On March 17, 2026, in Guangzhou, Guangdong, the video captured an unusual and emotional scene inside a local restaurant. A customer had brought a gray goose to the venue for a meal. As the goose was placed in the shop, two white geese kept by the restaurant approached and began circling around it.

The video ended with the rescued gray goose remaining at the restaurant, spared and joining the two white geese that appeared to have saved it.
