When the whole country celebrated the New Year's Day holiday, ordinary workers took root in the front line and worked silently in different positions. With little by little labor and dedication, with serious dedication and perseverance, they opened the new year of 2022.

In the early morning of January 1, the Anjiu high-speed railway BreamZhou Yangtze River Bridge, located between Jiujiang City in Jiangxi Province and Huangmei County in Hubei Province, entered the "dreamland". At this time, China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. Bream Zhou Yangtze River Bridge Workshop Inspection Zone Engineer Cheng Yazhuo and 3 co-workers quietly boarded the bridge and opened a special "cross-Chinese New Year's Eve".

Climbing the bridge deck and following the walking board into the main tower of the bridge, Cheng Yazhuo and his co-workers took the elevator to the top of the tower with a vertical height of 252 meters and began their first operation of the new year - to check the hidden dangers of the bridge equipment.

"Try not to think, do not look down, only to adapt to such an environment, in order to complete the inspection task." Cheng Yazhuo said that this is the first time he has greeted the New Year on the Yangtze River Bridge in Bream Island, although he cannot go home, he feels that there is a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the New Year also has an unusual special significance.

It is not only "night walkers" like Cheng Yazhuo who bid farewell to the old and welcome the new year, but also many laborers.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 1st, under the low temperature weather of more than -20 degrees Celsius, the construction site of the Dry Oniongou Special Bridge in the Jilin section of the Shen (Yang) Bai (He) High-speed Railway of the 15th Bureau of China Railway was full of enthusiasm. Steel frames are lined up, vehicles are shuttled, and on the spin drill more than ten meters high, the long drill pipe rotates into the ground, emitting a huge roar. The construction personnel controlled the machinery against the cold wind and checked the operation of the equipment, which was a busy scene.

Winter construction has always been a difficult point in project construction. Especially in the northeast region, frequent heavy snow and low temperature weather are the "roadblocks" for project construction. Braving the severe cold, competing for time and rushing to the construction period, Wang Xiaorong, the person in charge of the Shenbai high-speed rail project of the 15th Bureau of China Railway, appeared on the construction site early in the morning to study the construction plan with technical personnel.

Originally supposed to be on leave on This New Year's Day, he chose to stick to the construction line. On the night before New Year's Day, with deep guilt, he sent his parents' blessings by phone, and the next day he appeared at the construction site as usual. At this time, he was directing on the spot, and he only had the project progress, people's livelihood projects, and social development in his heart.

Thousands of miles away, in the business hall of the Lutou Power Supply Station of the State Grid Shandong Longkou City Power Supply Company, Wang Li, the leader of the sales team, arrived at the post in advance as usual, completed the elimination of the workplace, checked whether the various equipment in the business hall was normal, and prepared for the day's work.

"The grass-roots power supply business hall is open all year round, and I can't remember the first time I have spent New Year's Day in my post." Wang Li joined the work in 2001 and has long been accustomed to the state of electric power people often holidays.

For her and her colleagues, during the New Year's Day, the "power preservation" measures are more stringent than usual. According to the festive weather conditions and the characteristics of electricity consumption, carry out load monitoring; strengthen the operation and maintenance of transmission and transformation distribution equipment, carry out special inspections for important equipment; strengthen user safety services, especially to ensure the reliable power supply of important users... This holiday, more than 70 people in the 13 power supply stations under the jurisdiction of the State Grid Shandong Longkou Power Supply Company adhere to the front line every day to ensure that the emergency repair team and emergency materials are in a state of readiness at all times, ensure the ability to deal with emergencies in the power grid, and "escort" the safe, stable and reliable operation of the power grid.

On the occasion of the Happy New Year, there are also construction personnel at the construction site of the Qingdao International Academician Port Project of the 19th Bureau of China Railway. At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 1st, Zhang Yang, director of the project safety and quality department, began a busy day.

As a key project in Qingdao, the construction of the Qingdao International Academician Port project involves more than ten specialties such as civil air defense, mechanical and electrical, fire protection, etc., coupled with the construction site's proximity to municipal roads, the excavation of deep foundation pits can easily lead to surface or road settlement, which puts forward high requirements for the safety and security of the project.

How to find and deal with safety hazards in a timely manner? This is a question that Zhang Yang thinks about all the time. For this young builder who has been fighting in the construction front line for 10 years, the holiday is also a working day, sloppy. As usual, he called the workers to conduct pre-shift safety education, check the construction progress and quality standards, and check the construction passages, platforms and the safety of each bracket layer by layer in the more than 10-storey building tower, and even the buckle of each bracket.

"To do the work, if you want to do it, you must do it well." It is my pride that the project can achieve safety and stability with my own efforts. Zhang Yang said.

The enthusiasm of the year across the year is undiminished, and on the land of Shenzhou, thousands of such laborers are writing the footsteps of forging ahead into China.
