Come! Follow me, I'll take you there.
The owner of Jin Hua Zhen Bakery in Douliu was attempting to make a delivery in the Jiangcuo Village area. However, the customer's address was not recognizable by GPS navigation, and the owner lacked contact information. This led to the owner getting lost for nearly an hour on the intricate rural roads, which are known locally as a "field Bagua array" due to their confusing layout and numerous dead ends.
During this frustrating search, the postal worker, Li Meng-feng, encountered the distressed bakery owner. After inquiring about the situation, Li offered to lead the way. The owner followed Li and successfully reached the intended destination. The bakery owner shared the experience on the "Postal Service Public Lecture" Facebook group, expressing gratitude and calling the postal worker a "beacon of guidance."
This is not just a process of leading the way, but a manifestation of the most sincere goodwill and sense of responsibility from a grassroots postal worker.
Li Meng-feng, who was also featured in a previous story for his quick thinking when a letter flew back into his basket, turned out to be heading to the same delivery point. Yunlin Post Office Director Weng Xiao-hui commended Li for his proactive service and willingness to assist strangers. She announced that Li would be publicly recognized for his actions, celebrating the spirit of postal service.
