When the world stops, a Chinese delivery driver has continued working while the COVID-19 spreads across China. The delivery driver is Gao Zhixiao, who was on the cover of Time magazine for March 19.
Born in a poor family in Ningxia, Gao went to Beijing to get a job at the age of 19. He tried different jobs to make a living. He worked as a shopping guide before he finally became a delivery driver.
After the outbreak of the COVID-19, Gao and his wife decided to stay in Beijing rather than return to Ningxia. There’s plenty of work for him to do during quarantine ( 隔离期 ). Gao drives more than 161 kilometers on his motor-bike to fulfill 40 to 70 orders every day. And people depend on delivery services more than ever.
Gao once received an order that required him to buy medicine for a patient from a hospital. He thought about it for a second, but then picked up the order, because he thought the customer might be in very great need of the medicine. The customer was an elderly woman who lived alone. Gao first drove to her home to get the prescription ( 处方 ) paper. And then he rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine she needed. When he found that the woman hadn’t eaten, he immediately helped cook a bowl of noodles with two boiled eggs, and took out the trash when he left.
“I think the reason why Time picked me is that I helped an elderly person in need. Although it is a warm story, I’m no different when helping anyone else,” he says. Gao just hopes his tiny behavior can show the western world the strong cohesion ( 凝聚力 ) of China!
