Lu Chen, trusting his wife, invested all his money in stocks, not only losing it all but accruing a 5-million debt. Feeling hopeless, he spent his last 10 yuan on a stack of spirit money (joss paper). The kind vendor, pitying him, sold it cheap and, hearing Lu Chen say it was to "burn for himself," gave him a watch. On the rooftop, ready to end his苦日子, Lu Chen burned the money and the watch. Instantly, the burned紙幣turned into real banknotes floating down, and the watch reappeared on his wrist. His life was transformed.
