a horrible accident I experienced (3rd part) To my great surprise again, the first taxi passing by refused to stop. The second taxi pulled up, but he warned me not to soil his seats. What cold-blooded those people were! If I had been a normal person that time, I would have kicked his ass. Anyway I got to the hospital and had my body checked out. My left collarbone and the first rib in my left side were broken. Luckily besides a huge scar on my left cheek, there was not trauma caused in my brain. But my head went totally out of normal shape, which made me look like a monster for a couple of days. Later the driver told me that the original driver had drunk a lot of alcohol the previous evening and asked him to replace him for one day. The driver who knocked me down was not good at driving at all. When the truck hit me, instead of stepping on the brake, he stepped on the gas! I lied in the hospital for a month and it took me half a year to fully recover. The accident did not cause eternal injury to my body except a little swell on my collarbone and I joined the military half a year after the accident. Miraculously the huge scar on my left cheek gradually disappeared. You can see from my picture that there is nothing left on my face. Chinese people always say: “One who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune for ever after.” But nearly nine years have passed since the accident. And what is more, I have gone through great disasters twice and the car accident was the second one. Sadly I still have not found my fortune. About the first disaster I experienced, I may tell you guys later in another notebook entry.
