The Millionaire Who Rebuilt a Village
Have you ever fantasized about becoming a millionaire and surprising all the people that were there for you along the way? Well this is the recent story of a man who did just that, and in a splendid way.
54-year-old Xiong Shuihua was born in a little village called Xiongkeng, in Southern China. Many times during his childhood, he recalls, the kind villagers helped him and his family, when they were going through hard times. In time, he grew to become a successful businessman who made millions in the steel industry.
The business tycoon recently headed back to his home village. These were the huts and dirty houses the poor villagers had to live in.
They only had dirt roads filled with mud, and heaps of old debris everywhere.
Xiong saw this and decided to change the lives of these kind villagers forever.
“I earned more money than I knew what to do with, and I didn’t want to forget my roots. I always pay my debts, and wanted to make sure the people who helped me and my family when I was younger were paid back.” He said.
He had all the huts torn down and instead built luxury apartments and villas for all the villagers.
He then replaced the muddy dirt roads with nicely paved streets.
And just that, this poor village turned into a completely different place.
