Zhang Shengming is a local in Taiyuan, Shanxi. He is 52 years old. He set up a special community restaurant. In his restaurant, a bowl of noodles only costs one yuan. There are meat and vegetables in the noodles. If people are not full after the first bowl, the second comes free of charge. It has become a hit with the local people.

In Shanxi, a bowl of noodles usually costs at least seven to eight yuan. At the beginning, people thought it was fool to provide such a cheap meal. However, it was not to make money. When Zhang and his partners set up Yi Yuan Mian Guan in March 2022, the idea was to give back to the country and to society. They just wanted to try for three months. But it encouraged more people. They joined up and provided support too.

The staff here are also very special. At first, they were all customers, but later they volunteered to help out. “They don’t take a penny, yet they all work happily and cheerfully,’ Zhang said.

Zhang Jianping, a 67-year-old retired soldier, said: “I thought it was just a trick, so I decided to come and see for myself. Upon arriving and seeing it with my own eyes, I was truly touched.”

Zhang Shengming said that a noodle restaurant that operates at a loss can keep running because kindness is a very special thing. “This is not just a noodle shop, but more like a home for the elderly and volunteers. I feel happy running the restaurant here,” Zhang added. He hopes that more young people can join in and he is very willing to provide volunteering and internship (实习) chances for them.
