“Teacher “carries bricks to build school” and returns 24 million VND to the person who dropped them” is such a news article in Lao Dong. The main character is teacher Nguyen Van Nhan at Noc Ong Binh school, Tra Don commune, Nam Tra My mountainous district of Quang Nam province.
On a trip back to school with his students, he accidentally picked up a carefully wrapped plastic bag that had fallen at a grocery store. When he opened it, Mr. Nhan saw that inside the bag were bills with denominations of 500,000 VND, 200,000 VND and 100,000 VND.
Knowing that someone had dropped it, Mr. Nhan informed the people around him and left his personal phone number along with a message asking if anyone dropped it to contact him. As for himself, Mr. Nhan continued to return to the school and carefully checked the amount of money in the bag to verify with the owner later, to avoid returning it to the wrong person.
By the end of November, the owner of the bag of money had contacted and received the full amount of 24 million VND.
Or another news story tells the story of Mr. Hoang Hiep - owner of a one-rice restaurant in Lam Son ward, Thanh Hoa city - trying to contact and return nearly 270 million VND to a customer who had lunch at his family's restaurant a week ago.
That meal only cost 270,000 VND, but the customer scanned the QR code and mistakenly transferred 270 million VND. And it has been almost a week, and the customer still hasn't discovered that he paid the wrong amount.
This is not the first time, because Mr. Hoang Hiep, according to the story, has tried many ways to return such mistakenly transferred money to customers, sometimes up to 400 million VND.
Mr. Hiep's act of returning money is extremely meaningful and worthy of respect, especially when compared to many other cases of mistaken transfers that were not returned.
For example, Mr. Nguyen Hung in Long An recently paid the seller 450 million VND for the wrong goods. And then, despite asking the police to intervene, he still could not get his money back with the seller's answer "you did it yourself, you bear the consequences".
Or with teacher Nguyen Van Nhan, the nobility of the act of returning found money is multiplied many times when readers know the reality: Teacher Nhan is very poor, life is very difficult with a truly "meager" teacher's salary.
“Finding lost property and returning it to its owner” is of course the first lesson for each of us. But that first lesson - something that seems obvious, is in reality a dream, a destination. Because in reality, as folklore has it, “There are few Thạch Sanhs but many Lý Thôngs”.
So the stories about teacher Nguyen Van Nhan in Nam Tra My district of Quang Nam or the owner of the restaurant Hoang Hiep in Thanh Hoa are still seeds of goodness sown on newspaper pages, bringing readers pleasant emotions, making them look at and think about life more beautifully and positively.
And fortunately, such good seeds have been and are increasingly appearing in newspapers in the direction of "educational stories" or "positive stories" rather than "strange stories" like before!
