The takeaway boy riding the wind and waves

  A series of titles such as “ferryman”, “galactic stomach guard” and “urban runner” vividly interpret the takeaway boy’s role as a “lubricant”, “stabilizer” and “safety valve” for people’s lives and social development. Great effect. In them, we seem to understand that doing it knowing that we can't do it is brave; don't do something small, but it is great.

  Recently, chasing up suspects of theft, cleaning up construction water horses, rescuing injured patients, controlling electric wires and fires... At special moments, from time to time, such a group has come forward to temporarily act as security police, cleaners, medical staff, and firefighters. Social stability and social harmony are promoted. They are of different ages and dresses, but they have a common and friendly name-the takeaway brother.

  In recent years, the takeaway industry has developed rapidly, and the takeaway brothers who shuttle between buildings and streets have gradually entered the public eye. While realizing their own value, they also greatly facilitate people's daily life and promote the rapid development of society. Especially during the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, their busy and fearless figures have brought vitality and infinite warmth to the people-some thousands of miles of aid to the Chinese, "close contact" with the virus every day; some stand on their ground and serve their neighbors for free Buying food and giving food...maybe their behavior is their daily habit of helping others and is driven by their civic consciousness, but for the whole society, it is a feat of the times of seeing greatness in the ordinary and nobleness in the ordinary.

  From sitting on the rostrum of the press conference, to standing on the National Day ceremony, to being on the cover of Time Magazine, the typical deeds of the takeaway boy have been recognized and praised by more and more people. This year, the relevant national departments released 16 new career information, and the takeaway boy officially entered the National Career Ceremony under the official name of "online delivery person".

  At the same time, there are more and more voices in society calling for more understanding and support from the foreign sellers. During the epidemic, a takeaway boy who took about 50 orders a day was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. Many people in the society reported him more help and encouragement. A series of titles such as “ferryman”, “galactic stomach guard” and “urban runner” vividly interpret the takeaway boy’s role as a “lubricant”, “stabilizer” and “safety valve” for people’s lives and social development. Great effect. In them, we seem to understand that doing it knowing that we can't do it is brave; don't do something small, but it is great.

  As a grassroots force that connects various areas of the city and communicates with all kinds of people, the takeaway boy should receive high attention, and should receive full care from the society. At present, in the context of the Internet economy rising against the trend, new professions that have quietly emerged to meet the needs of social development are still facing many new problems and challenges. For example, the traffic safety of the takeaway brother, the prohibition of the takeaway brother from entering the public place, and whether there is timely corresponding protection due to work injury... As long as the government, enterprises, and the public work together to regulate market operation order and improve the social security system , Cultivating citizens’ awareness of equality and other aspects of active exploration and innovation will enable the takeaway boy to get more work convenience, institutional guarantees and emotional respect; it can stimulate the positive energy of the whole society and fundamentally actively promote social governance.

  A helmet, a motorcycle and a passion of blood portray the image of the takeaway boy, a wind and surfer, and outline the most beautiful pictures of the streets and lanes. Some people compare them to superhuman beings who are omnipotent and ubiquitous. In fact, like thousands of laborers, they stick to their ordinary posts, glowing silently, and showing them with diligent hands and smart minds. What the fighters of the new era should have looked like.
