There were no walls and no railings-only sheer drops on either side.I remembered then that tourists had fallen to their deaths in this section.My fright to heights kicked in and I stood there completely frozen.I was so paralysed with fear that I was unable to move forwards or backwards.Suddenly, I felt a small hand on my back and a soft female voice telling me, in Chinese, not to be afraid, that she would slowly lead me to the top.Half an hour later, we reached a section that had a few wall remnants.They blocked the view of vertical drops on either side, which gave me some relief.! was also able to turn around to see who had extended such kindness to me in my hour of greatest fear.lt was the tiny old lady who'd been disturbing me, the tiny old lady Id told a dozen times-eventually shouting at her-that I didn't want any postcards.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。一个女商贩不断地给作者推销明信片， 让作者心生厌恶，但是后来这位女士在关键时刻给作者提供了及时的帮助，又让作者倍感温暖。5.
