Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. However, I was not thinking about the golden chain when I had to help people who   36   their way and parked in front of my house.

I was growing tired of helping so many people. Almost every   37   I was awaken during a sound night’s sleep and had to   38   someone out. Many times I was   39   by some penniless motorists who did not even thank me for the helps that they received and some even complained that I could have done   40  .

One day, a young man with a week – old beard climbed out of a   41   automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some   42  , offer him gasoline and a meal. I told him that if he wanted to work for me, he could cut the grass, but   43   the work wasn’t necessary.

Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard. After working all day, he sat   44  to cool himself. I thanked him for his work and gave him the money he   45  . I then offered him some   46  money for a task particularly well done, but he shook his head,   47  .

I never saw him again. He probably thinks I helped him out that day, but that is not   48   it was. I didn’t help him. He helped me to   49   people again to repay their trust in me. He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are   50  . I wish I could thank him for   51  some of my belief in the basic   52   of others and for giving me back a little of the   53   I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that   54   us to others.

The Lantern Festival first evolved along the banks of the Yellow River during the peak of freezing winter conditions. The celebration held on the night of the first full noon of the lunar new year is often referred to as the “Little New Year”.

The festival’s origin has been argued by historians. Some say the festival was set up in relation to New Year Buddhist ceremonies. Lanterns were used to praise Buddha and request his protection for the coming year. However, Taoists insist that the Martial Emperor Wu Ti (141 B.C.~86 B.C.) began the festival a century earlier in an effort to gain eternal life.

In the huge courtyard of his palace, he ordered lanterns to be hung on the night of the first full moon until the entire courtyard was lit as bright as the day.

After a Chinese eunuch (太監(jiān)) invented paper in 105 A.D., people of all classes began to enjoy the beauty of inexpensive paper lanterns. Today, the lantern has experienced further revolution and paper has been replaced by plastic animated characters lit by battery operated light bulbs. In Taiwan, this development has extended to the creation of extravagant, enormous and highly technical lanterns representing the zodiac animals. Even still, many of the old ways remain mixed with the new.
