Two passengers in Wuhan, central China's Hubei province, accidentally dropped nearly 10,000 yuan ($1,380) in cash while rushing to catch their train at a subway station. Primary school student Xu Jianyi spotted the money and immediately ran upstairs to alert station staff. Thanks to his quick thinking and the staff's coordinated efforts, the money was safely returned to its owners that same evening.
