(Clearwisdom.net) One month ago, a young man from Hunan Province went to
Shenzhen City to do business. He found a big bag with 300,000 Yuan in cash on
the ground (500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in
China) and picked it up.
After a lot of effort he finally found the owner of the lost money and
returned it to him. The owner wanted to give him 10,000 Yuan to express his
gratitude, but the young man refused. The owner thought the young man might feel
the money was not enough, so he offered him 10,000 more. The young man still
refused. The owner was very impressed, as nowadays it is difficult to come
across a young man of such noble character. He offered to put up a notice in the
newspaper or on TV to show his appreciation.
"Don't praise me," replied the young man, "If you want to show your
appreciation, you should praise Falun Gong. I haven't started cultivation yet,
but one of my relatives is a practitioner and she told me to follow
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my life. Falun Gong practitioners are
truly good people. Had I not been influenced by her, I would not have returned
the money to you."
