Homeowner moved by utilities worker's kindness

Tang Jiuliang, a resident of Yizheng, Jiangsu province, was moved to tears after hearing what Zhou Weizhong had done for him in the past decade.

One day in 1998, Zhou, an employee of the city's electrical power bureau, was ordered to cut off the power supply to a family that had not paid its electricity bill for several months.
