At about 3 p.m. on November 11, outside the gate of Beijing Tsinghua Changgeng Hospital, 86-year-old Wu Jiyu and his 87-year-old partner Fan Tingsheng were on crutches, carrying fast food boxes, looking left and right on the side of the road, anxiously looking for the figure of a taxi.
Tough taxi ride
At 7 o'clock in the morning of the same day, Wu Jiyu and his wife and children went to Tsinghua Changgeng Hospital for re-examination, because they needed to draw blood on an empty stomach and did not eat in the morning, and ran around in the hospital's consultation room, examination room, and laboratory for nearly 8 hours. At about 3 p.m., the old couple was seriously physically exhausted, the body was about to collapse, and they helped each other to the road outside the hospital gate and wanted to take a taxi home to rest, but there was no time to drive a taxi on the road, asking about the taxi parked on the side of the road, and the driver who ranked first said that he was waiting for someone.
When the old couple walked to the front of the car of Wang Gang, the driver of the Shouqi taxi, Wang Gang saw that the old man seemed to be unwell and asked where the old couple was going? Hearing that the destination was in the Tiantong Zhongyuan community, about 3 kilometers by car, Wang Gang quickly let them get on the car and wanted to send them home as soon as possible, worried that the elderly were unwell, Wang Gang deliberately slowed down the speed.
After arriving at the destination, the old man Wu Jiyu took out cash to pay Wang Gang for the fare, Wang Gang did not collect, after several pushes, Wang Gang withdrew a yuan from a pile of cash, said: "You have paid the fare, hurry upstairs to rest, run the hospital tired for most of the day." ”
Retrieve your lost phone
Around 7 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Gang always heard the sound of "ding, ding", like the prompt tone of the WeChat message. After parking the car, a mobile phone was found under the foot pads in the back seat, because no one called to find the mobile phone, Wang Gang was worried that the owner was in a hurry to use the phone, just when the WeChat group of the mobile phone jumped out of the conversation message, Wang Gang hurriedly dialed the voice phone of the contact in the "Tsinghua University Faculty and Staff WeChat Group" to inform the other party that the owner of the machine had left the mobile phone.
When Wang Gang received a call from the old man Wu Jiyu looking for a mobile phone, Wang Gang was sending passengers far away, because he was worried about sending a mobile phone that night to disturb the old man's rest, so he communicated with the old man for a good time, and the next morning sent the old man to his home.
The Transport Commission received a handwritten letter of commendation
On November 18, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission received a special letter to praise "Wang Gang, a taxi driver of Shouqi, for his enthusiasm for helping the elderly." Although it has been several days since the incident, Wu Jiyu and his wife are still very touched when they think of Wang Gang's selfless help to them in the cold winter, and they hope that this warmth in their hearts will let more people know that a handwritten letter of nearly 1,000 words restores the course of events.
Wang Gang, a taxi driver at Shouqi, learned that he had been praised and said with some embarrassment: "This is all as it should be." When helping the elderly did not think too much, but felt that the distance was very close and there was no need to collect money, seeing that the old man was not in a very good state, he thought of letting them go upstairs quickly to rest. ”
In daily life, when encountering rain, snow and wind, Wang Gang will pay special attention to roadside pedestrians, especially the elderly and people with children. Regardless of whether the other party stopped the car, Wang Gang would ask whether he needed help, and he felt that it was a matter of convenience, it did not take much effort, but it could bring warmth to others.
The elderly are the most vulnerable groups in the social group that should be cared for, and everyone should help them to the best of their ability and carry forward the fine traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of helping the elderly, loving the elderly, and respecting the elderly. Just as the elderly Wu Jiyu wrote to the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, he said: Master Wang Gang, a taxi driver of Shouqi, deserves to be learned by each of us, and he helps strangers regardless of return, and this spirit of selfless dedication should become an example for everyone. When more and more people are like Master Wang Gang, our big family of the motherland will be more harmonious and beautiful, prosperous and strong.
