Ding~

 

Nearly midnight, the shrill sound of the telephone rang, Huang grabbed the phone, asked their name and locations, and then ride the motorcycle flew away quickly.........

 

Midnight 2 o’clock, after carrying a lady to the station, Huang looked at these copper plates in hands and happily thought the debt can be repaid over. He knew a lot of new friends because of beginning the motorcycle courier service with the reason of repayment. He made a decision in his mind - he would continue provide such a service.

 

1960s, Huang and his brothers, originally opened a hotel in Beitou, however, their uncle owed a lot of money, their father - the eldest brother, shelled all the valuable things around the house to repay. But the debt were still not finished, so they started selling fruit, groceries, beverages to repay debt.

   

 

There was a motorcycle in the Huang’s at that time, because someone was engaged in the massage industry in the creditor, he had to arrive a lot of places for work of necessary. Then Huang carries them with the motorcycle, offset some loan by this. Huang works very hard, not merely sell fruit, so long as someone calls the goods, he must deliver too. As time passed, people in Beitou used to want him to deliver goods, Huang's grocery provide service in 24 hours at that time. Shopping, send the things, borrow the toilet, arrange the funeral, so long as needed and expected, Huang had all done.

 

Depending on diligent efforts, Huang is not only help to pay off all debts after his uncle passes away, but also set up people's trust to him. A valuable one in those years, though he burdened debt, he gave repeated exhortations household, if someone didn’t have enough money to pay, he can go to debit, be kind to others.

 

Now, you can see the motorcycle courier service in Beitou everywhere. Not only carrying the kids to school, but also serving to buy things, get the medicine, etc... The "181” inherited by employees, carry forward the benevolent spirit of Huang couple, and become authentic Beitou specialty.
