One day, Tom was walking home when he suddenly noticed a young man sitting on the bridge railing (栏杆). He was going to jump into the river to kill himself.

“Hey, young! What are you doing? Are you going to jump? ” Tom asked.

“    ▲   ” the young man answered. His voice had pain in it, but Tom could tell he didn’t really want to do this. Tom tried to draw his attention. “You have any kids?” Then, the young man pulled up a picture of his daughter on his mobile phone.

“Try to think how your daughter will live on without her dad at a young age.” Tom said. His heart was beating fast, but he stayed calm. By doing so, Tom learned about the young man’s trouble.

“I am having a hard time,” the young man said. “I can’t make any money, I am hungry. And I can’t live without heroin(海洛因).”By this time, Tom had walked closer to him. He made the young man believe that he cared if he jumped into the river. Finally, the young man turned, took Tom’s hand and climbed down.

Soon, the police drove the young man away. Tom has never got his name. But he always remembers the last words the young man said to him. “Thank you ! And you really are a hero to me.”
