Shop Owner's Kind Act of Slience Drew Praises
A kind-hearted wonton shop owner in Changchun, Jilin, who constantly condoned an old beggar's passing of game tokens for real money in buying food from his shop has drawn praises from across China after the story hit internet chatrooms.
The shop owner was said to have feigned ignorance when the old man handed him a handful of small change mixed with game tokens to buy buns and wontons at his wonton shop located near Xinjiang Street market in Chaoyang District, Changchun. He put the tokens into his till as if nothing was wrong, believing that the old man should be allowed to eat like a respected customer. Many internet users were moved by the story. Some approved it not just as an act of simple altruism but a noble expression of resepct of human dignity.
"It's a minor matter not worth mentioning. Anyone could do the same," said the shop owner, by the name Liu Da-jun, when approched by our reporters. He believed that the old man who had poor eyesight and hearing did not intend to cheat. "Old people should live in dignity," he said when asked why he chose not to expose him.
Liu Da-jun showed four coins the old man gave him, which included one game token from a nearby game centre, and coins from Japan, Hong Kong and China. Liu added that the old man begged for a living but had his pride. "He does not beg on busy streets but in quieter places," Liu said. It was said that the man in his 70s had injury on his head believed to be sustained in earlier years.
The story of Liu Da-jun may be a proverbial one where kindness pays, as the name of his wonton shop has spreaded, drawing crowds of patrons. A local child came up with a plan to hand the small change he had saved up to Liu, in exchange for the game tokens he received from the old man.
