Wan Zuocheng and his wife Xiong Gengxiang had run a restaurant near a cancer hospital in Nanchang, Jiangxi since 1993. They later set up a breakfast stall(摊) after the restaurant was closed.

In 2003, a woman whose child was suffering from bone cancer went to their stall, asking to borrow their stove to cook food. She said her kid wanted to eat food cooked by her. From then on, more and more families of patients began coming to their stall to cook. The “cancer kitchen” started in the same year.

The couple allowed people to use their cooking tools for free. With the costs of water, electricity and coal rising, people started paying. However, the couple only accepted 0.5 yuan for each dish cooked, and rose to 1 yuan in 2016.

The son of the couple once tried to stop them serving the patients, worrying the tiring work would affect their health. But the couple think that helping the patients makes them happy.

Having seen too many deaths over the years, the couple have found their meaning of life. “For us, without the patients, we would feel lonely, and for the patients, they would face difficulties without us.” said Wan.

The elderly couple has been honored as “People Who Moved China in 2020” for their kind heartedness. However, they were absent from the award ceremony(颁奖典礼) because they wanted to keep providing kitchen services for the patients during the Spring Festival holiday.

CCTV news hosts seem to have nothing to do with live stream(直播)stars,but these two groups broke the divide and came together for a special live stream.

There was a nationwide online show on April 6, 2020. Zhu Guangquan and Li Jiaqi hosted a show named “Buying Hubei” on Taobao Live.

Netizens(网民)were surprised by Zhu’s humor during the live stream.     1

Chinese netizens said, “    4     However, we are ready to help by placing orders for Hubei products.”
