　　"Mr. Zhang, get ready to go. We are waiting for you on the first floor." At 14:00 on May 6, a police car stopped at Fenghuixin Field Community, Taigu District, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.

The three auxiliary policemen who got off the car stood by the elevator in the residential building.

　　A few minutes later, a woman limped out of the elevator, and was immediately helped by the auxiliary police to get into the police car and rushed to Taigu Middle School.

　　The limping woman is named Zhang Yanfang, a sophomore English teacher in Taigu Middle School.

At the end of February, she accidentally rolled down the stairwell and fractured her left foot.

　　As the saying goes, one hundred days of injury.

The doctor asked Zhang Yanfang to rest at home.

　　One month later, Zhang Yanfang went to the hospital for a follow-up visit. The doctor clearly told him that “the fracture image can still be seen on the film, and he will continue to rest for one month.” However, Zhang Yanfang could no longer stay at this time.

"The second semester of high school is too important for students. If you can return to the children as soon as possible, you will have less worry in your heart."

The Taigu traffic police drove Zhang Yanfang to and from get off work four times a day.

　　In fact, before the return visit, Zhang Yanfang, who felt that her bone injury had improved, had already applied to the school to return to work.

The grade director also hopes that Zhang Yanfang will return to work as soon as possible. However, considering that her bone injury has not healed and returning to work early may have sequelae, she relieved her that "the English classes of both classes have arranged teachers, so you can recuperate well."

　　However, the grade director couldn't stand Zhang Yanfang's repeated application, and could only reply "returning to work is fine, but don't insist on it. It must be based on your health."

　　On March 28, the day before returning to work, Zhang Yanfang began to ponder her way of traveling: driving is absolutely impossible, only riding an electric bike.

To this end, she went to the yard with crutches to practice riding an electric bike several times.

　　Early the next morning, Zhang Yanfang set off from home at 7 o'clock.

Because he couldn't pick up the electric car bracket with one foot, the father-in-law pushed the electric car to the door of the unit ahead of time and helped her into the car.

　　Two crutches were standing upright in front of the electric car, turning the switch lightly, Zhang Yanfang set off.

Originally it only took 10 minutes. To ensure safety, she rode for 20 minutes.

Zhang Yanfang's professionalism touched many people, and she also gained a lot of touches.

　　When the electric car was parked in front of the teaching building, the English class representative with a few physically strong male students was already waiting here.

"Mr. Zhang is back, Mr. Zhang is back!" The students were overjoyed.

　　On that day, Zhang Yanfang was going to class on the sixth floor.

When she first started walking up the stairs, she was supported by two boys and struggling to go upstairs with one foot.

However, she just started to sweat when she was up one floor.

　　"Ms. Zhang, you are too tired to go upstairs like this, let me carry you on your back." The two boys took turns and carried her on their backs to the sixth floor.

　　"When the children carried me upstairs, they were really moved." When it came to this, Zhang Yanfang smiled: "The children are so nice, not just carrying me up and downstairs every day, taking things, fetching water, etc. Don't let me worry about it."

　　Although he considered many possible problems in advance, Zhang Yanfang had to admit that the consideration was not thorough enough: sitting down to give lectures, and unable to see the students behind, the key is that you can’t find the feeling of giving lectures; standing up to give lectures can only be done on one foot Hold on for ten minutes.

　　"The stool on the podium helped me." Zhang Yanfang said. Although kneeling on the stool is uncomfortable, it is better than standing on one foot.

"I kneel there, let my height come out, let my voice come out, and want my body language to infect them."

　　After persisting for more than 20 days, a teacher in Taigu Middle School took a short video of Zhang Yanfang kneeling to give a lecture, which was quickly spread by the entire network.

　　"Everyone is watching this short video. It's about Taigu." On April 20, Hao Jianhong, head of the traffic police brigade of the Taigu Branch of the Jinzhong Public Security Bureau, saw the video and called his team members to watch the video.

　　"Everyone is very moved, and also very emotional: this kind of professionalism is worth learning from every policeman." During the discussion, everyone agreed to arrange police forces to jointly take on the task of transporting Zhang Yanfang to and from get off work in shifts.

　　"Go to pick up at home at 7:10, pick up at school at 11:30; pick up at home at 14:10, and pick up at school at 20:00." The Gulou Squadron, Traffic Police Brigade, Taigu Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Jinzhong City "robbed." After the task of picking up Zhang Yanfang, more than a dozen civilian police and auxiliary police were specially scheduled.

　　"On the morning of the 21st, Dong Qifeng; at noon on the 21st, Bai Xuefeng and Cao Kejie; at noon on the 22nd, Li Jie and Li Jinjie; on the afternoon of the 23rd, Wang Yandong and Huo Jiayu; at noon on the 24th, Guo Jianjun, Li Huiming..."

　　At 14:00 on May 6, the auxiliary police of the Gulou Traffic Police Squadron sent Zhang Yanfang to the school for the last time.

She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the traffic police department for the continuous pick-up and drop-off for more than ten days: "Helped me solve the difficulties of commuting to get off work, eliminated my worries, and enabled me to devote myself to teaching work."

　　Zhang Yanfang at this time, although she has lost her crutches, she still needs to use the stool on the podium to stand up and kneel sometimes.
