An act of kindness neither requires permission, nor expects thanks — but Wu Song never imagined a little gesture would move so many. The Chinese police officer became somewhat of an Internet celebrity — and an object of admiration for many — overnight after a photo of him quietly lending a wheelchair user a hand (literally) gained traction on China’s Twitter-like Weibo.

Wu Song, 25, gave a helping hand to a metro rider in a wheelchair after his mode of transport slid precariously in the carriage while the train was running.
Wu pulled the wheel with his left hand and also stretched his left foot out to fix the wheel at the same time.
The scene was captured on film by a fellow passenger, surnamed Dong, and uploaded online. Dong said Wu held the man, in the wheelchair, in position, for four to five stations.
He added that Wu performed the act quite naturally, without thinking, and continued to listen to music on his phone without a minimum of fuss.

Netizens on social media applauded the kind voluntary act and commented that it was “a helpful act conveying infinite love.”
“Our society does not lack compassion, it lacks the eyes to find it and the words that praise it,” a user who goes by the name @xihuangdeyangzi commented.
“Chengdu is now more beautiful because of him,” another user @qingqingqing said.
With benevolence and beauty, Wu also seemed to tick the right boxes for plenty of online bachelorettes.
“Does he have a girlfriend?” inquired @xiaojie.
“He is the most beautiful man I have ever seen,” @amingaGirl stated.
