A refund of 13 yuan has flooded the internet, not only warming up job seeking graduates

It's really warm! "Recently, the owner of a Shaxian snack shop in Longgang, Shenzhen, Guangdong, refunded customers 13 yuan and went viral on the internet. According to reports, two fresh graduates who had just stepped out of school and were heading to Shenzhen to seek employment went to a Shaxian snack shop for dinner. In the evening, they received a refund message of 13 yuan on their mobile phones, with the note column saying "Come on, free of charge!" It turned out that the attentive snack shop operator recognized them as new job seekers and quietly refunded the meal fee. The shop owner said that treating them to a simple meal would warm their hearts a bit. The snack shop operator who silently refunded the meal money for job seeking graduates said that what he did was just a "little bit of kindness". But it was this seemingly insignificant kindness that made the two girls burst into tears. The warmth from strangers dispelled their initial fear and anxiety. The spontaneous small acts of kindness by ordinary citizens also reflect the warmth of a city. Young people, when they first enter society and face completely unknown environments and uncertain paths ahead, often feel mixed with anxiety and confusion in their hearts. A simple encouragement or a steaming free meal can become a glimmer of light illuminating their path forward. Some graduates come to unfamiliar cities with dreams, which may make it difficult to find their ideal jobs immediately, further exacerbating their anxiety. It is precisely because of this pain point that many cities have taken action and launched a series of targeted support measures. For example, Beijing Economic Development Zone provides a tiered housing service for undergraduate and above graduates seeking employment, which includes 7 days of free accommodation for job seekers, 3 months of free short-term rental for internships, and 3 years of discounted long-term rental for employment. These measures have effectively alleviated the urgent needs of graduates and conveyed the enthusiasm and friendliness of the city. Nowadays, competition between cities is no longer limited to "hard power" such as economic output and infrastructure, but more reflected in "soft power" such as humanistic care and social atmosphere. A city with warmth and warmth undoubtedly attracts more talents, unites people's hearts, and occupies an advantage in competition. Big cities are often a 'stranger society', and the more in such an environment, the more precious the kindness between people becomes. It also requires every ordinary person like a Shaxian snack shop owner to actively release kindness to others, 'a little bit warmer, a little bit'. One person's kindness triggers another person's emotions, a warmth drives more people to spread warmth, and our society will become more harmonious and beautiful as a result. (New Society)
