答案 My Opinion on Rewarding for Returning Lost Property Recently, Guangdong provincial government stipulates that if no one claims a lost item, the person who hands it in will get 10 percent of its auction earnings as a reward. The owner of the lost property can also voluntarily offer a reward of 10 percent of its value. From my viewpoint, this new regulation has still a long way to go before its actual implementation. Firstly, returning lost property is an action taken out of human beings’ inherent impetus, which means that lost property always belongs to the owners. Thus, upon picking up a lost item, one would immediately try to return it to the owner or some authority that can help find the owner. However, though the regulation is made to encourage the traditional Chinese virtue of voluntarily returning lost property, the forceful way of rewarding human beings’ intuitive action makes things weird, because it appears that people may return lost property just for reward. Thus, it totally distorts the essence of returning lost property and relegates this virtue. Secondly, according to the regulation, if no one claims a lost item, the person who hands it in will get 10 percent of its auction earnings as a reward. What about items which are too trivial to go to auction? And what is the basis for the number of 10 percent? If the item is invaluable, does the regulation imply that someone who hands it in will become a millionaire overnight? If so, people may compete to find the lost invaluable item, which would give rise to disputes and even social problems. Lastly, going to auction is not the only way to deal with lost property. For precious or even rare items which could hit the headline, if no one claims them, authorities had better preserve them in museums so as to keep their value. For practical lost items, especially daily necessities, the best way to keep their value is donating them to those in need, including the impoverished, the homeless and people in the disaster-stricken area. In short, the new regulation to reward for returning lost property is far from perfect and practical. Faced with lost property, the government shall on the one hand set those who hand it in as role models for the public, and on the other hand, it ought to think up how to dispose of it in a significant manner.
