Simon has been so different from the day he was born, because he is so small, even smaller than a pair of little birds, which is a pity. The doctor predicted that he was in danger, but Simon survived miraculously, and grew up day by day, becoming a cute little boy. Because of this opportunity, Simon believes that this is a blessing bestowed on him by God, and believes that God will definitely give his life a special meaning and task.
When Simon Birch was born, his body was not as big as the fist of an adult man. The doctor predicted that he would not survive the first night, but he survived; the doctor predicted that he would not survive a week, but he lived until the age of 12. Simon has always believed that God must have a special purpose in keeping him alive. Simon's friend Joe had never met his biological father, and his mother had never told him. This question became Joe's biggest knot. To make matters worse, Simon hit a bad ball in a children's baseball league, accidentally wounding Joe's mother to death. It seems that Joe's heart knot will never be solved. But Simon was determined to become Joe's hero and find his biological father. When the two finally fulfilled their wish, Simon's life came to an end. The tombstone read: Simon Birch, 1952-1964.
