Mooncake is a traditional food and a commonly exchanged gift for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival which arrives on October 4, 2017. Bus driver Ji Ping in east China’s Jiangsu Province received a special mooncake giftbox recently.
Surveillance camera on bus B22 in Changzhou City shows that an old man gave the bus driver a red box before getting off the bus in the morning of September 27, 2017.

According to reports from Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation, the senior told Ji Ping to take the gift, and not give it to others. The driver didn’t have time to say no at that time. Later in the day, she was surprised to find out that it was not sweet desserts inside but a thick deck of cash.

It turns out the 86-year-old man had been taking Ji’s bus for the past six years, who is always given warm greetings and delight chitchat by the driver. So he saved the money without telling his family members and hoped to return the kindness in his own way.

The driver, though, returned the 5,000 yuan (about 750 US dollars) to the passenger who is apparently suffering from an eye disease.
