Noyan Rona’s unceasing devotion to Shanghai’s development

(Hailing from Turkey, Noyan Rona is known as a “Foreign Lei Feng” in Shanghai.)

There are nearly 60,000 taxis running on Shanghai’s streets today. The chance of taking the same taxi is therefore very small, let alone meeting the same driver. But such a coincidence happened to a foreigner named Noyan Rona, who was very surprised when he was recognized by the same driver. Behind the coincidence there lies some explanatory rationale. Noyan is well known in Shanghai’s taxi trade. He used to train taxi drivers English. Also, he is a service assessor of the taxi trade.

Apart from that, at intersections, in neighborhood committees, blood centers, and nursing homes, people can find the Turkish foreigner. Having been in China for three decades, he cherishes his “exclusive memory” of China’s reform and opening up. From a young foreign student to a warm-hearted Shanghai resident, he shows us his Chinese heart and his love for Shanghai.
