Our generosity and hospitality (好客), he replied in a strong local accent. Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that. His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.

Who knows what act of kindness we39。ll meet then?(1)What problem did the autho
