In a dark and dirty basement, there was a psychiatric hospital where a mental patient named Anne, who had been declared desperate by the doctors, was locked up.
But there was an old nurse who believed that every life God made was meaningful, so she often visited Little Annie with cake and dessert to express her love and care for the little girl.
Soon, the doctor noticed that little Anne was gradually changing. After a while, this patient, who was considered desperate by the doctor, actually recovered! But after recovering from her illness, Little Anne did not want to leave the hospital, she wanted to stay there to help other patients.
Years later, when Empress Victoria pinned Britain's highest medal of honor on Helen Keller, the Empress asked, "How can you achieve so much, deaf and blind?" Helen Keller said without hesitation, "If it weren't for Anne, absolutely no one would have known the name, Helen Keller."
