Minhang District prosecutors yesterday charged a Sichuan Province native with robbery after he surrendered to police following six years on the run because he was so touched by the help offered by Shanghai people to his quake-stricken family.

Cheng Shuhou, 26, a native from Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, surrendered to police in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan, on September 30 - six years after the alleged robbery took place - and was later escorted to Shanghai.
