真正的幸福，从不会凭空降落。那些闪闪发光的人生，从来不是天赋的侥幸，而是日复一日的咬牙坚持，是跨越苦难依然向阳的滚烫热爱。幸福究竟从何而来？
10 月 21 日，青浦协和有幸迎来三届残奥会举重冠军、世界纪录保持者边建欣女士，带来《幸福，是奋斗出来的》励志分享。她以自己滚烫的人生故事和孩子们倾心对话，娓娓解读这份真谛，让协和少年真切懂得：幸福，因奋斗而生。
True happiness never falls from the sky. Brilliant lives are never simply down to luck or talent; they are the result of day‑in‑day‑out grit and perseverance, and the burning passion to stay positive despite hardships. Where does happiness truly come from?
On 21 October, SUIS Qingpu welcomed Ms Bian Jianxin, three‑time Paralympic weightlifting champion and world‑record holder, who delivered an inspiring speech titled Happiness Is Achieved Through Hard Work. Sharing her powerful life story with the students, she illustrated this truth, helping the students truly understand that happiness is born from striving.
被誉为 “轮椅上的铿锵玫瑰”，病痛与磨难是边建欣女士成长路上的重重考验，但她以不屈为铠甲、以坚持为羽翼，从未向逆境低头。凭借超乎常人的毅力，她征战悉尼、雅典、北京三届残奥会，斩获十余枚国际赛事金牌，四十余次打破世界纪录，写下 “参赛必夺冠” 的赛场传奇。走下赛场，她投身公益宣讲，用亲身经历照亮无数少年的成长之路。
讲座现场温情满满、直抵人心。
边建欣女士用温柔质朴的语言，讲述自己坎坷的成长、严苛的训练，以及一次次突破身体极限的拼搏故事。从与命运顽强对抗，到拼尽全力站上世界领奖台，一段段真实滚烫的经历，深深叩击孩子们的心灵。
同学们凝神聆听，深受触动，勇敢举手与冠军交流。每当一段奋斗故事讲毕，台下便响起真挚热烈的掌声，这是少年们对自强不息、永不言弃最纯粹的致敬。
“真正的幸福，从来不是坐享其成，而是奋斗之后的豁然开朗；真正的强大，从来不是一帆风顺，而是屡挫屡勇、永不言弃。”
边建欣女士寄语全体孩子：成长从无捷径，所有收获都源于自律与坚持，唯有脚踏实地笃行不怠，方能收获属于自己的幸福与荣光。
Known as the “resilient rose in a wheelchair”, Bian Jianxin has faced illness and hardship throughout her life. Yet she armed herself with perseverance and took persistence as her wings, never bowing to adversity. With extraordinary willpower, she competed at the Sydney, Athens and Beijing Paralympic Games, winning over ten gold medals in international competitions and breaking world records more than forty times, building a legendary competitive record of “winning every contest she enters”. Since retiring from competition, she has devoted herself to public‑welfare lectures, illuminating the growth paths of countless young people with her own life experience.
The lecture was warm‑hearted and deeply touching.
In plain, gentle words, Ms Bian recounted her tough upbringing, gruelling training sessions and stories of pushing past her physical limits time and again. Her powerful, real‑life accounts of fighting against fate and striving to stand atop world podiums struck a chord with every child in the audience.
The students listened intently, deeply moved, and raised their hands bravely to interact with the champion. After each story of perseverance, sincere and warm applause filled the hall. Young people’s pure tribute to self‑improvement and unyielding spirit.
“True happiness is never something you can enjoy passively; it is the sense of clarity that comes after hard‑won striving. True strength does not mean a smooth‑sailing life, but the courage to rise again after every setback and never give up.”
Ms Bian left all the children with this message: there are no shortcuts in growth. Every gain comes from self‑discipline and persistence. Only by staying grounded and keeping moving forward can you attain your own happiness and glory.
讲座尾声，暖意温柔延续。被孩子们纯粹真诚的喜爱打动，边建欣女士清唱《我不想说再见》。没有伴奏烘托，干净温柔的歌声响彻全场，同学们默契抬手合拍，掌声化作最质朴的伴奏，一人轻唱，满场和鸣，为这场励志课堂画上温暖治愈的句号。
讲座落幕，感动不散。孩子们纷纷上前签名、合影留念，珍藏与榜样相遇的温暖瞬间。冠军自强不息的精神、温柔坚定的人生态度，悄然浸润童心、启迪成长。
As the lecture drew to a close, warmth lingered. Touched by the children’s genuine affection, Ms Bian sang I Don’t Want to Say Goodbye unaccompanied. Her clear, soft voice echoed through the venue. The students clapped along in unison, their applause serving as simple accompaniment. One voice sang, and the whole room resonated, bringing this inspiring lesson to a heartfelt, healing close.
Though the lecture ended, its inspiration lived on. Crowds of children came forward for autographs and group photos, treasuring this precious encounter with a role model. The champion’s spirit of self‑improvement and her gentle yet firm attitude towards life quietly nourished young hearts and inspired their growth.
这场和榜样的相遇，在少年心中漾开层层涟漪，大家有许多感悟想说。
我们也一起来听听孩子们的真挚心声：

听了边建欣老师的讲座，我特别感动。边建欣老师是残奥会举重冠军，她从小手脚不方便，却不怕吃苦，坚持锻炼，学会照顾自己，还奋力拼搏站上赛场。她说，奋斗的机会是平等的，幸福是奋斗出来的。以后我遇到困难，也要勇敢坚持，努力向前！
After listening to Ms Bian Jianxin’s lecture, I was deeply touched. As a Paralympic weightlifting champion, Ms Bian lived with physical limitations from childhood. Still, she braved hardships, trained hard, learned to take care of herself, and fought her way onto the world competition stage. She said opportunities for striving are equal, and happiness comes from hard work. From now on, when I meet difficulties, I will also hold fast bravely and keep moving forward!

听完边建欣老师的讲座，我内心久久不能平静。老师身有残疾，却凭着顽强的毅力刻苦训练，站上残奥赛场夺得金牌。她不怕吃苦、永不放弃的精神深深打动了我。万物皆有裂痕，那正是光照进来的地方，让我们勇敢地做自己的那束光。
My heart lingered on her words long after Ms Bian Jianxin’s lecture. Living with a disability, she underwent rigorous training with incredible perseverance and won gold medals at the Paralympics. Her fearless hard work and refusal to give up moved me greatly. Every ‘crack’ in life is where light can stream in. Let us bravely be our own light.

周三下午大课间，我们 5F 班有幸被邀请聆听三届残奥会冠军边建欣老师的励志讲座。她曾斩获 17 枚国际金牌，而这些奖牌背后，是日复一日的刻苦训练 —— 每一块金牌，都是汗水和伤疤换来的。有同学问她，为什么会选择体育这条路？她的回答很朴素：体育赛场是最公平的地方，靠自己拼来的金牌，才是真本事。话音落下，台下掌声雷动。
人们常说，上帝关上一扇门，总会打开一扇窗。边建欣老师用自己的努力成为了残奥举重史上的第一人。
On Wednesday afternoon during break time, our Class 5F was fortunate to attend the inspiring lecture by three‑time Paralympic champion Ms Bian Jianxin. She has won 17 international gold medals, yet every medal came from endless tough training — each gold was earned through sweat and scars. One student asked her why she chose sports. Her answer was simple: the sports field is one of the fairest places. Gold medals you earn through your own efforts are real achievements. As she finished speaking, thunderous applause burst out.
As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window. Through her own efforts, Ms Bian Jianxin made history in Paralympic weightlifting.

边建欣老师用自己的亲身经历告诉我们：人生不怕困难，只怕不努力。身体的缺陷不是放弃的理由，坚持和勇气才是一个人最大的力量。就像她说的一样：没有躺赢的人生，只有拼出来的精彩。没有凭空而来的幸运，唯有努力不负韶华。听完讲座，我突然想起了自己：学习时遇到一点小困难就想放弃。可和边建欣老师一比，我遇到的困难根本微不足道。今后我要向边建欣老师学习，学习她坚强、勇敢、不怕吃苦的精神。遇到难题不放弃，遇到挫折不退缩。我会珍惜现在美好的生活，认真学习，努力进步，做一个自律、勇敢、懂得坚持的好学生。
Ms Bian Jianxin told us, from her own experience, that what we should fear in life is not difficulty but a lack of effort. Physical imperfection is no excuse to give up. Perseverance and courage are our greatest strengths. As she put it: no one wins life lying down; wonderful lives are forged through struggle. Luck never comes out of thin air; only hard work honours our youth. Listening to her talk made me reflect on myself. I tend to want to give up when facing small difficulties in my studies. Compared with what Ms Bian has endured, my troubles are trivial. I will learn from her: her strength, bravery and willingness to endure hardship. I will not quit when facing hard problems or shrink back from setbacks. I will cherish my good life, study earnestly, keep improving, and become a self‑disciplined, brave and persistent student.
