A vagrant in winter's wind
Yesterday, when I passed by a street I found a vagrant sitting on a plastic bag at a wall. I could only saw his dirty hair and ragged clothes cause he put his head in his arms, seems he was sleeping or thinking. There had no a box or a bowl behind him. I thought he should not a begger. In China, this days, there are more and more cheats who pretend beggers with living a rich life. I usually walk away from them. But this man was real in need, and his pose made me sad. I took out ten yuan RMB. When I said:"Little brother, this is for you", he put up his head. I saw a pair of blank eyes and a yound face. "Thank you." He took the money and then put his head in his arms again. I wanted to say something to him but said nothing at his hair.
Then I went away. All day I was thinking of him. Where was he from? And why did he come here in bad situations? Maybe he could find help from government, and why he did not go to the relief station for help?
It was cold in winter. At night it was only 5 degrees celsius outdoor in Chendu City. How could he get through the cold night? Hope he is OK and go home at last.
