At 11 o'clock in the afternoon today, when the reporter who had finished his interview mission was driving back to Taiwan and passing through Renmin West Road, he saw from a distance a garden worker wearing orange overalls and a red safety helmet standing on a high-cut construction truck and trimming tree branches with a chainsaw.
At that time, the wind was strong, the branches were shaking, and the leaves were shaking. According to the forecast of the Nantong Meteorological Observatory, the maximum wind force in the local area today can reach 7~8. The reporter realized that this was a tree branch pruning work carried out by garden workers to prevent the branches of street trees from breaking and falling off, and injuring passers-by.

The reporters then got out of the car and came to the operation area to record their work scenes. At the moment, the wind is stronger and the leaves are rattling. Aerial workers work against strong winds and with safety ropes tied around their waists. The reporter standing in the open area of the flat ground clearly felt the push of the wind on the body.
At the foot of the large tree being pruned there is a long branch that is much thicker than the mouth of the bowl. Wang Jianbin, head of the construction team of the greening and gardening company, told reporters: I received a notice from the company yesterday that there was a strong wind today, and we should strengthen inspections. When passing through this area, it was found that a section of the branch had been blown off by the strong wind and was put in the air, which would pose a danger to pedestrians and vehicles, so they immediately disposed of it, and at the same time cleaned up other branches that were likely to break.
The reporter noticed that the tree that was being pruned and cleaned was not a normal street tree, but a tall aspen tree located in the middle of the sidewalk, which was significantly older than other street trees, and the big tree just blocked the blind road. Workers told reporters that the tree belonged to the factory before the widening of Renmin West Road.
Aerial workers constantly manually adjust the height of the long arm of the construction truck around the tree, and then prune the branches with the chainsaw and manual high branch saw. In the wind, he is like a high-altitude pruning warrior.

The reporter learned that street tree pruning is one of the hardest jobs in the garden industry. Pruning leaves may seem simple, but it's not easy. Workers have to stand on the aerial work truck from 3 to 26 meters, holding a chainsaw weighing nearly 10 kilograms. But it is the seemingly ordinary efforts of these ordinary people that make the tree of life in the city continue to grow upward.
