  Ho had great sympathy for refugees① who wanted to leave Germany. Consequently②, he decided to give visas to whoever applied. It is not known how many Shanghai visas Ho issued. It is known that he issued nearly 2,000 of them by October 1938, and thousands more until he was transferred③ back to China in 1940.“It was just natural to feel compassion④ for those persecuted⑤ and help them. It was what had to be done,” Ho said later.
Ho continued to serve as a diplomat⑥ until he retired and went to live in San Francisco, in 1973, where⑦ he died in 1997.During his own lifetime, not only⑧ did Ho's deeds go completely unrecognised⑨, but even his own family was unaware of his efforts. However, after his death his daughter discovered the part he played in rescuing so many people, and decided to investigate. This has led to widespread international recognition of his heroism⑩.
①refugee n.难民
②consequently adv.因此
③transfer v.(使)调动
④compassion n.怜悯;同情

His daughter discovered the part he played in rescuing so many people, and decided to investigate, which has led to widespread international recognition of his heroism.
2.What actions did Ho take to help refugees during his time as a diplomat, and were his actions recognised during his lifetime
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ho, showing great sympathy for refugees wanting to leave Germany, decided to issue visas to whoever applied. Despite the scale of his efforts, Ho's deeds went completely unrecognised during his lifetime, and even his own family was unaware of his actions until after his death.
【识文知意】 何非常同情那些想离开德国的难民。因此,他决定给所有申请者发放签证。没有人知道何发放了多少张上海签证。但据知,到1938年10月,他已发放了近2 000张签证,到1940年他被调回中国时,又发放了数千张签证。“对受迫害者表示同情并帮助他们,这是很自然的事,也是必须要做的事。”何后来说道。
何继续担任外交官,直到1973年退休并前往旧金山居住,他于1997年在那里去世。在他生前,何的善举不仅完全没有得到认可,甚至他自己的家人也不知道他的努力。然而,在他去世后,他的女儿发现了他在拯救这么多人的过程中所起的作用,并决定进行调查。这使得他的英勇事迹在国际上得到了广泛认可。
