Dawan News "This is my last peak summer in the post, as a 'veteran', I will do my best to serve every citizen, so that everyone can use electricity with confidence in the hot summer." At 21 o'clock on July 30, Chen Xing, a "veteran" of power who carried out emergency repair work on Anqing Road in Hefei City, said.
In 1996, Chen Xing, with a number of third-class merits and the title of "Outstanding Communist Party Member", was transferred from the army to work in the then Hefei Power Supply Bureau. In the past 30 years, from the electricity security of a family to the upgrading of power facilities in a community, he has always led by example and served on the front line. Since 2004, he has served as the leader of the emergency repair class, and his team has served nearly 200,000 times, and has won the "May Day" labor award of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and the title of model team in the power industry of Anhui Province.
In case of equipment failure, start for emergency repair as soon as possible
At 6 p.m. on July 30, during the evening rush hour, the city roads were full of traffic, and citizens were busy going home. The busiest moment of the day for Chen Xing and his colleagues has just begun. "Hello, what is the problem?" The low-voltage repair class of Luyang Power Supply Branch of Hefei Power Supply Company receives emergency repair and consultation calls from residents in the jurisdiction from time to time, and they will set off as soon as possible if they encounter equipment failures.
At 18:58, the emergency repair team received a work order, and Mr. Zhang, a resident of the Anqing Road Construction Engineering Compound, reported that there was a power outage at home, Chen Xing immediately called to understand the situation, and quickly rushed to the scene with his colleagues. In less than 15 minutes, the "little yellow car" was parked steadily at the entrance of the community. "I turned on the air conditioner at home just now, and suddenly the power went out, I checked it myself carefully, and I don't know what's going on." Mr. Zhang said.
Chen Xing and his colleagues opened the meter box and skillfully used the multimeter to measure and check, and soon found that the air switch tripped caused by overload of electricity. After quick on-site processing, the fault was eliminated, and the power supply was restored to Mr. Zhang's home again. In order to ensure the stability of electricity consumption in summer, Chen Xing and his colleagues repeatedly inspected the inside of the meter box and tightened the relevant wiring and parts.
At 33 degrees at night, the power is still running out
At 7:40 p.m., it was getting dark. Chen Xing was about to leave the scene, and Ms. Wang, another resident of the community, greeted her again, she said that after the ambush, there was an old air conditioner at home that was always not too cool at noon and night, and occasionally could not start normally, which may be caused by the unstable voltage at home.
Chen Xing carefully inspected Ms. Wang's home and the building's meter box, but found no fault points. They brought an insulated ladder from the repair vehicle to inspect the 220-volt electric fire line of the building more than 2 meters high, and soon found that the puncture clamp part was aging. "The fault is here, once the electricity consumption increases sharply in the summer, it will cause the voltage to be unstable, and in severe cases, it may also burn out the line." Chen Xing said to Ms. Wang.
There was no time to communicate more, Chen Xing and his colleagues immediately carried out on-site elimination, and called the team to inform them to urgently send new spare parts. It was getting darker and darker in the community, and under the illumination of the flashlight, the three of them tacitly cooperated, dismantled the old parts in turn, and picked up the tools for fixing. Even though it was already night, the temperature was still around 33 degrees Celsius, and everyone was already sweating, and the mosquito bites attracted by the lights made the taste very unpleasant.
At 21 o'clock, the elimination work was completed. Chen Xing conducted field measurements in residents' homes, and the voltage remained stable at all times. Because they have been busy with work, Chen Xing and his colleagues have not yet eaten dinner, so they buy a boxed lunch from a fast-food restaurant and sit at the entrance of the nearby Feifeng Street to eat quickly, perhaps later they will have to move on to the next work point.
After graduating from high school, he joined the army and changed careers with multiple third-class merits
Chen Xing, who is about to turn 60 years old, is about to retire, and this is his last peak summer on the job. According to Chen Xing, in September 1982, he graduated from high school, responded to the call of the country to enlist in the army, and was sent to the front line of the Sino-Vietnamese border not long after.
June 11, 1985, this day is an unforgettable day for Chen Xing. On that day, he and his comrades were transporting armaments to the front line, and less than 3 kilometers from the front line, the bridge was blown up by enemy artillery fire. At this critical juncture, he and his comrades-in-arms jumped out of the car and waded forward with supplies on their backs. In the midst of the artillery fire, they never stopped running, and finally ensured the smooth delivery of supplies.
In 1996, Chen Xing, who had a number of third-class merits and the title of "Outstanding Communist Party Member", was transferred from the army to work in the then Hefei Power Supply Bureau. For nearly 30 years, he has been engaged in low-voltage emergency repair work. Since 2004, he has served as the leader of the emergency repair class, serving more than 2 million residents in Luyang District.
From the electricity guarantee of a family to the upgrading of power facilities in a community, he has always led by example and served on the front line. According to statistics, since serving as the squad leader, Chen Xing's team has served nearly 200,000 times.
Be sure to stand on the last shift
"Due to the backwardness of hardware, technology and management, the power supply in Hefei in the 90s was relatively tight during the peak summer. Every summer, not only will the emergency repair be 'bursting orders', but the recovery time is also long, and the public especially does not understand. However, Hefei's power grid has already undergone great changes, and the reliability of urban power supply has increased year by year, and electricity consumption in summer has become more and more reliable. Chen Xing said.
Since the beginning of the ambush, the high temperature has continued, and the general public's demand for electricity has been increasing. Before the peak summer, Hefei Power Supply Company organized employees to carry out multiple rounds of "dragnet" inspections on the distribution network lines in the jurisdiction to eliminate shortages, and timely upgrade equipment. After the ambush, the staff took turns to be on duty 24 hours a day to deal with the repair work order in time.
In the past 30 years of professional career, from the soldier in the prime of life to the master who is about to retire, Chen Xing has always maintained the true character of a soldier in every hot summer, conscientiously doing a good job in every emergency repair and service, and ensuring that countless citizens spend the hot summer "cool" one after another. "I'm about to leave my familiar position, and I'm very reluctant to say something from my heart. But I will definitely stand on the last shift and serve everyone wholeheartedly. Chen Xing said excitedly.
