Recently, a cleaner by the name of Chen Liyan has made the headlines for her generous and honest act.

最近,一个名叫陈丽燕的清洁工因其慷慨正直的举动登上了新闻头条。
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.
上周二早晨,45岁的陈女士在太原火车站打扫地面时发现一把椅子旁边有一个小塑料袋,里面有10万元人民币。
Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
陈女士很震惊,但还是决定把钱还给主人。
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."
昨天陈女士在接受当地报纸采访时表示:“如果把钱留下的话,我会很难受的,毕竟主人可能急需用这笔钱。”
While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner.
陈女士在工作时认真观察人群,看看谁可能会是失主。
She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in.
她等了两个多小时,但运气不好,没碰到,所以她去了最近的警察局把钱交给警察。
There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
在那里,这笔钱终于回到了他的主人王铮手里。
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologised for the inconvenience, even offering her 5,000 yuan as a reward.
王先生不停地感谢陈女士,还因为自己给陈女士添麻烦道了歉,甚至给了她5000元作为报答。
To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
但令他惊讶的是,陈女士拒绝了,她接受不了不是自己挣来的钱。
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill.
但或许更令人惊讶的是,陈女士的16岁女儿刘霞目前病情严重。
Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
为了给女儿治病,陈女士已经花光了所有积蓄,还欠下了巨额债务。
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.
幸运的是,在警察局工作的马东宝过来了。和陈女士住在同一栋楼的马东宝非常了解她的困难。
When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to set up a fundraising website to pay for Liu's hospital bills.
当王先生得知陈女士的处境后,他决定建立一个筹款网站,为刘霞的药费筹款。
Chen Liyan's example shows a different way of thinking about money.
陈丽燕的事例向我们展示出一种对金钱的不同态度。
Money is important, but to people like Chen, it definitely isn't everything. And that's a great attitude to take.
金钱虽然重要,但对于像陈女士这样的人来说,它并不是一切。这是一个很好的心态。
Now, in other news, one city in...
现在播报另一则新闻,一座城市...
