Entrepreneur builds 72 free homes for people in his home village, Xinyu, Jiangxi Province, China – 25 Nov 2014
People are seen moving into their new homes ? 72 villas paid for by a local entrepreneur – in Xiongken Village, Xinyu, eastern China’s Jiangxi Province. The villas were paid for by Xiong Shuihua, a local businessman, for 36 million Yuan and given away free to villagers. Real estate developer Xiong was born into a carpenter’s home in the village in 1955 and Xiong say she was influenced by his parents who loved to help others. In 2010 the village suffered from a severe flood and when Xiong returned and saw the shabby and tumbledown houses he decided to build free homes for the villagers. Besides free housing, Xiong also provides free meals for pensioners in the village, a recreational center and free hospital visits.
