The book

一步一脚印

One Step
at a Time.

A true account of surviving stroke and learning to rebuild life one step at a time.

Why Kevin wrote it

A companion for the difficult days.

After my stroke, I began to understand that recovery was about much more than my body.

There was fear. There was uncertainty. And there were days when I wondered how I was going to keep going.

This book is simply the story of that journey.

I write about what I went through, what I learned, what I became grateful for, and how my family walked through it with me.

I am not a doctor, and this is not a book about how to treat stroke.

I simply hope that if you are going through recovery now, or walking beside someone who is, my story can keep you a little company along the way.

Chinese and English editions

The book is available in both Chinese and English. Choose whichever language you are more comfortable reading.

You can read it together.

You can read this book for yourself. You can also read it with a family member who is going through recovery. And if someone you care about has had a stroke and you are not quite sure what to say, you may simply want to give them this book.

Sometimes we really do not know what to say.

I have walked this road myself. So if my story can keep someone company for even a small part of their journey, then this book has already meant something.

Readers review

What readers have
told me…

Finally took some time to read Kevin’s book! I have so much respect for what he went through. Having watched and supported him through the hard times, kudos to both Kit and Kevin!!! I really enjoyed reading the book—it was very well written. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I had a dog named Happy too, and that part was very touching 😍 I hope the book will help many other patients. It also reminded me that we need to make our health a top priority. 🫶

After reading 《一步一脚印》, I felt deeply moved. Not the kind of “touching” feeling, but the kind that leaves you quiet, with tears in your eyes. You wrote so truthfully; every part seemed to say, “I really went through this.” I felt your pain, and I also felt the strength that kept you from giving up. When I met you later, I admired you even more. You have been through so much, yet you have not become bitter. Instead, you have become gentler and more steadfast. You are one of the warmest and strongest people I know. Thank you for writing down your wounds and allowing them to become hope for others. Every step you have walked is strength for the rest of us to keep moving.

What moved me most was the part in the book about Kevin’s benefactor. She came only once, but her patience, and the way she encouraged Kevin to walk again—giving him confidence as he walked—really stayed with me. It reminded me of my work in education. Sometimes we also have to find ways to help students regain confidence in learning. Whenever I feel hopeless, I think of this part and use it to encourage myself and my students. Every moment, I have to tell myself and my students: we can do it, we can do it, just like in the book.

When I was reading 《一步一脚印》, one part touched me especially: “When you are willing to accept yourself as you are, stop resisting fate, and give yourself fully to recovery, you are already on the road to getting better.” I read this sentence again and again. Compared with people who remain caught in “Why me?”, the “you” in the book did not stay trapped in resentment. Instead, you chose to step out of the mud of those emotions and move forward, one step at a time, through action. It gave me a sense of quiet strength and made me reflect on myself.

To recover from a stroke in such a short time is truly admirable. Especially when you were at the height of your life—family and career going well—and then suddenly fell, that sense of frustration must have been stronger than for most people. But you have so many people who love you, and who stayed beside you and supported you through this difficult journey. That is a real blessing. Although a stroke is unfortunate, you are not alone, and you have been able to afford the costs of recovery. That too is a blessing. Behind your recovery, I personally think 80% is due to your own determination not to give up and to persist to the end, and the other 20% is from the people around you who supported you.

Small steps still matter. A difficult chapter does not have to be the final chapter.
