An elderly Chinese man in Taman Limbongan, Melaka, became emotional after receiving a visit from the children of an Islamic kindergarten who delivered a food package to him in conjunction with the Chinese New Year.
The touching moment was shared on TikTok by Pasti Al Falah Limbongan, showing a group of kindergarten children accompanied by their teachers visiting several Chinese households in the neighbourhood to hand out festive food parcels.
When they arrived at the uncle’s home, the children politely handed him the food package and shook his hand.
“We hope uncle stays healthy”
Shortly after receiving the parcel, the elderly man appeared visibly moved. He wiped away tears as the children said their goodbyes, before waving at them and slowly heading back into his house.
We pray for uncle’s good health,” read the simple caption on the video.
The sincerity of the moment deeply resonated with viewers online.
Netizens moved to tears too
At the time of writing, the video has garnered 1.1 million views, more than 129k likes, 4k comments and 7.2k saves.
Many praised the kindergarten and teachers for instilling compassion and unity in the children from a young age, especially during festive seasons.
Many netizens shared that they were touched by the uncle’s emotional reaction.
“Uncle’s face looked so emotional… Maybe he was reminded of his grandchildren. Kids from Pasti… thank you,” one commenter wrote.
“I feel sorry for this uncle… I always see him sitting outside his house, staring into the distance. I wonder what he’s thinking about… maybe he misses the love of his children.”
One particularly heartfelt comment, believed to be from the elderly man’s daughter, read:
“My father… thousands of thanks to the teachers and children. A small present can carry big care and love. I cried watching this video too.”
Some commenters also claimed to live in the same neighbourhood and said they often see the elderly man around, describing him as someone who usually keeps to himself.
In a multiracial country like Malaysia, moments like these serve as a powerful reminder that kindness knows no boundaries, and sometimes, the smallest gesture can mean the world to someone.
