Today is one of the 24th solar terms known as "Mang Zhong" (Grain in Ear). Mang Zhong is the third solar term of summer, and this period has entered the midsummer time, with significantly higher temperatures, abundant rainfall, high humidity, and sultry heat. It is advisable to open windows frequently for ventilation and breathing in fresh air, and avoid overcooling which can lead to heat-related illnesses. In terms of diet, light and cooling foods should be the focus, such as cucumber, bitter gourd, luffa, and amaranth.

Despite the recent heavy rainfall, volunteers have been diligently attending volunteer activities, ensuring that those in need in various districts receive nourishing food.

Caring for the Roadside Scavengers

"Auntie, hello! Would you like some bread? We have some leftover bread that we can give you!" A volunteer approached the scavenger old woman who was sorting cardboard on the side of the road. "Thank you! You can just leave it on the side, I'll have it after I'm done."

"Hello! We are here to distribute the leftover bread. Would you like to have some for a late-night snack?" The volunteer noticed a group of unfamiliar cleaners and proactively reached out to them. "Yes, thank you!" The cleaners were delighted to receive the bread.

Even on summer evenings, the volunteers tirelessly continued to distribute the food to those in need. Some volunteers came to help immediately after work, while others were students and retirees who joined in. Working together, they quickly shared the food with cleaners, scavengers, and the homeless, doing a good deed for society.
