耳朵听不见，也可以打拳吗？

　　日本第一位女性听障职业拳击手小笠原惠子的双亲都是健听者，因此，两人从未想过自己的女儿会听不见。直到三岁，惠子依然无法说出完整的词句，妈妈终于面对现实带她去做精密检查。自此，惠子被确证为“听力障碍患者”。

　　也就是说，从小，惠子就与最亲近的人活在两个世界，从来不知道该如何与他人流畅地交流，又如何与世界恰当地互动。她顶着爆炸头孤独地跋涉过狂躁的青春期，在校园霸凌与暴力对抗中探索着自己的位置，以别人眼中异类的弱者形象生存于世。直到走入拳馆的那个意外瞬间。她怕痛、怕挨揍、怕丢脸，没有过人的天资，反倒怀抱缺陷。没有人能够明白，为什么连喝彩声都听不见的她，想成为职业拳手。

　　本书描绘了她如果度过人生的前三十年，如热血漫画一般，有心酸有亢奋，也有让人共情的软弱和泪水。这或许并非一则关于英雄成功的故事，反倒关于日常的失败与尊严，正如她所说：“我总是在逃避。我的胆小怕事在拳击里也依然保留得完好无损。可这世界上并不只有内心坚强的人，还有许多软弱的人。”

Can you fight if you can't hear?

Keiko Ogasawara, Japan's first female hearing-impaired professional boxer, was born to two deaf parents, so they never thought their daughter would be deaf. Until the age of three, Keiko was still unable to say complete words, and her mother finally faced the reality and took her to do a precise examination. Since then, Keiko has been confirmed as "hearing impaired".

In other words, since childhood, Keiko has lived in two worlds with the people closest to her, never knowing how to communicate fluently with others and how to properly interact with the world. She trudged through a manic adolescence alone with an afro on her head, exploring her place in the midst of bullying and violent confrontation at school, and surviving as an outlier and underdog. Until the unexpected moment he walked into the gym. She is afraid of pain, afraid of being beaten, afraid of losing face, and has no superior talent, but embrace defects. No one could understand why she wanted to become a professional fighter when she could not even hear the cheers.

The book depicts how she spent the first 30 years of her life, like a hot-blooded comic book, with heartbreak and excitement, but also with empathic weakness and tears. It may not be a story of heroic success, but of everyday failure and dignity, as she says: "I was always running away." My cowardice is still intact in boxing. But there are not only strong people in this world, there are many weak people."

Keiko Ogasawara (1979 -) is a former professional boxer who was affiliated with the TOKUHON Boxing Club. With congenital hearing impairment, she studied in an ordinary school in primary and junior high school, and learned sign language in senior high school of a deaf school.
