A true Chinese story: an older brother drives through the night to pay his migrant workers’ wages before the New Year, but he and his entire family of five die in a car accident. His younger brother, devastated by grief, pays out with no accounting book—relying entirely on the workers’ honesty—fulfilling his brother’s dying wish: “Never owe last year’s wages in the new year.”
