He formed a bond with Albert, a young boy from the Dan tribe, taught him Chinese, and witnessed the boy's original intention to learn Chinese agricultural technology; he led the locals to hold a Spring Festival party, and used red berries to boil ink to write the word "spring", interpreting that "spring" is a symbol of peace and hope.
