一名中国商人找回了丢失的价值4.5万美元的订婚戒指，免费招待5000人吃面。他就是王先生。他原本计划上周日向女友求婚，却不慎把戒指弄丢了。他告诉记者，他去了重庆一家面馆，把戒指放在包里了。王先生非常幸运，面馆一位顾客发现了他的包，交给了老板。老板在包里找到了王先生的联系方式，给他打了电话。王先生非常高兴能把戒指找回来。随后，他去找女朋友求婚，女友接受了求婚。

He was very happy and wanted to say thank you to the restaurant. On Tuesday, he bought 5,000 bowls of spicy⁴ noodles for the customers of the restaurant. This is the average daily sales of the shop. There was a 100-metre-long queue⁵ outside the shop. Many people wanted a free bowl of noodles. Mr Wang told reporters: "Chongqing has the woman I love….I feel very honoured and happy." He also posted a thank-you letter outside the restaurant with a picture of his fiancée wearing the engagement ring. A local man said: "I think the story is really moving. Love is beautiful and people's hearts are more beautiful."

王先生向女朋友求婚，女朋友答应了求婚。王先生非常高兴，想向面馆致谢。周二，他为餐馆的顾客买了5000碗美味的面条。这是这家餐馆一天的销量。面馆外排起100米的长队。许多人想要享用免费面条。王先生告诉记者：“重庆有我爱的女孩。我非常荣幸，非常开心。”他还在面馆外贴了一封感谢信，还贴了未婚妻戴着订婚戒指的照片。一位当地居民说：“我觉得这个故事非常感动。爱是美好的，人的心灵更美好。”
