Huang Daxun, who found on the street a wallet filled with cash and bank account details, visited five villages to try to find the wallet's owner.

The good Samaritan, surnamed Huang, 52, found the owner in Jixian county, Henan province, on Wednesday.

The wallet had 9,800 yuan ($1,430) inside, plus two bankbooks that added up to 31,000 yuan. The books had the man's name and passwords.

"I could have pocketed the money, but I couldn't go against my conscience," Huang told reporters.

Huang, a farmer, then rode his bike through five nearby villages to locate the owner.
