Each day I took the same route to work and passed by a security guard (保安）. 35 greeted everyone walking by and made small talk with many of the passers-by and wishing them well. His simple “hello” made people feel 36 . His cheerful smile became a part of my day. When he was absent, many people noticed it, and I felt a little bit empty.
The first few times, I didn’t say hello back to him when he greeted me. I was 37 in my own world.

As I walked away, I realized I did not even know his name. The following day, on my way to work, I said: “After we spent all that time 42 yesterday, I still don’t know your name.” He answered, “Gary.” I responded back, “I’m Deborah.”
After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families.
Later, Gary got 43 a new job and moved away. It’s been several years since I last spoke to him, yet the memory feels like yesterday. Gary reached out to me, 44 me and made my morning the best part of the day. I experienced the beauty of friendship and love.
In the business of life, we often forget to wish a stranger hello although how easy it is, and how great and lasting a 45 it can make.
