"Give a rose, and your hand will have a lingering fragrance." This sentence tells us that while helping others, it doesn't mean that we have lost anything. We have gained something, and we have gained happiness. Therefore, when we help others, we must not only worry about the gains and losses of our own interests, but also consider how much influence your help will bring to others.

Helping others is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. As Chinese descendants, we have the obligation to carry it forward! When you lend a helping hand to others, others will ignite the flame of hope in their hearts. Some things may be trivial to ourselves, but they may be crucial to others.
