“Feliz año nuevo！ (Happy New Year)" Chinese New Year's Eve evening, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve meal with colleagues and watching with relatives at home, Li Shuanglin, a "post-90s" security guard from Suzhou, Anhui Province, sent New Year wishes to relatives and friends in Spanish on WeChat. Then he plugged in his headphones, opened the book, and continued to wander in his learning world.

The Spring Festival in 2022 is the first Spring Festival that Li Shuanglin spent in Shanghai, and it is also the first time he left his family to spend the Spring Festival alone. Homesickness is inevitable, but he feels that this is a rare and fulfilling Spring Festival.

By reciting the Spanish poem "Me gustas cuando callas" (I like you are silent), Li Shuanglin became the focus of the company's annual meeting. "After I finished reading, everyone applauded, probably I had rarely heard Spanish before, my colleagues said it was very good, and a few said they wanted to learn from me." When Li Shuanglin recalled to the reporter of China and Singapore, his eyes shone brightly.

With such a display platform, Li Shuanglin also drummed up enough energy. "During the Spring Festival, I made a schedule for myself to finish the book by myself." Li Shuanglin showed reporters the Spanish books that he had read most of the books in his hand, "In the past, the New Year was to go to relatives, eat and drink, every New Year's Day was three pounds fat, this year can not go back to the New Year, the weight is estimated not to grow, but there are goods in the brain, but I feel more rewarding." ”

Li Shuanglin's encounter with Spanish began in a rather interesting place, Xinhua Bookstore. Funny tongue-popping, beautiful pronunciation... When Li Shuanglin first heard this language, "I liked it at once, it was so good." Li Shuanglin also went to ask the salesman what was broadcast on the radio. Since then, Li Shuanglin has been addicted to Spanish.

Standing guard and patrolling are two important components of Li Shuanglin's daily work at present, which means that the time he can use to study every day can only be after the shift at night. In the security industry, which is known as "24-hour non-closing", Li Shuanglin still insists on reading books or listening to spoken language for one or two hours a day, and he only has one day off every week, and he basically spends it on studying.

Although he has not yet participated in the professional Spanish level test, Li Shuanglin believes that his Spanish level should be at the second level, "I have tested it myself on the Internet, it should be an intermediate level, can carry out daily conversation, master the language of life communication." ”

From failing to try to do business to switching to security, Li Shuanglin did not collapse, but re-planned his life. "When I was doing business before, people were more impetuous, but now I can calm down and start learning and think about what path I want to take in the future." Li Shuanglin sighed.

In addition to Spanish, Li Shuanglin recently took the National English Proficiency Test (PETS). Talking about his New Year's resolutions, he said: "I hope that my Spanish and English can go hand in hand and make myself better through my own learning." ”

As one of the "guardians" of the city, there are not a few talented and hard-working young people like Li Shuanglin in the security industry. However, due to the prejudice of society against this profession, the security industry is experiencing a "labor shortage" year by year.

Chinese the 100 occupations released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of 2021, such as marketers, security guards, and waiters have always been "among the best". According to Fang Fulai, president of Shanghai Yingdun Security Service Co., Ltd., the lack of work has long existed in the security industry, and in the past two years, due to the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the demand for security has become larger, and the shortage of work is more serious than before.

How to retain and attract young people into the security industry, has become an urgent problem to be solved, in addition to improving salary and treatment, Fang Fulai believes that management should also be young, to timely find hidden talents, and teach according to their aptitudes, to provide them with career planning with room for growth.
