Because the owner saw a need, and just, kept on, providing it, to the locals in his area, and his kindness is, dearly, noted here, off of the Newspapers, translated…

The "A-Xing Stewed Meats" in Zhonghe, Hsinbei City, for twelve years, provided 200 free meals to those who need, and there were those who received the free meals who'd started doing the dishes for the shop voluntarily to pay back, since the outbreaks hit hard in May, the shop didn't make as much, and still managed to provide for a hundred free lunches to those in need per day, as a local charitable foundation learned of this, they'd raised funds and donated $38,000N.T. to help the shop keep going, to offer those who were hit hard economically to keep their stomachs, full.Xing Stewed Meats is a mildly famed shop locally, since 2009, the owner started providing the free meals, and for many years, he'd helped many families.  But since the outbreaks in May, the shop was hit really hard, and could no longer provide as many free meals to those in need anymore, and this greatly, impacted the lives of those who are in desperate need.  The Futien Foundation C.E.O., Huang invited the members of the foundation, to raise the funds, and received a total of $38,000N.T.s, and recently, he'd gone on behalf of his foundation, with the man in charge of the local borough, Lai, to donate to the shop.

Ms. Chang in Hsintien told, that her family wasn't doing well, there are three members of her families who all suffered strokes, and there's a huge sum in medical charges she had to worry about, she'd gone to the shop to receive two serving of the free meals offered by the shop, and the owner had been more than kind, it'd made her too grateful, and, whenever she'd found the time, she'd gone to the shop to help do the dishes voluntarily, and hoped that when she is more able, she could be like the owner of the shop, give back to the community as well.

The owner of A-Xing Stewed Meats, Chen told, that he had been hit hard from before, that he didn't have his meals regularly then, and can understand the trials of life, and back then, he'd made a vow, that when he is able to, he will, give back to the society in his own way.

Lai stated, that the city of Hsinbei hoped to start up this cycle of love and continue it, setting up the "Better Days Compassion Free Meals Platform", inviting the local owners of food shops to come onboard their program, and currently, there are already, twenty restaurants that's, signed up.

And so, this is still how a thought of kindness, seeing someone in need, and deciding to offer the assistance, can start a cycle of kindness, and those who were helped, are also, returning the kindness shown to them, by this shop that's, started up this, cycle of help, of kindness, and hopefully, these acts of kindness will, keep on, rolling on.
