Murat Telek shares pizza with homeless boy in Shanghai in video which goes viral

A Turkish businessman's exemplary kindness was caught on camera during a social experiment in China.

Murat Telek, 47, invited a homeless child to eat at his table and stopped the waiter from kicking him out of the restaurant. He is seen in the video sharing a pizza with the boy.

Telek has been living in Shanghai for 17 years selling radiators produced by a Turkish company.

"The manager of the restaurant came and asked the child to stand up while he was sitting with me. I felt uncomfortable because this would be like humiliating him," Telek told Anadolu Agency.

"Chinese are very pleased that a foreigner gave this reaction. People I meet called me 'Turkish brother' and 'Turkish uncle'," he said.

The footage was released four years ago but became viral on the internet recently.
