I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (searched) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which   1   their search. I found   2   and because of my shaking hands, I could   3   get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked   4   the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I   5   to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette.   6   he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I   7  . I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was   8  , perhaps it was because, when you get very, one to another, it is very   9   not to smile. In that instant, it was   10   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 smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but   11  , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I   12   smiling at him, now aware of him as a(n)   13   and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new   14   too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the   15   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.   16   without another word, he   17   my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
“My life was   18   by a smile.” Yes, the smile—the unaffected, unplanned,   19   connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could   20   each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.
