Hong Tao, a 26-year-old hairdresser from Zhengzhou, Henan Province said he was inspired by the story of a New York hairdresser who gave free haircuts to the city’s homeless, and decided to follow his example here in China.

The story of Mark Bustos, a famous stylist from New York, has been making headlines for giving free haircuts to the city’s homeless every Sunday. The story spread to countries across the world, and now other barbers have traveled to different places in the city to carry out this act of kindness.
