On the first day of school, roads are still being built around some schools in Guangzhou, so the traffic is inconvenient and there are hidden dangers.

?

  On September 1st, the first day of primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou, the morning rush hour of traffic at the school gate followed.

  However, many parents from different districts in Guangzhou reported to Nanfang Daily and Nanfang+reporters that the traffic around many schools is worrying, on the one hand, there is congestion during students’ school hours, on the other hand, many construction sections of school roads also pose security risks to students going to and from school.

Municipal construction materials are placed at the entrance of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, and students take the motorway after school.

  The reporter visited the roads around primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Yuexiu and Panyu, Guangzhou, and found that there are hidden dangers in many school sections. Some citizens expressed their hope to strengthen management in the construction area and quickly optimize the roads around the campus. At the same time, the situation of not following the traffic lights should be promptly diverted to ensure the safety of students’ travel during peak hours.

  After the road was closed, the "send to school" team lined up for 100 meters, and students rode and motor vehicles grabbed the road.

  On the first day of school on September 1, early in the morning, the gate of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School in Dongshankou, Yuexiu District was blocked, and the motorcade to send the children was lined up for hundreds of meters. Mr. Wang, the parent, told the reporter that after sending the children, he waited for nearly half an hour before driving out of the inner lane and entering the road.

  "Originally, the one-way line of Sibei Tongjin in Dongshankou was very narrow, and the road closure construction affected the traffic." Mr. Wang said that Sibei Tongjin Road leads to Dadao Road. Because of the pipeline route transformation along the route, vehicles need to turn left when passing through the entrance of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, because the road is narrow and the traffic efficiency is not high.

  At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the reporter came to the gate of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, and the parents who picked up the children from school gathered around the school gate. Many vehicles that picked up the children stopped at the roadside. The reporter saw at the scene that the sidewalk on the left side of the school gate was filled with construction pipes and bricks, and students after school had to pass through the bicycle lane; There is no sidewalk on the right side of the school gate. About 50 meters ahead, it has been enclosed by the fence of municipal construction. Parents who have finished picking up their children should turn left here.

Temple Beitongjin municipal construction, students pass through the construction site.

  In the construction area, the road was pitted, and excavators and dirt trucks were blocked in the middle of the road. Many students walk on gravel and dirt roads, and they need to pass sideways when passing excavators and dirt trucks. Students who push bicycles should be more careful.

  "The road at the entrance of the Seventh Middle School has just been completed. The asphalt was paved on the evening of the 30 th, and the traffic line was painted on the evening of the 31 ST." The traffic coordinator on duty told the reporter that the construction here has been going on for nearly a month, and it is expected that it will take at least one week in the future.

  The reporter found that although the surrounding road section marked the Sibei Tongjin road section under construction, it failed to solve the problem of students’ travel to and from school. In many Dongshankou areas of the school, many students have been influenced by "pipeline reconstruction and road construction".

  In Baoan Front Street, the one-way street from east to west was half closed by the construction fence, and the original bicycle lane was also used as a motor vehicle lane. During school hours, students in Peizheng Middle School often ride and motor vehicles grab roads, which further increases the difficulty of traffic. Because of the construction of the intersection of Xinqing Road, parents who pick up their children at the south gate of Peizheng Middle School have to detour.

  "This is a municipal project, and there is nothing we can do. I hope that the renovation can be completed early and it will be more convenient for children to go to school." Miss Li, who is waiting for the children in Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, said.

Students pass by the excavator under construction after school.

  There is no traffic light at the T-junction in front of the kindergarten, and the traffic is congested during the rush hour.

  Yesterday, a citizen of Shiqiao, Panyu, Guangzhou, told reporters that at the peak of going to school and leaving school, cars and people will be staged at the T-junction in front of Chunhua Kindergarten, which will make parents worry.

  The map shows that Chunhua Kindergarten is located at the junction of Shixin Road, Xinyi Road of Donghuan Street and Gan Tang Avenue. The reporter observed on the spot that there was a zebra crossing across the two-way motorway of Shixin Road in front of the kindergarten. The traffic on the new road in the city is dense and the speed is fast, but no traffic lights are installed on both sides of the sidewalk. It can be seen from the scene that the sidewalk near the kindergarten is not equipped with a yellow public sign "Slow down in front of the school".

The municipal construction of Baoan Qianjie street occupies the road, and students and motor vehicles rob the road after school.

  "There is no accident, but it will be blocked." He Dage, who has lived nearby for many years, said that there will be congestion at the intersection since the kindergarten resumed classes, which often lasts for about half an hour. According to He Dage’s observation, at the peak of going to school and leaving school, the car parked by parents is basically in front of the kindergarten, which will affect the traffic in the driveway to a certain extent, but it will not be blocked.

  However, some neighbors suggested that traffic lights should be installed as soon as possible to adjust the traffic on this section. "There are many trucks here, so we need to pay more attention to the traffic situation after school starts."

  In the late summer afternoon, in the bus station of No.387 near Beijing Asian Games Village, the bus of this "National Youth Civilization" line left and entered the station in an orderly manner. In the conference room of the office building on the other side, there were faint songs, guitars and drums. Every two weeks, six members of the "Blue Walker" band gather here to rehearse. They are all employees who have worked in the bus company for more than 10 years. Rehearsals usually start at one or two in the afternoon, just when the early drivers and flight attendants in the band get off work.

  This band, with an average age of about 35, is composed of lead singer Hou Xiaohui, guitarist and harmony Shang Hongzhi, lead guitarist Wang Bojun, bassist Han Le, keyboard player Michael Qi and drummer Yu Liang. In the motorcade, their roles are drivers, dispatchers, flight attendants, league branch secretaries, trade union presidents and security administrators.

  Speaking of rock and roll, six people can talk for a long time. There was a very popular band variety this summer, and Hou Xiaohui chased it from the first issue to the last issue. "The heart of rock and roll is always young. I liked it when I was a child, but I still like it now when I am 40 years old."

  Yu Liang, the youngest, is 30 years old. In 2008, he and Wang Bojun both worked as ticket sellers on the No.387 bus, and a partner at the motorcade party gave them the idea of forming a band. Later, in a performance inside the unit, they met Shang Hongzhi, who sang well, and the three of them hit it off. The next year, Han Le, the same age as Yu Liang, joined the band, and the band’s "technical director" Wang Bojun taught him to play the bass with the music theory of guitar.

  Keyboard player Qi Xiao joined the band in 2014. In order to improve his level, he spent nearly 10,000 yuan to configure a professional arranger keyboard. His wife didn’t understand at first. "Isn’t it an electronic organ? Why is it so expensive?" Later, when I saw Michael Qi’s devotion to music, I slowly supported it. This year, Michael Qi also found a teacher to study professional arranger, one-hour 300 yuan. "The band is getting better and better. Don’t lower the overall quality of the band because of me." Michael Qi said.

  Yu Liang is the only one with a professional foundation in the band, but he only learned drum sets for more than a year in junior high school. His music enlightenment is a little different from others. He especially likes traditional culture and "old Beijing" things such as Jingyun drum, Beijing opera, cross talk and Beijing minor. When he first started working, his monthly salary was only more than 3,000 yuan, and he spent more than half on buying drums. When I first practiced with the stereo at home, my neighbors always came to me to "complain". Gradually, his drumming skills became better and better, and later he moved the drum set to the conference room of his unit. One day, the neighbor’s grandfather knocked at the door again and asked him why he didn’t play drums. Every day after dinner, the drums disappeared, and he was somewhat unaccustomed.

  The bus system is usually busy, so music-related things can only be squeezed out. On the morning shift, Wang Bojun, a bus attendant, will ride to the station for more than half an hour at four or five in the morning, put the guitar and speakers in the dispatching room in advance, and rehearse together after everyone gets off work. Shang Hongzhi’s dispatcher’s job is to rest for 48 hours in the last 24 hours. Some time ago, in order to finish the band’s original song "Blue Walker" before the performance, Shang Hongzhi could only stay in the team to write songs after work at ten o’clock in the evening.

  When he is not too busy with the car, Wang Bojun always sits on the flight attendant’s seat and looks out of the window, thinking about music in his mind. "Sometimes a scene on the road inspires a feeling and a melody comes out." He can’t use his mobile phone at work. He repeats the melody in his mind over and over again until he gets off the bus. Now, I do crew work with the car at four or five in the morning, go home to sleep after work in the afternoon, and practice guitar for two hours after waking up — — This is the rhythm of life that Wang Bojun keeps every day.

  Every time she writes a song, Shang Hongzhi’s 14-year-old daughter is always the first listener. He will also give auditions to people from the post-70s to the post-00s, and ask them how they feel. "If you can pass the exam, it means that this song can pass the exam."

  More than half a month ago, the band boarded a prime-time variety show on CCTV and sang their first original song "Blue Walker". On the day of recording the program, an aunt in the audience never believed that they were real bus workers, thinking that they were actors found in the program or "music talents" recruited by the bus company. The propagandist of the bus company who went to the scene told her that tomorrow morning, you should go to the bus station of No.625 Road in Erbozi New Village to see if the driver is the master with the yellow guitar, or go to the dispatching room of No.380 Road in Deshengmen Arrow Tower to see if the dispatcher is the master singing in the middle … … After several explanations, the aunt didn’t believe it.

  The performance gave them a lot of encouragement. After the program was broadcast, colleagues, friends and neighbors came to greet. "I was really busy for two days after the performance." Shang Hongzhi said that many people didn’t know they could still play music. Han Le’s father is reluctant to use his mobile phone to turn on traffic at ordinary times, but he watched their whole performance in the car with traffic that day.

  The band has been rehearsing classics for 10 years, and only this year did it officially have its own band name and its first original song. "‘ in the band name; Blue ’ It symbolizes the sky and the sea, and it also symbolizes the uniforms of bus employees and the colors of new energy buses that have been replaced recently. " Han Le said, and the "walker" means that the bus people have been on the road. Their first original song was the same as the name of the band. Han Xiao wrote the lyrics in two days and polished them with the band for more than half a month. Among them, there is such a lyric: "On the bustling streets in the city, the blue walkers bravely move forward." It is about dreams and hopes, and it is also the voice of bus people. "Everyone’s hard work and Dai Yue is to let passengers enjoy better public travel services." Michael Qi said.

  Although their favorite music styles are different, six people have reached a consensus on writing songs — — Write catchy simple melodies and common feelings of the people, so that everyone can hum them after listening.

  Regarding the future, the wishes of the band members revolve around "holding a special concert". Some people want to perform "unplugged" and show the most authentic sound; Some people want to pay tribute to the idol band and sing those classic songs; Others want to sing for bus workers … … Outside of music, they will always be on the road.
