Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, 1 unusual night has a different meaning: helping beggars and the homeless.
Cai, 2 is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. 3 she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, 4 (give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.
The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “ 5 the first time I feel respected”.
