"Hemiplegic Pen: Book of Life" is about 400,000 words of memories written by a woman in the mountains after she suffered a stroke. The place I recall is Enshi, Hubei Province, which is now a fairyland that many people want to visit. The author is now nearly 90 years old. She suffered a stroke in October 2002. After being rescued by the hospital, she began to recover from less than ten years old and relied on tenacious perseverance to restart her life journey. It has been more than 20 years now. Starting from the end of 2011, the author said that he wanted to write down the things he had encountered and seen throughout his life. He couldn't speak, so he wrote instead, and he has been writing until now. It can be said that this work was "engraved" word by word with his left hand for more than ten years by an old man who was paralyzed by a stroke and highly myopic. This is very rare in the world we have experienced. The author writes with a hemiplegic pen after being over seventy years old. She is able to write so clearly about the things she has experienced in her life, which makes us read as if we are appreciating the best in gongbi paintings. Whether she is writing about family members, herself or rural affairs, recording news and experiences or recording history, it makes people feel the beauty of life, almost legendary. In a sense, it can be said that she has left an irreplaceable record of life for the era she has experienced, which is also very rare among the author's peers. The author mainly uses line drawings to describe people and events. Every paragraph of text can reveal a kind of simplicity and authenticity that is rare in the current era, allowing us to see the quality of life of a woman living in the mountains.
