?? 独居老人五元剪发，店主假装答应事后坚决拒收硬币 ?? The Kind Lie: Barber Accepts 5 Yuan to Give Elderly Man Dignity

An elderly grandfather lingered outside a hair salon for a long time. He entered the shop to ask if he could get a haircut for 5 yuan, without washing or blow-drying. The shop owner's next move instantly warmed people to tears. Mr. Tang: "At that time, Grandpa had been lingering outside the door for a quite a while. Then he came in and asked if it would be okay to just cut it for 5 yuan without washing or blow-drying. I was afraid that if I told Grandpa it was free, he would refuse me, so I agreed, which reminded me of the elderly in my own family. But in the end, Grandpa still insisted on shoving the 5 yuan to me, and I didn't accept it either. From now on, when we are not busy, seniors over 70 years old who come to cut their hair will not be charged any haircut fee."
