Volunteers at the crossroads

On the way to school (work) in the morning and school (work) in the afternoon, during these two periods, you can see "standing guard" people waving flags and wearing yellow or red volunteer costumes at the main intersections. They are civilized traffic volunteers in Beijing, persuading uncivilized traffic behaviors and creating a civilized travel atmosphere. Most of them are retired people, and it is such a group of amiable and lovely people that constitute a beautiful scenery of Beijing's civilized transportation.

At the crossroads, a person stands in a corner, but the opposite person can only look at each other from a distance and often exchange corners.

Whenever the red light is coming and the green light is coming to an end, they will wave the flag in advance to prepare you for departure. Attention, stop.

Whenever they meet pedestrians who turn left and right, they will remind pedestrians to pay attention to turning vehicles.

Whenever they meet passers-by who insist on running red lights, they will wave flags and shout more frequently. Some people can stop, others can go their own way.

Whenever there is a big sun at the intersection, they will stop you at a place dozens of meters away from the intersection and say that the sun is shining ahead.

Whenever you meet a passerby who can talk to them and ask for help, they will answer you more enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

This is their movements, expressions and language for four hours a day. They look at passers-by with responsibility, smile and consideration.

Maybe you didn't notice them, but they still exist in our field of vision as always, giving us a warning and warmth.

Maybe you have received a little kindness, so you will pay special attention to them. Whenever I meet a familiar face, I will say "Hello Aunt, we meet again" and "Hello Uncle, you have changed places again" .............................................................................................................

Go the same way every day and meet the same people. Whenever I stop, I will take the initiative to greet and ask questions at unknown intersections. For example, there is an intersection where the traffic lights are particularly slow, and I will ask how to speed up. For example, I wonder why there is a car with a turning arrow but no turning. I think this kind of communication is beneficial and meaningful to their duties. Contact with them will also make me better appreciate the scenery on the road.

Volunteers at the crossroads are both "helping others" and "helping themselves". They are all "happy people" and "happy people". They have come a long way, and they are very grateful to have you.
