An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane (拐杖). His old jacket and shoes made him unusual that day.

A young waitress named Mary watched him move towards a table by the window. She ran over to him and said with a smile, “Here, sir. Let me give you a hand.” Without saying a word, he gave her a smile. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit down. Then she put his cane against the table so that he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice, he said, “Thank you, Miss.”

“You’re welcome, sir.” she replied, “I will be back in a moment, and if you need anything, just wave at me!”

After he had finished a good meal, Mary brought him the change. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Comeback and see us, sir!” The old man turned around and smiled.

When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under the plate, she found a business card, a 100-dollar bill and a note. The note said, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness.”

In fact, the old man was the owner of the restaurant. That was the first time that Mary, or any of his waitresses, had seen him.

This is such a heart-warming piece of news in the cold winter. Some days ago, the temperature was only -6℃ in Kaifeng, Henan. Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those cleaning workers who are clearing snow on the road nearby and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food.” When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.

The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer Mr. Zhang and gave him a reward of ¥500. Although he had to raise his newly-born baby and pay for his house every month, Mr. Zhang said he would surely continue (继续) delivering love.

Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love delivery makes our life better and more beautiful.

“Come and have a look. My things are really good and cheap!” The sounds are from a middle school in Hunan. It is the school’s flea market（跳蚤市场）. Students like it very much. And they have it on the fourth Friday every month.
