At twelve o’clock on New Year’s Eve, Shen Shizhen saw off the tourists from the south to the north to go home. They had a ＂Hundred Family Banquet＂ in the office for the New Year.

Sitting around a table with my family and eating a family reunion dinner cooked by them is probably what most people think of New Year’s Eve. However, there are a group of people who still stick to their posts on New Year’s Eve. Their persistence is to ensure the smooth travel of passengers from south to north. Kang Bin, director of the North Passenger Transport Workshop of Chongqing Railway Station, is one of them.

"The train arrived at 16: 08. Did you get all the gloves? Check it again, it’s sloppy. " At 15: 20 on January 24, Kang Bin said with a walkie-talkie. Then, he strode forward to the duty room and organized personnel to make relevant preparations.

At 15: 30, eight staff members arrived.

Wear masks, rubber gloves and goggles … Kang Bin and his colleagues skillfully put on protective tools and walked to the exit. "Everyone will be divided into 4 groups, 2 people in each group, take temperature one by one, wear protective gear and pay attention to safety." Along the way, Kang Bin kept telling the team members.

At 15: 40, all the team members are in place. Everyone stands in their positions, takes out hand-held temperature detectors, measures each other’s temperatures, and tests the instruments. After everything is in order, they wait for the outbound passengers.

At 16: 10, a large number of passengers emerged at the exit. Two staff members kept order at the scene and let everyone line up in turn. The staff members stood at the gate exit and took the temperature of each passenger. Kang Bin told chongqing morning post, an upstream news reporter, that there are now more than 40 trains that leave and stop in Wuhan every day (Wuhan keeps turning back immediately), and each train has at least 600 passengers. They have to take the temperature of the passengers on each train, and the workload is very heavy.

At 16: 30, the temperature measurement is over. Kang Bin returned to the office with the team members, took off his glasses, gloves and washed his hands … "Let’s rest for a few minutes, and the next bus is at 16: 26." Kang Bin said.

"Today, we have more than 200 people on duty, many of whom give up their vacations and rush to the front line without hesitation." Kang Bin said that at the age of 45, he is an old railway passer-by. He has been working for 23 years, and he can’t remember how many New Year’s Eve years he hasn’t been at home. Originally, he took a break on the 23rd. Because of special circumstances, he arrived at his post early at 23: 00 on the 22nd, and together with his colleagues, he went all out to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

"On New Year’s Eve this year, another group of colleagues spent it together." Kang Bin said that this year, colleagues agreed that everyone would bring a dish and have a "hundred-family banquet" together.
