The subway train moved back and forth, its wheels producing more loud sounds than ever against the tracks. Outside the window was just the
21 cold of winter. The carriage was filled with frozen self-centered, bored
22 .
Suddenly a little boy
23 his way in between grown-up legs.
24 his father stayed by the door, the boy sat next to the window, surrounded by
25 , half-awake adults. What a brave child, I thought. As the train entered a tunnel (隧洞), something totally
26 happened. The little boy slid down from his seat and put his
27 on my knee. For a moment, I thought that he wanted to go
28 me and returned to his father, so I moved a bit. But instead of moving on, the boy held his
29 up towards me. He wanted to tell me something, I thought. I
30 to listen to what he had to say. Wrong
31 ! He kissed me softly on the cheek.
Then he returned to his
32 , settled down and cheerfully started looking out of the window. But I was
33. What happened? A kid kissing an unknown grown-up on the train? To my amazement, the kid
34 to kiss all my neighbors.
Nervous and puzzled, we looked questioningly at his father. “He’s so happy to be
35 .” the father said. “He’s been very sick.”
The train stopped and the father and son got down and
36 into the crowd. The doors closed. On my cheek I could still
37 the child’s kiss -- a kiss that had caused
38 soul-searching. How many grown-ups go around kissing each other
39 the joy of being alive? How many even give much thought to the privilege of living? What would happen
40 we all just started being ourselves?
The little boy has given us a sweet but serious lesson: Don’t let yourself die before your heart
stops!
