On an early morning in July 2018, Mr. Cui Shikai, who lives in Qingdao's North District, was taking a leisurely walk when he suddenly caught a glimpse of an old scavenger who was pushing a brand new safe and walking towards him with steady steps.
Faced with such a mysterious and eye-catching scene, Mr. Cui immediately showed his keen insight and curiosity, and couldn't wait to step forward and ask the price of the old man's safe.
Surprisingly, the old man sold the safe for only 50 yuan.
Such an unexpected surprise instantly stimulated Mr. Cui's deep desire to collect, and he did not hesitate to take this "treasure" into his arms.
When he returned home full of joy, he began to examine the safe in a careful and meticulous manner. After studying the detailed instructions, he was surprised to find that there was a unique hidden compartment hidden inside the box.
With this, Mr. Cui became interested in exploring and immediately set out to find the location of this mysterious device.
After some hard work, he finally found the mysterious secret compartment in the gap at the edge of the safe, and found that there was also a keyhole there. Unfortunately, no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find a matching key.
So, Mr. Cui mustered up his courage and decided to use a screwdriver to forcibly open the dark grid.
At this critical moment, Mr. Cui had no idea what would happen next. I saw that he succeeded in finding a gold bar weighing 50 grams, two gold and silver foil commemorative coins, and two fixed deposit folds in the secret compartment! After accurate calculations, the total value of these precious items was as high as an astonishing 10 million yuan! This was like a windfall from heaven, and it was unbelievable.
However, Mr. Choi did not take possession of the property for this reason. He knew that the wealth did not belong to him, so he immediately handed it all over to the Yan'an Road police station, which was closest to his home.
As a citizen with a high sense of responsibility, Mr. Cui has always consciously fulfilled his obligations without any luck. His only wish is to do everything in his power to help the lost owner recover his long-lost wealth.
In the process, Mr. Cui has demonstrated a high level of ethical integrity. Faced with such a huge windfall, he was not fooled by greed, but chose the most appropriate way to deal with it.
When he saw that those valuables did not belong to him, he did not hesitate at all, and resolutely handed them over to the police.
After receiving Mr. Cui's call for help, the police quickly set up a special team to carry out investigation. With a meticulous review of the owner's financial records, the police were able to locate the true identity of the account holder in a short period of time.
Sadly, however, after a lengthy investigation, the officers finally got the news that the account holder had passed away a few years earlier.
Since the owner has no relatives in Qingdao, the police have to search for the contact information of his family through various channels in order to obtain more valuable clues. The process was fraught with challenges, and the officers experienced numerous difficulties and setbacks.
However, they never gave up and eventually found the widow of the owner, Ms. Qiao, in Jinan.
During the in-depth communication with Ms. Qiao, the police discovered an unexpected fact: Ms. Qiao did not know that her husband had secretly stored such a huge wealth in a safe during his lifetime.
It turned out that Ms. Qiao's husband had worked as the lobby manager of a well-known hotel on Yan'an Road before his death, however, in late June 2018, he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
After the funeral, the family emptied all the items in the safe when sorting out the belongings, and finally sold them to a local wandering old man who recycled waste for only 3 yuan.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ms. Qiao, who had thought that all the possessions her husband had accumulated during his lifetime had been properly disposed of, but she did not expect that such an astonishing wealth could be hidden in the hidden corner of the safe.
If Mr. Cui had not taken the initiative to hand over all the lost property to the police, Ms. Qiao would never have noticed such a drastic change in the family's financial situation.
Ms. Qiao said with great emotion that she was still deeply terrified when she received these gold bars and passbooks left by her husband for the first time, and she sincerely thanked her for meeting someone as honest and selfless as Mr. Cui, and deeply sighed that she was lucky.
In the process of searching for the identity of the owner, we deeply felt the noble professionalism of the police and the wrong decision made by Ms. Qiao's family due to ignorance. Although the owner had stored a large amount of his wealth in a safe during his lifetime, the relatives were unaware of such important matters when they were sorting through the relics, and they were eventually sold to a person who had little connection with the matter at a very low price.
It is not uncommon to admit frankly that such cases of loss of family wealth and even net worth due to helpless neglect are not uncommon.
Therefore, we must be highly vigilant and proactively monitor and grasp the financial situation of the family, especially those hidden wealth that is not easy to detect. Only in this way can we quickly identify and defend our legitimate rights and interests in the event of an emergency.
At the same time, it is necessary to exercise caution when handling the estate, and not to dispose of those items of unknown value rashly, so as not to cause irreparable financial losses.
When Ms. Qiao learned the truth, she had planned to invite Mr. Choi to a sumptuous dinner to express her deep gratitude to him. However, Mr. Cui firmly declined this sincere invitation.
He made it clear that this wealth, which he did not own, should not be kept for himself, even if it was of great value, but that he was merely fulfilling his duty as a citizen.
In the face of Mr. Cui's noble character, Ms. Qiao was deeply admired. In today's mercenary society, it is extremely rare to meet someone as honest and selfless as Mr. Choi.
She was sincerely grateful to Mr. Cui for his honest behavior, because if it had been someone else, the property would have been gone.
In this regard, Mr. Cui responded indifferently that he was only practicing his due civic duty, and there was nothing to boast about. As a man of conscience, he could not tolerate the appropriation of wealth that he did not own.
"Even though the money was enough to help me realize my dream of collecting for many years, I still chose to hand it over to the police so that the owner could recover the lost fortune," said Mr. Cui.
When Ms. Qiao heard about this, she couldn't help but feel emotional! In the current era full of desires and competing interests, honest and kind people like Mr. Cui have become more and more scarce.
She sincerely hopes that more gentlemen like Mr. Cui will emerge in society to work together to make the world a better place.
"I am truly grateful to Mr. Choi for his generous assistance. Imagine, if he hadn't been keenly aware of these belongings and reported them truthfully, I'm afraid they would have disappeared without a trace.
As a family member of the owner, I have always felt deep regret and fear for the loss of my husband's inheritance. However, at this moment, with the help of Mr. Cui, we have finally recovered our long-lost wealth, which is undoubtedly a great comfort for our family.
Ms. Qiao said affectionately.
Mr. Cui's resolute act of returning these wealth, which he did not own, to the police undoubtedly demonstrates his noble personality and strong moral code. In the current social environment, greed and selfishness seem to have become a common phenomenon, but Mr. Cui resolutely chose the right path, which is really admirable.
On the other hand, if it is replaced by someone else, it is very likely that you will choose to take possession of it privately rather than report it to the owner. Such behavior will undoubtedly cause great damage to social fairness and justice.
Therefore, Mr. Cui's noble deeds are worth learning from and emulating by each of us. Only when more upright and selfless people like him are active on the social stage can we truly build a fairer and more just social order and make the world a better place.
