( Wait thirteen seconds. )

A Chinese boy tries to steal medicine for his mother. The pharmacist (?) catches him and berates him. A nearby shopkeeper pays for the medicine and boy runs off with it.

Thirty years later the shopkeeper collapses from a stroke (?) ( heart attack ? )
and…

well,
watch the rest yourself.

A Chinese boy…

Thai, actually. But still a great commercial.

Wonderful.

Thai, actually. But still a great commercial.

I did wonder why China would call attention to the poor. Seems like they’d want to get away from that image politically speaking.

Anyways,

if somebody is looking for a good story to write,
there it is.
I won’t touch myself. Promise.
