Islamic kindergarten children brought CNY food packets to elderly Chinese man in Melaka, touching hearts

AN elderly Chinese man was moved to tears when a group of Islamic kindergarten students visited his home in Taman Limbongan, Melaka, bringing Chinese New Year food packets as a gesture of goodwill.

The heartwarming moment was captured in a video shared on TikTok by Pasti Al Falah Limbongan, showing the young children accompanied by their teachers going door-to-door to visit Chinese families in the neighbourhood during the CNY celebration.

In the clip, the children handed over food packets to the elderly gentleman and greeted him warmly. Overcome with emotion, the man began crying before waving and retreating into his home.

“We pray uncle stays healthy,” read the simple caption accompanying the video.

The post quickly gained traction online, with many viewers expressing their own emotional reactions to the touching scene. Several commenters claimed to be residents of the same housing area and shared their observations about the elderly man.

TikTok user Rasman Mohd. Dali wrote that he often sees the uncle sitting alone outside his house, appearing deep in thought, possibly missing his children.

Another user, Renzo, confirmed living in the same neighbourhood, noting that the elderly man frequently sits in front of his home and waves at passing children, seemingly longing for company.

“I cannot watch things like this. Really touching,” commented user Nurlias87.

User Fauziah9484 shared, “Uncle cried, and I cried too.”

Snkhalifah added, “Uncle cried, and the sadness reached all the way here.”

The video highlights the spirit of unity and compassion during festive celebrations, with the young children bringing joy to an elderly neighbour who appeared to be living alone.
