"Master, I have been playing Didi for so long, you are the first to give me a free order, on behalf of all the firefighters, thank you!"
After saying that, the female passenger in the fire suit gave him a solemn military salute, and then quickly ran to the mission.
This scene 4 years ago often comes to mind in the mind of Didi driver Wu Meihong.
Speaking of the reason for the exemption, Master Wu himself could not say clearly. Perhaps he saw that in the Tianjin Port explosion, the youngest firefighter who died was only 17 years old, and his heart was deeply touched; perhaps he forgot to take the key when he went out, and asked for help twice in January 119 jumped from the fourth-floor window into the third floor to get the key. Obviously spending 40 yuan to open the lock company can solve the problem, but let the firefighters risk their lives to do it, and they feel very guilty.
It may also be that night, as soon as the female firefighter got into the car, she said to him: "Master, can you drive as fast as you can while ensuring safety?" Along the way, the female passengers were on the phone, and the tone was particularly anxious, and the most repeated words were: "I'm on my way back, you guys wait a bit." ”
Master Wu realized that she might have an urgent task and wanted to do something for them. So I thought of free orders! Seeing that the passengers had been resigning, Master Wu said that he was on the way home and finally returned the money. Master Wu still clearly remembers the amount of the order, 21 yuan.
After that, As long as Master Wu encounters passengers wearing fire suits or fire-related at the starting point and end, he will be exempted from the single. In the case of payment, he will return through the Didi platform. If you have not paid, contact the platform to modify the amount to 0. This one thing, he insisted on for 7 years.
Life isn't always good, and occasionally it mercilessly takes away what we love most.
In 2020, Master Wu received a female passenger dressed in black, and after confirming the tail number of the mobile phone as usual, the two did not speak again.
A phone call broke the silence. Then Master Wu heard: death certificate, cremation certificate, followed by soft sobs of passengers. Master Wu comforted a little, but the passengers could not cry for an instant, and he simply stopped and slowly comforted.
At this time, Master Wang learned that the husband of the female passenger was a firefighter, and he was injured in the mission and could not be rescued. They had been married for only two years, with a son and a daughter. "I received a call from the unit last night, and as a firefighter's family, we are most afraid of receiving a call from the unit. If I call to explain that it is safe, the phone call from the unit will more or less cause trouble. Master Wu burst into tears after listening to it. Originally wanted to give the female passenger some financial help, but helplessly did not bring cash, and finally he asked the Didi platform to modify the fare to 0 yuan.
Later, watching the news, Master Wu learned that at about 21:00 on July 8, 2020, the factory building in the Nanfeng Production Area of Guanghan Jinyan Fireworks Co., Ltd. in Deyang City, Sichuan Province, burned, causing 2 serious injuries and 4 minor injuries, and one seriously injured firefighter died of his injuries at the age of 34. The female passenger that Master Wu pulled was the widow of the sacrificed firefighter. "Firefighters are one of the most dangerous professions in peacetime, and they're really doing things for the people. Every time I pulled in a firefighter, I would tell them to be safe, never to say safe. ”
Master Wu's approach also deeply affected his son. Once, Master Wu took his son back to his hometown, and the passengers were dressed in civilian clothes, but they saw the passengers coming out of a fire brigade in The Qingbaijiang District of Chengdu. On the way, his son kept asking him about firefighting: "How did the alarm sound?" and "How did the fire truck drive", and the passengers patiently answered. At the end of the order, the son shouted at Master Wu: "Daddy, give him a free order!" Master Wu did not say a word and directly ordered the free single option.
Speaking of his son, Master Wu felt that he had owed. Before driving a rescue vehicle in a natural gas company, he traveled frequently, for more than 40 days at the longest time. Usually, he always comes home early and returns late, and his son is very strange to him before the second grade of primary school. Since opening Didi, time is relatively free, picking up and dropping off his son to and from school every day, which is a little closer to his son.
Master Wu's economy is actually not also rich, he is 39 years old this year, there are old and young, and he and his daughter-in-law are sandwiched between the middle and live a hard life. He would go to another city 30 kilometers away for 4 cents cheaper to refuel, and usually save money.
"To be honest, I give them free orders, and I don't measure up. But I can do my best, I earn a little less money, let these fire fighters feel that we ordinary people are silently supporting them, so that they can feel a little warmth of our people in life. ”
Since running Didi, Master Wu has waived 18 orders, a total of more than 300 yuan. Although the amount is not much, Master Wang only feels that it is a small matter, but the most rare thing is that he is willing to stick to this warm little thing and influence the people around him.
