Recently, a heartwarming video of a bun rieu shop owner’s gesture went viral. The video captured the moment when the shop owner generously offered a meal to a deliveryman out of kindness.
The shop owner insisted it was a gift for the deliveryman’s lunch, which took the man by surprise. Over 2.3 million viewers and 200,000 likes flooded in, moved by the shop owner’s act of kindness.
Netizens were touched by the story, praising the shop owner’s compassionate deed. One person even mentioned how the choice of the word ‘present’ instead of ‘give’ made the gesture even more special.
The shop owner in focus is Nguyen Hai Anh, who runs a bun rieu shop in Hanoi. Anh shared his surprise at the attention the video received from the public.
He is known for offering free meals to delivery people and those in need as a way to create positive memories and connections.
Despite facing challenges when he first opened his shop in 2018, Anh’s business gradually prospered. He now serves 150-170 bowls of bun rieu daily.
Anh’s generosity extends beyond the shop’s walls. He began giving away free food to the needy from the very start. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, Anh continued his charitable efforts.
Since reopening his shop in 2023, Anh displays a sign offering free bun rieu to certain groups, encouraging others to participate in charity work.
Anh’s altruistic nature is further highlighted by his decision to donate a portion of his sales to help those in need, showing a selfless dedication to giving back.
Despite not expecting anything in return, Anh’s acts of kindness have left a lasting impact on those he has helped, garnering heartfelt gratitude from many.
