A man using salt wrote a huge "壽", Chinese character of longevity, on a nine-meter red cloth in Qianfo Mountain scenic spot in Jinan city, Shandong province.

The man named Wei Lihai from Liaocheng city, Shandong province is an inheritor of Chinese sand art. He went to Jinan to celebrate the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival which falls on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, with the seniors. The Chinese character cost him five kilograms salt.

In our final story, boy's emotional words generate outpouring of donation.
