The sun has come out.

  "Teacher Si, I really am in the kind of mood you mentioned, and I'm also in this kind of state. Am I beyond salvation?"

  "On the contrary, what one fears is not the severity of the illness, but rather the failure to diagnose it correctly. As long as the diagnosis is accurate and the treatment is targeted, the disease will naturally be cured. The same principle applies when there are psychological problems - as long as you know where your problem lies and make up your mind to overcome and correct it, recovering mental health is extremely easy. It all depends on whether you have the determination and confidence."

  "Teacher Si, I'm very confident!"

  "Great! Do you still want to live?"

  "I want to live."

  "How to live? Is it like now, or is it to make a comeback and face even greater challenges?"

  "Of course choose the latter!"

  "Of course, choose the latter." These six words are extremely powerful and completely different from the desperate tone on the phone just now. My heart was shaken, as if I had been searching hard in the desert and finally found a small green grass, perhaps this little grass is enough to sprout.

  Throughout her entire life... a child's heart is after all pure and clear; once moved, it will inevitably leave an indelible mark on her for the rest of her life.

  "I have great faith in you, believing in your wit, determination and perseverance. I am confident that you will become an excellent student with both good grades and character. However, remember that overcoming a weakness is much more difficult than cultivating a habit. What is perseverance? Perseverance means to overcome the psychological and behavioral obstacles that should not exist, ensuring and adhering to one's own moral principles and ideological behavior."

  We can't make ourselves forever be the best, but we can make ourselves better through hard work!

  I spoke with great force, just like I was giving a speech. My excitement infected the little girl, and she replied firmly to me:

  "Teacher Si, don't worry, I'm full of confidence in myself, it feels great!"

  "How does it feel? Can you tell me about it?"

  "It's like... it's like the feeling of dawn breaking, it feels great!"

  "The feeling of dawn" is well said! Only those who have experienced the darkness can truly appreciate the preciousness of light. Those who have not experienced pain cannot grow up.

  "Teacher Si, I really feel like I've grown up several years all of a sudden."

  A person's growth is like climbing a staircase, every time you reach a new floor, you need to stop and linger at the turn, then continue upwards. It's often at these "turns" that people feel the most tired and are most likely to give up. In fact, each turning point is a starting point for reaching the next level. Whoever can persist until the end will climb the highest, see the farthest, gain the most, live the most fulfilling and happiest life!

  "Teacher Si, you are really amazing, like a philosopher. I really admire you."

  "How old are you now? When I was your age, I was still illiterate. Do you envy me? By the time you reach my age, you won't just be 'like a philosopher', but a real philosopher! Work hard!"

  "It's impossible... for someone as useless as me..."

  "Look, look, is he denying himself again?"

  "Sorry."

  "Actually, the greatest enemy of human beings is not others, but ourselves. Think about it, all the suffering, misfortune, pressure and lack of confidence are just feelings that we impose on ourselves. If you keep telling yourself: what's suffering? What's pressure? Without suffering, how can there be wisdom? Without pressure, how can there be strength? You will turn all your perceived 'no's into 'can's."

  It has become an opportunity and confidence. People grow up and thrive in this way!

  She said excitedly:

  "Teacher Si, you said it so well! I really want to applaud for you."

  "What was it like when the sky brightened up just now? What is it like now?"

  She didn't even think about it and blurted out:

  "The sun is out! Really, Teacher Sai, the sun is out! The sun really came out..."

  Her voice grew louder and louder, as if it were echoing in a forest filled with dew drops and bathed in morning sunlight.

  The phone was hung up, but my mood couldn't calm down for a long time. How long can this "sunrise" feeling of hers last? Because I know she still has to face that teacher who scares her at the mere sight, those parents who dote on her excessively, and those classmates who only care about their own studies and are afraid of others catching up with them. She is powerless to change others and can only try to change herself under the premise of adapting, ultimately perfecting herself. However, the road ahead is still long, and there are many difficulties and setbacks to face - whether she can bravely endure this will determine her life's foundation. What worries me even more is that how many children like her are still living in a dark world without sunlight, when will their days be able to see the light again?
