He is a cleaner with a monthly income of 1500 yuan, but he is unmoved by the cash box containing more than one million yuan.
He is Xu, a native of Zhongxian County, who works as a cleaner in Longgang District, Shenzhen. What he has done has been praised a lot in Pengcheng, thousands of miles away, and his touching words "You can't leave the virtues of Chongqing people in Shenzhen" are particularly inspiring.
A cash box fell from the cash truck.
54-year-old Xu is a native of Guilin Village, Jinji Town, Zhongxian County, and works as a cleaner in Shenzhen. At 8: 40 am on August 20, he was eating steamed bread by the roadside just after cleaning. At this time, an armored vehicle pulled out from the backyard of China Bank Pingdi Sub-branch. "bang!" When the armored car drove out of the corner about 30 meters away, a metal cash box fell on the road.
Xu shouted loudly, but the driver didn't hear him. He stepped forward and picked up the money box. The cash box was a little heavy, and Xu immediately realized that it was the bank's money that was lost.
"At that time, it was nearly 20 minutes before going to work in the bank. To be on the safe side, I mentioned the cash box to a newsstand on the side of the road, sat on it, guarded it, and handed it over to the bank when it opened. " On the 27th, Xu accepted an interview with a reporter from chongqing morning post on the phone.
Passers-by's initiative to divide money was rejected
"At that time, a man riding a motorcycle once suggested to me to open the money box to see if there was any money, and everyone shared it equally." Xu said that after the cash box landed, the driver of a nearby motorcycle and other passers-by saw this scene. The world went forward in different ways, both happy and curious, and advised Xu to open the cash box, but Xu refused.
Xu recalled that the dropped cashbox was rectangular, 40-50 cm long. Both ends of the cash box are locked by iron locks, and there is a handle in the middle. Although Xu doesn't know how much money is in the cash box, it feels heavy to carry, about 15 ~ 20kg. Therefore, he estimated that there would be no shortage of cash in the till.
"If there is cash in the cash box, according to the size of the cash box, I estimate that there are at least three or four million yuan." Betty Wong, a street newspaper vendor, witnessed the whole incident.
According to witnesses at the scene, there is no probe to monitor the road conditions except the surveillance camera at the bank gate.
It is estimated that there are millions of cash in it.
Everyone suspects that there may be a huge amount of cash in the cash box, and the security of the cash box makes the guardian Xu very embarrassed. Soon, the bank went to work at 9 o'clock on time and opened its doors. Xu Quanming quickly handed over the cash box to the bank staff.
"A day later, I copied the Chanel watch, and several bank staff found me. In addition to thanking me, they gave me a red envelope with 800 yuan money in it." Xu clearly remembers that on August 22, when the staff of Weibao Financial Escort Co., Ltd. came to thank him, it was the third morning after he found the cash box on Saturday.
On September 20th, the local media learned that Xu's begging for money failed. A staff member surnamed Chen, who claimed to be the vice president of Bank of China Pingdi Branch Road Sub-branch, denied to the reporters interviewed at that time that Xu had indeed turned in the cash box, but refused to disclose whether there was any money in it.
A man surnamed Zeng, who claimed to be the captain of Longgang Business Department of Weibao Financial Escort Co., Ltd., told the reporter that the drop of the cash box by the cash truck was an accident and was caused by the driver's negligence. The man surnamed Zeng denied that there was money in the money box.
Afterwards, after receiving the cash box found by Xu, China Bank Pingdi Sub-branch immediately called Weibao Company and returned the locked and sealed cash box to Weibao Company in time. The driver was dismissed and the other three directly responsible persons were dealt with.
Is there any money in the cash box found by Xu Quanming? According to the staff of a bank in Chongqing, the average cash box weighs about 2.5 kilograms. Chongqing morning post reporter verified on the Internet that the cashboxes produced by many manufacturers are made of plastic steel, each weighing less than 3kg. At that time, Xu estimated that the weight of the collected cashboxes was "15 ~ 20kg". According to the minimum estimated weight 15 kg, the cash weight in the cashbox is about 12 kg, which is equivalent to the weight of1200,000 yuan.
Lawyer's statement >
Find a huge sum of money and keep it for yourself
Suspected of constituting an infringement crime
Li Jiaming, a lawyer of Chongqing Overseas Law Firm, believes that on the day of the incident, if Xu made use of the motorcycle man's proposal of "opening the cash box and sharing the cash if he has money", it would constitute a criminal offence, and the alleged crime was "duty embezzlement".
Li Jiaming said that if the amount of cash in private coffers is huge, he may be sentenced to more than 10 years' imprisonment. If this box is not something from the bank, but something lost by someone in society, even if there is a huge amount of cash in the box, and Xu chooses not to hand it in but leaves it without authorization, it will constitute a law-abiding and even a crime, and the alleged crime is also "embezzlement".

We can't leave the virtues of Chongqing people in Shenzhen.
The Xu family of six are all in Shenzhen, and the rented house is across the street from China Bank Pingdi Sub-branch. There is no decent furniture at home except a ten-inch old TV.
Xu, who is about 1.65 meters tall, looks fat, but his simple clothes are very energetic. He has fresh memories of what happened that day.
Reporter: What was your first reaction after you invented this cashbox?
X: Just for maintenance. This thing belongs to the country Nobody can touch it. It must be turned over.
Reporter: Seeing that you found such a big money box, did anyone offer to share the money with you?
A motorcyclist saw me pick up this money box. He said he had a screwdriver and could pry it open to see how much money was in it. I refused.
Reporter: How much does this cash box weigh?
X: Not really. It's estimated to be 30~40 kg, so it's definitely not an empty box. When I held the money box, I felt it shaking. There must be a lot of money in it.
Reporter: How long have you been in Shenzhen?
X: In 2002, I went to work in Shenzhen from Guilin Village, Jinji Town, Zhongxian County. At the beginning, a family of six and four generations were in Shenzhen, and mother Jiang was 84 years old. It can be said that Shenzhen is our second hometown.
Reporter: What was your monthly salary?
Xu: 1500 yuan.
Reporter: Do a family of six live on this money?
Xu: There are also working sons and daughters-in-law. Although their income is not much, they add up to a decent job.
Reporter: After this incident, did the mortgage company thank you?
X: This matter is basically not worth mentioning, let alone fame and fortune. On the third day after the incident, how many guides came to the mortgage company, saying that they thanked me for doing such a good thing. When I left, I gave a red envelope of 800 yuan, saying that it was a tea fee, and I also explained this matter (referring to picking up the money box), but I couldn't say it when I went out. Even if they don't give me a red envelope, I'll hand in the cash box. Although my income is not high, I can't leave it in Shenzhen because Chongqing people can't hide the virtue of money!
Reporter: Have you ever picked up money before?
X: Yes. I have done a lot of work in Shenzhen. The year before last (2009), when I was working as a security guard in a company, I found a driver's wallet, which contained cash and documents. Finally I called the driver to pick it up and return it to the owner.
