'Starbucks uncle' captures Hong Kong hearts during flooding...

Heavy rains brought flooding to parts of Hong Kong this week, but that was not enough not to stop one elderly man from enjoying his newspaper and coffee.

A photo showing the old man sitting unaffected in a flooded Starbucks outlet in Chai Wan district went viral after TV Most shared it on their Facebook page.

A caption in Chinese on their post read: "Huh? The newspaper said that it would be raining today! But I forgot to bring my umbrella."

The sentiment resonated with Facebook users also tackling the floods, generating more than 18,000 reactions and 1,500 comments. More + photos...
