On my walk home one night, I saw a man lying on the floor. One or two people noticed him, but walked on by. I stopped and spoke to him. He mumbled (含糊地说)some words I couldn’t make out. From his breath it was obvious he’d been drinking.

I kept trying to speak to him until I got his address—a number and a road name that I recognized. It was only a ten minutes walk from here. Part of me wanted to help, but there’s also fear arising. He was much bigger than me. In the end I decided to go for it. I helped him up, he held onto my shoulders and arm, and we struggled to his home.

The walk took about 40 minutes instead of the 10. Throughout that walk, I felt a constant worry. Was the address he gave me a genuine one? Did he want to lead me into a trap where a gang of them might then rob me?

Halfway to his home, he stopped, took out his phone and then handed it to me. I asked him why he was doing that, and he said, “to test your loyalty.”

That moment struck me. All this time I was worried about what he might do to me. And it meant I wasn’t in his shoes understanding what he was feeling. He was likely feeling the same anxiety. Would this random person try to rob me? Could I trust him to lead me home? What if he hurt me?

So when he turned around and handed me his phone as a sign of trust. I felt touched and honored at this act of courage.

We walked the rest of the way to his home. When we got close, I noticed he recognized his home. Sure enough, it was the door number he told me. I felt a sense of relief. I was so glad that we made it home. More than anything else I was able to be in his position, experiencing his fear and understanding his same anxiety. That was a lesson I would carry over my life.
