Jia Yongting is a young woman living in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province. Recently, she received a box full of guava(番石榴) from East China’s Shandong Province—for the fifth year in a row. These gifts all come from one person, 80-year-old Sun Zhenghong, a farmer in Laizhou, Shandong Province.

The connection between the two people started from September 19, 2018. When Jia saw Sun at a Beijing subway station, he was holding an old-style phone and asking for directions. Sun’s state of helplessness caught her attention so she went over to give him a hand. Jia gave Sun directions and asked if he had a place to stay. Sun said he was in the city on his own to handle some family affairs. Considering Jia was so old and had no shelter in the large city, Jia felt sorry for him. She gave him 100 yuan in cash and wrote down her phone number on the note in case he needed to call her if he needed help in Beijing. As she often helps others, Jia did not give the kind gesture a second thought and quickly forgot about it.

She never expected that Sun would call her around two weeks later from his home to ask her for her address so he could send her some local produce as thanks for her help. Although Jia refused to accept the gift at first, Sun kept calling her and his insistence touched Jia’s heart.

Jia has been receiving various gifts from Shandong following the changes of the seasons, all arriving at her home at just the right time of the year. And each time Sun wrote a letter and sent it to her with the gifts. In his letters, Sun always mentions the kindness he received from Jia and gave his best wishes.

This story of two strangers showing kindness to each other has warmed the hearts of millions of Chinese netizens(网民) who see it as a reflection of the unique warmth of the Chinese people. The story encourages us to show kindness.
