Original title: Deng Lanzhou, passenger driver of Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang City, Hubei Province (introduction)

Strive to serve every villager well (dream building, modernization, drawing a new picture together, the song of laborers) (theme)

In Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang City, Hubei Province, a passenger car commutes between the market towns and villages in Wufeng County every day. Next to the driver's seat of the passenger car, there is a tin mailbox, which Deng Lanzhou uses to contact the villagers.

Deng Lanzhou is a pilot of Sannong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. in Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, and a deputy to the People's Congress of the county. In his work, Deng Lanzhou often heard villagers talking about people's livelihood. "I was driving most of the time, so it was inconvenient to talk with villagers, so I put a mailbox to let them write down their suggestions," Deng said.

Once, the villagers wrote a letter to reflect that the temporary shed on the roadside leaked rain and needed to be repaired in time. After Deng Lanzhou saw the message, he immediately contacted the relevant departments. Soon the bus station was replaced with a new roof, and the villagers trusted Deng Lanzhou more.

Deng Lanzhou is a pilot who also carries goods for villagers. After the bus arrived at the market town, Deng Lanzhou got off and shuttled between shops to help villagers along the way with production and living supplies. Sometimes the bus is not full of passengers, but the trunk is full.

Over 16 years of work, Deng Lanzhou has brought more than 100000 pieces of goods to villagers free of charge. His mobile phone has more than 800 phone numbers and more than 2000 WeChat friends, most of whom are villagers who need to bring goods.

"The smiling faces of the villagers are my biggest motivation," Deng Lanzhou said. In 2022, Deng Lanzhou launched and set up a volunteer service team to provide volunteer services for villagers. The elderly and left behind children in the village are the key service groups. So far, the volunteer service team has carried out more than 2400 hours of volunteer service and more than 900 volunteer service activities.

At present, Deng Lanzhou's passenger transport company has 6 vehicles to form Deng Lanzhou's motorcade named after him, providing villagers with passenger transport, cargo carrying, emergency rescue and other services.

"The journey has an end, and the service is endless." Deng Lanzhou said, "I am an ordinary passenger driver. My greatest wish is to travel safely, drive a good car, deliver good goods, and serve every villager well." (Yi Shuran, Wang Xinyuan)
