Features: Giving a beggar a copper coin, he will sincerely thank you and say, "God will bless you and your family's health." Listening to this blessing brings joy that you have never experienced. The joy of receiving such words, I think, can truly enhance our well-being. Every time I interact with a beggar, I feel that what they give me is greater than what I give them, and I often return home with a sense of fulfillment. When you encounter helpless blind people, hungry mothers, or orphans without parents, you can share the money from your purse with them. Heart is a children's novel written by the Italian writer Amicis in 1886. The novel is narrated from the perspective of a young boy, Enrico, starting from the day of the 4th-grade school opening in October and continuing until July of the following year. The entire book consists of 100 articles, including touching stories that happen around Enrico, inspirational and encouraging essays written by his parents and sister in his diary, as well as 10 brilliant "Monthly Stories" read by the teacher in class. In just the two decades from the book's publication in 1886 to 1904, it was printed over 300 times. For over a century, it has remained a bestseller and has been adapted into animations, films, and comic strips multiple times, influencing the world.
