I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994. but I can remember
my mother’s words as if it were yesterday. “Kernel, I don’t want you to take food from
your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him. ”
AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From
then on , I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together
anymore . and my dad lived alone . For a while , he could take care of himself . But
when I was 12. his condition worsened . My father’s other children lived far away, so itfell to me to took after him.
We couldn’t afford all the necessary medicine for him. and because Dad was unable to
work . I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food for dinner .
I would sit in class feeling completely lost , the teacher’s words muffled as I tried to
figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden (负担)with anyone . I had seen people reacted to AIDS. Kids
laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease . And even adults could be
cruel . When my father was moved to the hospital. the nurses would leave his food on
the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die . but after so many years of keeping his condition
a secret . I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and
hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day , she kept
me on the phone for hours . I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my
life .

“Poor but honest. ” “The deserving(值得帮助的)poor. ”There words always come to
my mind when I think of “the poor. ”But I also think of people who. perhaps through
alcohol(酒) or drugs. have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in
order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction(上
上)really are “diseases. ”as many people say. but my own feeling—based, of course,
not on any serious study—is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the
“undeserving poor. ”And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars.
But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called
“deserving. ”Deserving what? My spare change ?Or simple the government’s
assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to makecontributions to charity(慈善机构). but if I give some change to a beggar . am I making
a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone . or . am I perhaps simply
encouraging someone not to get help ?Or , maybe even worse . am I supporting a
cheat?
If one believes in the value of private charity. One can either give to needy people or to
charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who
badly needs help. but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In
giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that one’s money is likely to
be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate
person needs help at this moment—a cup of coffee or a sandwich—and the need will
not be met unless I put my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars
whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are
actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.
I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer
begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the
people whom I actually meet. That’s why I do not give “spare change, ”and I don’t
think I will in the future.
