[Explanation] There is a little-known fifth-class station on the Shuang (Zhai) Huang (Central) line of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway-Zamalong Station.
It is understood that this station has been built for 60 years, and there are currently 6 freight trains passing by every day.
Most of the time, the station was immersed in silence, with only one attendant on duty at a time, and the 47-year-old Han Meihua was one of them.

The first point of my main job at this station is to continuously receive and dispatch trains to ensure the safe and smooth flow of trains. The second point is to notify relevant personnel to check and deal with equipment failures. The third point is emergency handling in severe weather. .
[Explanation] The reporter saw that in the cab of less than 20 square meters, Han Meihua had to operate the console, 4 computers, check 6 monitors, answer 3 calls, and communicate with the passing train drivers at any time. contact.
At the station, Han Meihua and another male colleague took turns on duty, implementing a three-day shift system. During the three days on duty, she was alone from day to night.

For 365 days, my counterpart and I must stick to it.
The most important thing is to receive and dispatch trains through this console to ensure the smooth flow of trains, and there are often trains at night at uncertain times.
[Explanation] It is understood that all the routing and receiving and dispatching of trains at Zamalong Station are done by the attendant alone, so Han Meihua must be fully focused every time he is on duty, except for receiving and dispatching trains. Every morning and evening, she must carefully check the number, hand brake, anti-sliding sleeper and iron shoe signs of the parked car.

It’s very windy at night. There are a lot of cemeteries near our station. I went out by myself at midnight. It was very scary outside. A woman was scared to go out. They just passed by humming songs all the way. No, this is within the scope of my duties.
[Commentary] Han Meihua told reporters that every day, apart from listening to the sound of the passing train, it is loneliness all year round.
Every time she goes to work, she has to pack enough rations for three days and she has to cook by herself.
The reporter saw that a lot of green plants were placed around the window sill of the carriageway, making the whole room full of life.

After work, I also grow some flowers. I have about seven or eight potted flowers. I think they are also very good, because growing flowers can usually cultivate sentiment, and another one can relieve my loneliness.
[Explanation] It is understood that in the 6 years working at Zamalong Station, Han Meihua did not spend a Spring Festival at home. When it comes to her elderly mother and her son and daughter, Han Meihua gently wiped her tears. She is not good at words and said that because her job rarely takes care of her family, she owes her family a lot, but since she is on the Qinghai-Tibet line, she must forget the loneliness in her heart and contribute her little effort to the safety and smooth flow of the railway artery.

My job is a miniature version of every employee of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company. It is precisely because of the contributions of these Qinghai-Tibet employees that the safe operation of this train can be guaranteed.
