Chinese delivery driver, Gao Zhixiao, appeared on the cover of Time magazine in March because of his great sense of duty. Alongside five others, he was picked by the magazine as one of the heroes during the novel coronavirus(新冠肺炎) outbreak.
After COVID-19 broke out, many restaurants turned to takeout-only services. Millions of people have been staying home to avoid getting infected (感染的). "People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home," Gao told Time. As a result, delivery orders dramatically (显著地) increased, placing a huge burden on delivery couriers (派送员).
Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, Gao started to make a living in Beijing at the age of 16. After the novel coronavirus broke out, Gao thought for a second whether to continue working, but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be in need.
In order to keep off the danger of person-to-person transmission(传播), Gao must take precautions (预防措施) to avoid spreading viruses during his route around Beijing, including taking a regular health test and spending 20 minutes disinfecting (消毒) his motorcycle and clothes each morning. Besides delivering goods, Gao once warm-heartedly cooked for an elderly customer(顾客) who was living alone at her home.
It is the commitment of ordinary people like Gao who have made the biggest contributions in the fight against COVID-19.
Long before I could read myself, Mum read stories to me every night. Those bedtime stories made me a reader.
Many years later, I read a picture book to a small child in a classroom. He was from a poor family and had no friends. My reading made him very happy. Then he wanted to start something big. He said to me, "Mrs. Allyn, let's make everyone know how good this feels. Let's have a holiday for reading stories. " Then my company, Litworld, started World Read Aloud Day in January, 2010, to honour(表彰)the little boy for sharing such a great idea with us.
Now more than 65 countries around the world celebrate it. Parents and teachers read to their children or students on this day. World Read Aloud Day tells people the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories.
So come and join us.
