A kind-hearted BMW owner in Xinmi City, Henan Province, granted a poor student who had accidentally bumped into his car with 10,000 yuan (US$1,453) instead of asking for compensation from him, as people.com.cn reported.

Chen Yifan, the student from a local senior high school, hit a BMW car parking along the street when he was passing by on a bicycle on February 4, leaving the rearview mirror broken and several scratches over the body of the car.

Chen left a letter of apology to the car owner, together with an envelope of 311 yuan he had earned from part-time jobs during the winter holiday. He put them at the inside of a door handle .

The car owner surnamed Xue found the letter and cash the next day and got so touched by Chen’s honesty. With the help of local police Xue located the student on February 10 in hope of returning the money. He told the police that he also wants to fund Chen’s education if the family cannot afford it.

On February 11, Chen’s mother, after knowing what her son had done, voluntarily contacted Xue trying to compensate for the repair. But Xue turned her down firmly.

The next day, Xue’s daughter visited Chen’s family with a grant of 10,000 yuan for his education.

Chen finally accepted the funds on the condition that he will return the money after he works.

The repair fee of the BMW car will cost about 13,000 yuan, according to the 4S store.
