English Poetry of Grade Four (Short Story)

Soldiers in wheelchairs

Who is Hawking? He is a brain, a myth, the most outstanding theoretical physicist of our time, a giant in the name of science ... perhaps, he is just a warrior who challenges his fate in a wheelchair.

Once, Hawking returned to his apartment in Berlin in a wheelchair. I was knocked down by a car while crossing the road, my left arm was broken, my head was cut, and I had 13 stitches. About 48 hours later, he returned to the office and began to work.

Despite the growing physical disability, Hawking still tries to live like an ordinary person and accomplish what he can. He's even lively-it sounds a bit funny. After he was completely unable to move, he still insisted on driving a wheelchair with his only movable finger on the way to the office. When meeting Prince Charles, he turned his wheelchair to show off and ran over Prince Charles' toes. Of course, Hawking also tasted the consequences of "freedom" action. The master of quantum gravity jumped into the wheelchair many times under the weak gravity of the earth. Fortunately, every time he stubbornly "stood up".

1985, Hawking underwent tracheal surgery, and since then he has completely lost the ability to speak. It is under such circumstances that he made great efforts to write the famous A Brief History of Time and explored the origin of the universe.
