kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They dont get to see this soft side of others.Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning(按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to the other drivers，“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood.Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often，it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when were scared.1The author has discovered

all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.The guests can watch shows like comedies，group dance and acrobatics.The shows centerpiece，a funny performance of Swan Lake，sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little swans.“The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed.I had never worn a skirt like that before.But later，once I got used to it，I found I could do it very well，”said Chen Ruan,21，from Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.For many of the employees，the park offers a rare opportunity to find work.As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake，they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences.In addition，the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs.Besides，performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month，around twice the salary of a high school graduate.The founder of the park，Chen Ming，made his fortune by producing electronics and investing，but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community.People，like human right activists for the
