THE TOPMOST-绝顶-英文 内容简介
张海迪曾说：“虽然残疾限制了我行走的自由，但文学想象力却给了我无限的空间，让我的生命和一座遥远神秘的雪山连接起来，让它的美丽和圣洁映衬出理想与失落、灿烂与黯淡。在缺少了英雄主义的今天，我把无畏的气概交给绝顶的攀登者了，他们身上也许有我的理想主义的痕迹，他们的攀登就是我的生活态度——只要生命不完结，就不会停止攀登。”你会被《绝顶》里的人物感动，因为在对生命意义的追寻中，理想主义和英雄主义是有普世性的。
hang Haidi says, “Although disability limits my freedom to walk, literary imagination gives me infinite space, linking my life with a distant, mysterious snow-capped mountain, whose beauty and holy silhouette combine to highlight ideals and losses, bright aspects and dismay that are part of life. Today, when there seems to be an absence of heroism, I try to reveal the dauntless spirit of those who climb toward the mountain summit in an attempt to find traces of the idealism I cherish. Here lies my attitude toward life - the climb will not end as long as life continues.” Readers will be moved by the heroes and heroines of The Topmost, as they surely also admire idealism and heroism in their pursuit of a beautiful tomorrow.
