Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.

Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D.C.was offering a free course，specially designed for blind people，This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way？I knew that the American singer Ray Charles，also blind，got around on his own without a cane （手杖）.His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout （布局）of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first，I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind，The next time I visited that place，I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it，But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help，not thinking what others think or say about me.

Today，I'm a reporter and broadcaster.I've achieved my dream.
Yes，I've lost my way many times and found it again.Yes，I've come close to being hit by a car but never bee hit by one.When people ask， "Aren't you afraid to be out alone？" the answer to me is clear；I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

"Mom!I found one!I found a rock!"
I heard those words again and again last summer as I sat by the window，which faces a park in the small town where I live.
The Kindness Rocks Project，which was started a few years ago by a mom in Massachusetts，has spread around the world.Kids，families，and people of all ages are taking part in painting rocks，hiding rocks，and finding painted rocks all over the place.Some post photos of the rocks on social media （传媒），and others simply move the rocks for someone else to find.Some take the rocks home and then replace them with new ones that they created and hid.
Nine﹣year﹣old twins Harry and Hannah DeVrieze have painted hundreds of rocks with their parents.Most evenings，the family and their small dog walk around with a wagon （运货车） full of rocks that they hide as they walk.
"It's a fun family activity，" Hannah says.
"We will do it in the winter too，" Hannah says.
Ben Burinsky，age nine，and his brother，Luke，age seven，were visiting relatives （亲戚） when they found their first painted rock in a park.They were so excited that they went home and painted their own rocks，then hid them for others to find.
"My boys loved finding the rock in the park，especially since it was a superhero，" their mother，Judy Burinsky，says. "I love how something so small can bring a smile to my children's faces.In return，they learn the value of giving back to others."
Kadyn Kinney，age nine，and his seven﹣year﹣old brother，Jayce，have also painted many rocks.They love to hide rocks and look for rocks with their mom and dad.When their grandmother visited，they gave her painted rocks to take home and hide in the Florida town where she lives.When asked how many rocks he has painted so far，Jayce says， "Trust me!I've painted more than 30."
