Soon there will be a small summer, the temperature will rise, but there are always some workers who stick to the front line of work, silently pay and dedicate. To ensure the smooth flow of Chongqing's highway network, there are also a group of people fighting on the front line, even on holidays, they are also busy. On the occasion of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the reporter interviewed a number of post-80s and post-90s party members working on the highway, using a series of summer figures to reflect their responsibilities and persistence in their respective posts, as well as the vanguard and exemplary role played by party members.

Liu Hang, 35, a member of the highway patrol, joined the party in 2019

Patrolling an average of 280 kilometers a day The ground is hot and the black clothes are covered with white sweat

When I saw Liu Hang, he was wearing black overalls, a hat, a fluorescent vest printed with the word "patrol", and the party member badge next to the shoulder police light on his chest shone more in the sun. "I joined the party in the company, thank the party and the state for their trust, and also thank the company's cultivation." Liu Hang said.

Liu Hang works at the Zhongyu Operation Branch of Chongqing Expressway Group and is a road patrol member on the highway, responsible for the road patrol from Shuangfu North to the airport. What exactly should be done for road patrol work? Liu Hang said that basically what happens on the highway is their scope of responsibility, such as traffic guidance, assistance in rescue, investigation of safety hazards and so on. Driving patrols at work, at least 280 kilometers a day, and sometimes more than 500 kilometers a day.

"This summer, the skin will tan a few degrees." Although he knew how to be tanned in the summer, Liu Hang still put on the ice sleeves, he explained: "It is a little to cover a little." ”

When driving patrols, in case of emergencies, road patrol members will quickly deal with them.

Liu Hang and his colleagues have tested that when the summer is hottest, the ground temperature of the road section he is in is as high as 54 degrees. "Sometimes the asphalt is sunburned, and the shoes feel hot when we step on it, but we can't take care of so much, and it is the most important thing to eliminate accidents as soon as possible and restore traffic." He said that in the summer, he and his colleagues' clothes often change color, from black to yellow, he does not know these principles, but sometimes he will directly see that the clothes after being repeatedly wet by sweat reveal a series of curved white sweat stains.

Speaking of this, Liu Hang is unusual: "I am used to it, besides, I am a party member, and I must give play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members and walk ahead." If I do a little more, the road will be back to traffic faster. ”

Qingmao, 24 years old, toll collector at Zhiping Toll Station, joined the party in 2018

A class says thousands of sentences, a summer with two colors of arms

Qingmao is a post-95, 24-year-old. At the age of 21, she became a party member. "When I was a college student village official, the party branch in the village recommended me to join the party, and I was honored to join the Communist Party of China in my most youthful and beautiful years." Qingmao said.

In March 2019, Qingmao entered the Zhongyu Operation Branch of Chongqing Expressway Group and became a toll collector at the g5001 Zhiping toll station of Chongqing Ring Expressway.

When working at the toll window, whether it is the upper or lower crossing, the toll collector will smile and serve, and issue and collect pass cards. "This requires us not to bring the emotions of life to work, and when the vehicle goes down the road, we have to collect a pass card, which also requires us to cope faster and always pay attention to the use of civilized language." Qingmao said that usually a day shift comes down, and at the next window, she has to say thousands of sentences.

In addition to charging fees, Qingmao and his colleagues also take on some of the work of inspecting vehicles. "In order to let the vehicle pass as soon as possible, we are also as unhurried as possible in this link, take photos after viewing and upload the inspection platform." Before going to work, she said, they drink as little water as possible so as not to delay more drivers and passengers.

In the summer, they also pay more attention to the driver's status. "See if the driver is tired or has heat stroke, and if we find them unwell, we will let them rest in the station, and at the same time, we will give them some heat-clearing medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid." Qingmao said that in the summer of the toll booth, their toll collectors will appear this feature - a pair of arms and two colors, "the arm near the window will be tanned more, such as me, now the left hand is darker than the right hand." ”

"When I first joined the company, I thought that the work of the toll collector was only to charge, but I insisted, and I found that although my position was ordinary, the role was great, serving more drivers and passengers, and at the same time, I was also contributing to the smoothness and safety of the highway network." Qingmao said that as a party member, giving play to the exemplary role of party members is reflected in her work, that is, to bear hardships in the front, strengthen faith, be down-to-earth, and fully perform her duties in their respective posts.

She remembers that at most, she had stood under the heat of the sky to guide the traffic for 3 hours, "when directing traffic, where can I still take care of eating, the driver is very anxious, at most when thirsty drink some water."
