Picked up a wallet in Japan, Vietnamese worker's words surprised the police

On July 2, a clip appeared on social media recording a scene of a Vietnamese male worker looking for the owner of a wallet he lost at a supermarket in Japan, earning praise from netizens.

According to Mr. Giang, at the time of the incident, he and his friends were at the supermarket when they discovered a wallet dropped on the ground. At that time, the group called the police to find the owner of the wallet.

Not long after, a police officer showed up and directed Giang’s group to the cashier to return the wallet. The process took only 30 minutes.

"The police and the cashier thanked us a lot. They asked if we needed the owner to thank us or send us money as a reward. We replied that we didn't need it and just wanted to find the owner of the wallet as quickly as possible. That's the right thing to do, and others would do the same," said Giang.

Having worked in Japan as a trainee for more than 2 years, Mr. Giang shared that the lives of Vietnamese workers are facing many difficulties. The reason is the falling yen and the general economic difficulties, leading to the salary being only enough to cover expenses, not sending much back to the family like before.

"This period is still full of difficulties, I and many other compatriots can only try to live frugally. In addition, we also try to do many actions to spread positive energy like above to make life easier," Giang confided.

The clip posted by Mr. Giang has attracted hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of interactions. Many people think that this is a beautiful act, scoring points in the eyes of foreigners about the good qualities of Vietnamese people.

Account NK commented: "Previously, I also picked up a wallet on the subway in Japan. I returned it to an old lady who owned the wallet, and she bought me a bunch of grapes to eat and thanked me profusely. At that time, I felt happy to leave a good impression on the locals and was more confident when going out."

HV account shared: "This is a worthy action and should be widely spread. I once dropped my wallet in Japan and got it back after a few days. When I opened the wallet, I saw that nothing was missing inside. That is a civilized thing that everyone needs to learn."
