　　"Feliz año nuevo! (Happy New Year)" On the evening of New Year's Eve, after having a New Year's Eve dinner with colleagues and watching a video with relatives at home, Li Shuanglin, a "post-90s" security guard from Suzhou, Anhui, sent the message to relatives and friends in Spanish on WeChat Friends send new year wishes.

Then he plugged in his headphones, opened the book, and continued to wander in his own learning world.

　　The Spring Festival of 2022 is the first Spring Festival that Li Shuanglin spent in Shanghai, and it is also the first time he spends the Spring Festival alone without his family.

Homesickness is inevitable, but he feels that this is a rare and fulfilling Spring Festival.

　　Li Shuanglin became the focus of the company's annual meeting by reciting the Spanish poem "Me gustas cuando callas" (I like you are silent).

"After I finished reading, everyone applauded. Maybe I seldom heard Spanish before. My colleagues said it was very good, and a few said they wanted to learn from me." light.

　　With such a display platform, Li Shuanglin was also motivated.

"During the Spring Festival, I made a plan for myself, and I have to study this book by myself." Li Shuanglin showed the reporter the Spanish book he had already read in his hand, "In the past New Years, I used to visit relatives, eat and drink. I gained three kilograms during the Chinese New Year, and if I can’t go back to the New Year this year, I don’t think I will gain any weight, but I have the goods in my head, and I feel more rewarding.”

　　Li Shuanglin's encounter with Spanish began in an interesting place - Xinhua Bookstore.

Interesting snap of tongue, beautiful pronunciation... When Li Shuanglin heard this language for the first time, "I fell in love with it at once. It's so good." Li Shuanglin also went to ask the salesperson what was being broadcast on the radio.

Since then, Li Shuanglin has been addicted to Spanish out of control.

　　Standing guard and patrolling are two important parts of Li Shuanglin's daily work at present, which means that the time he can study every day can only be spent in the evening after shift work.

In the security industry known as "24 hours a day", Li Shuanglin still insists on reading or listening to spoken language for an hour or two every day. He has only one day off a week, and he basically spends it on studying.

　　Although he has not yet participated in the professional Spanish level test, Li Shuanglin believes that his Spanish level should be at the second level. "I have tested it online, and it should be at the intermediate level. I can conduct daily conversations and master the terms of life communication."

　　From unsuccessfully trying to do business to switching to security, Li Shuanglin did not fail, but re-planned his life.

"Before doing business, people were more impetuous, but now I can calm down and start studying, and think about what path to take in the future." Li Shuanglin sighed.

　　In addition to Spanish, Li Shuanglin also participated in the National English Proficiency Test (PETS) not long ago.

Talking about his New Year's resolution, he said: "I hope my Spanish and English can go hand in hand, and I can make myself better through my own study."

　　As one of the "guardians" of the city, there are many talented and hard-working young people like Li Shuanglin in the security industry.

However, due to social prejudice against this profession, the security industry is experiencing a "labor shortage" year by year.

　　Among the 100 occupations with the "most lack of jobs" released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China in the third quarter of 2021, occupations such as marketing staff, security guards, and waiters have always been among the top.

According to Fang Fulai, president of Shanghai Yingdun Security Service Co., Ltd., lack of work has existed in the security industry for a long time. In the past two years, due to the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the demand for security has increased, and the lack of work has become more serious than before. .

　　How to retain and attract young people to enter the security industry has become an urgent problem to be solved. In addition to improving salaries, Fang Fulai believes that management should also be younger. It is necessary to discover hidden talents in time, and teach them according to their aptitude to provide them with room for growth career planning.
