On the “battlefield” of our daily deliveries, the electric three-wheeled truck is my capable and reliable warrior. However, before, it was just like those “identical models” on the street, being very proper and having nothing special about it, especially those ordinary rearview mirrors, which were really dull to look at. Until one day, while surfing the Internet, I accidentally came across a pair of black diamond-shaped rearview mirrors with patterns on them. At that moment, it was as if I had been cast a spell, and I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

The unique diamond-shaped outline seemed to carry a mysterious exotic charm. Among a bunch of round and square rearview mirrors, it was like a cold and aloof lone ranger, exuding a strong aura. And the delicate patterns on the black mirror surface loomed in the light, resembling ancient and mysterious totems, exuding a unique kind of refinement. This pair of rearview mirrors instantly ignited my heart’s pursuit of individuality. I immediately decided to give my beloved vehicle a “gorgeous transformation”.

As soon as the express delivery arrived, I couldn’t wait to start the “great cause” of installation. I thought that with my “mediocre” skills of changing light bulbs and repairing tables and chairs in my daily life, installing a rearview mirror would be a piece of cake. But reality gave me a heavy blow. The structure of the handlebars of the electric three-wheeled truck was as complex as a maze, and the positions of the screw holes were so tricky that it seemed they were deliberately against me. It was even difficult to get the wrench in, and it felt like I was performing surgery on the machinery of the microscopic world. After exerting a great deal of effort, I finally managed to fix the rearview mirrors in place. When I looked up, I almost got so angry that I lost my temper. One of the two rearview mirrors slanted towards the sky, as if it were prying into the mysteries of the universe; the other tilted towards the ground, as if it were searching for lost treasures. No matter how I looked at them, they just felt awkward. I tossed and turned them back and forth countless times, sweating profusely, and my clothes on the back were soaked through, sticking tightly to my body. In the end, having no other choice, I had to swallow my pride and ask Master Zhang next door, who repairs vehicles, for help. While skillfully adjusting the rearview mirrors, Master Zhang smiled and joked with me, “The rearview mirrors you chose are really full of personality. The installation difficulty is almost on par with installing parts on a spaceship.” I scratched my head awkwardly beside him, thinking to myself: indeed, beautiful things always require a great deal of effort.

Just a few days after installing this pair of “cool black diamond-shaped mirrors”, there was an “awkward incident” that made people laugh and cry. Once, I was driving to deliver goods and waiting for a red light at an intersection. The driver brother in a car next to me rolled down the window and shouted at me curiously, “Master, what kind of high-tech gadget is installed on your truck? It looks really amazing!” I was taken aback for a moment. When I looked in the direction he pointed, it turned out to be my diamond-shaped black rearview mirrors. I smiled and explained to him, “Brother, these are just ordinary rearview mirrors, just with a special shape.” The brother suddenly understood and didn’t forget to praise, “The current designs are really bold. I thought it was some new type of vehicle detection device.” When the green light came on, I drove on. I felt so delighted in my heart that I felt like I wasn’t driving an electric three-wheeled truck, but a concept car from a future technology exhibition.

Another time, I went to a residential area to deliver goods. As soon as I parked the truck, a group of children surrounded it like they had discovered a new continent. One of the little boys opened his eyes wide and pointed at my rearview mirrors, saying, “Look! The eyes of this three-wheeled truck are so strange. They’re like two big black jewels, and there are mysterious patterns on them. Is it going to transform into a super robot?” The other children also started chattering. Some said that these rearview mirrors could shoot lasers, and some said that they could make the three-wheeled truck fly. Standing aside, I couldn’t help laughing heartily when I saw their innocent and lovely looks. I told the children that these were just rearview mirrors, but they were skeptical. Their curious eyes seemed to be saying: How could such a magical thing be just an ordinary mirror?

Although this pair of rearview mirrors has attracted a lot of attention in terms of appearance, it is even more of a capable player in terms of practicality. The diamond-shaped design cleverly broadens the field of vision. In the past, when turning or changing lanes while driving, I was always very cautious, like a sneaky thief, for fear that a vehicle would suddenly appear from behind. Now, I just need to take a quick glance at the rearview mirrors, and I can have a clear view of the situation behind. Once, I was preparing to turn at an intersection. I clearly saw from the rearview mirrors that a motorcycle was speeding towards me from behind, and the rider was wearing headphones and didn’t notice the situation ahead at all. If it weren’t for the timely warning of this pair of “black diamond-shaped mirrors”, when I made that turn, I would definitely have had a “close encounter” with him. I quickly stopped and let out a long sigh of relief after the motorcycle passed, feeling even more grateful to this pair of rearview mirrors.

However, this pair of rearview mirrors can also cause me a little trouble occasionally. Because of their relatively unique shape and larger size, when navigating through some narrow alleys, I’m always worried about hitting the walls or other vehicles next to me. Once, when delivering goods, I had to pass through a particularly narrow alley with high walls on both sides. I drove carefully, staring intently at the rearview mirrors, like a dragon guarding its treasure, for fear of any accidents. As it turned out, what I feared happened. Just halfway through the alley, I heard a “creak” sound, and the rearview mirror rubbed against the wall. My heart tightened, and I quickly got out of the car to check. Fortunately, there was only a slight scratch on the edge of the rearview mirror, and no major damage was caused. Since then, every time I pass through a narrow place, I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope, with my nerves highly tense, for fear of hearing that worrying scraping sound again.

Once, it suddenly rained heavily on the way to deliver goods. Big raindrops crackled and hit the black rearview mirrors, instantly blurring my vision. I was extremely anxious and quickly found a safe place by the roadside to stop. I rummaged through the car and found a rag, carefully wiping the rearview mirrors. But shortly after I finished wiping, new raindrops fell on them again, like a naughty child deliberately causing trouble. I could only silently pray in my heart for the rain to stop quickly and continue moving forward at a speed slower than a snail. That feeling was really uncomfortable. Finally, when I managed to reach the destination, the rain gradually stopped. Looking at the rearview mirrors that became clear again, I let out a long sigh of relief, feeling like I had gone through a tough battle.

Once, I accidentally drove over a big pothole on the way to deliver goods, and the vehicle jolted violently. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention. But when I was preparing to turn at the next intersection, I suddenly found that the rearview mirror on the right side was a bit loose, and the lens was wobbling. My heart skipped a beat. If it fell off, it would be really troublesome. I quickly found an open space to park and carefully checked it. I found that one of the screws fixing the rearview mirror was loose, probably due to that jolt just now. I took out the toolbox and it took me a great deal of effort to tighten the screw, and I even got a small blister on my hand. Since then, every time I drive through a potholed road, I’m like a startled bird, constantly paying attention to the situation of the rearview mirrors.

But these little episodes don’t affect my love for this pair of black diamond-shaped rearview mirrors with patterns at all. They make my electric three-wheeled truck unique, with an extremely high rate of people turning their heads to look. Every time I go out, it’s like walking on a catwalk, attracting a lot of attention from passers-by. They also add countless joys and a great sense of security to my delivery journey, just like two loyal companions accompanying me all the way. Folks, if you also want to add some equipment that combines both personality and practicality to your beloved vehicles, you might as well try this special kind of rearview mirror. Maybe you can also harvest a different wonderful story!
