Born in a mountain village in Anhui province, Chen Zuobin walked out of the3 for study when he was 19. Though he had a4life as a creative director of an international agency in Shanghai, he couldn't5the anxiety appearing in his dreams. "I6about countless branch roads several times a year, I didn't know which one leads to7. It made me feel terrible." One day, Chen Zuobin woke up and said to his wife," I want to go home."8being surprised, his wife said, "9your heart. Don't worry about me. "

Only in the mountains can they enjoy the13air. There isn't the smell of tail gas, but the smell of14when it shines over the woods. They live a life of "eating healthily and15well."

    Those dreams about branch roads have 20 because he has found his own path.

    When Mrs Green asked us to discover our professions(职业), the whole class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1. "Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2. Each of you will have to 3 someone in your field and give an oral report."

    Each day in her class, Mrs Green talked about this. Finally, I picked print journalism(新闻业). This 4 I had to go to interview a true newspaper reporter. I was nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said, "Did you bring a pencil or pen?"

    I shook my head.

    "How about some 6?"

    I shook my head again.

    Finally, I thought he 7 I was nervous, and I got my first big tip as a 8:"Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into." After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from9in class. I got an A on the project.

It gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14.

    For the past 12 years, I've had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from Olympic Games to car accidents and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible（令人难以置信的）wave of memories hit me and I realized that 18 Mrs Green I was able to be sitting at that desk.

One sunny afternoon in the park, I witnessed a remarkable scene. An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind- hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.

Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.

After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.

I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.

This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.

Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.
