Fujian stone lion (August). All steamed bun in this store are given to all kinds of poor people for free. If you are a laid-off worker with a difficult life, a poor family with a low income, a graduate who is looking for a job, a helpless old man, a wanderer, a picker... You are welcome to eat for free. " The "advertisement" produced by a newly opened steamed bun store in Shishi, Fujian province has aroused the concern of the media.
at 8:30 this morning, the reporter came to the "eternal sunshine steamed bread shop" in Shishi City, and the sign said "the person who passes the meagre love of warm rain and wind." In the shop, 3 young people were busy steaming bread, and some people passed and removed steamed bread outside the shop. A Anhui sanitation worker stops a garbage truck and sits on a stool at the door of a shop. He eats steamed bun and boasts, "I was 70 years old, and I saw no money for the first time. What a good guy these guys are! " He told reporters that since the opening of the free steamed bun store in August 3rd, he would have eaten 4 buns for breakfast every morning.
a more than 60 year old woman took two steamed bread from the store, and the reporter came to her temporary residence with her. According to her neighbour, because of her daughter who had run away from home, she had been living on the scrap rags for years.
according to the reporter's observation, more than 30 people visited the free steamed bread shop until noon today, and at least hundreds of steamed bread were taken free. A steamed buns shop, which had been around for many years, sold only a few steamed bread that morning. The owner complained, "originally, we could sell more than 100 steamed buns every day, 5 yuan for each steamed bread. Since the opening of a steamed bun store which was not sold, my business has been on the decline. "
to this, the director of the eternal sunshine steamed bread shop, Xiao Chen, said that they open a free steamed bread shop, not to compete with their peers, but to help some people with difficulties in life. The reporter asked him why he opened the steamed bread shop. Xiao Chen, with a strong Minnan accent, said, "we can deliver more than 200 steamed bread a day, and we can see that many people need help."
the surface of the steamed bread shop is Xiao Chen and others who rent it at 2500 yuan a month. Although nearby residents do not know Xiao Chen and his two partners, they do not know their background, but they are full of praise for their good deeds.
an aunt said that although the steamed bread is small, the meaning is very big, 3 young men use their own practical action to help the people around need help, let the people feel that this society is not cold.
Chen Yuansheng, deputy mayor of Shishi, said that the behavior concerned with the disadvantaged should be affirmed by the society, which is an effective supplement to the great social philanthropic background and the rescue system. A scholar here believes that the behavior of Shishi youths is very similar to the practice of "food bank" in the United States to provide food security for the poor in order to promote social harmony.
as for the question of "show" and "business hype", Xiao Chen said that he and his partners will do it silently and use practical action to eliminate people's doubts.
