4 . Every superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape(披风). That was Robyn Rosenberger’s motivation when she started sewing superhero caps for kids with cancer, heart defects, and other serious diseases.
It all began when she was making a cape as a birthday present for her nephew. Rosenberger heard of a girl named Brenna who was battling a potentially deadly skin condition called harlequin ichthyosis(鱼鳞病). Anyone going through what she was going through had to be tough. “I had a happy moment,” Rosenberger says. “Brenna was a superhero! She needed a cape.”
So, Rosenberger sent her one, and Brenna’s mother was delighted. Rosenberger found ten more kids online and sent out ten more capes. Before long, she quit her job at a software company to devote herself to tinysuperheroes.com, a website where people can buy handmade capes for brave kids facing illness and disability.
Since 2013, Rosenberger and her small paid staff have sent more than 12,000 handmade capes to kids in all 500 states and 15 other countries. The capes come in pink, blue, purple, or red and can be decorated with the child’s initials(姓氏首字母) or specialized patches, including a heart, a rocket, or a lightning bolt. One receiver was eight-month-old Gabe, who was born with a cleft palate(腭裂) and Coffin-Siris Syndrome, which causes distinct (特有的) facial features. Rosenberger sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center. It was a hit. Gabe is now a fixture on the company’s social media posts. “The TinySuperhero community has been a wonderful connection to have,” says Gabe’s mom, Kate Glocke. “In fact, two years later, we still bring Gabe’s cape with us to every hospital appointment.”

Chelsea Hill is a respectable girl. Since the age of three, she has dreamed of be a dancer.
That ambition was nearly on an end one night in 2010. Hill, then a17-year-old high school student in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident, that put her in hospital for 51 day and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that will have ruined any hope of dreams. For Hill himself, it was the beginning. Although it was real tough, but Hill achieved the dream in her wheelchair. Hoping to expand her dance to help women like her, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed team of dancer with disabilities naming the Rollettes.

9 . When Ma Hu was chosen for a baseball training camp in Beijing, the 12-year-old didn't have the slightest idea how baseball was played or even what a baseball field looked like.
The son of a migrant worker in Ningxia, northwest China didn't have enough warmth of family. In the past, he was a headache for the teachers at school, acting up in the class and fighting with classmates during break time.
"I was lost at the street crossing and got picked up by the camp people" is how Ma describes how he came to join the training camp run by the Power Baseball Angel project. It was launched by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of the men's national baseball team, in 2015 to provide professional training to children from poor households and remote areas.
When Ma joined the camp, it had only 16 boys. They were told those who could get into the national top three would qualify for college admission. Other good players could join professional baseball teams. Still others could work at the base, leaching the newcomers.
Ma, now 15, has become a professional baseball player with a bright future. His story, including his early days when he fought with his teammates and ignored the coaches instructions, is part of an award-winning documentary Tough Out on the young baseball players at the camp, which was released in December 2020.
The documentary focuses on the team of underprivileged and abandoned children who struggled to learn a new sport and build a new life for themselves while fighting low self-esteem(自尊)and pursuing their dreams. It is dedicated to people who work hard silently, seize every opportunity and refuse to admit defeat.
