Rich Chinese man builds free luxury flats for poor people in the town where he grew up

A 54 year old Chinese businessman Xiong Shuihua
did something amazing for the community where he
grew up in Xinyu, Southern China. He paid to
bulldoze all the wooden huts in the area then spent
millions replacing them with an estate of luxury
flats for the residents.
In total, he housed 72 families to repay them for
their kindness towards him while he was growing
up. He's also giving villas costing about £4m
pounds to another 18 families who were particularly
kind to him. In addition, elderly and low paid
residents will also be given three meals a day for
free.
According to reports, five years ago, the place was
run down with muddy roads, but now that he's
making millions from the steel industry, he decided
to repay the favour his neighbours showed him.
Xiong Shihua said he could afford the project
because he had earned more money than he knew
what to do with.
