Hey, My Friends (Hey, My Friends)" In his daily communication, he seamlessly switches between English and Cantonese and Mandarin.
He is the first friend that many foreign friends have met when they come to Guangzhou, a living map of Guangzhou, a compass for eating, drinking, eating and lodging, a reliable business partner, and an honest "brother" Yang Chao who tracks and retrieves customers' lost mobile phones regardless of the cost.
He was a veteran who was "very open-mouthed".
The "white moonlight" in high school is Xu Sanduo.
I was very rebellious in high school, hahaha. ”
Don't look at the current Yang Chao with a simple smile, he can become friends with many people. When he was in high school before he joined the army, he was a "truant dragon".
Later, I happened to watch "Soldier Assault", and at first I felt that Xu Sanduo was too cowardly and very disdainful. He did a lot of stupid things, and he wanted to see what he could become, and then he came to see it. I saw another way of life. “
A down-to-earth, diligent and sincere life.
Meaningful things are good to live, and good life is meaningful things. Xu Sanduo's words inspired many people, and Yang Chao was one of them.
I wonder what kind of mentality he has, who can build a whole day at the gate of the fifth class in the open grassland. ”
Later, he packed his bags, joined the army, and looked for answers to life in one after another stand-guard duty exercises.
He joined the army in 2007, and from the cable communication corps to the reconnaissance special forces, he has won the honors of one third-class meritorious service, two outstanding soldiers, and the second place in the brigade competition.
The former "rebellious boy" has grown into a strong warrior.
Hehe, getting better isn't something I said about it. The childhood I have had a crush on since I was a child, and I have always ignored me, until I came home from the third year of vacation as a soldier, she said that I had changed a lot and was very sunny. ”
Xiaohua: What about later?
Later, I really caught up with the goddess, married home and became a wife, and now the dolls are 11 years old! ”
Xiaohua: Today is also a day to cry for the beautiful love of others).
I just want to be an industry benchmark! ”
After retiring, he did not participate in the local work arrangement, and chose to stay in Guangzhou to work hard and become a taxi driver.
As the economy grew, Yang Chaoyue felt that he was a little out of step with the times, until he got his first foreign tourist in Guangzhou.
The stumbling communication made him feel that his service was greatly reduced.
I just want to be an industry benchmark and do a line of love! And China is so good, so big, and Guangzhou is a metropolis, I want foreigners who come here to know. ”
So, with only a high school degree, he made up his mind to learn English well. From translated English books to English movies without subtitles, Yang Chao began to "ingest a lot of English words".
There's nothing that doesn't work, just go straight to it. "What the old company commander said has always been imprinted in Yang Chao's heart.
I'm not afraid at all when I speak, hahaha, if I don't know what I'm wrong, I'll change it, and that's how I learned Cantonese at that time, I practiced it with passengers. ”
It is this kind of hearty personality that is not afraid to open his mouth and the strength to not admit defeat that makes daily English communication more and more proficient in Yang Chao's work and life.
At noon on January 24, 2024, Yang Chao received a foreign passenger, Ya Xin, in the car, Ya Xin and his friends had a heated discussion and seemed to have encountered a problem.
At this time, Yang Chao, who was already proficient in English, noticed the situation of the passengers and learned that Yaxin, who was unfamiliar with the place, could not find a logistics company to do maritime transportation.
Thinking that he happened to know a friend who was doing maritime transportation, he affectionately said to Yasin: "Excuse me? maybe i can help you……"Excuse me, maybe I can help you ......）
In this way, the problem at work is solved, but it is difficult to make mistakes in other things. Because of the difference in eating habits, Yaxin's dining became a problem after coming to Guangzhou, and he immediately asked Yang Chao for help.
Yang Chao said that it was wrapped up in him.
In the next few days, Yang Chao became Yaxin's "living map" and "Baidatong" in Guangzhou, answering all questions, whether it was daily life and food or tourism, he took Yaxin and his party to eat and have fun.
Before leaving Guangzhou, Yaxin made a special trip to Guangjun Company of Ruxing Group to present Yang Chao with a pennant embroidered with "High Quality Service".
Yasin wrote a highly appreciative thank you letter and said: "Yang Chao did a great job, he provided me with valuable insights and advice, and made me feel comfortable and satisfied throughout my trip to Guangzhou! Thanks to him! ”
As a return gift from a friend, Yang Chao also sent Yaxin a red scarf full of Spring Festival festivities: "This is Chinese red, which means auspicious and wishful, and I hope that good luck will always accompany you. ”
China is so good, of course, the world must know!
This is not the first time Yang Chao has received a pennant.
In September last year, Yang Chao took the initiative to suspend operations for more than 4 hours, driving more than 200 kilometers to and from Dongguan, returning lost items to passengers who lost their mobile phones in the car, and returned to Zhao!
When the passenger pays him, he will only wave his hand and say, "The passenger's business is my own business, and it is what I should do." ”
There are also parents who are in a hurry to send their children to the hospital, and he will also take the initiative to send the child to a nearby hospital in the shortest time, and said that the rescue is urgent, and the money is not in a hurry.
There are countless things like this, just before the interview, he just picked up the ** from an international friend and made an appointment with him for an itinerary in Guangzhou.
Now the company will send me directly to the list of these international friends, and some of them are introduced by foreign friends who served before. ”
He really did it, the "industry benchmark" among taxi drivers! A brother who understands English, can speak Cantonese, has good service, and is a treasure of "living maps"!
Yang Chao wrote a sentence in the circle of friends: "It's good to do one thing seriously for a lifetime." ”
Once, when I sent a foreign friend's family to the airport, when I was leaving, my father suddenly hugged me and cried, which startled me. ”
Yang Chao said with a smile while reminiscing: "He is in his 50s, crying and telling me, China is really good, Guangzhou is very good, I am also very good, he is really happy to come to China to experience and play." It's very different from what I learned about China online, and I'm glad to be friends with me. ”
As he spoke, Yang Chao's gaze changed from smiling to firm.
Just as he thought when he first made up his mind to learn English, China is so good, of course, the world must know about it!
