If the driver has a dream


If the driver has a dream

Text / Gu Baoxiang

An 18-year-old boy has just emerged from the shadow of dropping out of school. He wants to find a job to reduce the burden on the family. But Venezuela has just awakened from a financial crisis, and tens of thousands of workers are unemployed in the capital, Caracas.

With the help of his father, he was fortunate enough to work for the bus company. This is a good job. Of course, this cost at least half of his father's salary. Before he dropped out of school, he took a driver's license, which became the key to his inauguration.

The 83 bus he drove was the only bus that went to the suburbs. The girl who sold the ticket was a girl who was not deeply involved. Due to frequent violence, Maduro became a driver and bodyguard.

A week later, Maduro was tired of the errand, the bus was difficult to open, and there was danger at any time. Plus the unemployed people often lost their senses and would make a living on the bus. This became the main cause of Maduro's troubles. The problem that often occurs is that he slams on the brakes and turns back to the theory of the mob who is playing the girl, sometimes even playing a big shot. At the beginning, Maduro was always suffering. After a long time, he summed up a set of methods to punish the mob.

If he does not drive, he will lose a job with considerable income, and his father will be sad. The mother's comfort made him speechless, and he ran his head back to work. Because of his cleverness and courage, three months later, his bus was rated as the safest bus by the city TV station. For a time, the citizens rushed to sit on his bus line.

His bus line, passing through the city hall every morning, the spacious and bright office environment became Maduro's longing. He had a political dream from an early age and was able to enter the city hall.

Two years later, his 83 bus was in trouble. He had suffered the biggest injury in his life because he had offended some of the rivers and lakes on weekdays. The two gang members surrounded the bus and pulled him off the car in an attempt to beat. This does not say that the people in the car have become the tools they vent.

Maduro was in danger and negotiated with the leaders of the gang: he asked all the people to be released. And they are willing to accept their punishment. Maduro was kidnapped for at least three days, and his righteousness saved the passengers of the entire car. Three days later, the police rescued him in the cave, and with his wisdom, he saved the other three kidnappers in the cave.

For a time, he became a hero, and soon he was selected as a trade union member of the public transport system. At the end of 1985, his 19-year-old name went to the city hall to speak in a proper manner, and his speech actually attracted the attention of the then President Lu Xinqi. In 1986, at the age of 20, he became the youngest member of government in the history of Venezuela.

The dream of a driver has just begun. In 1999, he participated in the drafting of the Constitution. The following year, he was recognized by President Chavez and became the Minister of Civil Affairs of the government. In 2019, after Chawitz was re-elected as president, he became a vice president of Venezuela and concurrently served as foreign minister with his unique diplomatic skills.

After Chawitz died, he became the acting president. In the presidential election on April 15, he defeated other competitors and became the new president of Venezuela. He is Maduro.

The president was originally an ordinary driver, but what is different is that this driver has a dream. He walked along the dream and went on, even if he fell and fell. So the driver becomes the president, it is not a legend.
