Mastering Cantonese cuisine led this father out of poverty
[In partnership with: Southcn.com and GDToday]
In a village in rural Guangdong province, Zhu Nengqing once struggled to put food on the table after his wife and daughter were diagnosed with serious medical issues that left the family with a mountain of hospital bills. Today, he is a certified chef serving Cantonese dishes at the farm-to-table restaurant Xueshan Linyuan Agritainment. Zhu talks about how the Guangdong government’s Cantonese Cuisine Chef Training Programme gave him a way out of poverty, the means to provide a better life for his loved ones, and new goals to pursue.

Instead of asking for donations you worked hard and Government support.
😄😍
A true hero . So proud of you sir . You Wil be blessed .
Thank you sharing. What a blessing!!!
😢 I just wanted to hug him when he started to cry. That is such a lot for anyone to try and go through and all at once. Many would have given up. But he used it to propel him and his family forward. What a story!
The reporting doesn't explicitly mention it, only says various government subsidies, but I am pretty he is part of the poverty alleviation program, every sick and disabled member of his family has government benefit payment, and he was able to learn a skill and support the family. You have to work for it, but Western media will call it forced labor.
Cantonese Cuisine – saving lives + families.
Glad the government create opportunities for people who are willing to learn and improve themselves. So heart warming that he is having a much better life now. His endurance and hard work is all worth it.
Many blessings to this chef and his family.
加油。奋斗最终会得到成功。
mother was sick, wife was sick, daughter was sick, all at the same time, I can't even imagine how terrible he must have felt. But he never give up. Really amazing son, husband and a father.
Not sure if they are out of poverty though,..
It's heartbreaking seeing him sobbing injuredly…😭
I'm hungry!! yummy~
Sir you did not give up! You were tried and tested and you pass. Your hands pays off. 🙇♂️
So much respect for this men and his incredible straight and dedication. Always taking care of others. I wish life treat him well and give him all the credit and blessings the he deserves.
When the guy started talking about going without I lost it. Hopefully his luck keeps getting better.
Glad he and his family were able to recover.
How lonely he must have felt being the only adult male safeguarding everyone whilst he went to bed hungry. Whenever I think I’m going through hard times this story will be the source of inspiration.
My dad became the principal owner of the 2nd largest Chinese restaurant in Massachusetts. He grew up in abject poverty in Guandong, China. Thus anything is possible f you have the will, the knowledge of the rules and regulations, and the drive
