[00:03.78]A donation box with a heart—the symbol of love—
[00:09.66]is surrounded by men and women, old and young,
[00:13.03]who put money into the box
[00:15.11]and say their help is insignificant.
[00:17.36]This picture, as far as I can see,
[00:19.73]aims to call on every member in the society
[00:22.35]to contribute their aids to those who are in need.
[00:25.62]The scene depicted in the above picture reminds me
[00:29.23]of what happened to us. When the catastrophic earthquake
[00:33.45] occurred in Sichuan, millions of people at home and abroad,
[00:37.08]responded to it immediately by donating money
[00:40.12]or goods to the victims in the stricken area.
[00:42.79]Some of them contributed almost all their savings,
[00:46.32]even though they themselves find it hard
[00:49.19]to make ends meet. As a matter of fact,
[00:52.01]love cannot be measured by the amount of donations:
[00:55.06]a cent is as precious as a million.
[00:58.43]Whatever we offer, be it money or goods,
[01:01.67]or volunteer work, it is a token of love,
[01:04.32]which will save a life, or encourage one
[01:07.32]to face up to the misfortunes.
[01:09.06]If everyone is always ready to give a helping hand
[01:12.71]to those who are in trouble,
[01:14.00]we will overcome all the obstacles,
[01:17.10]no matter how arduous they are.
[01:19.45]Because any major difficulty one confronts
[01:22.37]becomes minor when divided by two. |
