Woman Goes Viral Collecting Wedding Leftovers to Feed Over 120 Rescued Cats
A 27-year-old woman in China has gone viral for collecting leftovers from strangers’ wedding banquets to feed more than 120 rescued stray cats.
Known as Xuanxuan, she spent three years attending about 100 weddings, making sure untouched food was saved instead of wasted each time.
Xuanxuan, from Baoshan in Yunnan province, once struggled with social anxiety while working part time as a video editor.
In 2022, she began rescuing cats she found shivering outdoors. Over time, her home gradually transformed into a shelter filled with needy animals.
At first, Xuanxuan paid for everything herself, with daily feeding costs topping 300 yuan (around $41). But when she attended a wedding, she saw untouched dishes being thrown away.
That moment sparked her ‘Leftover Rescue Plan,’ saving food from waste and feeding her growing shelter.
For three years, she attended banquets roughly every ten days. At her busiest, she carried home up to 30 kilograms of untouched food.
Back home, she re steamed meals to reduce oil and salt, saving up to 2,000 yuan monthly (around $284) while cutting food waste.
“I’ve always experienced a bit of social anxiety. Every time I open my mouth, it takes a lot of courage,”
“But thinking of all the cats waiting at home motivated me to step out and face the public. They’ve given me the courage to break out of my shell, ” she added.
Punch has gone viral again after older monkeys comforted him following an accidental fall into a pond at the zoo.
Caretakers later confirmed that he had fully recovered, eating well, playing with peers, and running around energetically as if nothing had happened.
Back in 2016, Park Geon Roung was one of the child actors who starred in the Baby Shark Dance video, which went on to become the most viewed YouTube video of all time.
He was just a kid then, and now at 17, he is showing the world just how beautifully time flies.
Geon Roung never stepped away from the spotlight. Since 2019, he has been part of Play With Me Club, a South Korean co-ed kids group, keeping his place in showbiz.
Fans who rediscovered him recently were stunned, with many saying he now looks just like a K-pop idol.
The ‘Baby Shark’ video was uploaded to YouTube in June 2016 by Pinkfong, a South Korean education brand.
It quickly became a staple in nursery schools and a go-to distraction for parents of toddlers worldwide, turning into one of the most recognizable children’s songs of its generation.
For many who grew up watching that video on repeat, seeing Geon Roung at 17 is a quiet reminder of how fast kids grow up.
One day they are dancing to baby shark, and before you know it, they are teenagers the internet is falling in love with.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is going viral after visiting Punch, the baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.
She posted the moment on her Instagram Story, showing full love to the beloved viral monkey. The photos spread across social media almost immediately.
What made the visit even more special was what Lisa brought with her.
She carried an orangutan plush toy identical to the one Punch is famous for clutching, the same toy that once comforted a baby monkey rejected by his mother and turned him into a global sensation.
