I am glad to report that I was sprung by old one eye guy today. I was worried because I hadn't seen him since the cold weather had set in and began to fear the worst.
But I am happy to say that as I was approaching Huahai Road this morning, he sprung out from behind some bushes like a pouncing tiger with his bowl and shoved it firmly into my chest.
After overcoming my shock of the ambush, I felt a wave of relief - `its only old one guy'.
Being happy to see that he was alive and well, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a 10RMB note and popped it into his bowl. You should have seen his face! His eye lit up like a full moon and his toothless grin was huge. He mumbled something like hao hao (good good). We had a smile to each other and we both headed our seperate ways with both of us feeling pretty good. He will eat well today and I feel good to have done something (as small as it may be) to make someones life a bit more comfortable.
