The owner of the car, with the surname Xu, and her husband, who is from Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province in the eastern part, found a small scratch on their car on October 26th. Actually, the small scratch didn't really bother them. "It's not too serious, so we didn't pay much attention to it," said Xu as quoted from The Star, Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

"Then I felt that the child was very brave, willing to take responsibility for his mistake and actively seeking a way out," said Xu. "He also wrote in his letter that if 50 yuan is not enough, he can pay it in installments, which made me think that he is a very smart child," added Xu.

That evening, Xu and her husband then met with the boy. "Then, we told him that because he had behaved very well and was willing to take responsibility for his actions, he could get the 50 yuan back as a reward," said Xu.

This story has captivated the hearts of many social media users in China.
