I was on the train one afternoon. Our carriage was almost empty, just a few people.

At one station, a drunk man suddenly entered the train. He shouted and swung his fists at a woman holding a baby. Luckily, the baby wasn’t hurt. Then he tried to kick an old woman. Everyone was scared.

I’ve been learning aikido （合气道，功夫的一种）for the past three years. But I’d never fought in real life. As students of aikido, we are not allowed to start a fight. “Aikido, ”my teacher always told us, “is about solving conflict（冲突）, not starting it. ”

I decided that this was my moment. If I didn’t do something fast, somebody might get hurt. So I stood up, ready to fight.

Just then someone shouted, “Hey!” It was an old man. He was smiling at the drunk man. “What have you been drinking?” he asked.

“I’ve been drinking wine, but it’s none of your business!” said the drunk man angrily.

“Oh, that’s wonderful!” said the old man. Then he told how he loved drinking wine with his wife and eating watermelon.

“And I also love watermelon.” said the drunk man.

“And I’m sure you have a wonderful wife too.” said the old man.

“No,” replied the drunk man. “My wife died.” Then he began to sob（啜泣）. “I have no wife, no home, no job. I am so ashamed of my myself.” “Oh, that’s so difficult. Sit down here and tell me about it. ” said the old man.

As I got off the train, I realized I’d just seen real aikido in action. This was the real spirit of how to solve conflict.
