That's Helen Keller, the greatest writer in the world.
Helen Keller is an American blind and deaf woman writer and educator.
When I was young, I was sick, deaf in both ears and blind in both eyes. At the age of seven, Anne Sullivan became her mentor, and she has been her mentor and friend for 50 years. With Sullivan's help, he entered the university and graduated with honors. During her college years, she wrote The Story of My Life, telling how she overcame illness and disability and inspired thousands of disabled people and normal people. This book has been translated into 50 languages and distributed all over the world. Later, he wrote many words and several autobiographical novels, which showed that darkness and silence did not exist. Later, Keller became an outstanding social reformer, giving speeches in the United States, Europe and Asia to raise money for the blind and deaf. During World War II, she visited many hospitals to offer condolences to the blind soldiers. Her spirit is revered by people. 1964 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor of American citizens, and was elected as one of the top ten outstanding women in the world the following year.

1On the afternoon of June, 968, Helen Keller died in her sleep at the age of 87. Miss Keller was deaf and blind at 18 months after birth, but miraculously finished her life.
Helen Keller 1880 was born in mbia, Tuscany, in northern Alabama. When she was one and a half years old, a serious illness deprived her of her sight and hearing, and then she lost the ability to express herself in words. However, in this dark and lonely world, she actually learned to read and speak, and graduated with honors from Radcliffe College in the United States, becoming a well-known writer and educator proficient in five languages: English, French, German, Latin and Greek. She traveled all over the United States and the world to raise money for schools for the blind and devoted her life to the welfare and education of the blind. She has won the praise of people all over the world and won many government awards.
The most important thing for a deaf-mute to learn to read is for out of the dark to move towards the light. From learning to read to learning to read requires more perseverance than ordinary people. Helen observed Miss Sullivan's lips with her fingers and understood her throat trembling, mouth movements and facial expressions with her sense of touch, which was often inaccurate. In order to pronounce a word or sentence well, she has to practice it again and again. Helen never gives in to failure.
From Helen's education at the age of 7 to her admission to Radcliffe College 14, she wrote many letters to her relatives, friends and classmates. These letters either describe what she saw and heard on the trip, or pour out her feelings, and some people repeat a story she just heard, which is very rich in content. When she was in college, many textbooks didn't have Braille, and the contents of the books in her hand had to be spelled by others, so she spent much more time previewing her lessons than other students. While other students were playing and singing outside, she spent a lot of time preparing her lessons.
Helen can achieve such high academic performance in out of the dark not only because of her perseverance, but also because of her teacher Sullivan's follow-up teaching. She said that "the day when my teacher Anne Mansfield Sullivan came to my home was the most important day in my life" and "she liberated my spirit". It was her teacher who taught her to read and know that everything has a name, and it was also the teacher who taught her what an abstract noun like "love" is. Helen became ignorant and surly after her childhood illness and disability, and almost became a hopeless waste. But it is indeed a miracle that she became a literate college student. It can be said that half of this miracle was created by Helen's teacher, Anne Sullivan, and it was the fruit of her lofty dedication and scientific educational methods. No matter what Miss Sullivan teaches Helen, she always tells it clearly with a nice story or a poem. Her educational experience is very rich and her educational methods are different. She never locked Helen in her room for strict classroom education.
Helen overcame the mental pain caused by physical defects with tenacious perseverance. She loves life. She can ride horses, ski and play chess. She also likes theatrical performances and visits museums and places of interest, from which she can gain knowledge. At the age of 2 1, she collaborated with her teacher to publish her first novel, The Story of My Life. In the next 60 years, she wrote 14 books.
