The patch of life

        Not long ago, My daughter's frosting shoes were scratched by someone's knife. She burst into tears. I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired.

        The first paragraph talks about the author's daughter's glass slipper being scratched by someone else's knife. The daughter was very sad, so the author wanted to give the shoe to a shoemaker for repair.

        The young apprentice glanced at the opening and said , "There is nothing I can do but to replace the upper ."

        His master looked at me and said , "If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes. "

        The young apprentice told the author and his daughter: "I can't do anything except changing the appearance of the shoes." The young shoemaker is still young. His master looked at the author and said, "If you believe me, I will add more scratches to both shoes."

        I was confused and ask why.

        He explained, "As if the opening was made on purpose for the sake (Good 处, profit, purpose) of special style and reuse".

        The author was puzzled, and the master explained, "It's like I deliberately made some special styles and reused them." The master shoemaker saw that although the shoes had scratches, I could use these scratches to make the shoes look good again.

        I don't fully understand him, I decided to leave the shoes.

        Two days later, I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found they were five or six scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched by soft leather in rust red with edges sewed by thick hemp thread; the stitches(缝线) were twisted the appearance(露面) of  roughness and plainness(粗糙度和平整度)  which was accordance with the quality of the frosting leather(与水晶皮革一致), more unique and interesting than ever. I couldn't help making compliments on the master's craftsmanship(手艺、工艺).

        At first, the author gave the shoes to the craftsman with the attitude of giving it a try. At first glance, they looked ordinary. After a closer look, he found that the craftsman had used leather of the same material to repair the holes. The author was very surprised and highly impressed. Appreciated the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

        Another time, my wife's sister white blouse was torn(tear的过去分词,撕裂) a large opening on the back. My wife took it over and checked carefully, and then said , "Let me take it home and mend it ."

        Two days later,  seeing the blouse again, I was shocked: all the cracks and openings were sewed up by thin and white thread and they took on a look of branches, like the ice crystal on winter's branches in the north. In order to intensify the effect, she attached a fatty snowman and a cabin made of flowery cotton rags on the shirt.I sighed with praise, "It's just as beautiful as a piece of art. "

        In addition, the author's wife's sister's jacket also had a big hole torn. After the wife sewed the clothes, she attached a snowman and a gorgeous cotton cloth to it. The author was shocked when he saw it, and exclaimed that it was like a work of art. pretty.

        "I was inspired by the craftsman, Patches are supposed be a reget, but a skillful craftsman can make it take on a look of perfection. " replied my wife.

        My wife said, I was inspired by the master craftsman. The patch should have been a pity, but a skilled craftsman can make it perfect.

        Her words inspired me even more: perfection is impossible to achieve  in everything; patches are unavoidable, so is human's life , which will appear in the form of(以...形式) injury, disability or disease. Since you can't change the existance of the wound, you should not expect people's sympathy by the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful . All you best to bloom a  most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the significance of life.

        The author laments that patches are inevitable, just like life, and may appear in the form of injuries, disabilities, diseases, etc. You cannot change the wounds that have already appeared. You can only plant flowers on the wounds to make life more beautiful. significance.
