A young lady wearing tight clothes, a black silk cloak and a blue mask appeared on Christmas Eve in Beijing to distribute food and clothing to homeless people on the streets.

The woman, calling herself the 'Redbud Heroine of Beijing' (copying the 'Redbud Heroine' in Hong Kong), helped four homeless people that night, giving each of them a long coat, some food and some cash, reported the Beijing News.

According to Mr Tang, an urban management officer, the girl was about 1.7 metres tall and quite slim. 'When she was helping a female beggar, there were two guys, in their 20s I guess, taking photos for her. They seemed to know each other.'

'I believe the girl is doing good deed,' Tang added.
