The court had demanded repeatedly that the debtor, Zhu, clear his debt.

When Zhu’s family delivered the coins, the court had to seek help from a nearby bank to count them all; four bank staffers started counting at 10:30 am, and four more joined in the afternoon to help finish before closing time.
