A freelance photographer in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, attracted millions of views with short videos about ordinary seniors on video-sharing platform Douyin in the past four months.

The videos are all about how Xu Kai took pictures of the aged people he came across on the street and at the end of each video, the 29-year-old gives the elderly subject a framed picture he took of them.

Some netizens leave messages below those short videos, saying Xu's example made them reminisce about their own grandparents. Others even imitated Xu in taking pictures for the seniors.
