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 . He changed my appearance and more importantly, he changed me," Du Juan said.
" 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. "I can't fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone for a moment," she said.
Du Juan believes simple acts of 35 , such as a free haircut, can make a difference. "The way you show up in the world is important," she said.
