Is this “pouring out” donation worth encouraging?
A reporter from Chinanews.com visited Chang Moumou’s home and found that the elderly’s living conditions were rudimentary.

But Tie Yabing further added that the law does not clearly stipulate under what circumstances donors may not donate, and “whether to donate” and “how much to donate” belong to the personal free choice of the donor.
Li Yanan, a lawyer from Ningxia New Zhongyuan Law Firm, called on all sectors of society to give more care to the disadvantaged groups and lend a helping hand in times of difficulty.
At the same time, she suggested that relevant groups should set a boundary standard and carefully choose whether to accept donations from donors who have difficulties in life.

People, I hope they can be treated kindly by the world.
