A hotel owner in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, is giving free breakfasts every morning to 30 street cleaners since February 2012, the Huashang Daily reported on Tuesday.

Zhao Yuxiu, the hotel owner who lost her job and created her own business in 1992, opened the hotel at the beginning of 2012.

She decided to do something for the street cleaners after she heard the sound of sweeping at about 4 am as she slept in the hotel one night.
