Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines上头条 for her generous and honest act举动/行为. The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag塑料袋 near a chair and discovered 100,000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to决定 return the money to its owner主人. When interviewed采访 by the local paper yesterday, Chen said “I would have felt bad if I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly极其/非常.” While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in上交. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng. Wang thanked Chen repeatedly反复地 and apologised道歉 for the inconvenience不便之处, even offering her 5,000yuan as a reward报酬.
To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept接受 money that she had not earned赚. But what is even more surprising, perhaps可能, is that Chen’s daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently最近 seriously严重地 ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings存款 on the ongoing不断的 treatments治疗 and has also taken out a large loan贷款. Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in介入. Living in the same apartment building公寓楼 as Chen’s family, Ma was well aware of意识到 Chen’s difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen’s situation情况, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu’s hospital bills账单. Chen Liyan’s example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely肯定 isn’t everything. And that’s a great attitude态度 to take. Now, in other news, one city in.
