Inspiring ad: The spirit of giving without expecting anything in return
October 11, 2013 Leave a comment
To some viewers, this three-minute video, produced by Thai telecommunications companyTrueMove, can evoke more emotions than a full-length Hollywood movie. According to Gawker, the inspiring ad, which stems from the company’s belief in the spirit of giving without expecting anything in return, has sparked major buzz since it was posted on YouTube just four days ago, on 11 September. It tells a story of how a veggie soup seller gets rewarded for a lifetime of being a good samaritan, especially when he helped a boy, who was caught shoplifting medicine for his sick mother. The man paid for the boy’s medicine, and even gave him a pack of soup for the mother. He was rewarded 30 years later, when he was struck by what appears to be heart attack. The doctor handling his treatment turned out to be the boy whom he had helped. As a reward, the boy paid for the medical expenses of close to S$30,000. The most moving scene comes at around the second minute of the video when the soup seller’s daughter, who never seemed happy with her father’s generosity, appeared deeply touched by the kind reward. She cried while reading the hospital bill.
