The “bank of good deeds” was opened in China

A “bank” in northeast China has seen residents flocking to open accounts that enable them to exchange good deeds for services.

Citizens in Yanji in Jilin Province can accumulate credits through such tasks as collecting plastic bags off the street (10 points), handing in lost wallets (50) and donating blood (200).

Top credit earning deeds include helping others in dangerous situations (300-500 points) and donating stem cells (1,000).

Credits can be exchanged for rewards such as a haircut (150 points), home cleaning (500) or a health check (1,200). People who collect more than 6,000 points will win the accolade “Models of Community Morals.” (MTI)
