the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as gordon. he said that although he couldnt give me a lift, i should come back to his house for lunch. he noticed me standing for hours in the november heat and thought i must be hungry. i was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使放心）me i was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. when we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. after lunch, he helped me find a lift home. twenty-five years later, in 2003, while i was driving to a nearby town one day, i saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. i thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour id been given decades earlier. i pulled over and picked him up. i made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water. after a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “you havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the
