[Commentary] In Chengdu, there is a loving vegetarian restaurant. Since its opening in 2017, it has been insisting on providing free breakfast and dinner to sanitation workers. It is open on holidays. On average, more than 100 free meals are provided every day. So far, more than 80,000 people have enjoyed this heart-warming and heart-warming meal.
On April 27, the reporter came to this restaurant and saw a woodcarved number plate "Environmental Workers Love Station" hanging on the door. There were more than ten registers on the small table at the door, and one of them was opened with dense records. Name and time of registration of sanitation workers. It is understood that the partners of the restaurant are all volunteers who participate in public welfare activities throughout the year. During the opening preparation stage, they decided to introduce the "Environmental Workers Caring Post" into the store and have always insisted on providing free loving meals. The person in charge of the restaurant, Wang Chengfu, told reporters that he wanted to provide sanitation workers with a warmth at home, but also wanted to establish a platform where sanitation workers and citizens sat together to get a closer understanding.
[Same period] (Wang Chengfu, the person in charge of the sanitation worker's caring restaurant) (sanitation worker) is here when he arrives at home, so we treat them as caring and concerned like family members. Through the sanitation workers dining here, they (people) have an interaction with the citizens. Through the communication, the citizens feel that the work of the sanitation workers is also more difficult and tiring, and at the same time inspires them to pay attention to the sanitation work and environmental protection. Sanitation workers also (pass) everyone's understanding and support of them, and they will be more active in their work.
[Commentary] At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the back kitchen of Ai Xin Restaurant will be busy preparing dinner, washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, preparing ingredients, cooking on high heat, and cooking on low heat, all dishes are prepared freshly, more than an hour later The ten dishes were successively placed in the designated dining area. Due to the diversion of meals in the store during the epidemic, sanitation workers lined up in front of the store from 7:30 pm. After measuring the temperature, disinfecting, and registering health information, after receiving the meal tray, the sanitation workers go to take their own meals, and then sit down quietly to eat. Some sanitation workers said that they do n’t have to run back and forth for meals when they have loving meals. After eating here for two years, they were very moved. They wanted to help the store to do something in return, but they were all rejected by the staff.
[Same period] (Environmental sanitation worker Zhang Cuirong) I felt a little embarrassed when I first came to eat. After eating for a long time, I felt the same as at home. Because I didn't usually do anything to help, I just collected the tables and benches after eating, and I felt (comfortable) in helping to do it.
[Commentary] The reporter learned from the scene that before the outbreak, the love restaurant only served sanitation workers and did not accept ordinary customers. However, affected by the outbreak, the breakfast was cancelled after the resumption of work and only dinner was served. The reporter saw that both Wang Chengfu and his employees went to take meals after the sanitation workers had eaten. He said that it was for the "disc action" to give the sanitation workers greater respect psychologically. Although the restaurant has been losing money since the epidemic resumed, as long as it is open for business, it will continue to provide assistance to sanitation workers. When the epidemic is over, it is necessary to resume the provision of breakfast.
[Same period] (Wang Chengfu, the person in charge of the sanitation worker's caring restaurant) We temporarily canceled breakfast during the epidemic, because the number of re-workers is relatively small, and the number of re-workers only reaches about 50%. In addition, there are more people in the morning, and the health status is not good control. They come here sporadically for dinner, and the number will not be large. Although there are certain difficulties in temporary income and operation, the establishment of a store (providing free sanitation workers with meals) will continue to be done.
