Recently, an octogenarian in Qingdao lost his way when he went out to take the bus, and asked for help from the people around him without results, Li Gang, the driver of Laoshan Bus Company of Qingdao City Transport Holdings Bus Group, went forward to communicate and found that the old man's language thinking was confused and could not contact his family, so he patiently guarded all the way, took the old man back to the branch, and then drove a private car to send it back.

"I really thank our bus master very much, if he hadn't helped send back his old father, the consequences would have been unimaginable." On the morning of February 8, Mr. Xia, a citizen, called the hotline of Laoshan Bus Fifth Branch to thank Li Gang, the driver of No. 212 Road. It turned out that at about 15:00 on February 7, Mr. Xia, an octogenarian, went out alone to visit his old friends, took the No. 212 bus home alone at the market third road station, but unexpectedly sat in the wrong direction, and when the old man found that the route was not right, he hurriedly asked for help from the passengers around him.

"There weren't a lot of passengers in the carriage at that time, and I heard someone asking which stop it was and what place it was." Li Gang recalled that because the old man could not remember the location of his home, he could not communicate smoothly with other passengers. Between the vehicles entering the station, Li Gang went forward to inquire about the situation, found that the old man was confused, could not remember his home address, and could not tell the contact information of his family, considering that he was in operation, Li Gang repeatedly reassured the old man's emotions, told him to sit firmly and support him, told him that he would take him home, do not worry.

"The old man has been sitting in the back of the driver's seat, and I have been paying attention to his state, during which the old man was more emotional, stood up and walked toward me, and I kept comforting him between pit stops." After the driver Li Gang brought the old man back to the branch, he helped the old man recall his home address, and learned through more than half an hour of chat that the old man's surname was Xia, 85 years old, his family lived on Fuzhou North Road, there was an overpass in front of his home, and he used to go downstairs to the bus terminal, and there was a clinic at the intersection. At this time, Li Gang and the staff basically determined the home address of the old man, and then drove a private car to send the old man back safely. At this time, the old man also recalled the name and contact information of his children, and constantly thanked the bus staff.

Bus staff remind the public that when there are elderly people in the family who need to go out, their children should accompany them as much as possible, or wear a bracelet with home address and contact information for the elderly, so that enthusiastic citizens can help them go home.
