Ingratitude personified at its greatest

A Chinese national minimart owner donated $20 000 worth of groceries to the needy out of the kindness of his own heart, but his gesture was not appreciated and was even complained about. Such ungrateful locals! He took the trouble to do it even though he could have been like any other minimart owner. Is it so hard to say even a word of thanks?! Some even lament the insufficiency of the goods and the fact that he did not open his minimart early in the morning. The audacity and greed of such people stun me. Some others take advantage of him by hoping to get a salary through working for him or by attempting to get free goods in pretending to be blind.

At the same time, I feel a comment was misinterpreted by him and his wife. The lady who explained why they should not have given free groceries is not wrong. The recipients will just use those goods to earn a profit for themselves.

After such ingratitude and unscrupulous reactions to his good deed, he has learnt his lesson and limited his donations to once per month. :) Still, his aspirations have soared to the skies. He wants to host a free clinic for old people at his minimart. These 2 businesses don't complement each other though. The free delivery service sounds feasible but the free set of cheap toothpaste and toothbrush to those aged over 50 will probably cause complaints again, knowing how materialistic most locals are.

His plans are noble but I hope such goodwill will survive this cynical society around him.

An update on him was reported some time later. He started a free breakfast service and again, people started to complain. They chose to see the flaws in his project instead of appreciating his compassionate heart. Granted, he had chosen the wrong setting to carry it out, but the criticism smacks of insensible ingratitude. He has now planned to change the setting to a stall.

He is unbelievably understanding towards his critics and feels that the reason for their criticism is due to the fact that he had not met their expectations. What expectations? The people who complain are the financially stable ones. His compassion was not originally extended to them.
