他“比飞速前行的子弹还快，比火车头更有力，轻轻一跃就能跳上高大的建筑物。”他就是全世界最伟大的超级英雄。1977年，克里斯托弗·里夫出演超人系列电影，全国观众欢呼喝彩。克里斯托弗活跃、英俊、强壮，一如影片中的超人，而且似乎战无不胜。他滑雪、驾船、驾驶飞机、潜水、骑马、打网球，无一不是技艺高超，挥洒自如。谁也无法想象克里斯托弗会是另外一种样子。

1995年5月27日，一切都改变了。当时克里斯托弗和妻子达纳·莫罗西尼带着年幼的儿子威尔待在弗吉尼亚州。他参加了一项为期三天的马术比赛。他的坐骑“东方快车”看上去状态颇佳。42岁的克里斯托弗也显得同样神采奕奕，气定神闲。

对克里斯托弗而言，比赛进行得很顺利，虽没有名列前茅，但也没有落到最后。但在一场两英里的障碍赛中，第三次跨越障碍时，马和骑手之间不知怎么失去了默契。“东方快车”突然停了下来，可是克里斯托弗还在继续前行，他身子飞过马的头顶，头部着地摔了下来：一动不动，甚至没有呼吸。克里斯托弗颅腔底部的脊柱折断了，导致颈部以下瘫痪。他不能说话，甚至无法自主呼吸。当时医生们认为他的生存几率只有50%。

绝望攫住了克里斯托弗·里夫的心。他想，也许放弃生存的努力是最佳的方案。死亡似乎是最不费劲、痛苦最少的一件事。他想放弃生存对家人而言也是最佳方案。但这时他看见妻子达纳站在他身边，对他说：“你依然是你。我爱你。”

从那一刻开始，克里斯托弗一心只想着活下去。他鼓起勇气，开始为生命而战斗。几天以后，克里斯托弗接受了手术，术后他的上半身恢复了一些知觉。不过，医生们仍然不乐观。他可能永远不能再走路了。他也许永远就只能靠着呼吸器来呼吸了。克里斯托弗要证明医生们错了。首先，他想靠自己呼吸。事故过后5个月，他要求拿掉呼吸器。他只勉强地呼吸了10次就得重新连上呼吸管。克里斯托弗毫不气馁，第2天又多呼吸了几次。到第4天的时候，他不用帮助可以呼吸7分钟了。3个月以后，他可以一次持续呼吸90分钟。1995年底，他已经可以回家了。

在那以后不久，克里斯托弗觉得自己已经做好准备，可以重新面对世界了。他有话要说。他想告诉人们，不论面对怎样的挑战，都不能放弃。他开始频频在公众场合出现，在多伦多作过激扬的演说，在波士顿大学毕业典礼上进行过讲演。不论克里斯托弗出现在哪里，人们都起立喝彩，很多人甚至泪流满面。克里斯托弗同样也重新开始工作。很显然，他不可能再去扮演以前的角色了，于是转而执导。他的处女作影片《暮色如斯》证明创作灵感并没有离他而去。

虽然克里斯托弗很坚强，但也还是有不顺心的时候。事故后的一年里，他面临着血栓问题，后来又得了肺炎。有一天做理疗时，他摔在地上，折断了一条胳膊。

每天他都要与自身现实做斗争。“早晨，我需要20分钟去哭泣，”他对一个记者说。在梦中和儿子奔跑玩耍，梦醒之后他需要20分钟来“清醒和调整……”。

但擦干眼泪后，克里斯托弗总会悄声说：“好了，前进！”这些话证明，尽管他无法控制自己的身体，但仍拥有他的勇气，他的精神，他的内在力量。在这个意义上，他依旧是—也将永远是—超人！语言点LanguagePoints1.approval:
