Yang Jian, a security guard at a shopping mall in Xi'an, remained motionless while standing guard at the entrance, leading many people to mistake him for a wax figure. Recently, videos of him on duty have gone viral on the internet. On the 23rd, Yang Jian said in an interview with China News Service that he was surprised by the popularity of the internet, but did not want everyone to imitate it.
Yang Jian, who is 25 years old this year, grew up with his grandmother and was tirelessly taught by her. He has a serious and responsible heart towards his family, friends, and work. According to Yang Jian, he has worked in baking, overseas work and other professions. Later, he chose to work as a security guard because it is close to home and convenient for taking care of his family. I have been working in security for over three months now, and I have become accustomed to the hardship and monotony of security work.

Due to Yang Jian's height of 1.92 meters, good appearance, and good temperament, he was specially assigned to a post with high foot traffic in the mall to perform duty. On that day, the reporter saw at the scene that Yang Jian's eyes, mouth, and body remained motionless while on duty. From a distance, he looked like a "wax figure". Even if there was occasional sweat or mosquito interference, he would not "move" because it would occasionally attract close observation and discussion from others.
I think if one's facial expressions and movements are too varied in their work position, it is a lack of seriousness and rigor in their work attitude, "Yang Jian said. As an image worker in a shopping mall, standing posture is very important, and at the same time, after working in security for a long time, their body, eyes, and other parts will gradually adapt.
Faced with the popularity of the internet, Yang Jian has also attracted a group of "fans" to come and "check in", and there are often people standing next to Yang Jian for group photos. Yang Jian told reporters that he is usually a shy person and was surprised by his sudden rise to fame. As for the "secret" of standing posture, he said that his body and eyes are not completely motionless, but it is difficult for ordinary people to discover, but he does not want everyone to imitate them.
I saw it when I just came out of the mall, and my friend also asked if this person was a wax figure. After careful examination, it turned out to be a real person, "said He Siting, a resident of Xi'an. As a security guard, her dedication and professionalism in an ordinary job are admirable.
According to the mall, whenever there are many onlookers, they will provide guidance to avoid safety accidents. Now, the security department of the shopping mall is actively promoting the "work mode" for Yang Jian, requiring every image position to stand dignified and serious. Meanwhile, with the hot weather, job management has become more humane, ensuring the physical and mental health of personnel.
Zhang Ning, the manager of the mall's security department, expressed that the unexpected rise of security guard Yang Jian to fame for the company is also very joyful. His actions have also enhanced the influence of the mall's security and quality services, and his work attitude has been recognized by the company.
