Grandpa Chen is not a traffic police, so he will be sneered at and scolded when directing the traffic: "What's it got to do with you? You are not a policeman. How dare you command me?" "Stop messing around here or I will run you over." Grandpa Chen said, "Drivers don't understand me. They scold me, but I won't scold them back. I will respond with smile and explain to them, and most drivers can understand."
After chatting with the reporter for a while, the vehicles on the road were blocked again. He immediately picked up his umbrella and went to the street to direct the traffic. After ten minutes, the road was unblocked again. Grandpa Chen told the reporter: "The road here is relatively narrow, there are only two lanes, and in the middle is a hospital. There are many people coming for treatment and visiting patients. The parking spaces in the hospital are seriously insufficient, so many car owners park their vehicles by the roadside, which exacerbates the congestion of Yanzao Road. Based on the current situation, there is no way to prevent car owners from parking by the roadside, so there is no day without traffic jam on Yanzao Road. It starts to get congested at around 8 o'clock in the morning. When the traffic jam is severe, citizens will report to the police, and the traffic police will also come to the scene to direct and guide. I am a gatekeeper, and usually there is nothing important to do, so I go to the road surface to direct the traffic, which helps alleviate the congestion. I feel that this is very meaningful and is doing good deeds for the people, so I have been insisting, even if I have a little cold, I will still go out on the road."
Duty to direct traffic for 6 years, without any regrets
Report - Chen Fuxian is an ordinary security guard who works at the Hainan Medical Association on Yanzao Road in Haikou. In this ordinary position, he has worked for 15 years, never making requests to the unit, and living very frugally. In recent years, with the daily increase in vehicles in Haikou, the phenomenon of traffic congestion has become increasingly prominent. The traffic on Yanzao Road in Haikou often gets jammed, so Chen Fuxian voluntarily joined the ranks of directing traffic, and he has persisted for 6 years. "As long as I am still working here, I will continue to direct traffic and help everyone. I am happy to be able to do something for everyone," said Chen Fuxian.
When the road is smooth, Grandpa Chen is happy.
At around 10 o'clock yesterday morning, with drizzling rain, I came to Yanzao Road beside the Longhua Outpatient Department of the Provincial People's Hospital. The road was jammed, and an old man holding an umbrella was waving his hands continuously in the traffic flow, shouting loudly: "Move to the side, move to the side, you can drive over, don't worry." "Wait a moment, don't rush, let's make some space." The old man ran back and forth in the traffic flow until the traffic was smooth again, then he finally had some time to rest.

It is understood that the old man directing traffic in the rain is named Chen Fuxian, who is a security guard at the Provincial Medical Association. According to him, he comes from Suxian, Anhui, and has always been single. He came to Hainan in 1982, and currently earns only more than 500 yuan per month, but it is enough for his personal expenses. "I am actually 66 years old, but when I got my ID card in my hometown, the production team made a mistake in my age. According to my ID card, I am only 55 years old this year. Although I am old, my body is still fine, I can run around, my hearing is sharp, and it doesn't affect my work," said Grandpa Chen.
An elderly man in his 60s in Haikou voluntarily directs traffic for 6 years and says in an interview with the journalist, "I am happy to be able to do something for everyone."
When Grandpa Chen was directing traffic, coincidentally, the traffic police from the Longhua Brigade of the Haikou Traffic Police Corps also arrived at the scene. The traffic police told the reporter: "This old man is very enthusiastic. Whenever he sees a traffic jam, he goes out to direct the traffic, which relieves a lot of pressure on us."
"I didn't go to school, but I think that as long as we live in this world, we need to have our own value, love, and do good deeds for the people. We need to be a good person, and when there are more good people, society will be harmonious. When I direct the traffic and the road is smooth, I am also happy." Chen Fuxian expressed his inner feelings in simple language.
