Goodspeed, the teacher in Hangzhou who belongs to the United Church of Christ, spent two years in the northern province of Shandong. She lent money to students to study abroad, and advised others on how to apply for scholarships.

He didn't know my friend or me; he helped because I asked. That was Chuck--stranger or friend, if you needed help, he offered all he had. When the President needed a new counsel, he knew Chuck's reputation as a brilliant lawyer who was committed to serving his community. That he quietly helped someone he didn't know, however, told the President everything he needed to know about Chuck's soul...
