Tapescript
Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.
The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plasic bag near a chair and discovered 100,000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
When inteviewed 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."
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. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the incovenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughler, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately, Ma Dengbao, who works at the police station stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen' s difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills.
Chen Liyan's cxample shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definately isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take.

Discussion
1. What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is
2. Did Chen return the money because she didn't need it
3. ls it common for people to do what Chen did
Generous and honest. Because she returned a large sum of money to the owner.
No. She returned the money because it was the right thing to do. Evidence for this is that she refused to accept the reward money because she felt that it had not been earned.
It depends on the culture, In some countries it is quite common to return money that has been found. In other countries, people believe “Finders are keepers!"
4. How did Wang Zheng feel about the return of his money
5. Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen's family
6. How did the news reporter feel about Chen's actions
He must have been very happy and relieved to have gotten his money back. We know this because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward.
He must have had great sympathy for Chen and her daughter and wanted to help them. We know this because he arranged help for them.
The news reporter felt that it showed that money wasn't the most important thing in life. We know this because the reporter told us that this is what Chen believes, and then said, "that's a great attitude to take."
