(2016·邢台一中高一上期中)My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression(消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a smalltown doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids，“I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27，000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.
