It was a sunny afternoon in a remote and poor mountain village in Shanxi. Maria, a blond girl from the other side of the ocean, was lamenting in her heart that life here was too difficult. Impoverished.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the white-haired old woman under a century-old tree. The old man was dressed simply, with slightly squinted eyes, talking and laughing with a little boy with a kind face. Maria stopped curiously and stood not far away. She heard the old man ask the little boy a crossword puzzle: "A person's surname is Wang, and he carries two pieces of candy."

The little boy had obviously heard of this crossword puzzle before, and immediately answered loudly: "It's gold." The old man grinned with satisfaction, took out two pieces of fruit candy from his chest pocket, handed one to the boy, and the other to his own mouth. The two of them sucked sweetly, seeming to be enjoying boundless happiness.

Maria looked enviously at the old man and young man in front of her, surrounded by happiness. Suddenly, she remembered her grandmother's beautiful villa with a big garden, her grandmother who often invited a group of children to her home to share her candies and stories, and her grandmother's simple and hearty laughter that was as simple and hearty as the children's.

It turns out that joy and happiness are as ubiquitous as sunshine. No matter what situation a person is in, whether he is rich or poor, as long as he carries two pieces of candy, one generously gives away to others, and the other is kept for himself to taste slowly, he will have real happiness flowing from him like a spring, and he will have his own happiness. Continuous happiness flows in life.

It was those two ordinary fruit candies and those two simple smiling faces that made Maria make a lifelong proud choice - to stay in western China and become a volunteer to help the poor. Spread joy and happiness.

Later, Maria worked with the villagers, taught the village children, and helped the mountain village attract investment. She opened a mountain product processing factory, making the lives of the mountain people there richer day by day.

The villagers gratefully called her the "angel of happiness", but she smiled and said that she just shared the two pieces of candy in her pocket with everyone. She also wanted to thank everyone because she pursued the pursuit together with them. Those days of struggle made her discover that she was still capable of doing so many things, allowing her to taste the incomparable sweetness that she had never tasted before.
