[Explanation] Affected by the strong cold air of Lake Baikal, the temperature in Changchun, Jilin hit a new low after winter.
On January 7, the Jilin Provincial Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning signal for severe cold. It is expected that in the next 24 hours, the lowest temperature in many parts of Jilin Province, including Changchun, will reach -32℃～-30℃, and in some places it will reach -32℃.
In such weather, it is the busiest time for electric workers.
Facing the severe cold, the State Grid Changchun Power Supply Company sent a large number of electric workers to inspect the lines to ensure normal power supply in the urban area.
On the same day, on a transmission line on the outskirts of Changchun, Li Wei, the monitor of the live working team at the Transmission Inspection Center of State Grid Changchun Power Supply Company, and his apprentice Tang Lei were busy repairing the fault.
Li Wei has been in the industry for 22 years, and his monthly inspection has been his constant work pattern for many years.
This time, the transmission line is missing a fitting pin, which is a very critical small part. If it is not handled in time, it may cause the wire to fall off, and even cause the tower to overturn, and there will be power outages in the city.
The cold wind in the suburbs made Li Wei's hair and eyebrows a layer of frost. But facing this kind of high-altitude electrified work, Li Wei couldn't care about the cold, so he must always be cautious.

Live working requires that the tools must be qualified, the insulation performance must be good, and the equipment itself is live working, and the equipment is always live, and the distance between us and the live body (also) maintain a sufficient safe distance.
Live work must go through special training and pass the examination before being certified.
[Commentary] Li Wei told reporters that the conditions for patrolling were difficult in the past, so I stayed at the village’s relatives’ house for one night before returning. Although the current patrol conditions have improved, this job is still “hard work” in everyone’s eyes. ".
The growth cycle of power workers takes a long time, even if they work for five or six years, they are still newcomers.
Tang Lei, 27 years old this year, is from Sichuan. He has been in this job for more than 8 years. From not adapting to the bitter cold in the Northeast at the beginning, to getting used to it now, his status as an electric power worker is not just a job for him, but also a job. A responsibility.

Now when there is a power outage, the heating is cut off, especially in winter, how cold it is at home if the heating is cut off.
[Explanation] The two of them quickly climbed to the top of the electric tower over 20 meters high.
The master and apprentice cooperated tacitly, and the fault was resolved in about five minutes.
The heat they exhaled wet the masks, and soon the masks were frozen into "pans." In such a difficult environment, it was difficult to hide their joy after completing the task.

Since joining the work, the master has taught us that our power transmission workers pay attention to this hard-working spirit.
A high-voltage line that we maintain is also for the normal (power supply) and safe power supply in Changchun.
People can use electricity normally, which is the greatest comfort to us.
