Lift the phone, press the shutter, the simplest movement, can also be the warmest act of kindness.
Melbourne mother Shirley (Sherryn Jackson) took her daughter out to the park early Monday morning. As they passed Swanston Street, a vagrant sitting on the side of the road caught her eye.
Those street vagrants, Shirley, had long since been strange, but the old man in front of him felt completely different.
He was wearing glasses, Sven, and his clothes, though somewhat worn, were not dirty.
He had neither a pot nor a bottle of cigarettes, but a sign full of words.
The sign for the vagrant old man says:
Hello, I'm from Perth. I've been in Melbourne for three weeks. I'm homeless. I've been trying very hard to find a job during this period, but it didn't work out. I'm a truck driver with a license and years of experience.
If someone offered me a job, I could do anything, even go to the bathroom. I just want to start my life all over again, hoping someone will give me a chance.
Thank you, Barry..
Shirley met before the homeless, all are asking for money to drink and smoke, never met really want to work!
Sherry was moved by the sincerity of the old man named Barry, who came forward to give the old man some change, but Barry said she didn't need it, just looking for a job.
But Shirley didn't have the ability to offer him a job, not much help. Still, she pulled out her cell phone and took a picture of the old man.
She thought, "upload it to the Internet, maybe someone will find a way."
But this is this simple picture,
It completely changed the life of the old man!
Sherry wrote on her Facebook page: "you see this old job seeker on the street. If you have the right position, please contact him at the phone below the sign."
What Shirley did not expect was such a brief message that her Facebook was completely submerged in the ocean of news.
Barry's job search information has been retweeted over and over again, with more than 400 people commenting on the photo. In just a few days, he received more than a dozen calls and hundreds of messages
And six interviews!
For Shirley, the experience was unforgettable.
There were people on the streets that day, and no one noticed that Barry, might just think of him as a lazy bum. But he wasn't, so I decided to help him.
I was just an ordinary housewife and couldn't do anything for him, so I took a picture and posted it on the Internet.
I didn't think so much at that time.
In fact, in Australia, Shirley and the vagrant elderly things are staged every day … Helping others, conveying goodwill, has become a habit, an idea, integrated into everyday trifles.
When you don't come to Australia, you always hear people say that Australia is happy, but when you ask where Australia's happiness is, they can't say why.
Looking at several major cities in Australia, high-rise buildings are not even comparable to the second and third-tier cities in China. If you want to go out and go shopping before 06:00 in the evening, even after 09:30, the restaurants are closed and only pub is still open. There is nothing to eat.
Buses and trains don't come until ten minutes. It's possible to wait an hour on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Life is not only primitive, but also inconvenient.
This kind of life is just a village, where is happiness?
I think that the happiness of the Australian village may be a strong human touch between people and people.

When you come to Australia, you know that when you go out without money, a stranger will show up to help you pay your bill, and all you have to do is pass on the love and help to help someone else!
Not long ago, a warm-hearted news said that a little brother went to the gas station to refueling, went to the cashier to check out suddenly found that he did not bring cash, but also brought a bank card that can not remember the password. Just when he was too embarrassed to do it, the little brother next door came back to help him out. He paid the bill of more than 100 Australian dollars without saying anything.
。
The little brother thanked him and asked the kind-hearted man to write down his contact details so that he could return the money later. But the little one left behind is a line,: pass it on..
Later, as I read the comments on the news, I saw a lot of people share similar experiences. Others say at the toll station at Sydney Harbour Bridge, many people pay two cross-over fees at once: one for themselves and one for the second car behind it. And this has almost become a convention, because the lucky ones who have been "second behind" will choose to pass on this good deed at some point in the future.

When she arrived in Australia, she knew there was really a soup mother-in-law. At 91, she got up early every day for 38 years, buying food, cooking, and giving free to the poor who didn't have enough to eat.
She said: "The fire of love is small, and it is also to be ignited at a time."
A 91-year-old mother-in-law in Canberra, Australia's capital, has been on the streets of Canberra every day for 38 years, offering free soup and bread to the poor. Before dawn in the morning, Stasia had already got up, washed up in a hurry, pushed the cart straight to the vegetable market not far from home, and became the first group of guests there, only in this way, the vegetables were both fresh and cheap. Sometimes when there is a special, she will buy a little more, the car can not be installed, a number of times to and fro. Canberra weather is not good, winter gale and summer sun, but Stasia is still rain and wind.
After a day's purchase, the old man returned to his home, and it was a day of the day, but the overwork of the day did not stop the old man... Clean, pick, handle, cook... The old man's full-time hands seemed to be re-energized, and the ordinary vegetables turned into a bowl of a bowl of a bowl of sweet congee, and the kitchen was full of breath, and the fragrance was in the wind. By 11:00 the next morning, Stasia pushed a small dining car full of food on time, and the hot soup and the bread were given to the poor who needed food on time.
From the last century to the present, Stasia has been doing so six days a week, painstakingly and recklessly in return. Every person who passes the streets will feel very warm when they see Stasia and her cart. For many people, Stasiai, like their real grandmother, cares about them, helps them as much as she can, and many of them gain courage and strength from her. And Stasia's face, too, always hung with a satisfied smile.

When I arrived in Australia, I learned that the disappearance of an ordinary child could cause thousands of people to voluntarily participate in a search operation.
Last July, a little girl from Gold Coast, Jocelyn, suddenly disappeared. Shortly after her disappearance, her family sent a distress message to the Gold Coast police. When the police learned of the news, they immediately organized a large number of police forces and emergency service personnel to launch a comprehensive large-scale search operation in the gold coast area, in case the police also sent diving teams at the same time. The police also immediately made public the news of the girl's disappearance, helping the surrounding residents through the media: they wanted residents in the surrounding area to check the yard, hut, swimming pool and other places to hide in their homes.
For a while, almost all of Australia's mainstream media followed up on headlines and social networking platforms retweeted the disappearance of Jocelyn. Driven by cyber forces, thousands of people rushed into local police command centers to register for search operations, whether on the streets. Or the grass. Or the woods. There are rescuers everywhere. People were searching for leaflets, riding horses around the woods, tearfully worried about Jocelyn's safety, and residents putting water, snacks and blankets in front of their homes in the hope of helping the poor little girl.
The intense search continues until about 4:00 a. m., and the good news is coming! The volunteers found Jocelyn under a bridge! When Jocelyn's father, Steve Lewis, took her and came to the search and rescue center command, everyone on the scene began to clap, cheer, and cheer...
Jocelyn's father said: "until they find their daughter, the whole family is anxious and worried that the worst will happen. Jocelyn will be able to recover unharmed, all with the help of all the good-hearted people!" the father of Jocelyn said: "before they find their daughter, the whole family is anxious and worried that the worst will happen."
Warm heart video from Jocelyn's return:

After coming to Australia, I knew that when a child could not resist drowning, he would never be scolded, but a passerby's selfless hand.
In April last year, a Sydney-based mother, Amy Schembri, with her two children shopping at a Woolworths supermarket in Kings Langley, picked up a half-car. At this point, she encountered a very embarrassing thing: her two-year-old son, Dominic, suddenly felt sick in his stomach and suddenly took a poop in public. Although Dominic was wearing a baby diaper, he could not resist the menace of the coming, as if the tide of the general surging poop!
His poop spurted out through diapers, panties and pants, gushed up his back, and then flowed onto Woolworths's floor. Amy saw the poop all over the floor, looked at the surrounding environment, and wanted to hit the dead heart!
However, the development of the story is a bit touching. No one watched, no one took pictures, and no one attacked them maliciously. After seeing the situation, another mother in the supermarket hurriedly handed Amy a bag of baby paper towels. Amy said that he only wanted to take a few, but there was so much poop on the ground that he couldn't clean it at all. So, the mother simply gave her the whole bag of napkins. Woolworths employees also came to take care of her eldest son, Jeremy, and someone helped her clean up the poop on the floor. After cleaning the poop on the floor, Woolworths employees also helped to take care of what she wanted to buy and her eldest son. So she can take Dominic to clean up the dirt on her body. Amy said she was not going to go back to Woolworths shopping because it was humiliating. But her eldest son was still there, so she went back to her head. When she returned to the supermarket, she was moved to tears again: Woolworths's staff had packed all her things and didn't charge her a cent!
After the event, Amy sent the whole process, along with the receipt, to Facebook, and quickly aroused a huge reaction from netizens. In just two days, there were more than 20, 000 replies and 1420 times of sharing!

When he arrived in Australia, he knew that someone would own 1000 homes, hundreds of millions of dollars, but almost devoted his life to Australian society, to help the needy, and to live a "poor" life.
John Knight was once a popular star doctor with more than 1000 properties worth more than A $300m.
However, he did not buy so many houses to make money from investing. He rented most of his property to elderly retirees who had difficulty living at a very low price, which was too small to cover the normal cost of the house. He not only provides low-cost homes for the elderly, but also organises meals for retirees, free food, wheelchairs and even vacations.
Knight did it all by himself, and he never asked goverment to pay a penny for it. He gave almost everything he had to help the retired, and he lived a very simple life. For the past 60 years, he has lived in an undecorated apartment behind him, but has given up his best sea view room to someone else.

Only when I came to Australia did I know that someone would help the most ordinary animals in spite of their own safety.
At the end of last year, an Australian environmental group released a moving video of several ducklings falling into the sewer, and an Australian handsome guy got friends to grab his leg. The story of one of them being picked up by hanging upside down.
This video touched countless people around the world, more than 60 million views! Video:

Come to Australia to know, to help a stranger's behavior, it's not just in the news, it's all the time it's on your side.
One of my best friends is a careless girl who, in their words, is unreliable. For example, she had missed a flight back to Australia from home because she had misread the time written on her face. Her carelessness was also evident.
Once, she went out of the morning class at school, and without breakfast, she rushed to buy a burrito, and sat on the campus bench to eat and play with her cell phone, and her wallet was thrown aside. Later just ran into the other classmates who were in class together, as a result, they walked away with a joke and forgot the wallet that had just been placed on the bench.
It was not until she finished another class in the afternoon that she was ready to take the bus home when she suddenly found her purse missing. Only then did she realize that she had landed on the bench in the morning. Her wallet contained her various identification papers and bank cards, as well as hundreds of Australian dollars in cash. Now, five hours after she had lost her purse, she was anxious to return to the place where she had just lost it, and it was missing.
On that day, the school staff had left work, and she had no choice but to borrow money to go home first. The next day, she tried to take a chance at the school lost and found office before she reported the loss, but the staff who received her turned around and took out her wallet from behind.
She found out that cash, bank cards, and certificates were as many as they were. The staff also told her that she found it on the bench after work yesterday afternoon. That is, if it is not found by the staff, the purse may have been on the campus as it is.
