Qianjiang Evening News Hourly News reporter Sun Yan
"Ride my car for free today!" Every Chongyang Festival, Hangzhou taxi driver Shen Gang would go to the bus station and shout that the elderly would take his car for free. For this reason, he was awarded the title of the most beautiful driver in Hangzhou.
Recently, a passenger called his car, chatted with him all the way, thought he was a particularly interesting person, and sent to the circle of friends.
After the passenger's friend saw the circle of friends, he deliberately looked for Shen Gang to take a video and posted it on the Internet, and Shen Gang suddenly "red".
Recently, the hourly news reporter contacted him, got into his taxi, and listened to his story.
I have tea you have a story
On the road, I am willing to listen to the joys and sorrows of passengers
"Here you come, get in the car." Seeing the reporter, Shen Gang smiled and beckoned the reporter to get on the car.
After getting on the car, the reporter found that his car was particularly "rich", and in the middle of the driver's seat and the passenger seat, a storage box was placed, which contained a purple sand pot with tea, disposable water cups, mineral water, small snacks, fruits and so on. "I like to make friends, some guests get in the car and want a cup of tea, and I just got ready. Pour you a cup of tea and everyone will talk. ”
A golden "Service Pledge" on the passenger seat is very eye-catching: warm smile and friendship; free hot water in the car; free starting price for the elderly over 80 years old and soldiers, disabled people, and workers participating in the Wuhan epidemic; the elderly and children are preferred...
"Someone noticed it this morning and told me it was a veteran, can I enjoy this, I said yes." Shen Gang said.
Shen Gang, 45 years old, from his hometown of Shaoxing, has been driving a taxi for 21 years and is currently settled in Hangzhou. He said that being a taxi driver was also a coincidence.
"My legs are a little bit not very good." Shen Gang said, rolling up the pant leg, only to see a bone in the calf that was obviously protruding. This is what Shen Gang fell behind when he was in high school. At that time, Shen's mother was not in good health, and said that she might not live for more than two months, and when he heard about it, he rushed to the hospital to visit, and as a result, he was hit by a car on the road, resulting in a comminuting fracture.
That time was gray for Shen Gang, at first the doctor told him that the leg was not cured, and then after treatment, he improved, but said that he would still fall disabled after recovery. "I felt disabled, so what's the point of being alive?" He began to give up on himself. Shen Gang said. Fortunately, along the way, he met many mentors and friends. At that time, he confided his pain with a radio host, and the host said something to him that made Shen Gang suddenly enlightened, "You are just inconvenient for your legs, you can still do things, you think about those amputees, they are definitely more painful than you, many can face life positively and optimistically..."
"I was hit by a car, and I wanted to learn to drive, drive well, and repay the society." Shen Gang said that he asked the coach who learned to drive, whether he could drive in a situation like this, and the coach told him that the bus could not be driven, and the taxi could be. Therefore, Shen just started to learn to drive, planning to be a brother.
My uncle had a taxi in Hangzhou, and after Shen just got his driver's license, he drove with his uncle. "At that time, there was no navigation, I had just come to Hangzhou from Shaoxing, I was not familiar with the place, the southeast, southwest, and northwest were not clear, I could only buy a map, first figure out the location of stations, hospitals, schools and other places, step by step."
When a guest is going to a place he is not familiar with, he will ask the guest: "Can you help me show the way?" Because he is not familiar with the road, he feels that he may delay the time of the guests, and sometimes the fare is not charged, "it does not matter if you suffer losses, you should pay the tuition." ”
In this way, Shen Gang became more and more familiar with the roads of Hangzhou.
Grateful to the old people have the persistence of these years
After driving a taxi for 21 years, Shen Gang has done a lot of good things and has been misunderstood. Once, when he was driving past Wansongling, he found a middle-aged woman hit by a taxi, and the taxi escaped. So he slowed down and tried to take the injured to the hospital, but someone came over and said that he could not move the injured, for fear of danger after moving.
When the traffic police arrived, he thought that he had nothing to leave, only to find that he was suspected of being the perpetrator. It wasn't until he happened to see the accident car parked not far from the accident site afterwards that the misunderstanding was eliminated.
People who have saved people have also been saved in a hurry. A few years ago, he passed near the Qianjiang Bridge, and a taxi in front of him seemed to have a car accident, and the driver stopped him, saying that there was a college entrance examination student in the car who was going to take the thirteenth middle school exam on the teaching road. "At that time, I was in a hurry to rush to the shift, but I thought that I was going to take the college entrance examination, so I told him to come up." Shen Gang said. After the student got on the bus, he said to the child: "I will drive faster, but it must be stable, you can rest assured." ”
Under his escort, the student successfully arrived at the examination room, and silently wrote down Shen Gang's license plate number to return the fare.
"Passengers sitting in my car is a kind of fate. When I met a drunk person, I threw up on the ground, I just wanted me to send him safely, and it was not so important whether the fare was charged or not. I also met a father and daughter who were in conflict, my daughter got into my car angrily, did not let my father come up, I mediated for them in the car, and after my father got into the car, I gave both sides a guide. The girl was very grateful, and afterwards she wrote a long letter to me, saying that her relationship with her father had eased, and she came to thank me in particular. ”
In the Chongyang Festival, the idea of letting the elderly ride their own cars for free is also because of a good thing he did.
In 2007, Shen Gang drove past the No. 3 bus stop and saw a big aunt in a wheelchair anxiously taking a taxi. Shen Gang had passengers on the car who were going to DongxinYuan not far away. After putting the passengers down, he remembered the scene of Big Ma's taxi, "I just thought, if you don't go over to see, if Big Mama is still there, take her." ”
Sure enough, my aunt was still in a wheelchair and took a taxi in the same place. Shen Gang stopped the car and picked up his aunt from the car. In the car, he learned that the big mother's surname is Zhao, and this time he went out because he was sick and had to come out to dispense medicine, but it was not easy to take a taxi. "After I listened, I left a phone for my aunt, and I said that I could call directly when I traveled in the future, and I would pick her up."
When she arrived at the door of Aunt Zhao's house, she learned that she lived on the fifth floor and there were no young people in the family, so Shen Gang sent her all the way home. In a hurry, I forgot to collect the fare.
Aunt Zhao kept this matter in mind.
The following year's Spring Festival, Shen Gang spent the New Year in his hometown of Shaoxing. On this day, someone called out to him: "Shen Gang, someone is looking for you." ”
He ran out to see that it was Aunt Zhao, who had come from Hangzhou with her neighbors and was carrying fruit.
"At that time, tears poured out, and I didn't know how she found my hometown." Such a long way, she set off from home, first take a bus to the passenger transport center, take a bus to Shaoxing in the passenger transport center, get off the bus and then change buses to here, how difficult it is for such an old man. ”
"I am grateful to the elderly and want to give back to them well, so I chose to call them to the bus station on chongyang Festival to take my car for free."
Some elderly people heard that it was free, but they did not dare to sit down, saying that their homes were far away. "It doesn't matter if I tell you, as long as you don't go out of Hangzhou, it's free."
When people reach middle age, Shen Gang once again suffered a big blow in his life. When she was working outside, her youngest daughter was accidentally electrocuted at home.
"I couldn't walk out for a long time. I would like to thank Ms. Ling Meiyun of the Provincial Women's Insurance Company, An Feng, the host of Hangzhou TV Station, and the procurator of the Shangcheng District Procuratorate, whose constant encouragement I was able to slowly ease up. ”
"Now, I enjoy the present, happiness is a day, irritability is also a day, why not adjust your emotions, let yourself embrace every day happily, and be grateful to society?" 」
