Rich Chinese man builds free luxury flats for poor people in the town where he grew up

A 54 year old Chinese businessman Xiong Shuihua did something amazing for the community where he grew up in Xinyu, Southern China. He paid to bulldoze all the wooden huts in the area then spent millions replacing them with an estate of luxury flats for the residents.

In total, he housed 72 families to repay them for their kindness towards him while he was growing up. He's also giving villas costing about £4m pounds to another 18 families who were particularly kind to him. In addition, elderly and low paid residents will also be given three meals a day for free.


According to reports, five years ago, the place was run down with muddy roads, but now that he's making millions from the steel industry, he decided to repay the favour his neighbours showed him. Xiong Shihua said he could afford the project because he had earned more money than he knew what to do with.

  15. am surprised am the first person to post a comment. now this is what u call kindness. real and effective. only wish people who have money ( talking Legal money) would realize that wealth was given to them by God and not a function of their work, coz there are many people working hard, legally and all but will never get rich. as for those with ill gotten wealth, expecting such an act of kindness is like expecting manna from heaven.

    ReplyDelete

  47. May God bless him more, so that he can do more. This man has amassed divine blessings with this singular act. This Saraka is one that all his generations will enjoy forever. These families will keep praying for him, their intercessions will be unending. Such humility, kindness and truthfulness is rare amongst his kind @ "Xiong Shihua said he could afford the project because he had earned more money than he knew what to do with"

  92. Xiong Shihua definitely has a good and kind heart.
    Hope our Nigerian billionaires / millionaires will take a cue and become benevolent towards the needy and down trodden.
    Having money in our clime has become a licence to oppress, intimidate and even kill.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Hmmmmmm.how thoughtful of him

    ReplyDelete
  94. Pastors, politicians can u see this?
    Let’s emulate good things.
    Someone can afford to buy N80m vehicle, when most people can’t afford 3 meals a day.

  105. Nobody can do this in Nigeria ,, they would rather chop all the money rather than help the poor. Even the people that helped them when they were nobody won't fit into their class anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  106. This is what money is meant for ..... Impacting people around you positively ......... Nigerians ....... Stop using your money to MARRY many WIVES ......

    ReplyDelete
  107. Our rich people should take a lesson from this. Take care of motherless babies instead of spending 80million on a jeep for "God's glory". Think WWJD

Dangote is d richest man in Africa, am not sure if he has a any charity organization, so many pastors are buying private jets, politicians are busy looting, buying houses in UK and US. Yet we are forgeting that there are millions of Nigerians who cannot afford daily meals. What has anyone done to better their lives?

  134. Nigerians can you see?? All those who were "gifted" oil blocks and keeping the money to themselves with more money than even their great grandchildren can spend! 90 families today are praying for this man and his family. Their children and grandchildren willl continue to remember him and his generosity and they will in turn do good deeds for others who would then also do good for even more people..can you see how this acts of kindness business works? But no they will be using to buy rolls royce, Bentley and bugatti to be driving on Lagos roads. I weep for Africa
