This is a story of a man who works in a big factory. He was a little bit strange, I think. A little bit short. A little bit dirty. He always wore an old red hat and he always carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime by walking around in that old big factory to collect the unused tins scattered around the place.

I have been following him for years and years, does not matter it is hot or cold. I followed him whenever he walks to his old pick-up car in a very cold weather when the snow fell down onto the earth.

I saw him there, with a lot of rubbish bags, which were full of tins. He threw them into the back of his car then he got into the car. After that, I got into my car as well and we were raced until we reached the exit door of this wide, empty parking area.

Today, 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 tins. My manager was standing there to watch me. He was worried about the delay caused by the machine that could affect the production in the factory.

When I finished my job, I heard my manager asked the “tin man” about what he was going to do with those tins that he had collected. I never even thought about this kind of question, because I always had an assumption that this “tin man” would destroy those tins in the recycled place.

Unexpectedly, this “tin man” answered, “I will give these tins to my neighbor; he had epilepsy（癫痫）and he can not work. ”

I was so shocked to hear that, so I asked him, “You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?”

“I know this does not help much”, he said. “But I give everything to him, because he can not work. He has a lot of weaknesses. ”

Right in that factory, I found myself slapped in front of Jesus. This “tin man” who only wore a T-shirt and an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag, which were full of tins, has made an evident (显然) of Christ.

It was the most beautiful moment in my life, which had made me humble (谦恭的) every day in my lifetime.

“Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
