One day in 1984, it was reported that many people in Africa died from famine (饥饿) on TV. Many people in England were surprised at it.
A musician called Bob Geldof was one of them and he wanted to help those people.

This is a story of a man who works in a big factory. He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime
8
walking around in that old big factory and collecting used tins (锡罐).
One day, I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this “tin man” came with his bag. As usual, he picked up the tin beside me. My manager was standing there watching me.
When I finished my job, I heard my manager ask the “tin man” about what he was going to do with those tins. I never even thought about this kind of question, because I always thought that “tin man” would take those tins to the recycling (回收) centre.
To my surprise, “tin man” answered: “I will give these tins to my neighbour. He has eye problems and cannot work.”
I was so shocked to hear that, so I asked him: “You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbour?”
“Yes, this isn’t much help,” he said. “He can sell them for only a little money, but I can talk with him when I give him the cans. And this makes both of us feel better.”
It was the most beautiful moment in my life. It has made me feel humble (谦卑的) every day since then.
