A landlord's five-year search for his tenant

A 70-year-old landlord found the owner of five bankbooks carrying a deposit of 38,000 yuan five years after his tenant left them behind in his rented apartment.

Zheng Pumin, a resident of Haikou, Hainan province, found the bankbooks, with passwords to the accounts, in 2004. They belonged to a tenant named Wang Chongshu, who had recently moved out.
