Last year, a mysterious rich boss opened a steamed bun shop in Shishi City, Fujian Province, and put up an eye-catching sign: "All the steamed buns in our store are given to various poor people for free. It is not for sale to the public, please understand. If you are a laid-off worker with a difficult life, a poor family with a low income, a graduate looking for a job, a helpless elderly person, a homeless person, or a scavenger, you are welcome to eat for free." This week, many media focused on this caring steamed bun shop, but still failed to reveal the mystery of the owner.

This love steamed bun shop, which opened in August last year, has only two employees and delivers more than 1,000 steamed buns for free every day. Except for the 10 days it was closed during the Spring Festival, it gave away almost 350,000 steamed buns in the past year, spending 400,000 yuan. The staff of the steamed bun shop said that the equipment and raw materials for making steamed buns are all high-end goods, and the expenses and store rental costs are all borne by an owner who wishes to remain anonymous and is still hidden behind the scenes. From the opening to the present, reporters from all walks of life have been looking for traces of this mysterious rich man, but no one knows his name so far. m

Although occasionally there are people pretending to be poor to come and take advantage of small things, the Love Steamed Bun Shop has basically had relatively stable funding targets. The two shop assistants have made friends with more than 200 "poor relatives" of different identities in one year, bringing some warmth to their difficult lives. What is gratifying is that after the story of free steamed buns was reported by the media, some people wrote letters to express their gratitude, some came from afar to "support", some wanted to donate money, and some wanted to come here to volunteer. However, due to the boss's prior explanation, they have not accepted help from outside for the time being, and even the thank-you letters they received have been hidden in the cabinet and not intended to be shown to anyone.

However, to this day, there are still some people who are skeptical about free steamed bun shops, thinking that giving away free steamed buns is hype or a show, and even pretend to wait to see it go bankrupt. In fact, what these doubters don't understand is that not all philanthropists want to be high-profile "Chen Guangbiao". There is a kind of charity called silent charity. The person involved does not want to be overly noticed, but just wants to do what he can, and seeks spiritual comfort. Despite the controversy, the owner of the steamed bun shop still has no plans to show up to respond. The only thing he plans to do is to open another branch so that more disadvantaged groups can eat free steamed buns.
