spirit of heroes

On a cold Christmas night, Malmut Kidd and his friends were drinking in the hotel and telling stories of their adventures in the north. At that time, the arrival of a stranger named Jack Westendall attracted everyone's attention. He said he was chasing a few people who stole his sled for 12 hours in the snow. So Kidd was generous to provid him with food and room for break. Four hours later, Kidd woke Westondale and told him to continue on his way. Fifteen minutes later, a mounted police officer arrived at the hotel and asked where Westondale was, saying he had robbed Dawson's Casino for $40,000. Kidd suggested that the people at the hotel remained silent and did not provide any clues or helps to the mounted police. After the mounted police left, people were puzzled that Kidd's approach to helping a robber escape clearly violated moral principles. But in fact, Kidd had previously heard the story of Westendell from a friend. In order to take care of a friend who was suffering from scurvy, he entrusted all 40,000 of his savings to his partner Castel to buy enough stock to make him change into a millionaire. But that guy took the money to the casino and lost everything, and was found dead in the snow the next day. Westendale had planned to go back with the money to see his wife and children, but because of someone else's fault, he had nothing left in an instant. Being witty and chivalrous, Kidd was a veteran gold digger with rich life experience and a high prestige in northern Xinjiang. In Kidd's view, Westendall's actions were in line with the norms of justice and conduct in Northern Xinjiang, so he must be respectable and trustworthy. Kidd's judgment just showed the author's own view: in the harsh environment of northern Xinjiang, the relationship between man and nature is ruthless and difficult. And in such a harsh environment, some excellent qualities of human beings such as loyalty, perseverance, courage, integrity are especially valuable. Only men who are truly persevering and capable can win the right to live, and win the respect of others by virtue of your courage, intelligence, integrity and selflessness. This is a simple and solid truth.Beijiang cannot tolerate opportunism. To survive and become a hero, everything has to rely on real hard work and excellent moral quality. Westendall and Kidd are the heroes that the author celebrates.
