In the clip, an unnamed woman can be seen fighting back tears as she turns her face away from the window to wipe her eyes. When a vehicle approaches her booth, she then smiles like nothing happened.
As noted in the report, the woman had earlier helped move a broken-down car, causing a delay in the queue. Those lining up were upset, leading several to scold her for the wait.
Netizens conveyed their empathy with the woman. One Weibo user wrote: “I cried while watching this. I’ve had the same experience. Life is not easy.”
It’s so heartbreaking to watch her crying. Life is hard. Please show each other kindness and understanding,” another said.
