background information

Michael Kennedy crashed into a tree and died.

On the last night of the year, Michael Kennedy hit a tree and died. His life has both good work performance and reckless bad behavior. His early death on the mountain raised an old question: Why do tragedies always attack the Kennedy family so frequently?

"Ski football" is a long-standing pastime of the Kennedy family. This sport is dangerous. The ski patrol issued a warning but tolerated the family's carnival. Ignoring danger and calling it fun is an indispensable part of the Kennedy children's growth.

The Kennedys are all excellent skiers, but no one can compare with Michael, the fourth son of the late Robert F. Kennedy. However, the hillside was slippery that night, and it was difficult to see the scattered ice in the dark and poor light. Skiers must have a quick mind. According to the rules of the game, when two teams rush to the goal under the slope (usually the post indicating the route), the ball holder must pass the ball to his teammates within ten seconds, otherwise the ball will be lost.

Give it to another team. Michael got the ball halfway up the mountain. He turned around and cheered, "Great". When he was distracted, he bumped into a fir tree. His sister Lori slid over and knelt beside him. "Oh, my God," she cried, "he has no pulse." She bent down to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but it was impossible to save her brother's life. Michael's skull was broken and his spine was broken.

When most Americans hear that Bobby's son, the unfortunate Michael, died in a skiing accident on New Year's Eve, they may feel a disaster hanging over the Kennedy family. The pictures on TV remind people of the past tragedies of the Kennedy family: the bodies parked on the plane, the sad Kennedy family walking on the beach in Hyannis Harbor, and a promising young man's life is dying. And this gives people a feeling of family decline, because

Because the young man died not with a bang-neither in battle nor in the presidential election-but because he was too close to the tree when skiing. As far as the Kennedy family is concerned, family football is regarded as a symbol of vitality, not a cause of unnecessary death.

For everyone in the Kennedy family, the pressure of being outstanding and being considered outstanding is relentless. This curse can be traced back to when Michael's grandfather, Old Joe, began to plan to make his young children politically famous. No wonder the atmosphere of winning at all costs makes the Kennedy family willing to take risks whether they are advancing or rebelling. In World War II, when the young Jack Kennedy's torpedo boat was sunk by a Japanese destroyer and returned home triumphantly from the Pacific Ocean as a hero, Xiao Qiao was determined to catch up with his younger brother. He volunteered to fly a plane full of explosives to bomb a Nazi missile base. The plane exploded in mid-air in the English Channel, and Xiao Qiao didn't have time to jump out. Kathleen, the most attractive daughter of the Kennedy family, forced the pilot to fly in a storm with her lover in 1948 and died in a plane crash in France.

Besides, Robert Kennedy asked his children to have the courage to follow his example, and they must do so. Bobby quoted Aeschylus's poem: "People are not born to sit in the comfort zone. The whole meaning of life lies in an adventurous life. " ("Men are not born for a safe haven. The enrichment of life lies in the danger of life. " ) The game competition is a test of character.

Michael is indeed a much better skier than his father, but he also likes adventure. Michael is an expert in canoeing across rapids. I almost died when I jumped from a 75-foot cliff into the Snake River in Wyoming. When he grows up, he likes to play that kind of bold game with his brothers and cousins. "See who can climb to the highest and who dares to dive from the highest cliff." One of his cousins, stephen smith Jr. (son of Jane Kennedy Smith) said. The winner is usually Michael. Skiing football is actually one of his common sports hobbies. When he ran into a fir tree in Aspen Mountain, he was teaching his children that the skiing competition was recorded by one of his children. According to some witnesses, this child is Michael's youngest child-ten-year-old Laurie.

Michael Kennedy was only ten years old when his father was assassinated in 1968. Like all Kennedy's children, he grew up in an environment full of myths and legends. Hickory Hill is Robert Kennedy's home and devoted to the work of the Kennedy family. I took photos of the temple when I was playing. All children know to respect their father, but no one has studied his father in depth and detail like Michael. In the mid-1970s, as a Harvard student, Michael actually majored in his father's life and times. What he admires most is his father's courage.

Michael likes to play all the sports that his father likes. If possible, he can play better and be more energetic. Like his father, he likes reciting poems. He started a non-profit company to provide heating oil for the unfortunate poor, which he thought was a continuation of his father's unfinished business. He also wants to be a shrewd political broker like his father. From 65438 to 0994, he presided over his uncle Ted's re-election campaign. His photos were often reported at that time. In the photo, he stood under the cover of a framed Time magazine. The magazine reported how his father successfully planned the White House for John F. Kennedy in 1960.

But while imitating his father almost blindly, he was afraid that he was not as good as his father. This uneasy mood conflicts with another more uneasy mood, that is, people always regard him as their father's son.

Obviously, this pressure is too great. Michael began to show the little-known qualities of the Kennedy family, such as pursuing illegal sex and drinking. He started sleeping with the children's nanny.

The couple were finally caught by his wife Victoria-it is said that they were caught in bed. Michael passed the buck and said he was drunk. 1February, 1995, he was sent to an alcohol rehabilitation center (after the accident last week, the blood test showed no alcohol or drugs). 199665438+February, he also began to treat good sex. His willingness to receive treatment distinguishes him from the previous generation who despised psychotherapy. In the past, newspapers and the media might have ignored him. But last April, The Boston Globe exposed Michael's extramarital affairs. His wife Victoria, who has been married for 16 years, left home with three children.

Michael became very depressed, which made his friends and his separated wife worry that he might never pull himself together. He felt lonely and left out by his family because he felt they were ashamed of him. Some of his brothers and sisters made no secret of their anger at his misconduct. However, his mother Ethel still treated him as always.

When Robert F. Kennedy fell into despair because of his brother's death, he came back to life by traveling abroad. He was regarded as a hero by the poor in South America and the oppressed people in Eastern Europe, and as a hope for the future, and was warmly welcomed by them. Michael also began to look for the devout followers of the "Kennedy myth". Last February, he went to Ecuador to arrange loans for women-run enterprises. Before that, he had been to Angola, where he helped set up a university.

However, after returning to China, people often mentioned his shortcomings. Motorcyclists often stop him for questioning on his way to work, and tabloids (which specialize in sensational news) will not let him go.

In the past year, the Kennedy family has gone all out to show that most family members are doing good deeds-and staying out of trouble.

However, it was this tragedy that brought them together again in full view. Last week, when they gathered in Hyannis Port for an Irish farewell ceremony, someone hung sheets on the porch so that the camera could not take pictures, but they were stopped outside. The news media had to use the broadcast time to tell the story of the family's past disasters again.

Sir Joseph Kennedy was the head of this family in his early years, and he was able to protect his sons. But today, under the eyes of the public, his grandchildren have become the prey of popular newspapers specializing in sensational news. Michael, who died at the age of 39, wants people to remember his good deeds-providing heating for the homeless poor and lobbying to limit the spread of pistols. But he almost certainly said that people will remember his affair with a teenage nanny more clearly, which may be unfair.

After the funeral, the whole family hugged and cried outside the church, and most of the black choir came out and sang hymns to the hearse where Michael's coffin was placed. This song is full of words of hope and atonement, but almost no one can hear it, because a helicopter for photography is hovering in the sky. Michael's body was later transported to the family cemetery in Brookline and buried next to his grandparents and David's brother. His family buried his beloved football and a big medal that marked his three-year self-discipline.
