[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A postal worker affiliated with Gwangju Gwangsan Post Office (Director Park Chunwon) who took care of a dementia-stricken elderly woman he happened to meet on the roadside has recently become known, giving great inspiration.

According to the Jeonnam Regional Post Office on the 21st, Choi Hyuncheol (31), a postal worker affiliated with Gwangju Gwangsan Post Office, discovered an elderly woman looking around while delivering in Suwan-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City at the end of August.

He contacted the guardian through the contact information found on the elderly woman’s necklace and handed her over to her family.

While waiting, he kept the elderly woman company to ease her anxiety and bought her bread, calming the startled elderly woman.

The elderly woman had lost her way while going to have a meal with her family, and the family, who were running around frantically, safely found her after receiving a call from postal worker Choi.

The family expressed sincere gratitude, saying, “We realized that warm kindness still remains in this harsh world.”

Postal worker Choi, who politely declined any reward, said, “I just took care of her for a moment because she felt like my own grandmother; I simply did what was natural,” and added, “I will do my best as a public servant to ensure that small but warm kindness can be conveyed in our society.”
