Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.
The 45-year-old Chen was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100,000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
When interviewed by the local paper yesterday, Chen said,“I would have felt bad if I had kept the money. After all, the owner might have needed it badly."
While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours,but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner. Wang Zheng.
Listening text
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties. When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills.
Chen Liyan's example shows a different way of thinking about money. Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take.

语调即说话的腔调,就是一句话里声调高低抑扬轻重的配制和变化。世界上没有一种语言是用单一的声调说出的,以英语为例,英语有五种基本语调:升调( )、降调( )、升降调( )、降升调( )以及平调( )。
一句话除了词汇意义还有语调意义。所谓词汇意义就是话中所用词的意义,而语调意义就是说话人用语调所表示的态度或口气。一句话的词汇意义加上语调意义才算是完全的意义。同样的句子,语调不同,意思就会不同,有时甚至会相差千里。
