"We also have to settle a 'conscience account'".

The old man in Cangzhou, Hebei Province was unmoved by the huge amount of 200,000 yuan he found, and called the police overnight to find the owner. The hero of this incident, 75-year-old Lu Xueqin, was named the 2022 "Good Person of China" Person of the Year.
Lu Xueqin said: "This matter is not a big deal. Although we are not rich, we must be open-minded and open-minded when we are a man and do things according to our conscience, not our own money, and we can't ask for anything. ”
With a conscience", Lu Xueqin's story is being known by more and more people, and everyone has praised her and felt warm for having such a good person around her.
In case of pre-accounting, the "conscience account" is calculated
Whenever night falls, the lights are on, if it is not for special weather, Lu Xueqin will always step on the night, pedal on a tricycle, pick up waste along several streets near her home, and work until midnight before returning home.
At 23 o'clock on February 20, 2022, Lu Xueqin, as usual, rode a tricycle along the street to pick up waste. When she arrived at an intersection of Kaiyuan Avenue in Cangzhou City, she saw three bags on the ground, and she thought they were waste products discarded by nearby residents, so she stepped forward to pick them up.
I thought it was definitely not a waste carton, and other waste products sold at a low price, so I was quite disappointed at the time. Lu Xueqin said that when she took the bag to the street lamp and looked at it, she immediately "chuckled" in her heart. It turned out that there was a bag with a large amount of cash, neatly bundled in several bundles.
Lu Xueqin's income is meager, and she has never seen so much cash in her life, but the first thing she thought of at that time was the owner: "This is not a small amount, how anxious people are to lose money, in case it is hard-earned money from part-time work or life-saving money for urgent medical treatment, it is even more terrible!."”
Lu Xueqin held the bag containing the money, feeling a little anxious and a little flustered. "Since you have picked it up, you must help protect the owner, and you must not go wrong. Lu Xueqin said what she thought at the time. She hurriedly rode a tricycle to the doorman of her community and immediately called the police.
The night of the first lunar month was still very cold, and Lu Xueqin stood at the gate of the community until the police came. "I'll be relieved to leave it to you, and I'll be able to sleep peacefully when I get home. She said to the police handling the case.
After on-site counting, there was a full 200,000 yuan in the bag. Seeing the old man standing next to the tricycle full of waste, the police handling the case gave Lu Xueqin a thumbs up, "Auntie, you are really good!."”
With so much money in front of you, don't you feel tempted?Faced with the questions of some people around her, Lu Xueqin responded: "We can't just settle accounts on money, we also have to calculate a 'conscience account', and spend other people's money, which is not steady." ”
Lu Xueqin has been scavenging near the community for nearly ten years, and in her opinion, no matter how much money there is, whether things are expensive or not, they have to be returned if they belong to someone else.
Once, Lu Xueqin picked up a mobile phone while picking up waste, and she immediately asked her daughter to contact the owner through the mobile phone address book, and rode an electric car to send it back, and told her daughter not to receive any benefits.
Scavenging does not rob others.
At 19 o'clock on December 7, Lu Xueqin put on a padded jacket, put on sleeves made from an old sweater, and walked out of the house.
Why do you only choose to pick up waste at night?
In response to the reporter's question, Lu Xueqin answered calmly: "Someone picks it up during the day, let's let others first, and don't rob others." ”
Thinking about others in advance has become a "habit" of Lu Xueqin.
It's a family ethos.
Lü Xueqin's father was a member of the Communist Party. When she was young, her father often taught her to be decent and know how to help others.
In the past, the days were hard, and the villagers often had times when they couldn't open the pot. Although my family is not having a good time, my father often helps others. I never ask for the food and money I borrowed. Lu Xueqin said that his father was a well-known "good man" in the local area, and he was respected not because he was rich, but because he was righteous.
After growing up, Lu Xueqin inherited a good family style and integrated "benevolence and righteousness" into every bit of life.
When she was in her 30s, Lu Xueqin entered the leather shoe factory to work for 20 years. Later, when she could no longer work due to bleeding from the fundus, she jumped on a tricycle and took up the business of selling vegetables.
At that time, Lu Xueqin was also very famous for selling vegetables.
She first went to the morning market near Victory Park every day to sell for a while, and then began to walk the streets.
Lu Xueqin didn't need to "shout" when she walked the streets, and many "repeat customers" were waiting for her at the door, just to be able to buy her food.
Why is that?Because of integrity.
At that time, many elderly people would re-weigh themselves when they came home from grocery shopping. In this regard, Lu Xueqin has never "overturned the car". "I'm not afraid of everyone's 'second inspection', our scale is full of miles, we will only give more, and we will never deceive everyone with a conscience. She said that she never sells overnight vegetables, and if a vegetable leaf is broken, she must tear it down in time to ensure that everyone will not suffer a loss if they buy it.
Drive the surrounding people to build a "city of good people".
A good person is a spark.
With the continuous spread of the deeds, the old man also became a local "star grandmother". Her acts of kindness interpret the greatness in the ordinary, and touch and warm the people around her.
Xin Guobin, a native of Northeast China, opened a spicy stall near Lu Xueqin's house. He stacked wine bottles and beverage bottles under a big tree next to the stall, so that Lu Xueqin could load them into the car when he passed by. "I am not rich in life, and I think about the loss of the owner first. Who do these things not give to such good people?Xin Guobin said.
Wang Xiuyun's family, who lived downstairs in Lu Xueqin, would bring back the discarded cardboard boxes they saw outside and leave them for Lu Xueqin. "Sister Lu is helpful, no matter who has something to do, she will help. The honor of 'Good Chinese Man' has to be awarded to such a person. Wang Xiuyun said.
Help good people, learn good people, and be good people. In Cangzhou, good people like Lu Xueqin emerge in endlessly. Since 2007, the city has carried out the typical publicity and selection activities of "Cangzhou Good People" for 17 consecutive years, selecting "good people in the village team", "good people in the courtyard", "good people in the community" and "good people in the team", etc., extending the selection of good people to the grassroots level of society, and more and more good people around them have been discovered.
Up to now, more than 1,600 people in Cangzhou City have been rated as "Good People of Cangzhou", 281 people have been selected as "Good People of Hebei", and 197 people have been listed on the "China Good People List", and the number of people on the list has been in the forefront of the cities divided into districts in the country. "The City of Good People" has become a beautiful business card of Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is the 'city of good people'. To learn from a good person and be a good person, I should take the lead. Lu Xueqin said. (Hebei ** reporter Yuan Zheng).
