One man's lost-and-found service

Qiu Shenghua, 66, is carefully counting his money to purchase stamps at a post office in Xinyang, Henan province.

"I'd like to buy 20 1.2-yuan stamps, 10 0.8 yuan stamps, and 100 envelopes, which altogether is 42 yuan ($6.93)," says Qiu after counting up the amount of mail he has to post.

Qiu is not sending letters or postcards, he is buying the stamps and envelopes to mail the identification cards and certificates he has found on the street while collecting scrap.
