I am in Dongying mixed society

Hitomi Hoshino continued to say this in a mumbling tone.

And when she looked at the rabbit doll in her hand and muttered to herself, what she didn't notice was that.

The corner of the downstairs of a residential building less than 100 meters away from the security room at the main entrance of the outer wall of the Hoshino house where she is located.

There is a girl with messy hair and shabby clothes, hiding in the corner of this residential building, watching her muttering while holding a rabbit doll with a smile.

"She... accepted..."

Chapter 81—The Definition of a Great Man

Ten years ago, Fukushima...

A small three-story building, a small but cozy home.

A documentary about great people in modern countries is playing on the TV in the living room on the first floor.

In front of the TV, watching this documentary is a pair of father and daughter who seem very ordinary in Japan.

father.

Halfway through the documentary, I was accompanying my father to watch the documentary being shown on the TV, but the bright eyes were filled with puzzlement, and the young daughter spoke.

[What's wrong?Yuri?] Hearing the daughter's opening, the father beside him turned his head.

There was a smile on his face, and his kind eyes looked at his doubting daughter tenderly.

[That... Dad... What's the great man?] The daughter's little finger pointed to the TV, her eyes were full of childlike innocence and curiosity.

In the face of his studious daughter, the father who looked at his daughter lovingly did not directly answer this question from his young daughter.

[Great man~Yuri, what do you think is a great man?

[I don't know...] The daughter who was the first questioning party honestly shook her head to her father who asked her back.

Then think about it.

[Is it... a hero?A hero like Oda Nobunaga?A hero who can dominate many, many people and is worshipped by people!Such a great person?

[A hero who is worshipped by people... right, right?Faced with the answer he gave, the father who asked his daughter back, smiled and shook his head.

[Right or not?What do you mean dad?

[Well...that means Yuri was only half right!

[That's it... Then Dad, if a hero is not a great man, then what is a great man?] The daughter who was a little unclear about her father's answer then asked.

Faced with her question, her father's answer was yes.

[Dad, I didn’t say that heroes are not great men~ It’s just that no matter whether they are heroes or great men.It is not a simple "hero" that can be summarized~]

[I don't quite understand...] The daughter who is still unclear about the matter continued to shook her head.

And just as she shook her head again, her father who had been selling her a pass gave her an exact answer about the word'great man' in the next second.

[Simply put Yuri, whether it is a hero or a great man, if you have to sum it up in one sentence, it is probably a person who can bring light to others.

[The one who brings light?

[Well, the one who brings light.So Yuri, what is the "light" you know?

Following the words of his father, Yuri, as a daughter, couldn't help but looked at the sunlight that spilled into the living room from the window, and then looked up at the lighting bulb on the ceiling of the living room on the first floor of his home.

And the father who was sitting next to her could undoubtedly see all the little movements she made subconsciously after being questioned.

[No~Yuri, the so-called light is not a simple chandelier, nor is it an eternal sun.And the person who brings light is not the electrician who installs the light bulb.

It may be a person's help to another person in difficulty, an unintentional act of kindness, a bread to rescue people who are about to starve to death, or a clothing that can warm the homeless in winter.

Or it could be the teaching of a hopeful person to another who is in despair.

So Yuri, do you understand?What is a great man?

Great people don’t necessarily need to do something as earth-shattering as saving a country.

It is not necessarily necessary to fight for the whole life of mankind.

It is not necessary to lead a group of people to wage a war against another group and win the war.

Its real meaning is just to extend a helping hand to those in need, and to send a little glimmer to the desperate.

Therefore, great people are not only on the TV, but in the textbooks, they are by our side.

Yes, Yuri, the thing that can rekindle hope for the desperate is light, and the person who can give this light to the desperate is a great man.

Even if the light he gave is very small, so small that it can only save one person, but for the saved person, he is his hero and his great man.

He/she is the one, even if it is only great for one person, great person.

And if one day, Yuri, if you can get help from such a great person when you are in trouble, remember, you must keep in mind the help the other party gave you when you were desperate.

Then afterwards, send your thank you gift to that person.

[Thanks?

[Yes, thank you, you have to know that if you don’t even receive the thank you gift from the person you helped, it’s for the great person who helps others.

Does it seem too unfair?
