In 1956, he visited Africa, his birthplace. One day, when he was wander ing on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scene s, he lost his money and passport that he kept in an envelope. So he went to the embassy to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manner s didn’t permit his staff to help though he bow ed to him. Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the fault of his skin colour that account ed for their reaction. So he decided to take a chance to sail on a small boat home.He met a large amount of difficulty but was never stopped. On the contrary, difficulty pushed him to go ahead harder. Three months later, he was spot ted by a ship by accident. He was in rags indeed. A maid even scream ed when bringing him a steak and pineapple dessert. Aboard, he earned his passage by working as a barber and got home finally.
