Li Sanbao, a railway worker at the Liulinhe duty point of the Taixing Railway, has been on duty for 17 years in this mountain "isolated island" where he eats vegetables and picks on his shoulder and has no mobile phone signal.
In order to ensure the safety of the train, Li Sanbao has to walk 16 kilometers a day, bend over more than 10,000 times, and check the line equipment. After each inspection, he wrote a stroke of the word "positive" on the side of the sleeper as a safety record.
A simple single "positive" word represents the safe operation of the equipment and also means a long wait. Because only by drawing enough "positive" characters can Li Sanbao return home from work to reunite with his family.

In order to miss her, the daughter draws the word "positive" on her father's photo every day, looking forward to her father's return to reunite.
