Luan Liwei, a man from Shandong, heroically rescued three drowning children in the Yongding River in Langfang, Hebei, but sadly lost his life due to exhaustion, drawing widespread attention. The 41-year-old had previously run a hotpot restaurant in Beijing with his wife, and recently, during meal times, the restaurant has been bustling with customers, often requiring them to wait in line.
So, what are the people waiting in line outside the hotpot restaurant really there for? They are not simply there to eat; they want to pay tribute to the hero in this way. It reflects kindness being reciprocated, a spiritual resonance sparked by love.
Luan Liwei's selfless act of saving three children embodies great love and is a natural response of a good person. As people spontaneously line up in front of the hero's restaurant, it is also a fundamental reaction. Essentially, it demonstrates the widespread societal recognition of the values reflected in the sacrifice made by the restaurant owner.
The long line outside the hotpot restaurant is a sincere expression of appreciation for acts of bravery and kindness, a simple way to thank a good person.
Notably, after Luan Liwei's passing, his wife explicitly refused to accept donations from the public. However, some kind-hearted citizens still attempted to leave money at the restaurant, running away after doing so. The staff had to chase after them to return the money.
Luan's strong and independent wife is truly admirable; perhaps this is why people are lining up outside the restaurant. This is not just about helping the hero's family but expressing their deepest respect for them.
In recent years, more and more "good people" in China have come to our attention, such as Gu Zihong, a railway patrol officer who saved drowning victims during inspections, Peng Qinglin, a delivery man from Zhejiang who jumped off a bridge to rescue a woman in distress, and Cai Wen, an engineer who tragically lost his life after rescuing two people from a sewage well.
Like Luan Liwei, they appear to be ordinary individuals, but in life-and-death situations, they shine as "ordinary heroes," faithfully inheriting and actively practicing traditional virtues.
Whenever people hear about the touching stories of these good individuals, they instinctively give them a thumbs up, just like the enthusiastic citizens in front of the hotpot restaurant. They share their stories on social media and "line up" in the comments section.
The long line outside the hotpot restaurant will continue to spread love and hope, inspiring more people to lend a helping hand in critical moments and illuminating others with kindness and courage.
