Giving Directions by WeChat Voice: Don’t Walk the Wrong Way to Dumplings

Tonight, Xiao Chen planned to take a friend to a particularly famous dumpling restaurant for dinner. It was the friend’s first time in this area, so Xiao Chen worried he might get lost. He sent the address in advance and said, “When you arrive at the subway station, message me, and I’ll confirm it.”

Around seven o’clock, the friend messaged on WeChat: “I’m out of the station, but there are two exits here. Which one should I take?” Xiao Chen replied immediately with a voice message: “Come out from Exit A first. After you come out, walk straight ahead. Don’t worry—first, look for a traffic light.”

Two minutes later, the friend said again: “I see the traffic light, but there’s a crossroads ahead. I don’t know whether I should turn right or left.” Xiao Chen continued: “First cross at the traffic light, then turn right. After turning right, keep walking. At the second intersection, you’ll see a pharmacy. The dumpling restaurant is opposite the pharmacy, and there’s a red sign at the entrance—it’s very obvious.”

As the friend walked, he became worried again: “What if I walk the wrong way?” Xiao Chen said: “If you walk the wrong way, stop and send me your location, and I’ll tell you how to go. If you see the pharmacy, it means you’re going the right way. It’s not far from the restaurant.”

Soon, the friend finally arrived. He smiled and said, “You explained it so clearly—I didn’t make any wrong turns at all.” Xiao Chen smiled too: “Next time during Spring Festival, we can also make dumplings together. In China, eating dumplings for the New Year is very common, and people think it’s fun.”
