Business boomed at a street snack stall in China in a touching show of support for its owner whose son had died from cancer, leaving the man with three small children to look after.
Video clips of long queues in front of a tanghulu stall near the Shandong Institute of Petroleum and Chemical Technology, in eastern China’s Shandong province, went viral online.
People came to support the stall owner, surnamed Tian, whose 36-year-old son died from liver cancer this month.

Tian junior was diagnosed with late-stage cancer in September. The family borrowed money to treat him, but could not save his life.
Tian’s son left three young children aged between four and seven. He also has parents in their 90s to look after.
