Wen Rui, 27, is the most common employee of the Electrification Company of the China Railway 15th Bureau. "I joined the company on February 27, 2019, and it will be a whole few days."

One year ago, Wen Rui did not expect that this job would closely link him with the fate of the city of Wuhan.

Wuhan Second Yangtze River Bridge

Every night from 6 to 11 o'clock, the prominently illuminated "Wuhan Come", "China Come", and "Honoring the Anti-Epilogue Heroes" on the Wuhan Yangtze River Second Bridge will light up under Wen Rui's gaze on time. And his duty is to ensure that these lights shine on the Yangtze River completely and continuously.

In a video from Wen Rui, he said, "My pride is to see the inspiring lights shining on the city!"

"I'm single. I'll be on duty this New Year!"

Wen Rui is an employee of the Wuhan Yangtze River Main Bridge Colorization and Brightening Project of China Railway Construction China Railway 15th Bureau Electrification Company, responsible for the lighting maintenance of Wuhan Yangtze River Second Bridge.

"Usually we are all 4 people on duty, because we have only one on duty during the Spring Festival." When talking about why we chose to stay, Wen Rui ’s reason was a bit cute. "When I met a year ago, the leader asked me if I would like to stay on the Spring Festival. On duty, I think my colleagues have wives and children at home. I am still single and I have overtime pay during the Spring Festival, so I will stay. "

On January 21, Wen Rui's colleagues left one after another, and Wuhan closed the city two days later.

"I originally planned to be on duty from the 29th to the 7th day of the first month, and I could go home on the 8th day, but I didn't expect it to be like this ..."

The sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia disrupted everyone's plans, so Wen Rui could only stay in a small board room under the Yangtze River Second Bridge alone. For more than a month, he always lived alone and stood by his 24 hours. post.

"This project started at the end of 2018 and is mainly responsible for the color painting, lighting and local landscape adjustment of the four bridges along the Yangtze River in Wuhan. After the installation and commissioning is completed, our work has been transferred to bridge lighting maintenance support, Wuhan Military Games and During the National Day light show, we participated in the guarantee debugging. "

Project Commencement

"I think my decision is correct"

On January 22, Wen Rui received a notice from his superiors to prevent the spread of the epidemic into wartime. The opening and closing time of the bridge lighting was changed from 6 to 12 pm to 7 to 9 pm.

That day, from 11 am to 3 pm, for four hours, Wen Rui wore a thick protective suit, double-layered mask to climb up and down, and reset more than 20 time controllers at different positions on the bridge deck.

"These two days were when Wuhan closed the city. My mother made several phone calls a day asking me about my situation, like an ant on a hot pot."

"I can only comfort her that the Jiangtan Park I am in is safe. This place is completely different from the vocal scene a few weeks ago. No one is walking around."

"Boring" is a true portrayal of the people at home every month in the past month. Although there is a job, except for work inspection 24 hours a day, Wen Rui is actually the same as everyone, except that the place of his house is In a small board room converted from a container.

Without a TV or Wi-Fi, a mobile phone is one of Wen Rui's few pastimes. "I don't like to play games very much. In addition to videos with my family, I just constantly update Weibo, vibrato, etc. to get news."

"I haven't heard any sounds other than myself for many days. When I'm not playing with my phone, I can even hear my own breathing and heartbeat, as well as the sound of flowing water from the Yangtze River, not far from me."

"Although sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, but every night when the lights on the Erqiao are on, I know that there is one in every isolated street, every community with no footholds, every home that can't travel. Both eyes were watching the slowly flowing river water and the Wuhan bridge illuminated by the haze.

The night lights turned on as promised, as if telling everyone who cares about Wuhan. Although the city was closed, it was still operating normally.

"January 27 was the day that impressed me the most"

At six o'clock in the evening on January 27, Wen Rui normally wrapped her coat and put on a mask to work. But before he got to the place, he found that the words of lighting changed from the original landscape painting to "Wuhan Come", "These four simple characters stand on the ropes of the cable-stayed bridge that is 2 kilometers long and 100 meters high. The flaming lights reddened the river and also illuminated the night sky in Wuhan. "Wen Rui recalled.

Starting from January 27, the words "China will win", "Wuhan will win", "Wuhan refuel", "Thank the people across the country to pay tribute to the epidemic-resistant heroes" and other words flashed on the bridge.

"This made me feel a sense of conviction. I felt that I was guarding not only the lights, but also a hope and a spirit, so I would consciously be more careful during the inspection, and I would confirm again and again after the inspection. , I hope these words can be fully displayed in the eyes of every Wuhan citizen who looks towards the bridge. "

"Return to normal is the best standard"

Loose lines, short circuits, trips, poor contacts, etc. are all common problems in lighting maintenance. During this time, Wen Rui was most impressed with the overhaul on a rainy night.

After the second bridge was lit that day, the lights on some of the stay cables were not on. Wen Rui's preliminary judgment was that several controllers were short-circuited and tripped due to rain. Several other places are easy to talk about, but one of the controllers in question is located outside the bridge guardrail. Maintenance requires a person to turn over the guardrail. The width of the place to stand is less than one meter.

"Usually, we will record this situation and wait for the bridge to be repaired during the day.

But in a special period, I thought about it and decided to go for maintenance immediately. Wen Rui recalled that the bridge in the rainy night was extremely cold, but Wen Rui was sweating heavily, because the Second Yangtze River Bridge was two kilometers long, and he could not ride a bicycle on it. The short circuit was not the cause of the fault. To this end, he ran back and forth 4 times, a full 16 kilometers.

He finally found the trouble spot, and when everything was dealt with, it was already 11 o'clock in the night.

Regardless of wiping the sweat from his face, Wen Rui took out his mobile phone and replied the words "return to normal" in the work group.

"The epidemic is over. I want to go home with my parents."

Every few days, Wenrui went to the supermarket to buy some necessities. "I ate too much fast food. I really want to eat my noodles in my hometown. I cooked my own bowl of noodles during the New Year and made them. Usually I like to eat halogen. "Wen Rui talked to reporters.

"Looking at the declining number of diagnoses every day, I want to stick to it, spring is coming, then everything will return to normal, and I will go home to accompany my parents. I have n’t been home for a long time. What I miss is my family.

Behind us is the whole of China, Wuhan, come on, China will win! "
