Chengdu traffic warden Old Yuan, a grassroots celebrity

"Please stand in line to board the bus, and move down the bus to make space for other passengers. Why is that man at the front blocking others' way? Is there money on the ground there? Let me have a look."

"Attention passengers: Beware of pickpockets. Please hold on to your bag tightly madam! Otherwise, you will barely have enough money to eat noodles for the next two weeks!" said Yuan.

Yuan is helping people boarding a bus

"Pretty girl, look at me – since my legs were hit by a vehicle nobody will offer me a job. Think about what would happen to your parents if you have a traffic accident. There is no use crying if you become disabled."

"Anybody who intends to make money on the bus, do not stay here as the No. 16 bus line is not a good money-earning place. Please go elsewhere to earn your money." The "safety officer” on a No. 16 bus attracted the attention of Mr. Wu, who has heard the man shout the whole time since he boarded the bus. Yuan added,"Passengers boarding the bus please move further down the bus in order not to block the rearview mirror, otherwise a traffic accident will prevent us all from arriving at our destinations!"
