My name is Wang Xiaoming, and I am an ordinary migrant worker. My cousin Jack Ma and I grew up together, but for some reason ran away from home, and we didn't have contact for many years. I now work in a small company and my life is dull and tight.
After working overtime on Friday night, I walked out of the office gate, thinking about going home and resting. When I passed the entrance of the community, I saw a middle-aged man in rags squatting there asking for food. I was lamenting the cruelty of reality, when the man suddenly looked up, and I was stunned - he turned out to be my cousin Jack Ma!
Ma Yun saw that I also widened his eyes, stumbled to stand up, and muttered in his mouth: "Xiaoming? Is it really you? I looked at him carefully, and although Jack Ma had lost a lot of weight and his face was full of dust, it was indeed what he remembered.
I excitedly stepped forward and hugged him: "Cousin, it's really you!" I've been looking for you for so many years! ”
Ma Yun showed a complicated expression on his face, and he nodded and said, "It's me, Xiaoming, I'm back." ”
Looking at his pitiful appearance alone, an urge rose in my heart to help him. So I said, "Cousin, you look tired, do you want to go back to my house and sit?" I'll cook you a bowl of noodles and we'll catch up! ”
Ma accepted my kindness.
When I arrived at my den, Ma Yun looked very moved, and he said to himself, "Hey, Xiao Ming is doing well now." I smiled and said, "Cousin, don't make fun of me, I'm just an ordinary rental house here." Please sit down, I'll give you a hot bowl of noodles! ”
Ma Yun smiled coyly and sat down at the table. I immediately got up and boiled a basin of hot water, then took out two bowls and two sets of chopsticks from the cupboard. Ma Yun looked at my back and asked softly, "Xiaoming, do you live here alone?" ”
I turned around and said, "Yes, I live alone, and I usually come back from work to rest." Ma Yun nodded, his eyes revealing a trace of loneliness.
I quickly cooked two bowls of hot beef noodles, put green cabbage leaves, and drizzled with some sauce, which was fragrant. I brought the noodle bowl to Jack Ma and said with a smile: "Cousin, try my craft." ”
Ma Yun unceremoniously took a few bites of noodles, and seeing that he had eaten and drunk the soup, I couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, how have you been outside all these years?" ”
Ma Yun put down his chopsticks and let out a long sigh.
Ma Yun put down his chopsticks, let out a long sigh, and said, "Xiaoming, I have had a hard time all these years. I left home and have been wandering around to do short-term work. Unfortunately, I was strapped for cash, not good at socializing, and it was difficult to find a job. In addition, I encountered many scammers, and I was tricked into going to fake factories several times, and once I was seriously injured at a construction site. Speaking of this, Ma Yun couldn't help but wipe the corner of his eye.
When I saw my cousin like this, I felt very uncomfortable. He continued: "Just last month, I finally ran out of all my savings and had nothing left. I didn't want to go home for help, so I wandered around the city asking for food. It's really my luck to meet you today, Bob. ”
After listening to what happened to Jack Ma, my mood could not be calmed for a long time. Thinking of my cousin's hard life in the past few years, I can't help but blush. After a long time, I asked softly: "Cousin, stay with me tonight, although it is simple, it is better than the street." You rest your feet and tone your body. ”
Ma Yun readily agreed. After dinner, I made room for Ma Yun to sleep in, so I made a temporary bunk myself. In the middle of the night, I vaguely heard Jack Ma whispering in his dream, "I'm sorry..." Mom, I'm back" words can't help but feel infinite pity for his difficult fate.
Early the next morning, Jack Ma got up and took the initiative to clean my room. He said that he could not live in my house for nothing, and that he had to do what he could to express his gratitude. I looked at Jack Ma's thin back and was silent.
Before leaving, Ma Yun thanked me again for my help, saying that he finally saw hope. I stubbornly wanted to send him some money, but Ma Yun refused to accept it. "Xiaoming, thank you for giving me warmth, this is already the luckiest thing in my life." Ma Yun said.
A month later, I came home from work and saw Jack Ma again at the gate of the community! Only this time, he was dressed gorgeously, wearing a gold watch on his hand, and he looked successful and confident. I looked at him in surprise, Ma Yun laughed, came over and gave me a high five: "Xiaoming, you don't recognize me!" I'm Ma now! ”
"Mr. Ma? Cousin, what's going on with you? "I'm confused.
Ma Yun smiled and said, "Let me take my time." After leaving your house last time, I was depressed for a long time and suddenly figured out - I can't just give up on myself! So I used the knowledge and experience I had accumulated in the past to write a business plan and find investors to start a business. Now the company has developed well, and I have entered the peak of my life! ”
I was surprised and delighted to hear that Jack Ma had achieved success overnight. "Oh my God, cousin, you made it! I'm so happy! I said happily.
Ma Yun nodded and looked grateful: "All of this is thanks to you, Xiaoming." Last time you gave me warmth and encouragement, I regained my strength and found meaning in life. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now. ”
I listened to Jack Ma's words, and my heart was mixed. The reunion a month ago showed me the power of kindness in life, and I think everyone needs this encouragement to rekindle hope...
Jack Ma's success story has had a profound impact on me. A month ago, he was a dispossessed and isolated loser: a month later, he was a business upstart. This made me deeply realize that any little kindness in life can change a person's destiny and ignite the fire in a person's heart.
I began to reflect on my past ways. In the face of difficulties in life, have I ever empathized with their experiences and given them encouragement? Or do you stand idly by and justify your indifference with // the injustice of this world? Jack Ma's experience reminded me that the power of kindness is so great that it can warm people's hearts and even turn a person's life around.
"Xiaoming, cherish the people around you." Ma Yun said, "Sometimes, a sincere word of encouragement can change a person's destiny. ”
I nodded and fell silent. Indeed, I think of my parents, friends, and colleagues. Their lives are not easy, how much help and support have I given them? My parents have worked for me all my life, is there a gap between my return and their expectations? Do I give honest advice to my friends at critical times? Have I done my best to help a colleague in difficulty? All kinds of questions came to my mind, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Xiaoming, go and help everyone around you who needs help." Jack Ma patted me on the shoulder, "Helping others is fun, you will find the meaning of life." ”
I know Jack Ma is right. I can't change the world, but I can infect those around me with my kindness. That's what life is all about, isn't it?
However, just when I thought that Jack Ma had successfully changed his destiny, an amazing truth appeared-
One day at a company party, I overheard an employee say, "Jack Ma's company is a scam." Shocked, I immediately went online and found that the company that Jack Ma said did not exist, and that his story of defrauding investment was pure fabrication.
It turned out that Jack Ma deceived me of my kindness. He made up those moving stories just to take advantage of my sympathy again. I remembered the look of excitement he looked when he left a month ago, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for my innocence. The world is inherently cruel, and I naively believe that kindness can change destiny.
However, after this blow, I did not lose my trust in human nature, but became more determined to remain kind. Because I know that my original kindness came from the heart, not because of Jack Ma's lies. I will not deny my own good deeds through the fault of an individual. Maybe that's the meaning of life, isn't it?
Yes, although Jack Ma's story is made up, my kindness is real. It comes from the compassion in my heart, and that kindness is precious in itself. I will not lose my love for strangers because of the deception of others. On the contrary, I will continue to face life with a positive heart and do my best to help everyone in need.
Because, that's what life is all about. Isn't it?
Jack Ma's change made me unable to calm down for a long time, and I repeatedly thought about the relationship between life and kindness.
Perhaps, the meaning of life is not in the result, but in the process. As we grow up, we encounter countless setbacks and betrayals, but this cannot shake our goodwill and justice as human beings. The important thing is to stick to oneself and not be changed by the outside world to change the good nature of the heart.
I'd rather be deceived than lose trust in humanity. A kind person should look at the weakness of others with tolerance and understanding. No one is perfect, we will all be on the road. But going off the road doesn't mean you're lost. It's important to remind yourself that you've deviated from your heart and then adjust your pace.
So, I decided to forgive Jack Ma for his lies. Because I know that he is also a disoriented, fragile person. Maybe the original reunion really touched him to some extent, but he didn't get on the right track in the end. I will not deny the change brought about by kindness, after all, life affects life, this is undeniable.
We all dream of heroism, but we don't know that goodwill in the ordinary is the chemical changer of life. As an ordinary person, I am the one who can truly change the world - infect others through a little kindness, and let the positive energy accumulate like a snowball. It may be trivial, but it's within my reach.
So, I started again. Let go of the disappointment in Jack Ma, but do not give up the pursuit of kindness. I will continue to strive to be a positive and helpful person. Do my best to help, understand, and encourage everyone around me who needs help – not for results, just for peace of mind.
I also began to reflect on my life.
It also made me reflect on my life.
Looking back, I was a very autistic person. After work, I devote myself to the workplace, busy completing various tasks, but rarely care about the people around me. I'm not good at interacting with people, and I don't often take the initiative to take care of other people's feelings. My family's dissatisfaction with me, I always choose to avoid, and then bury myself in more work to escape interpersonal troubles.
But after seeing Jack Ma, I realized that if a person only focuses on himself, his life is too lonely and empty. We live in the world, and we should care for and encourage each other, so that life is rich and meaningful. A selfish person, no matter how much wealth he gains, will not be happy in the end.
I want to be a person who cares more about the people around me. A person who will take the initiative to greet colleagues about their recent well-being, will often go home to see their parents, and will spend time with friends to talk about their troubles. I will put myself in the shoes of others and see more of the efforts and hardships of those around me. I will learn to understand every life and not simply be self-centered.
In this way, my life will be enriched by caring for others: and my life will be complete by understanding others. It takes time and effort, but step by step I will learn to care for the people around me - through the small things of daily life, shush and ask for warmth, listen more and blame less.
What has happened in the past year has made me see clearly what is the meaning of life. We came into this world to help and love each other. This is the nature of man and the meaning of life. Instead of simply chasing success, and then lonely at the apex.
When I change myself and infect those around me with kindness, I can change the world. It's something I can do as an ordinary person, isn't it?
I would also like to thank Jack Ma, whose presence gave me these realizations. It was an unexpected gift from him. I sincerely hope that Jack Ma can also find his own meaning in life.
So, I decided to continue living with a positive and optimistic attitude. Strive to be a person who knows how to care for others and understand the meaning of life. It takes time and effort, but I will practice step by step and infect the people around me -
Because, that's what life is all about.
