Businessman Donates 2,580 Yolk Pastries to Charity

Chen Yongcong, a businessman from Changhua County known for his "Black Hand Brand" yolk pastries, has made a significant charitable contribution, donating 2,580 pastries to the Changhua Home for the Destitute Children. The delivery was personally handled by Chen, his wife Yan Meihua, and his 85-year-old mother, Chen Guo Xiuxia, ensuring the treats arrived fresh for the children to enjoy before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Most were made fresh yesterday, and the insufficient quantity was made fresh early this morning, just to give the children the freshest yolk pastries.

Chen, who also runs a used car dealership and auto repair shop, ventured into selling yolk pastries during the pandemic, earning him the nickname "Black Hand Brand." He expressed his joy in being able to provide employment for his staff while also engaging in charitable work. This year's donation of 2,580 pastries follows a previous contribution of 2,400 pastries in 2024, demonstrating a consistent commitment to supporting the children at the charity center.

I originally ran a used car business and an auto repair shop. Because of the pandemic, I started selling yolk pastries, which is why they are called 'Black Hand Brand' yolk pastries.

Despite the busy Mid-Autumn Festival order season, Chen and his family prioritized this act of kindness. They prepared most of the pastries the day before, with additional batches made in the early morning to meet the quantity. Chen emphasized that his entire family participated, including his mother who helped with the filling, finding great satisfaction in being able to support both his employees and the community. Wang Zhenguang, director of the Changhua Home for the Destitute Children, expressed gratitude, stating that the pastries represent not just a treat but also the warmest blessings from society for the children.

The happiest thing is that selling yolk pastries allows employees to earn money and also do charity. In 2024, I donated 2,400 pastries to the Home for the Destitute Children, and this year I donated another 2,580, hoping that the children can eat them first.
