学会知足。感激生命中美好的事情，时刻快乐……因为你其实很幸福。

　　At 16, I’m the first person to  survive four organ transplants. When I was born, I was diagnosed with a disease called biliary atresia. Nobody knows what causes the disease, but it blocks ducts in my body that carry bile from my liver to the intestine. That creates a backup of bile, causing the liver to fail.

　　I was so ill as a baby that I had to get a liver transplant at only 7 months old. All of my donors had recently passed away, and I will never forger how fortunate I have been to receive their organs.

　　As an organ recipient, I have to be watched carefully and tested for the rest of my life. At times, I think about the children who passed away and allowed me to have their organs so I could survive. I don’t think anyone can ever know how truly grateful I am. I’ve never been in contact with the donors’ families since they chose to remain anonymous, but I wrote thank-you letters that were delivered to them. I would love to be an organ donor myself one day, but because of my illness, I’m not sure if my organs would be usable.

　　The last transplant has made me more appreciative of the kindness of others. I think about all my hospital roommates and worry about how they’re doing. I’m much more aware of people in distress, and I’m always ready to help them. Even so, I don’t get too emotional when I see people going through hard times. I’ve learned that things in life might not always turn out so well. You have to accept the bad with the good. Things don’t always go your way, and you sometimes have to deal with things you might not like. This experience has helped me evolve as a person. I take nothing for granted, and little things don’t bother me. What’s most important is health——and how you feel about yourself and others. If you’re going through a tough experience, just view it as though it’s meant to be and know you’ll get through it. Be happy for what you have.

　　16岁的我是第一个接受过四次器官移植手术后仍存活的人。我出生时被诊断患有一种叫胆道闭锁的疾病。没有人知道病因，但这个病把我体内从肝脏到肠道用来运输胆汁的管道堵住了。这会引起胆汁阻塞，致使肝脏衰竭。

　　我还是婴儿的时候病情就很严重，只七个月大就要接受肝脏移植手术。我的所有捐献者都是去世不久的，我永远也不会忘记自己是多么幸运，能够获得他们的器官。

　　作为一名器官移植接受者，我必须接受细致观察，而且一辈子都要接受检查。有时候，我会想起那些去世的孩子，是他们把器官给了我，我才得以活下来。我想没有人能明白我是多么真诚地感激他们。我从来没有联系过捐献者的家属，因为他们不愿留下姓名，但我还是写了感谢信，让人转交给他们。我希望将来有一天我能成为一名器官捐献者，可是因为我的病，我不确定自己的器官是否有用。

　　最后一次器官移植让我更加感激他人的慷慨之情。我想起我的病友，为他们的情况挂心。我更加关心处于不幸的人，并乐于帮助他们。即使如此，当我看见别人经历困难的时候，我不会过于感情用事，我明白到人生中不可能事事如意。无论好坏你都得接受。事情并不常常如愿，有时候你不得不去处理自己不喜欢的事情。正是这些经历让我逐渐成为一个完整的人。我不觉得世事是理所当然的，也不会受鸡毛蒜皮的小事影响。人生最重要的是健康——还有你对自己和他人的看法。如果你正经历逆境，就把它看作是天意吧，并相信自己能渡过难关。学会知足。
