Location: Mall

With: Old Folks and siblings

Scene: Escalator

An old helpless man with shabby clothes was trying to figure out how to use escalator. Your heart could bleed just by looking at him.
We stood there watching people pushing him aside, 1, 2 ,3 4, 5… people pass him by. No one bothered
to help him, when suddenly this man took the old man’s arm and put it on his shoulder and guided him and asked the old man ” Are you alone?”
OLd man: “YEs. My wife is waiting outside. But I don’t know how to use this.”
The man guided him to escalator going down… at the foot of escalator, the man asked the security guard
to help the old man  find his wife. He gave the old man money.
Old man: ” God bless you”

Who helped the old man?  My dad.

Of all the people …. my dad, who has a superior appearance, intimidating and proud look… whom we call “Hitler”…

ironic…
