A company in China spent 200,000 yuan (US$28,000) transporting snow from the north to the south for children with special needs, warming the hearts on mainland social media.
Beijing Truck Home Information Technology, a truck service platform for commercial vehicles in northern China, gifted three truckloads of snow to the children of Guangzhou Xingzhi Chengzhang School.
Carrying 80 cubic metres of snow, the fleet spent four days driving 3,300km from the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province in northeastern China to Guangdong in the southeastern part of the country.
In the viral video, a group of people is seen shovelling snow into the trucks, then the fleet attaches banners with the message, “Let’s have a snow fight? Please wait for me, my friends in the south”, on the trucks.
“We’re giving the snow to a special school in the south, giving a chance for children to experience the fun of snow fighting and making snowmen,” an employee said.
