In the “jianghu” (the world) of electric three-wheeled cargo vehicles, there is a super powerful “invisible hero”. It is the black rectangular patterned rearview mirror that seems unremarkable but is as important as a superhero. Don’t underestimate this small mirror. Without it, drivers would be like heroes with their eyes blindfolded. When driving, they would be extremely cautious, their hearts pounding, as if they were walking on a road full of traps.

Let’s first take a look at the “dignified appearance” of this rearview mirror. Hey, its square and rectangular shape is just like a serious old pedant, with a stern face all day long, sticking to its post and never taking half a step away. That all-black “cape” is cool and mysterious, as if it is roaring霸气地) at the surroundings: “Be careful, everyone! My job is a big deal for safeguarding safety, and no one is allowed to mess around!” Then look at the patterns on the mirror. Although they are not gorgeous decorations inlaid with gold and silver, they give it some unique “martial arts skills”. These patterns are like magical little suction cups. When raindrops fall on them, it’s as if they have met their “nemesis” and can only slide off obediently. They simply can’t stay on the mirror surface to cause trouble and affect the driver’s “fiery golden eyes”. This mirror is like wearing a super waterproof battle suit. Whether it’s pouring rain or a gentle drizzle outside, it can always keep the mirror surface shiny, allowing the driver to see the situation behind clearly without any carelessness.

When it comes to the function of this rearview mirror, it is simply the “super cheat code” of the electric three-wheeled cargo vehicle. Imagine a driver speeding on the road like the wind. If they want to know what’s going on behind, they can’t keep turning their heads back like a rattle drum all the time. How dangerous that would be! Maybe they would, without paying attention, crash into the vehicle or pedestrians in front like a headless chicken. At the crucial moment, the rearview mirror makes a glorious appearance! It’s like a sudden “third divine eye” popping out behind the driver’s head. With just a gentle sweep of the eyes, all the slightest movements behind the vehicle are as if put into its “pocket” and fully taken in. Whether there is a car chasing up like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey or a pedestrian suddenly emerging like a ghost, nothing can escape its “watchful eye”. Moreover, there is a hidden secret in this rectangular design. Compared with those pitifully small round rearview mirrors, its field of vision is simply a “super wide-angle”. It’s like opening an extra-large floor-to-ceiling window for the driver that allows them to see the whole world, and they can see everything. With it, the driver feels as if they have a “stabilizing magic needle” in their heart when driving. Turning and changing lanes are as graceful as a martial arts master performing peerless lightness skills, with ease and composure.

However, this rearview mirror sometimes acts like a naughty little urchin and causes some hilarious things. Once, a driver had just washed his beloved vehicle so clean that the mirror was so shiny that it could be used to look at one’s own reflection. He was driving happily while humming a little tune. Suddenly, there was a loud “bang”, like a thunderclap out of the blue. He was so scared that he shuddered. When he looked back, goodness me, it turned out that the rearview mirror had been “sneak attacked” by a branch on the roadside that didn’t know its own limits and was given a hard kiss. As a result, a long scratch was instantly left on the mirror, just like a big, crooked scar suddenly appearing on a beautiful face. The driver was so heartbroken that it felt as if his heart had been severely tugged. He kept muttering: “Oh my goodness, my precious mirror!” Another time, an old man was driving an electric three-wheeled cargo vehicle to the market fair, with the vehicle piled high with his own freshly grown, juicy vegetables, ready to make a big profit. But on the way, the rearview mirror seemed to be under a spell and suddenly became loose, starting to sway around like a drunken man. The old man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, like an ant on a hot pan. While fumbling around in a hurry, he was also cursing: “You little rascal, why are you letting me down at this moment? You’re going to kill me!” But this mirror seemed to be deliberately teasing the old man. No matter how he fiddled with it, it wouldn’t behave and still swayed as it pleased. In the end, the old man had no choice but to widen his eyes, and his eyes were like they had springs installed, constantly switching back and forth between the front and the swaying rearview mirror. That look was even more ridiculous than a clown in a circus. If someone beside him had seen it, they would surely have laughed so hard that they got a cramp in their side.

Although the rearview mirror is mischievous occasionally, for the electric three-wheeled cargo vehicle, it is a component more important than the very lifeblood. It is like the most loyal good brother of the driver, accompanying the driver through wind and rain every day, silently shielding the driver from the wind and rain and escorting him. So, all the drivers out there, you must cherish this black rectangular patterned rearview mirror on your vehicle like a treasure. Give it a “full-body check” regularly to see if it is loose and if the mirror surface is clean enough to reflect light. If it “gets sick”, don’t delay for a moment. You have to quickly “treat and heal” it to keep it healthy all the time. Only in this way can we drive on the road like heroes wielding swords traveling the world, safely and with peace of mind. After all, on this road full of various challenges, with this reliable “little guard”, we can have a smooth journey all the way and reach our destination successfully, starting every wonderful trip.
