About true dignity, courage and the moving emotions of life. How to transform from a weak boy who was bullied to a boxing champion? I only knew Happy for twenty-four hours, but he changed my life. He taught me the "power of one". With this power, I dared to tell the truth in court, knew how to make people stronger than myself fall to the ground first in the boxing ring, and also learned how to protect myself in a chaotic world full of violence and discrimination. From then on, I was no longer the "pee-pee" who suffered bullying and swallowed everything in boarding school. Many years later, when I met my opponent again, I no longer flinched, but took the first step with a smile.

"April Fool's Day Saying Goodbye" is a life biography written by Australian national treasure writer Bryce Courtney for his son Damon who died young. It is a true story of illness, frustration and anger, as well as courage, struggle and love. Damon was born with hemophilia and his life was much shorter than the average person's. Even more unfortunately, he was accidentally infected with HIV during a routine blood transfusion when he was 17 years old, and was later diagnosed. Suffering from the dual torture of hemophilia and AIDS, he also suffered from mental problems for a time. Despite this, he still worked hard to survive and wanted to live with dignity by his own strength. In his short life, he also enjoyed the love from his parents and two brothers. More importantly, he had love. A girl named Celeste loved and accompanied Damon deeply until the end of his life. On April 1, 1991, Dimon, who was only 24 years old, died of complications. Before his death, he begged his father, a writer, to write his life story into a book. This is the origin of the book "Goodbye on April Fool's Day". In addition to his father Bryce writing most of the chapters, Damon himself (written during his lifetime), his mother Benita, and Damon's lover Celeste also wrote a part each and jointly completed the book. About life and health, family affection and love, reflections on parent-child relationships and fatherhood, criticism of the medical system and bureaucracy... This is by no means a simple biography, it is a work on life issues worthy of everyone's reflection.
