“Today, I experienced a truly touching moment,” he shared in the video caption.
“A customer came to my shop with a Xiaomi 13 phone to sell. After asking him about it, I found out he wanted to sell his phone to get money for treating his leg.
“His leg was severely wounded due to diabetes, and he felt he had no choice but to sell his phone to afford the treatment,” he wrote.
“When I heard his story, I was almost brought to tears.”
Overcome with empathy, Boss Lee decided to help in a way the customer hadn’t expected.
“In the end, I told him, “Don’t sell your phone. I’ll give you the money to treat your leg.”
“At that moment, he broke down in tears after hearing what I said,” he stated.
“I also told him that if he ever faced difficulties, he could come to my shop or contact me anytime.
