If you give me a voice for three days

By Chen Xin

Tutor: Pang pinyue

“Everyone has a forest of their own. Maybe we have never been there before, but it is always there. The lost people are lost. The people who meet will meet again. Even the people you love most have a forest in their heart that you can’t reach.” But my forest is very quiet.

At 6:15 in the morning, I was still sleeping. Someone gently pulled my quilt and patted my shoulder. It must be the teacher on duty. “Well, I still can’t hear the wake-up bell.” Rubbing my eyes, looking at the figure that the teacher called us to get up one by one, I dressed, washed and hurried downstairs.

Today is Friday. At breakfast, my classmates and I talked excitedly about where to have dinner at the weekend, because we are about to graduate, which is a thing to celebrate. When I was “Dancing” and talking about which teachers to invite, my hands accidentally knocked over the soup in the bowl, which made the other students laugh. She said with a sign: “eat first, don’t talk.” I can’t help it. I stop playing sign language and pick up a bun and put it in my mouth.

Yes, I am a deaf person.

I live in a silent world, where there are cartoons on TV, no words, and I am at a loss; I go to the grocery store to play soy sauce, and I can’t understand what the boss says, so I feel inferior; when I walk on the street alone, I can’t hear the car whistle, I’m scared; when I face the doctor, I can’t tell my own pain, I’m anxious.

I have two “small ears” – hearing aids. Thanks to them, I can hear a bit of noise, not the melodious birds, at least the roar of airplanes; not the soothing piano music, at least the vigorous rock music; not the people’s whisper, at least the cheers on the field. They are my treasure and my weakness. I’m afraid that the “little ear” has no power, and the silent world makes me uneasy; I’m afraid that it will be damaged if it gets wet in rainy days; I’m most afraid that other people will look at my “little ear” with different eyes and refuse to make friends with me.

I used to fantasize about whether I came from outer space. On my planet, people don’t have to talk to each other, but only communicate by heart, eyes and brain waves.

Until, one night, I had a dream. There is a fairy with white hair in his dream. He said in an old voice: “give you three days’ voice, and listen to the wonderful voice of the world…” I was just about to ask, immortal has gone far.

In the early morning, I was in a dreamy sleep, “Twitter, twitter…” There is a clear bird song. It’s very nice. Hmm?! my God?! I sit up excitedly, I can hear the voice really. I have three days to listen to the wonderful voice in the world!

I came to the window and listened excitedly, ah! How light, how delicate, how sweet the song of birds is. I couldn’t contain my excitement and excitement. I got up and dressed and went downstairs. I heard my voice, “Da, Da, Da”. It’s amazing! My mother told me to have breakfast. She still signed with me as usual. She didn’t know I could hear the voice. I nodded to have breakfast. Mom and dad are talking about what major I studied in high school. They talk about west point here and haircut there. They are arguing. Then I suddenly looked up and said, “don’t argue.” Dad put down his chopsticks and said in surprise, “do you hear me? Can you hear me?” Dad asked me again uncertainly, and I nodded, “my daughter heard me!” Mom was about to cry excitedly, “so many years, finally until you can hear!” I quickly pacified her: “mom, don’t cry, you should be happy, smile.” When my mother heard me, she wiped away her tears and said, “OK, I’m happy!” my mother held me tightly, and my father came to hold me and my mother, and said happily, “this is really a day to celebrate!”

It’s Saturday. Mom and Dad don’t go to work. They are immersed in joy all day. They say excitedly to everyone they meet: “my daughter can hear us! It’s true!” the neighbors in the village, the boss in the small shop, and the boss in the vegetable market are all happy for me. My parents called many relatives and friends to celebrate for me. At the dinner table, mom and dad kept serving me food and asked me, “is it delicious?” I nodded like a chicken. My uncles and aunts kept talking about things I didn’t know in these years, what my parents paid for me, and what my friends did silently for me. Everyone’s voice was different, but their tone of concern for me was the same.

In the evening, I use my mobile phone to chat with my good friends, tell them the good news, and ask them out to play tomorrow. I lie in bed, thinking about today’s events, I can’t bear to sleep, I’m afraid it’s just a dream. I listened to the music, enjoyed the wonderful voice of the world, and gradually fell asleep

The next day, just at dawn, I got up. When I washed, I listened to the sound of running water in the tap, the sound of brushing my teeth and the sound of gargling. It was amazing! So many things would make sounds.

I made an appointment with my good friends to go to the amusement park. I walked on the road and listened to all the voices carefully. The little dog at the entrance of the village is barking, “Wang Wang…” ; the wind blows gently, the branches shake, “sand and sand……” There are also the sound of cars driving on the road, the sound of bus stops, so many voices, how magical, how beautiful.

When I arrived at the amusement park, I talked with my good friends about my magical experience, while playing with all kinds of amusement facilities happily, listening to all kinds of laughter. I comforted my friends: “I believe that one day, you will hear these wonderful voices.” In the afternoon, we were still discussing where to go in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it began to rain. I stood by the window and watched the rain keep falling. I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t go anywhere. Gradually, I heard the sound of the rain getting louder and louder, “rustle! Tick and tick!” I suddenly felt very happy. The rain was quiet. From the beginning, it was pattering. Listening to it, it became the sound of pouring rain, and the rain from the eaves continued to flow into a small stream on the ground. “Boom!” after a flash of lightning, there was a thunder, like an earthquake. It turns out that there are so many voices in the rain, so I have gained a lot.

In the evening, my parents and I sit together to watch TV. Ah, the people in the TV play have a beautiful voice. I hate to go to sleep.

The third day, this is the last day of the miracle. I listened to all kinds of wonderful voices for two days and gained so much. I also want to do something for the people around me. I decided to make a speech.

I use the way of speech to thank the people around me. Whether you are parents, friends, mentors or caring people, government leaders, etc., when I can’t hear you, I see your efforts and always remember them in my heart! Today, I can finally tell you with a “thank you” that I have received these warm love, and you are the most lovely person.

At the same time, I also want to say that I am not weak. I can do anything except listening. Please don’t refuse to be a restaurant attendant because I can’t hear you. I want to bring you delicious food. Please don’t refuse to be a hairdresser because I can’t speak clearly. I want to bring you charm. Please don’t refuse to communicate with me because I sign language. I want to say what I think. Please don’t look at me with a different eye because I wear a hearing aid. I just want to hear the voice of the world.

I, a deaf, also want to give you a piece of advice: cherish the days you can hear, cherish it as if you will lose your hearing tomorrow! Cherish every care your parents give you, cherish every encouragement your teachers give you, cherish every greeting your friends give you

Midnight is coming, three days of sound are coming to an end, and I will return to a silent world. In just three days, I can’t hear the beautiful voices of the whole world, but I have no regrets, because my heart is full of beautiful memories. In the future, when I see people and things around me, I can remember those wonderful voices.

I just want you to come to the forest in my heart, or let me come into your heart. Let’s work together to overthrow the wall of hearing barrier, to cut down one obstacle and add a touch of green to the world. This is the barrier free environment in my heart: you and me, laughter, in the forest where the flowers of happiness are everywhere, happy to meet!
