Old Man at Bridge

Of those four stories, the last one impress me most. The old man described by the author is unfortunate for he must leave his homeland, living on the bridge; but he is also persistent and merciful, cause although he's living under extremely bad condition, he doesn't give up his initial golds that taking care of his various animals and even lose his own sense. In this story, I can see that the author stand in sight of first characterto talk about the old man and directly show the bad condition of man, which really impress me.
