1 . My name is Philippe and my wife’s name is Sophie. Recently we were faced with a difficult situation while travelling by car in the mountains. It was a long ride and we were tired. Just as we wanted to rest for a short time, the engine（发动机）made a strange, loud noise and then stopped working.

The sun was just setting and the air was getting cooler. We were in a place far away, with no houses in sight. We started to hear the cries of wild animals, so Sophie was nervous. We didn’t have much food and it was getting colder, and darker.

A couple of hours passed. Suddenly, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A stranger got out of the car. He looked unfriendly at first, until his mouth opened with a wide, friendly smile. He asked us to get into the car with him. He had such a kind face, and we knew we could count on him.

He drove us to a village, where his cousin lived. His cousin offered us tea and local foods. Everyone was excited to have unexpected guests. Later that evening, when we prepared to leave and thanked our new friends, I couldn’t believe the reply from the cousin: “No, we thank you for coming into our home.”

I will never forget the kindness we received on that day because we turned to a complete stranger for help.

3 . Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub (酒馆) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars (乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes).   

Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves (手套).

That’s why I want to help them.” Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday,visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.   “I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”
