In a famous passage from the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples that when giving alms, they shouldn’t let their left hand know what their right hand is doing, proof that in the west at least, bragging about a good deed has been in poor taste for a very long time. There’s a saying like that in Chinese too, which, roughly translated, says that a do-gooder should disappear after their good deed is done. One man in the Chinese city of Hangzhou decided to go against this ancient bit of wisdom, and found that in doing so, he’s gotten himself a lot of publicity he wasn’t looking for.
