How good-looking she is!
How good-looking she is!

who is she? Why is her eyes so pure and peaceful? I only regret that I got to know her so late.
Her name is Mary Matlin, and she is the youngest actress in Oscar history to win. The year was 1986 and she was 21 years old.

In the film she plays a deaf girl.

In reality, she is a deaf girl. She lost hearing in both ears when she was 18 months old. I didn't even know deaf people won Oscars!

There's no need to sympathize with her hearing loss. She needs no sympathy, her life is too successful. In the just-released autobiography, the author wrote about her childhood. People will definitely imagine how difficult and painful her childhood was because she is disabled. In fact, her childhood was extremely happy. She recounted the beauty of her childhood, a cute puppy at home...

Everyone has disabilities, those who can walk sympathize with those in wheelchairs, and the birds that fly in the sky also sympathize with those who can only walk on the ground! Mental disabilities are sometimes more terrifying, and how many people with mental disabilities are there around us?

I admire Mary Matline. After her debut film won the Oscar Golden Globe Award, she continued to make movies and TV, and was nominated for three Emmy Awards. She also established her own independent production company and served as a director of several charities. She has a happy family and two lovely children. In 1995, she proposed a law at a hearing in the U.S. Capitol Auditorium that would require all televisions 13 inches or larger to provide subtitles on the screen. Only she will recognize the importance of such a move for the deaf and call for it.

She has such a wonderful life, her performance has been recognized by mainstream film awards, and she has worked hard to make her own world in the mainstream society. Watching and watching, I will wonder why I rarely hear stories of such disabled people around me? Is it that they don't have this talent or the environment doesn't give them the opportunity to show it? I think it's an environmental issue. Even if someone does something, it is the achievement of the "disabled world". Their world is as far away from the world of the so-called normal people as if they were separated by yin and yang. The media reports more on disabled families who are in deep distress, which is used to surround sympathetic eyes, which is somewhat condescending.

The above is an association, and then I talk about Mary Matlin. This article about her can have various titles, and it doesn't feel awkward to start "Self-improvement Matline". But at this time, I want to temporarily forget that she can't hear the world, even forget that she has done so many meaningful things, and even forget the word sympathy. I just want to think of her as a beautiful woman I met by chance, okay? See her beauty with the eyes of my "shy little boy". Only this kind of appreciation is the most equal and the least discriminatory.

How good-looking she is!

How good-looking she is!

To borrow Ziyou's words: "How good-looking she is!"
I said involuntarily, Liu Hong, how good-looking she is! right?

Ziyou wrote an article on BLOG: How good-looking she is! When I first read this article, I was moved.

He met Mary Matline. As a shy little boy, he looked at her beauty and praised her involuntarily.
He is an amorous person who values ​​inner beauty more.
She was beautiful on the outside and equally beautiful on the inside, which touched his heart.

She is a deaf girl living in her own beautiful world.
She has pure eyes full of love.
Her life is full of legends. She debuted on stage at the age of seven, and with her sweet appearance and superb acting skills, her acting career has been going smoothly.

She starred in the film "Children of God," in which she played a deaf girl who was perverse but longed to be loved, for which she won the Best Actress title at the 59th Academy Awards in 1987.
At just 21 years old, she became the first deaf actress in history to receive the honor. Youngest Best Actress winner in Oscar history! She is also the first hearing-impaired person to receive this award.

After that, she did a lot of things, more and more excellent performing arts works, including movies, TV, documentaries, she acted as an important producer, adapted drama series, and the film "Silent Scream" depicting the inner world of the hearing impaired. (Sound and Fury), was nominated for Best Documentary at the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001. She is great! I am proud of her!

She actively participates in social welfare undertakings and is very caring. She is also the mother of three children, how happy! The important thing is that she lived out her own beauty, her own value in life. The first time I saw her, I felt that the world was such a beautiful place. However, I couldn't find a movie about her in China, and it was not easy to see her movie works, so I always wondered.


Last night, I officially took my first sign language class. This is the first sign language course organized by the Nanjing Amity Foundation, which is held near NTU.

At the beginning, the students introduced themselves for the first time. When it was my turn, I was so nervous that I couldn't tell, and I was excited, "I am the youngest student here?" Made a gesture, the language of love, I LOVE YOU. Finally sat down, only to realize that I forgot to introduce my name! blush.

Our sign language teacher is Dai Manli. She is deaf like Mary Matline, and she also has a pair of beautiful and pure eyes.

At first, she sewed her lips together, implying that we should not utter a single word during class, and that no one should translate her sign language into Chinese. So, we smiled and promised her.
She held her back straight and taught slowly, making gestures one by one. It's fun and the action is beautiful. I feel that learning sign language is fast and happy. Did you know that the person in charge of the event talked a lot before, the habitual sound world, and then started the class, and suddenly we entered a silent environment. We were speechless and imitated sign language with Teacher Dai together. In such a strong contrast between sound and silence, it feels very good to be silent.

For example, "Baby is drinking milk." You must sign language word for word. But Teacher Dai didn't play like this. She simply made two gestures: holding the baby with both hands and shaking it, and then extending her thumb with one hand to imitate the baby's sucking. When we saw it, we laughed.

Simple, how fun.
