In Shenzhen's Futian district, rows of green cabinets provide free food around the clock. Launched in 2022, south China's Guangdong Province's first "food bank" initiative has helped more than 500,000 people. With app reservations, proxy pickup, and an "8 PM Cinderella rule" – no food is wasted, no dignity compromised. The initiative has sparked heated discussion among overseas netizens: "Food is a right, not a privilege." "There's so much we should learn from China – this should be implemented everywhere." Government sets the stage, businesses contribute, everyone shares. CGTN reporter Zang Shijie witnessed the smiles on every beneficiary's face. This city is more than skyscrapers and high tech – it's about everyday warmth.
