At noon on every working day, Zhang Wei is the busiest time. He put on his helmet and eye-catching yellow overalls and rode his electric bicycle to pick up takeaways from three different restaurants. After carefully looking at the delivery addresses of the three takeaways, a map of the nearby neighborhoods appeared in Zhang Wei's mind. He planned the most efficient delivery route like a game of checkers and delivered the meals one by one with 10 minutes left in the allotted time. Da.
Zhang Wei, a 35-year-old takeaway rider, has been working in the takeout delivery industry for 2 years. In 2023, he became the winner of the Guizhou Province May 1st Labor Medal that year. He was a little embarrassed when he mentioned this honor: "No matter what profession you are in, as long as you work hard and honestly, you can achieve extraordinary results and create a shining life."
In two years, from a delivery boy to Growing up to be the honorary winner of the "Guizhou May 1st Labor Medal", Zhang Wei used lines from the popular TV series "Flowers" to describe his experience, "The goal is never far away, step by step, day by day. Just go all out "Time will do the rest."

The job of a rider does not seem complicated. If you can ride a bicycle and use mobile software, you can hit the road. But in fact, this job requires both physical strength and intelligence. At the beginning, Zhang Wei was a little overwhelmed by the new professional environment, and embarrassing situations often occurred. It’s not that the locals are not familiar with the route, and they rely too much on navigation, which leads to delivery overtime; there is a power outage and the elevator cannot be used, so they can only climb up to a residential building on the 20th or 30th floor; a drink is spilled and the customer pays out of his own pocket...
Such stumbles It’s almost a “must go” for riders. Colleagues at the site enthusiastically familiarized Zhang Wei with the route and taught him experience, including where to take shortcuts, where the mall elevators are located, and how to estimate the time it will take for customers to go downstairs to pick up their meals. Every link must be grasped and every second counts. "At that time, in order to familiarize myself with the routes, I would run all the roads in the delivery area during my daily breaks. I would familiarize myself with every street through constant repetition," Zhang Wei said.
During this period, Zhang Wei, who is meticulous and loves to study, studied carefully while running orders, how to communicate with different customers, what to do when encountering customers who cannot be contacted, and how to deal with abnormal problems in the "most comfortable way"... .Under countless scorching sun, twilight, wind and rain, Zhang Wei shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city every day, growing together with the city.
As he worked day after day, Zhang Wei gradually got started and gradually learned how to deliver goods to save time and effort. He told reporters that after working in this business for a long time, he also summed up a lot of experience - which restaurant delivers food quickly, how to plan the most time-saving route... Now, he likes to think about it, and the delivery volume has remained at the delivery station all year round. of the top four. Not only that, but helping merchants check data, pack packages, and throw away customers' garbage after delivering meals... these small things have also become his daily routine.
Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, Zhang Wei remembers many warm moments. Many people will say "Thank you" and "Thank you for your hard work" when they get the takeout. Some people will sympathize with his hard work in the hot summer. "The moment I knocked on the door, I saw the customer waiting at the door with mineral water and said, thank you for your hard work, little brother." , drink water, it’s really warm.”
shines at his post, and the warmth will be passed on to the people around him. During the epidemic in September 2022, with a sincere heart to contribute to society and serve the people, Zhang Wei became an epidemic prevention and control volunteer after registering through the Wudang District Epidemic Prevention and Control Volunteer Recruitment Group in Guiyang City. An ordinary yet extraordinary volunteer life began.
Zhang Wei’s community has many permanent residents and a large migrant population, making personnel management difficult and epidemic prevention and control difficult to carry out. He helped the community deliver supplies, helped set up nucleic acid testing points, and used his familiarity with the roads to be a good "delivery boy." The combination of red vest and orange takeout clothes makes him particularly "conspicuous" in the crowd.
is different from running around for life in the past and making money as the purpose of "mission". He is no longer surrounded by colleagues and well-trained comrades who get along day and night, but by enthusiastic citizens who have never met before. From strangers to mutual understanding, this Along the way, we have unknowingly become friends who share weal and woe. This nearly twenty days of volunteer service experience is of great memorable significance and value to him. “The customers took good care of me during the food delivery. I also hope to do something for our city.” Talking about this past event Every "little thing" puts a smile on Zhang Wei's face.
On April 29, Guiyang City’s new employment form grassroots trade union awarding ceremony was held. Guiyang City’s new employment form workers have more rights and interests protection. "New professional groups like delivery boys are receiving more and more attention and attention from everyone. Now we run more securely, energetically and happily." When talking about future plans, Zhang Wei said, "We still have to be serious. Do your job well and look forward to continuing to add excitement to the city."
