A Chinese commercial trucking company paid nearly $30,000 to truck thousands of pounds of snow from the frozen northern city of Harbin to a special needs school in the tropical southern metropolis of Guangzhou.

Officially, it was Beijing Truck Home Information Technology's demonstration run of their refrigerated trucks, but for the drivers and staff who participated in the event, it was all about seeing the children's joy.

Leaving Harbin on January 28th, the convoy drove 1,960 miles, or 3,300 kilometers, arriving at Xingzhi Children's Growth Center on February the 1st.

The trucks then dumped out the snow and gave almost 2,000 children with autism and other impairments the chance to experience snow for the first time ever.

"We're giving the snow to a special school in the south, giving a chance for children to experience the fun of snow fighting and making snowmen," an employee of the trucking company said.

Teachers at the school told Red Star News that some of the kids at Xingzhi will never be able to see snow. It's too far away, and their parents don't have the resources.

"It was a nature lesson. Usually, we give them pictures in class and tell them that this is snow and this is a snowman," one teacher said. "They really saw the real thing this time."

Another teacher told South China Morning Post that "they had a great time".

According to SCMP, these kinds of positive stories spread like wildfire on Chinese social media, and the comments section was filled with well-wishes to the company for thinking of these disadvantaged kids.

"The snow may be cold, but everyone's heart has completely melted," one commenter siad poetically.
