An elderly Chinese couple gives their village their whole savings of Rs. 12 crore

In general, it is advised to start saving from one’s pay as soon as they begin to make money rather than using it all immediately. Savings are made with the intention of investing them later in life, purchasing property, or using them in an emergency. Similar to this, an old Chinese couple saved money their whole lives, and what they did with it in the future would warm your heart.
