In the group there was a tourist named David. He was wearing a blue T-shirt, holding his phone, his eyes constantly looking at the screen. As soon as Chen Bo opened his mouth, David started talking. Chen Bo was introducing the history of the Li River, but David asked: 'Are there any good restaurants here?'

Chen Bo smiled and continued talking. He said that along the Li River there are many fishermen's lanterns hanging, and every evening it is very beautiful. David was asking questions while walking, not listening at all. Chen Bo felt a little anxious inside, but still answered patiently.

When they arrived at Elephant Trunk Hill, Chen Bo began telling the legend of the mountain. He spoke both seriously and vividly. But David was looking at his phone while saying: 'I already read about it online, nothing special.' The other tourists all frowned.

Chen Bo paused for a moment and took a deep breath. He thought: 'The more I talk, the less he listens.' He decided to try a different approach. He walked to David's side and said softly: 'Sir, there is a very special place ahead, let us go and see it together.'

As they walked on, they arrived at a hilltop viewpoint. Thin mist hung there, and the mountains all around were both tall and still. Chen Bo said nothing at all. He simply stood there, looking at the distant mountains. The other tourists also gradually became quiet.

David was still holding his phone, but he was no longer looking at the screen. He raised his head and looked at the mountains around him, then looked at the river in the mist. After a while, he put his phone into his pocket. He said softly: 'It really is beautiful.'

Chen Bo heard this and felt very happy inside. He did not speak right away. He understood that sometimes silence is more powerful than words. In this moment, no one was speaking, but everyone felt the beauty of Guilin.

That evening, Chen Bo sat by the Li River, thinking about what had happened that day. He understood one thing: competing with noise is useless, the quiet of a mirror is what truly moves people. From then on, every time he led a group, he would stop at the most beautiful spot, say nothing, and simply wait.
