  At a time when the number of diagnosed and fatal cases is growing rapidly and the epidemic is getting worse day by day, batches of Chinese “retroverts” are investing in Indonesia to build the production and construction of the “Belt and Road” project to ensure production and livelihood for Indonesia. Contribute your energy. Wei Wengang of China Power Construction Indonesia Bengkulu Power Station is one of them.

  "One journey abroad, the two countries are not far away; three exchange ports, four airports turnaround; five flights take off and land, six sleepless nights; seven days of continuous toss, and finally back to the power station", recently returned to Indonesia from Beijing On the night of his arrival, Wei Wengang at the campsite of the Guru Power Plant wrote down the emotion of the real version of "Human Being on the Journey".

  In a telephone interview with a reporter from ChinaNews.com, Wei Wengang said that he returned to China for a vacation at the beginning of the year, and stayed in China for more than 5 months because of the epidemic. Returning to work and working on project construction was his urgent wish in China.

  In desperation, both Indonesia and China have interrupted direct flights since February 5, and in addition to changes in Indonesia's entry policy under the epidemic situation, this has been waiting for more than 5 months.

  The Indonesian ticket agent communicated with the departure port airport and the transit country and customs of the immigration country incorrectly, which caused the flight departure port to change many times. Eventually, after staying in Guangzhou for 4 days, he left Xiamen for departure, transited to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and finally arrived in Indonesia. Jakarta.

  "It took three days to change the exit port, transfer at four airports, and five flights, and finally returned to the long-standing Bengkulu coal-fired power station." Wei Wengang said that at that moment, "there was no fear of the epidemic in my heart, but very solid." After carrying out the necessary isolation as required, he could not wait to return to his post.

  "I have worked and lived here for three years, and have witnessed the achievements from a tidal flat to a standing power station, from sparsely populated to traffic, from no one to everyone, to the praises of all parties." Wei Wengang said that although he was just an ordinary member of the project, he was a participant and witness of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” between the two countries.

  His Bengkulu coal-fired power generation project in Indonesia is the first thermal power investment project of China Power Construction in Indonesia and the largest investment construction project in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The construction started on February 21, 2017. After the unremitting efforts of thousands of Chinese power builders, both units have been connected to the grid for power generation and are about to enter 25 years of commercial operation.

  Since the outbreak of the Indonesian epidemic in early March, because of the perseverance and retrograde of the "China Electric Power Builder", there have been frequent reports of success in the construction of the power plant. As of the 5th of this month, this year's power generation amounted to 126 million kWh and the on-grid electricity amounted to 110 million kWh, which played an important role in local epidemic prevention and control, economic development and people's livelihood security.
