This is not the usual kind of video you get from Apple news. Apparently three girls in Hong Kong have since last Christmas been voluntarily distributing 'tong sui' (sweet soup) to elderly people in the street, as well as stopping for a chat with them.
As one of the girls points out, they do this not just to feed the elderly people they encounter but also to provide a listening ear.
A random act of kindness in Hong Kong? Whatever next?

Aww those girls are super for doing what they do.
Very well done. If only more people just spend some time doing things like this in HK. Though I do sense that HK is also changing. It is not the money-making machine that it once was, and maybe this is karma...
This is so cool!
We love kindness from strangers, currently working on fundraising for our feature doc where we traveled the USA and relied on strangers for a home each night: http://kck.st/uHYJ3s.
