Last Saturday, Du Juan came to a park with her red chair and tools as usual. She put a sign saying " 21 Haircuts" on the ground. Then a man, about 60 years old, came and sat down.
Du Juan took the 22 in her hands and began to work. They talked 23 like old friends. Du Juan spoke of some funny things in her life. The old man 24 his old days and shared his present life with her. He said that he was going to 25 his son's graduation ceremony the next Tuesday. Twenty minutes later, "OK, done," said Du Juan. The old man looked at 26 in a mirror. "I look good. Thank you!" he said.
So far Du Juan has 27 30 such free haircuts to people around the city. All began because of an illness. It made her ever thick hair 28 terribly. After that, she didn't dare to have her hair cut until a professional barber (理发师) appeared. "He talked with me and didn't regard me 29 a patient. I felt cared about and less 30 .

" I learned the haircut 31 and later became a barber. I enjoyed 32 to people's stories of sadness and happiness," she added. During her spare time, she not only gave people free haircuts, 33 also made them feel the way she'd felt that day. In 2018, she 34 the Red Chair Project to help more people.

Dear daddy,
How's everything going? It has been so many days since you went to Wuhan. Do you still remember the 21 before you left? You looked worried, and I saw the luggage (行李) in your bedroom. I asked you, "Are you going to leave 22 ?"You smiled and put your hand on my head saying, "I'm just tidying up some clothes."
Later that night, I learned that you and mom had asked to be sent to Wuhan and were waiting for a 23 . At that moment, I really hoped that 24 of you would get the call 25 , your phone still rang. I almost cried out in fear as if I were going to Wuhan myself.
The next morning, I got up 26 . During the breakfast, you smiled and asked me if I would miss you. I pretended (假装) it was no big deal and said, "I 27 send you a message whenever I miss you."
You left even before the sun rose. I waved (挥手) to you until I couldn't see you any more. And my eyes were filled with 28 . I later realized it was Lantern Festival. I wrote down "Waiting for you to 29 "in my notebook. I knew the people of Wuhan needed you more than I did.
At night, Mom sent me some photos. I found you in the photos at once, "Hey, this is my daddy!" I was so 30 of you!
Daddy, we all miss you. I love you, forever and ever.
Yours,
Kathy
