Former TVB actress Natalie Tong is back in the spotlight – this time for a heartwarming act of kindness.

Tong was recently captured on video helping an elderly woman and a middle-aged lady who were struggling to push a cart overloaded with cardboard and other recyclables.

The video, uploaded on social media, quickly went viral, according to Dimsum Daily.

Reportedly, the footage shows the 44-year-old stopping her car, getting out, and helping the women push the heavy cart back onto the pavement. 

Once she ensured they were able to manage on their own, she returned to her vehicle.

The entire exchange is said to have lasted only a few seconds, but the gesture left a big impression.

Netizens have since praised Tong for being “kind-hearted” and “genuinely compassionate”.

Since leaving TVB in 2022, Tong has explored new ventures – including opening a Japanese bakery – and is currently said to preparing for her debut in theatre.
