Li Qiang, 39, is the director of the Hohhot Public Transport Service Office and the head of the "Chasing the Sun" class, but in the past few days, he has rarely used his mobile phone to communicate with the outside world.
"Because mobile phones are also an important tool for spreading viruses." Si Wenjun told reporters that the members of "chasing the sun" are now assigned to the four districts of Hohhot City. Since they need to be on call all day, they are the ones who have a few precious photos on hand. Taken on a mission.

"We don't want to disturb their rest, for fear that they are driving and affecting their safety," Si Wenjun said, "because they are also the sons of their parents, the husbands of their wives, and the fathers of their children. They rushed to the nearest place to the virus. They are heroes. "(Finish)
