CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- In the early morning of the Lantern Festival (February 26), a heartwarming story happened at Sigongli Hub Station of Bus 833 of Jiulongpo Branch of Chongqing City Transportation Development & Investment Group Co., Ltd. A warm-hearted passenger brought glutinous rice balls to the drivers of Bus 833.

After 07:00 in the morning, before dawn, Mr. Wang, a warm-hearted passenger, brought glutinous rice balls to express his gratitude to the drivers of Bus 833. Chen Li, a dispatcher of Bus 833, recalled that she was urging drivers to make maintenance for their vehicles when she heard someone calling out that whether there was anyone on Bus 833. “I thought it was a passenger who wanted to ask questions and hurried over. It turned out to be an acquaintance, a regular passenger on our bus, very polite and extremely helpful. He said he sent some glutinous rice balls to drivers and asked us to take them. We keep turning down, but the passenger was so kind,” Chen Li said. Having the steaming dumplings, driver Zhang Weibin said he felt warm in his heart: “This passenger is an acquaintance. Many skilled drivers of the route recognized him. His surname is Wang, and we often chatted with him when we met.”

A reporter contacted the warm-hearted passenger Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang revealed that he lived near Yangjiaping, and usually took Bus 833. Why did he use such a way to express thanks to the drivers of Bus 833? Mr. Wang said: “There was a period of time when I felt more lost, and I took Bus 833 to go out to relax. As soon as I got on the bus, the driver was very polite and enthusiastic to say hello to me. At that time, I felt very warm and my mood suddenly got better. From then on, I often took Bus 833 to go out. The longer I took, the more I found that all drivers along this route are very polite and warm.”

Mr. Wang said honestly that the respect is mutual. “They respect me, so I should return the favor. It is the Lantern Festival today, but they have to work, so I send some glutinous rice balls. I want them to have warm food in the cold weather, and this is my way of thanking them for all the hard work they’ve been doing.” (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
