In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor （辅导员）at a high school camp．On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin．His shyness made him appear weak．I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this．"I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either．Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend．

At lunch the next day，I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone．I tried again with the same invitation，but he refused once again．That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy．Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could．

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave．We held a big，warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp．All the campers shared their wonderful moments．To my surprise.1found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls．I couldn't believe it was the same person．

In October of my second year，I received a phone call from Tommy's mother．She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed．I offered my deep sadness．The mother said："'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence．You made a difference for Tommy during his last months．"

At that moment，I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day．You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else．I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own"boy under the tree"．

With the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, people have to stay at home. More and more people have started to shop online. Their new shopping habits are changing Chinese e-commerce (电子商务).

Buy fresh food online

Xiao Wei from Nanjing has not been to the supermarket since the outbreak started, according to People's Daily. Every day, she buys fresh vegetables, meat and fruit online. "It is convenient (方便的) and I'm less likely to be infected (感染)," she said. Fresh grocery (生鲜食品) e-commerce in China has seen quick growth during the outbreak. Missfresh (每日优鲜), a grocery delivery (递送) company, reported that sales (销量) were 3.5 times higher than those of last year during the Spring Festival holiday, while sales by JD Fresh were 2.15 times higher, Xinhua reported.  People’s new shopping habits might change the future of e-commerce in China. According to a survey (调查) by US market research company Nielsen, nearly 50 percent of people said they would be more willing to buy groceries online even when the epidemic is over.

"I like watching people eating and selling snacks," a Taobao user told Sina.com. “When I feel bored at home, I watch the streams and buy snacks. It makes me feel relaxed and happy.”

Jiang Xinjie, assistant president of the Intime Retail Shopping Mall (银泰百货), said over 2,000 of the company's sales teams will start livestreaming this year in order to sell more. "Livestreaming e-commerce is not only a way for malls to deal with emergencies (紧急情况), but also a way to upgrade (升级) their sales model," Jiang said.
