In June 2014, a 93-year-old man with gray hair, trembling, entered the police station of Hoat County, Henan Province, China, to report a case. The officers saw that the old man was weak and weak, so they kindly welcomed and asked him questions.
During the conversation, the old man said that a few days ago, after coming home from work, he discovered that the 18,000 yuan (more than 64 million VND) he had worked so hard to save had “disappeared”. Because he suspected that the money had been taken by a bad person, the old man had no choice but to ask the police for help. As he spoke, the old man cried and trembled. When the police heard the news, they comforted the old man and opened an investigation.

It was thought to be a small case, but when the police learned the old man's identity, they were surprised and immediately reported the incident to their superiors. Even the Chinese government, upon learning about the incident, stepped in to help the old man.
So who was this old man? Why did this ordinary theft cause such a stir?
The police said that the old man's name was Qi Tu The, born in 1922, living in Hoat district, Ha Nam province. His family was poor, his wife had terminal cancer and his three married children lived far away, unable to support their parents. As a result, all expenses of the old couple depended on the small amount of money Mr. Qi earned from collecting scrap.
However, the identity of this old man is not that simple. After the police took his statement, they discovered the long-hidden secret of this 93-year-old man.

Accordingly, Mr. Te is actually a veteran who contributed a lot to the national liberation in the 1940s. After many years of fighting on the battlefield, Mr. Te was seriously injured, so he was discharged from the army and left home to find work. Later, when he had a family and was old, Mr. Te and his wife returned to their hometown in 1980 to stabilize their lives.
After peace was restored, the Chinese government had policies to support and express gratitude to those who had contributed to the revolution. However, due to some personal reasons and painful memories of the past, Mr. Qi decided to hide his identity. That was also the reason why he did not receive government benefits.
Not only that, because the traces of war were still in his body, Mr. Te could not work, so life for him and his wife was very miserable, having to pick up trash to make a living. After much effort, the couple had just saved 18,000 NDT for food and savings, but it was stolen by thieves.
At first, Mr. Qi did not intend to report to the police because he was afraid of revealing his identity. However, the 18,000 yuan was money to save the life of his wife who was seriously ill, so he still chose to ask the police for help.

Knowing that Mr. Qi was a hero who had contributed to the country, the police in charge of the case reported the incident to the Henan provincial government. The case of the missing money was also investigated, but the police could not find the culprit or the amount of money that had been stolen. However, as soon as the news was received, the Chinese government immediately sent a group of officials to drive to Mr. Qi's house to visit and encourage him.
Seeing the difficult situation of Mr. Te and his wife, the government decided to provide subsidies to help the family improve their quality of life. Not only that, Mr. Te's story, when shared on television and social networks, attracted public attention. Since then, they have also received a financial support of 23,000 NDT (more than 80 million VND) from a number of benefactors.

However, despite the help of the government and the community, Mr. Te's wife still passed away from a serious illness. Perhaps, if it were not for saving his wife, Mr. Te would never have revealed his secret in this life. After receiving material and spiritual care from the government and the community, Mr. Te was moved to tears. He also did not forget to thank those who had helped and recognized his contributions in the past.
Through this story, we can see that good traditions such as gratitude and repaying the merits of those who have contributed to the country are still preserved and promoted in the community. This is something of great significance and is a good tradition that needs to be spread, preserved and continued to future generations.
