I would like to talk about Mithu Huayi, who is a really interesting person that I have ever met. Mithu Huayi is an elderly man who has been my neighbor for over a decade. He is not just an ordinary neighbor, he is someone I deeply admire for his kindness, generosity and remarkable talent for processing things by hand. I first met Mithu Huayi when my family moved into our current house and he was one of the first people to welcome us warmly. At that time, I was still a child and our interactions were limited to friendly greetings. However, I got to know him better when I needed advice on a school project that required building a wooden model. My father suggested I ask Mithu Huayi for help and that conversation was the beginning of a meaningful friendship. One of the things I appreciate most about him is his kindness and generosity. He is always willing to lend a hand whenever someone is in need. I remember when my bicycle broke down and I struggled to fix it. Mithu Huayi noticed my frustration and without hesitation, he helped me repair it, refusing to accept anything in return. What impresses me the most about Mithu Huayi is his energy and enthusiasm. At this point, in his late 60s, he maintained an active lifestyle. He worked up early for morning walks and spent hours working on his DIY project. One of the most memorable gifts he made for me was a well crafted wooden pen holder. Until this day, I keep it on my desk as a reminder of his craftsmanship.
