【臺灣訊】高雄縣鳳甲國中學生趙威彥,家境雖清寒,但在二月二十四日拾獲新臺幣三十五萬元(約合美金一萬三千餘元)現款時,卻不動心,並且馬上回去告訴母親。他母親要他再回到拾獲地點等候失主,並強調一定要等到失主才能回家。趙威彥在拾獲地點苦候失主,事後又未向人提起,讓失主鄧松源很感動,主動要求校方表揚。
趙威彥說,撿到錢時,他就想起四年前,父親與病魔糾纏時,還不忘時刻叮嚀他「做人要誠實」。所以面對校方的讚揚時,趙威彥大聲地說:「這是爸爸教我這麼做的!」

(Taiwan) Chau Wei-yen, a student of Feng-jya Junior High School in Gau-syung, comes from a poor family. Yet when he found NT $350,000 (about US$13,000) in cash on February 24, he was not tempted, and went straight home to tell his mother. His mother instructed him to go back to where he had found the money and wait for the owner, adding that he should not return home before the owner came. Chau Wei-yen waited at the spot for a long time, and afterwards did not mention the incident to others. The owner, Deng Sung-ywan, was greatly moved. He related the event to the school and requested that the student be commended.
Chau Wei-yen said that when he saw the money, he immediately remembered how four years ago when his father was battling illness, he always said, "A person has to be honest!" Therefore, when receiving the praise of the school, Chau Wei-yen cried out, "This is what my father taught me to do."
