No pain No gain
I encountered a terrible thing when I was 10 years and I never forgot it, because at that moment I was between life and death.
I was born in a coastal city, the peoples of this city very fond of swimming in the sea and I always go to the beach after dinner, this had become my habit. That day of my story was a bad weather day and sea wind was so heavy, I was very overconfidence of my swimming technique, so still had went to the beach and swum in the sea alone, I was very excited so farther and farther away from the shore, maybe that is not very far for adult, but I dare say the water deeper than my height, the weather is getting worse, I realized the danger so decided to return to shore, but it's too late, a big wave came towards me suddenly then I choked a water and be swallowed by water, I tried to stay awake and exhausted all efforts to self help, but a big wave follow came again, then
I was completely submerged into the water, I feel my consciousness gradually blurred even can't feel the pain, but a big hand caught me and pulled me to move, I do not know anything but I realized that I returned to the beach later, my father saved me and I cried the moment,I don't know why I was crying in that time, maybe because fear or felt happy, maybe I was moved.
Later I knew that my father always came to the beach with me, but never made me aware that him. My father gave me my life and my father saved me in the face of death, I do not want to thank my father here because in front of parents everyday is Thanksgiving.
There is a saying in China, just "the one who drowns is the one who is good at swimming", so after that incident, I always very careful when I was swimming, may be this is by falling we learn to go safely.
