The Tajik people never lock their doors at night because no one will steal.

If somebody drops something on the vast grassland, a Tajik person would wait for hours for the owner to return or put the lost item on a tall pile of stones so people could easily see it from a distance.

"Tajiks are the most honest people I have ever met and I have learned so much from them," Wang said.
