A "charity wall" collecting spare clothes and books for people in need recently appeared on a Beijing street, the Beijing Morning Post reported recently.
The wall, which is located in Beijing’s Chaoyang district, was initiated as a charity platform. People can put clothes, books, toys or other goods beside the wall, and those in need can take them for free.
When the wall was first set up, few people noticed it. But now more and more people are donating. Some even travel all the way across the city to make a donation.
"It is a great way to re-purpose certain items and provide convenience for others, no matter who takes the stuff away," a Beijing citizen surnamed Wang praised the charity.
"I think it is good because it helps people like me to save money," added a beneficiary of the wall.
According to the wall’s founder, she even received a thank-you note recently. Now she is more determined than ever to move forward with the wall as more people are taking part in this outreach.
