All hope isn’t lost. With China making headlines for bridge collapses, violent protests, and greedy or indifferent officialdom, it’s easy to forget the thousands of kind and decent gestures that occur in every country, every day. Recently, user @揭露社会黑与白, which literally means “uncovering society’s black and white,” tweeted the following series of images and explanations. Many of these stories are not new, having made the rounds on the Chinese Web for months. Yet the collection of images quickly went viral, garnering over 24,000 retweets. Perhaps what some commenters said is true: Chinese society “needs these real sentiments” right about now. Tea Leaf Nation translates selected images.
