    On Broadway and in Times Square, there are costumed characters dressed as various cartoon figures everywhere. These live-action costumed characters include the Statue of Liberty, Minions, Batman, and even a cute big-headed baby… They perform energetically for tourists, their faces beaming with exaggerated smiles, eagerly inviting visitors to take photos with them. They seem perpetually happy and carefree, untouched by any worries. I often thought that these adorable costumed characters must be beautiful young men and women inside. But once, while eating at a restaurant, I saw several costumed characters with their heads removed eating, instantly shattering all my beautiful expectations. They must have been around 50 years old on average. Their faces were full of wrinkles, their arm muscles drooping loosely, eating simple food. Because they were far from the crowds, they revealed their true selves: tired, indifferent, and too lazy to utter a single word. Perhaps, inviting tourists for photos had become too exhausting? In Times Square, there was a woman with heavy makeup, constantly strumming a guitar. I say "strumming" because I've played guitar myself and could tell she couldn't play. She just strummed the strings symbolically, a bright smile on her face, and if someone actually came to take a picture with her, she smiled like a flower. Unfortunately, very few people took pictures with her; a hundred invitations wouldn't guarantee a single success. But she didn't seem to care about rejections, turning around and inviting the next person with the same enthusiasm. One day, on another street corner, I saw her again. She sat on the cold, damp cement ground, her face stern, her body hunched over. Beside her were all her belongings: a small, portable cart filled with miscellaneous household items in black plastic bags, and her broken guitar lying forlornly beside it. It was dusk, and she was counting her day's earnings—not much money, really. She counted carefully, probably calculating what food she could buy to fill her stomach. Did she have children? I don't know, but I know she most likely didn't have a home, because her cart was full of her belongings. Although I've seen people begging on the street with "Homeless" signs many times, I never believed it before, thinking they were just creating a pitiful image to get money. This time, I finally believe it; maybe most of them are genuine. "You are not a fish, how can you know the fish's joy?" Conversely, "You are not a fish, how can you know the fish's sorrow?" Dialectical materialism says everything has two sides; aren't people the same? Everyone cultivates their own persona. What we learn through social media, through our friends' feeds, is nothing more than what others want us to see. Do you truly understand the people around you, including your loved ones, family, and friends? I remember a phone call where my parents told me they were fine and not to worry, to focus on my work. But later I learned my mother was sick. They were just afraid I would worry. Like real-life dolls, everyone in life wears a mask. But if we accidentally see the tearful eyes behind that mask, please don't hesitate to give them a hug. Because only that warmth can help them get through such a cold winter. [Smirk]
