"Hello, here is a couple asking for help, please come right over." At about 1:00 a.m. on December 6, the phone of Chen Zehong, a passenger attendant at Guangyuan Station in the Guangyuan Train Section, suddenly rang, and it was the conductor at the ticket window who called.

The conductor reported that a couple had just gotten off the bus and found themselves leaving their cross-body bag containing $25,000 in cash in the sleeper compartment. The situation was urgent, and Chen Zehong hurried to the ticket hall to understand the situation.

"It seems that they are working on the construction site to earn money, and they are in a hurry." Chen Zehong said. It is understood that the middle-aged couple from Shuimo Town, Wangcang County, Guangyuan City, just took the K195 train from Hohhot to return to Guangyuan, when they got off the train, because of the husband's negligence, the cross-body bag containing cash was forgotten on the bunk.

25,000 yuan is not a small amount for an ordinary family. In order to retrieve the wallet as soon as possible, Chen Zehong immediately inquired about the contact number of the conductor of the K195 train through the comprehensive control room of Guangyuan Station. On the phone, he informed the conductor of the situation, hoping for help in retrieving the lost satchel.

10 minutes later, the good news came, and the conductor called to inform Chen Zehong that his wallet had been found. After counting with the police, the cash in the bag was intact, and Chen Zehong was told that they would return the wallet when they returned to Guangyuan Station from Chengdu on the afternoon of December 6.

"Hearing that my wallet was retrieved, the middle-aged man suddenly knelt down to me, which really startled me." Chen Zehong quickly stepped forward to pick up the man and comforted the couple.

At about 1 p.m. on the 6th, the K195 train returned to Guangyuan Station, and Zhu Hongliang, the station manager on duty, went to the platform with the railway police to receive the passengers' lost items, and through inventory and confirmation, the contents of the bag were complete.

"25,000 yuan is not the wages of our two sons, but the wages of more than a dozen other villagers in the same village, if we lose it, we will lose it!" The man said: "The reason why I took 25,000 yuan in cash to the car was because the boss paid a local bank in Inner Mongolia." But Guangyuan did not have this bank, so he could not come back to withdraw money. In order to pay the villagers in time, they took 25,000 yuan out of the bank and put it into a cross-body bag before getting on the train. Due to the large amount of luggage, at 00:20 on the same day, when the train arrived at Guangyuan Station, the man only cared to get off the train, and in a hurry, he forgot the cross-body bag containing the money on the side of the sleeper pillow.

"Thank you very much to the staff on duty at Guangyuan Railway Station and the K195 train captain for our help, we work sometimes before dawn to get up, 25,000 yuan is our hard-earned money." If I lose my wallet, I will blame myself for the rest of my life. The man said gratefully. (Ding Zhaoxue)
