“Are you crazy?” people around him shouted as Alex Bien, a 33-year-old immigrant(移民),ran toward three cars in a chain accident along the highway in Miami, which were burning down. Alex didn’t think twice.

The article “Against the Flames” reported how he put out the fire on a car and pulled a couple out of another. But when he returned to his own car, steam was coming out from it. It was damaged beyond repair.

Back in his tiny flat, alone and with little money, Alex didn’t know what to do. He was already working, going to college and supporting his wife, Aline, and children back in Haiti. He worried about his wife’s health; doctors thought she had cancer(癌症).Every cent was important to him. And now this.

Within weeks of reading the article, readers sent hundreds of letters offering jobs, money and best wishes. One delivered a car-used, but in fine condition. Others helped Aline come to Miami, where a medical team found out it was not cancetr.
