If you haven’t experienced true despair, don’t ridicule others’ beliefs.

Bethany, who has lived in the surfing sacred place of Hawaii since she was a child, grew up with her two older brothers. Her natural unyielding character made her stand out in surfing competitions at a young age. However, life is like surfing, full of adventure. At the age of 13, the storm of life rushed to Bethany and was bitten by a shark. She won a life-saving race against time, but lost her left arm forever.

I was caught off guard by bad luck, and every little thing turned into a huge challenge. Bethany endured various emotions and wanted to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional surfer. However, the reality of the game was far from the ideals. She was discouraged and went to the tsunami-stricken Bali to work as a volunteer. When she saw the loss All children really know when they are children that they have lost far less than they imagined. Unfortunately, they will also bring us new hope.

Bethany, who has returned to the game, not only possesses the technique of one-armed surfing, but also possesses a powerful mental power that no one else can match. Although the competition result is only fifth, but the perfect surfing level has become the first in everyone's hearts.

"Soul Surfer" was shot on site in Hawaii in 2011. Many surf doubles were made by the film prototype girl herself. The game between man and nature is real, natural and full of passion. On a hot summer day, the elements of sun, beach, and surfing can definitely cool down people in the heat. At the same time, the movie is full of chicken soup for the soul that is not too tiring, which is very suitable for people who are experiencing frustration.

Bethany, who had just lost his arm, endured grief and rejected the sympathetic care and gaze of others. But when she arrived in Bali and saw the mess in the disaster area, the teacher said "Don't be afraid of sympathy, sympathy can bring wonderful things to people." It really opened her heart that was blocked because of the loss.

People always feel inferior because of lack, because inferiority treats all kind care as charity and sympathy, but the seemingly strong character is full of distortions. Only by truly recognizing yourself, being strong enough, and accepting everyone's care and love, can this deficiency truly become a perfect "Venus".

The girl's phrase "I don't need easy, I need possibility" has become my motto.

No one's life can be defined. Accidents and luck happen first. There is no way to control them. If you fall in the impact zone, you must stand up immediately, because you don't know what will happen in the next wave.

Instead of relying on God's blessing, it is better to create miracles after the accident.
