📦 In 2024, China's express delivery industry hit a record-breaking milestone by handling a whopping 170 billion parcels! 🚚 This phenomenal growth is thanks to the relentless efforts of countless couriers, food delivery riders, and cab-hailing drivers who keep our e-commerce engine running smoothly. 💪
As these new employment models surge in the dynamic digital economy, ensuring the rights and well-being of these hardworking individuals has become a national priority. 🛡️
Enter Beijing's Jianguomen subdistrict, where the local government has rolled out an innovative solution: the "warm-hearted lounge." 🏠 These lounges offer a much-needed sanctuary for couriers to relax and recharge during their hectic schedules. 💤☕
During a recent visit, CGTN's Xu Jinhui chatted with several couriers, gaining firsthand insights into how these lounges are making a difference. "Having a comfortable place to unwind really helps us manage the long hours and demanding tasks," shared one delivery rider. 😊
These initiatives are more than just a break from the grind; they're a testament to Beijing's commitment to supporting those who keep the city's heartbeat strong. ❤️ As the e-commerce landscape continues to evolve, such supportive measures ensure that couriers can perform their roles effectively while maintaining their well-being.
