I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by the beach for lunch. When we arrived, I saw JoJo, a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted(打断） by a stranger, who politely asked to speak to me alone.

　 We stood a bit away from my table. Usually, people who asked to talk to mp told me their

opinions on the shows I hosted. But he was different. He said, “I'm James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK, she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

I looked into the man's eyes, which were filled with tears. Then I went to sir back at the table. JoJo asked, "What's wrong? Your face changed." I told him why.

I thought of James and his daughter all the weekend. I even thought of doing a special TV show to collect money for the sick girl. On Monday morning, I was at the office when JoJo walked in, which was surprising because JoJo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studios.

With a check book in hand, he said, "Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treatment. I've been married for 35 years, but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child." I called James.

The daughter is living a normal life now and JoJo visits her sometimes. I'm so happy that there're so many good people in this world.
