Female ‘superhero’ helps Beijing’s homeless
The woman calls herself “Chinese Redbud Woman” and started a microblog on Weibo to chronicle her adventures.
Her first entry read: “Today is my first day as the Chinese Redbud Woman, feeling a little nervous.
“Already prepared the military coats and food for the elderly, also many thanks to the hand warmer friend gave me.”
She was seen outside a bookstore, at the subway station and other places distributing warm clothing and other items to beggars and other homeless people.
Her unusual approach to doing good caught the attention of Beijing residents and netizens alike.
When asked about her true identity, the Chinese Redbud Woman told a reporter via her microblog that it did not matter who she was, and emphasised that what she was doing was not a publicity stunt.
She added that she “just wanted to help these people who are in need”.
