I was very surprised to receive the phone call at 4 o'clock in the morning.It was from the hospital.Our son was terribly burnt on his face,neck and arms.They had called for an ambulance (救护车)and were going to take him to the burn unit in Beijing.Beijing is 350 miles from his university,so we realized immediately that was serious.

My son's room?mate described the accident,which caused the burns.Our son and his friends decided to barbecue (烧烤)hamburgers in the yard of their apartment.When they hit the charcoal (木炭),it started a fire in a sudden.The fire caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his back to his head.He stayed in hospital for almost two months.After he got well,he had to return to college with scars caused by serious burning.

When I was a child,my mother told my sister,who had a long,very clear scar on her arm,“Xiaoling,if you don't care about the scar,other people will pay no attention to it.It does not mean they will not notice it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you.”I passed this suggestion on to my son who took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high—glad he was alive.

We all have “scars”that cause people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we look differently,or dress differently,people would like us better.But if you focus on them,other people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes.Put the scars aside,after all,nobody is perfect,so try to be confident,and your beauty will shine through.
