Year-ender: 10 awe-inspiring stories in China
Six-year-old Zhou Botao and his kindergarten friends in Mengman township of Mengla county of Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province found a wallet while playing outside.
Zhou immediately ran to tell his grandmother and then hurried back with his mother to the place where the wallet had been found. They couldn't find any identifying markings on the wallet and nobody around claimed to be the owner.
That's when Zhou told his mother that he wanted to hand over the wallet to the police. So his mother and elder sister accompanied him to the Mengman border police station. The officers confirmed there was more than 2,000 yuan ($280) in the wallet and praised Zhou for his honesty.
Eventually, the police were able to contact the owner and return the wallet.
