A warm-hearted citizen reported to the police in Zhuzihu Police Station, Beitou Sub-bureau, Taipei City Government Police Department, when they found an elderly man sitting alone in a pavilion near the Xiaoguanyin parking lot. Concerned about the abrupt weather change on the mountain, the police were requested to assist. Officer Liao Shixian from the Zhuzihu Police Station arrived and found the elderly man unresponsive to inquiries, without identification, and looking vacant. After bringing the elderly man back to the station for rest due to the slightly cool weather, Officer Liao noticed a senior citizen's exclusive EasyCard around the man's neck. Through the card number, the police were able to contact the subway company, track down the man's identity (surnamed Liu, born in 1984, resident of Shilin), and successfully reach his family. Amidst the heartfelt gratitude from the family towards the police for their assistance, it was revealed that Mr. Liu mistakenly believed he had to work on Yangmingshan, leading him to leave home unnoticed in confusion. Mr. Liu, who was alone on Yangmingshan, was assisted back home by Officer Liao Shixian from Beitou Sub-bureau's Zhuzihu Police Station after becoming lost at Xiaoguanyin parking lot pavilion. Beitou Sub-bureau reminds families with elders or those in need of care to always keep an eye on their whereabouts and ensure they carry identifiable items to quickly contact in case of emergencies.
