I was sure that I was to be killed. I
became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any
cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my
shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had
taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye
contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me,
shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the
match, his eyes inadvertently(不經(jīng)意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did
that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very
close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In
that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two
hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped
through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but
stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as
a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new
dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my
wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out
the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for
them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my
family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his
eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led
me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There,
at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back
toward the town.
“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the
smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really
believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other,
we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!
