In the city of Shanghai, there is a group of people whose lives seem particularly lonely at night.
Leizi, a 34-year-old ride-hailing driver, his "home" is the car that accompanies him through the streets and alleys.
At three o'clock in the morning, when most people are still asleep, Leizi has already woken up, ready to start a new day. His "equipment" is simple and practical: a quilt to sleep on, a toothbrush, toothpaste, laundry detergent, all of which are the necessities of his life in the car.
After finishing work every day, Leizi will find a charging station and sleep in the car for a few hours while charging. Five months have passed since such days.
He said that this is done to save on the cost of living, not only to save rent, but also to improve the efficiency of getting out of the car. If the rented house is in Pudong and you get an order to go to Hongqiao, it will take time to go home and run empty. Running on the road for 15 hours a day, at the end of the day, the money you can earn is more than 400 yuan excluding the rental fee.
Leizi's story is just a microcosm of many online ride-hailing drivers. Their car is rented, and every day when they wake up, they owe the car rental company 350 yuan in rental fees, and they have to run desperately to save a little money for themselves. Their lives are like a race against time, exchanging every minute and every second for survival capital.
Leizi said that except for being sick, he opened it every day. One day, he only had more than 100 yuan of water, because he had gout that day, and his legs were so swollen that he couldn't walk, but he only dared to rest for half a day.
Leizi's life has touched the heartstrings of many people. The comments of netizens are full of sympathy and understanding:
1. "After reading this, I decided to give more praise to the drivers in the future, they are really not easy. ”
2. "Every time I take a taxi, I give the driver more time to make them less stressed. ”
3. "This kind of life is distressing, and I hope that society can give them more support and understanding. ”
4. "They really fight for a living. Every time I see news like this, I remind myself to cherish my life now. ”
5. "These drivers are really hard work, and I hope they can get the respect and rewards they deserve. ”
6. "Every time I see a story like this, I think of my own parents, who also made great efforts for the family. ”
--------------------
That sounds poignant. These drivers, in order to support their families, have to do this. They get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, in order to run a few more orders and earn a little more. This state of life is indeed not easy.
Behind the prosperity of this city is their unsung dedication. Their story is not news, it is life, and it is the epitome of countless ordinary people's struggle for life. We may not be able to change anything right away, but at the very least, we can give them the respect and understanding they deserve. ”
Life is not easy, but do it and cherish it. Each of us is running for life and working hard to provide for our families.
Whether it's a ride-hailing driver or someone in other professions, everyone is trying to live in their own way.
So, we need to understand them, respect them, and at the same time cherish our own lives.
You say, "Am I right?"
