Wearing an orange hat, carrying a small black bag, with a loudspeaker on his waist, and waving a small red flag in his hand. At the intersection of rush hour, we can always find such a bright yellow figure appearing next to the zebra crossing to direct traffic. They also shout safety prompts such as "Pay attention to safety" and "I'd rather wait for three minutes without grabbing for one second" from time to time. But Liu Shuying, who is also a public civilization guide, looks particularly different from , Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District. She has a unique "dance step" and uses her little tricks to "manage" the Sitongqiao intersection in an orderly manner.

Tell the social situation to pedestrians waiting for traffic lights
0 At 7 o'clock yesterday, there were more and more pedestrians at the intersection of Sitongqiao. Amid the noise of people and cars, a high and passionate female voice was particularly prominent. Through the loudspeaker, "Give each other courtesy", "Go straight to prepare, turn right and wait for a moment" and other prompts direct the traffic order in the northeast corner of Sitongqiao intersection, making everything organized. Liu Shuying told reporters that she felt that her voice was not nice, but she just liked to nag with pedestrians, "I think this is a sense of responsibility. Traffic safety cannot be ignored, and life is only once, so we must cherish ourselves."
Liu Shuying, 60 years old this year, has been in the position of public civilization guide for 4 years. When she talked about the reason, she smiled and said that after she retired from the position of geological work laboratory labour, she felt that it was meaningless to rest at home, so she thought about finding a job to do her spare time for the society. Later, after joining the ranks of public civilization guide, she started to think about how to do this career well. The reporter observed that Liu Shuying's posture seemed to be "dance" when directing traffic, with light steps, and constantly adjusting her direction with the direction of traffic. Sometimes she stood on tiptoe and walked forward two steps, sometimes she turned around in circles and waved the small red flag, which was rhythmic and beautifully "dance".
mentioned this matter, Liu Shuying said seriously that this was her trick, "You see, I sometimes go around in order to scan the surrounding situation at any time, so that I can adapt to the situation. At the same time, there are many people and cars at the intersection. I must try to move in a fixed range to ensure safety. If I walk back and forth, I will easily be hit." In addition, she also revealed another trick, "When everyone is waiting for traffic lights, in order to stabilize their emotions, I will patiently talk to them and explain the social situation, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, so that they will not feel lonely and will not want to run the red light."
Experience
"Present to Zebra Crossing" allows everyone to improve their awareness of the self-consciousness
Sitong Bridge has four intersections, divided into four streets, and the northeast corner where Liu Shuying is located is under the jurisdiction of Zhongguancun Street Office. According to Li Guanghe, the leader of the Civilization Guidance Squadron of Zhongguancun Street, the Sitongqiao intersection is a larger intersection in Haidian District. Hospitals, schools and commercial buildings are concentrated, with a large flow of people and traffic. The flow of people in one hour reaches about 10,000 people, and the traffic of traffic is also 5,000 or 6,000 vehicles. "We have two guides on duty at the intersection of the northeast corner. In addition to drinking water in the toilet, there is basically no rest during the two hours of work. In many cases, we are not understanding by pedestrians and say that we meddlers are not understanding." When
mentioned this, Liu Shuying was deeply touched. She once encountered a man in her 1930s who was dissuading a man in his 1930s to cross the road. The other party was emotionally excited and wanted to have a conflict. "At that time, I felt sad. I thought it was for the other party but was misunderstood, and even wanted to do something, but I immediately adjusted my emotions and continued to direct traffic." Recalling that scene, she sighed, and firmly stated that most people understand and support her, and that such people are still a minority. I believe they will understand her good intentions in the future.
At the same time, Liu Shuying introduced that pedestrians are more anxious to travel during peak hours, and some even don’t look at the road and keep their eyes on their phones. This situation is more dangerous, and some delivery guys are also more anxious to deliver goods and run red lights. However, with the deepening of publicity on cerebral zebra crossings, more and more bicycles and motor vehicles can do their own things. Under the command of civilized instructors, motor vehicles will take the initiative to avoid pedestrians and let them go first. In addition, everyone's awareness of traffic rules is constantly improving, and they can also be courteous to each other, which has improved a lot compared to the past.
tells about
"People are dancing and directing traffic."
During Liu Shuying's work, the reporter saw that many people stopped to say hello to her, and many drivers driving the vehicle saluted her, and she also responded one by one, either smiling and nodding, or raising her hand to signal, and she couldn't help but express her gratitude. According to the pedestrian Ms. Guo, she has been working nearby for two years and can see Liu Shuying at the intersection every morning. "Seeing that my aunt is so passionate, I feel that she is full of motivation to go to work and full of strength."
Liu Shuying smiled and told reporters that others praised her for being very safe. "Sometimes I go to the toilet in the middle, and someone will ask me where I went yesterday the next day, saying that I feel very safe when I am here, and it feels safe to cross the road."
Colleague Le Jingyi and Liu Shuying worked together for more than a year. "Sister Liu is so cute, enthusiastic and responsible, and I am always infected by her emotions, so I feel more passionate when working." According to Le Jingyi's recollection, Liu Shuying sometimes even goes forward to stop the car and maintain order for everyone's safety.
"She is an advanced worker every year." Li Guanghe told reporters that he believes that Liu Shuying is very responsible and has a way of doing it. "She is in charge of traffic when dancing."
■ Dialogue
"I am not meddling in other people's business, it's for everyone's safety"
Beijing News: What has touched you the most since you became a guide to public civilization?
Liu Shuying: I feel deeply about a traffic accident that happened in the past two days. A few days ago, at the intersection where I was on duty, a middle-aged woman riding an electric bike was hit to the ground by a car while running a red light. I found that she was also a pedestrian who often ran red lights, so I told everyone about her behavior of running red lights, and in the end she left embarrassedly. Through this incident, I want to tell you to abide by traffic rules. This middle-aged woman ran a red light at the intersection many times, but she didn't listen to her every time she talked to. I hope everyone will not become a person who is habitually unacceptable to traffic rules. At the same time, I would like to remind everyone that life is only once, so you must cherish it.
Beijing News: "Peace Zebra Crossing" has been implemented for more than a year. Do you have anything to say to everyone?
Liu Shuying: I often promote traffic rules with relatives and friends and others around me. They all support me and consciously abide by traffic rules. But I found that there are still many people who don’t understand our work. Sometimes they say that we meddle in other people’s business. In fact, we are really not meddling in other people’s business, but for the safety of everyone’s lives. Working at the intersection, I often meet many people I don’t know say hello to me. I am very proud of myself and hope that with the advancement of the “Peace” activity, everyone’s awareness of courtesy will gradually improve. At the same time, I found that children generally abide by the rules, which is good for school education. I hope that our society will also increase publicity and let more people join the ranks of "compassion".
