When Lin got off from school, he would scrutinize that grassy patch. When he spied thrown-out shoes from a distance, he would rush over and pick them up. "Sometimes I would collect shoes that had only the left foot still in wearable condition, while other times the sizes of the two feet of the shoes would be widely divergent. But I always had shoes to wear," says Lin.
放學後他會仔細注意草叢，遠遠地看到有鞋丟出來，就飛也似地衝去撿鞋，「有時撿到的鞋只剩左腳完好，有時大小差很多，但總算有鞋可穿。」
