Student Admits To Scratching Luxury Car, Gets College Sponsorship As Reward For Honesty

It was just an ordinary day for a Chinese college student Zhang Youquin. She was riding a bicycle and had just finished depositing money for her college fees.

Unfortunately, her eyes were glued to the road signs and did not notice that she had scratched a Lexus ES350 luxury car. Instead of running away in guilt and panic of what she had done, Zhang waited for the owner of the car to come back for an hour under the heat of the sweltering sun.

“Uncle, are you the owner of this car? I’m very sorry about it. I accidentally scratched your car with my bicycle, and I’ve been waiting for you.” She said apologetically to the owner, taking full responsibility for what she had done.

The owner of the car, who works in a property firm, was impressed of the honesty with Zhang as well as her bravery to face her mistake.

“I was curious seeing a girl standing beside my car. She seemed to be in a panic and scared when I first saw her. When I got to know that she waited under the hot sun for an hour, I was deeply touched. I told her that no compensation was needed,” he said upon hearing her heartfelt words.

Zhang immediately broke down into tears of the kindness shown by the man. But that is not all. Since the girl comes from a poor family, the company promised to support her college education in return for the honesty she had shown.
