This person had also spend most his time on the street as a young teenager. Living life on the street is hard mention, "Zing Toa Boon." This person is a hero to me because he has a good heart to many kids. He setup many programs and fundraiser to help raise money to bring each kid in Hong Kong to a home.

It brings breakfast, lunch, and dinner to old people who can't get out because they're too weak. He is also very generous towards my sister,cousin, and me. He helps fix things around my house and other people's houses for free. He owns a lot of land which he also owns houses on. If the people who live in the house pay the rent a little late he doesnÍt make them pay extra. He understands that money was low that month and that they would pay it back when they had more money. He is very considerate. When I grow up I want to be just like him. |
