  Tadatoyo Yamamoto is a Japanese businessman. He visits the USA from time to time. While he was telephoning at a hotel on a visit to Chicago, he put his bag on the floor. A few minutes later, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto reached down for it, but it was gone. Inside it were about $ 900, his passport, photos of his family, and his return ticket to Japan.

  But three weeks after he returned to Tokyo, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto received an envelope. There was nothing inside but his passport, his airline ticket and money order(汇票) for more than $ 900 and a letter from Mr Joseph Loveras. It said, “I hope this money order and the things will make you believe in the people of Chicago.”

  The next time he traveled to the USA, Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto called on Mr Joseph Loveras. He was 67 years old and in bad health. He got only $ 493 a month. He said that he saw the bag on a street corner and found the money and the ticket in the top part of the bag. He changed the money into money order and spent his own money to send it to Japan.

  Mr Tadatoyo Yamamoto was very moved by what Mr Loveras had done. “I asked him why he would go to all the trouble to return everything to me. He told me that if he had not done it, it would have made him feel bad for the rest of his life.”

Ma Yan is not really a writer, but this 15-year-old girl has written a book that has moved many people around the world. Ma Yan’s diary tells us about Ma’s life. She lives in a poor village called Zhangjiashu in Tongxin, Ningxia, and she has no money to go to school. However, she is brave and wants to go to school very much.
Her mother gave her diary to a reporter, Pierre Haski when he went to Zhangjiashu in 2001. Now, Ma Yan’s diary has been published in France, Italy, Germany, Japan and China.
Ma Yan is now a Junior Three student at Yuwang Middle School in Tongxin. Before this, she had to drop out of school twice. She had to stop going to school the first time, because her mum told her there was no money for her to go to school. She worked for 21 days and saved 13 yuan. With this money, she went back to school. The second time, her family told her she had to leave school while her two brothers could stay.
“I want to study,” Ma Yan wrote in her diary. “Why can boys study but girls can’t? It would be wonderful if I could stay at school forever.”
Ma Yan loves school so much because she wants to have a better life.
“My parents work hard in the fields but they are still poor. They have no knowledge(知识). Most girls in my village leave school early and get married young. I don’t want that kind of life,” Ma Yan said.
