Snow… night. Her little hands were almost frozen stiff. Ah, even a tiny match would be beneficial to her! She drew a small match from a large bundle and struck it against the wall to light it. The little girl found herself sitting in the school cafeteria. Fragrant pork chops, delicious stone pot bibimbap. Every dish cost only two yuan.
She struck another match. This time, she was sitting inside a warm affordable apartment. The rent was only 77 yuan per month. The chairman sat beside her, kindly having an intimate conversation with her. "Can you afford rent of 77 yuan?" "Yes! Yes!" The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, nearly sobbing.
She struck another match against the wall. This time, the match illuminated everything around her. The news anchor appeared in the light, so gentle and elegant. "Uncle!" The little girl jumped into his arms, "Ah! Please take me away! I know, once it hits 7:30, you will disappear, just like the two-yuan meal in the school cafeteria, the 77-yuan-a-month affordable apartment, they will vanish!"
She hurriedly struck a large bundle of matches, intending to keep the uncle with her. The huge bundle of matches gave off intense light, bright as daylight! The anchor had never looked so tall and handsome. He lifted the little girl and held her in his arms. Together they flew in the light and joy, higher and higher, until they reached the news broadcast where there was no cold, no hunger, and no suffering.
