O. Henry O.Henry told a moving story in his novel “The last leaf” as follows: a patient lay on the hospital ward and looked at the bleak tree outside, which was swept away by autumn wind. He suddenly found there is still a light green leaf on the tree and a stone was at the corner of the wall. The patient thought that his life would end when the leaf fell. Hence, he looked at the leaf all the day and waited for his dropping so as to end his own life silently. Nevertheless, the leaf didn’t drop, and when he got well, the lead was still green. In fact, there were no leaves on the tree and the leaf was drawn by a painter. It was not a true leaf, but it had achieved a vivid true effect and gave strong belief to the patient. After recovering, he walked out of the ward and see what happened. When he stood under the tree, he was moved by the painter’s heart. Because the painter was the only one who knew his inner secret, and he understood he would end his life silently as long as the leaf dropped. So the painter designed a false leaf according to the patient’s idea. I was this false leaf that continuously gave him valor to live, but in fact, the true living thing is people’s belief instead of that leaf. It is no doubt that we depend on many things and people so as to live in this society, but we should bear in mind that first of all we should make our hearts powerful enough to overcome diseases or difficulties bravely. Our life is more precious than anything in the world, such as diamonds, jades and so on, for it couldn’t be bought by money. So we should have strong belief to make our everyday meaningful and happy. As we know, nowadays our market is collapsing, so we undergo more pressures and have to work harder to make ends meet, but we should not bow our head to unpromising situations, instead, we should have strong belief to improve our ability and make our life better. In my opinion, it is impossible to beat a person who has strong belief to be powerful even in bad situations. Finally, do you also want to know more about stones?
