A heartfelt note left by a boy in his mother’s ride-hail car in which he appealed for passengers to leave positive reviews, has touched the hearts of many people on mainland social media.
On January 4, the mother who works as a ride-hailing service driver in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in southeastern China, was filmed alongside the yellow handwritten note attached to her seat.
It was titled “Welcome to My Car” and the message read: “To the beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen, I hope you can take a precious moment after your ride to support my mum’s work. At the end of your trip, please click ‘like’ and select a few service tags. Thanks for your support.”
The viral video shows the mother explaining that her son, now in his second year of junior high school, wrote the note while in the fifth grade of primary school, and it has remained in her car ever since.
“He was misbehaving once, so I took him with me in the car while I was working for a whole day. He realised how hard it is to be a ride-hailing driver,” she said.
The boy’s note has struck a chord on mainland social media.
