Hangzhou stall is everyone's cup of tea

A herbal tea stall in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, that offers passers-by free drinks in summer has attracted a large group of thirsty and grateful supporters. The stall, operating for 42 years, and its third-generation owner Gu Zhonggen are a familiar sight for local residents. The 81-year-old Gu is in charge of the tea stall every summer. He has been running the nonprofit outlet since it first started. Inspired by Gu, volunteers from all walks of life, are helping out at the stall. The number of "waiters" and "waitresses" at the stall has expanded to 103. The nonprofit group now benefits tens of thousands of people during the scorching heat of summer.
