Hey You! Wait in Line. Thieves in Guangzhou Bus Station
National Day holiday in China is 7 days. Hundreds of millions of Chinese simultaneously take on the road which creates the biggest jam for the transportation network, bus stations, train stations, airports, bike routes and even walkways. The last day of the 7 day holiday is the most traveled. I happened to be one of the people that contributed to the congestion in that day.
I was traveling from ShenZhen to GuangZhou. I took the bus and arrived at the GuangZhou bus station at around 4 pm. There were so much people and I had to wait 20 minutes patiently in line for the taxi.
As soon as I got in front of the taxi, a man and a woman came up from the other direction and wanted to get into my taxi. They did not wait in line. I was very angry. So I shouted to the man: Hey, get in line. This is my taxi. The man shout back in Chinese: Fxxk u, I have never waited in line in my life. The woman wanted to open the door. I was furious and hold the door. The man was continuously yelling and threatening to hit me with his fist.
I have heard a lot about the problems in the GuangZhou bus station. Many of my friends warmed me of not getting into any trouble in that place. Judging from his size and strength, I can easily take on him. I was not going to back down.
What happened next shocked me.
A security guard jumped over the fence with a swift move punched the guy right in the face with two other security guards followed. The man started to yell back but he was not going to fight rather just created a lot of noise. Bulking dog never bites. While all the attention was focused on the security guards and the guy, the woman was trying to stop the fight by pushing the security guards back.
The yelling back and forth lasted about 30 seconds and the man took off with the woman. I saw them went to different directions. The woman disappeared quickly and there were a few other women waiting for her at the corner of the street. The man had another man waiting for him also at the street corner. They were continuously yelling and shouting while walked away
When we all thought that the whole episode was over, one of the security guard searched in his pants and shouted: My cell phone is gone. Where is my cell phone?
All of the security guards started to chase the two men. I checked the pockets in my pants: my wallet and the cell phone are still there. Thank god!
