As a witness to the Shanghai epidemic, what goodwill did you feel from strangers?

Because of the need of work, one day last year1February, I took my camera to the exotic stray animal rescue station. The rescue station is in a relatively remote village on the outskirts of Shanghai. I remember it was past five when I finished the interview that day.

It gets dark very early in Shanghai in late autumn. I was alone with a girl and went back the same way with my camera. I didn't see a figure along the way. It's terrible to think about it! Walking on a path with trees on both sides, my mind is full of horror movies, and I can't help but feel scared. I always hope someone can help me or accompany me. Halfway through the writing, I suddenly felt something was wrong, broken, and I seemed to be lost! At this time, I can't find the right direction when I look at navigation with my mobile phone. At this time, it was already dark, and my mobile phone still had 10% power. In the dead of night, plus a stranger, I couldn't ask for help through the only mobile phone that could help me, and I began to panic.

I happened to pass by a family. At that time, an old woman was sitting at the gate of her yard. She stepped forward quickly to ask the way. After listening to my words, she hurriedly said a lot of words, and the old woman turned and entered the yard. I thought she was looking for help from her family, but grandma took out a long cane and spoke a dialect I didn't quite understand. I told my grandmother in distress situation that there was no need to bring me sugar cane. Grandma understood what I meant, put down the cane, pointed me in the direction, looked puzzled, and finally dragged me along. At that moment, grandma seemed to be my relative. Following her closely, we walked almost 200 meters together and found that we could see the lights of the subway station when we turned the corner, which made us relieved. On arriving at the subway station, grandma turned around and went back. I shouted: thank you grandma! I wonder if she heard me. I only saw her waving behind me. Grandma and I only walked 200 meters. I was in a hurry and the light was dim. I didn't even see grandma's face clearly, but I really appreciate her giving me the courage to stop being afraid.
