"The version is checked correctly, the CIR self-test is normal, and the function test is completed."
"Dingling, Dingling"...
At 8:00 on January 16, Zhu Zhanglian, who was wearing yellow work clothes, connected the phone, wiped and disinfected tools, work clothes, office desks and chairs with alcohol, and wrote down the plan for the locomotives entering and leaving the warehouse in the maintenance system on the computer screen. Facing the cold wind in early winter, the maintenance pliers rushed to the battlefield of Spring Festival travel.
A new day has begun, and he will upgrade the data of the communication station for the 2023 Spring Festival travel route.
Zhu Zhanglian, who is about to retire, is a communication worker in the Guangzhou Wireless Maintenance Workshop of the Guangzhou Communication Section of the Guangzhou Railway Group.
He has fought in this position for 42 years, using the inspection pliers in his hand to maintain and repair the safety of communication stations.
The radio station is the communication equipment for the locomotive crew to communicate with the station on the line in the running section, and is the core equipment to ensure the safe operation of the train.
Zhu Zhanglian's work area is in charge of the maintenance work of 435 locomotive radio stations. These stations are large in number and of various types.
Periodic maintenance is a complex series of tasks.
The boring and ordinary jobs shoulder the great responsibility of ensuring the safety of locomotive transportation.
Spring Festival travel is the busiest and most tiring time for them every year.
The Spring Festival travel in 2023 is also the last Spring Festival travel that Zhu Zhanglian sticks to. He continues to pick up the inspection pliers that have accompanied him for 42 years to ensure the safety of the Spring Festival travel.
Before the Spring Festival travel season began, the workload continued to increase.
In a short period of time, they will complete the upgrade of 435 locomotive radio stations.
Zhu Zhanglian and his workers entered the Spring Festival travel work ahead of schedule, taking the initiative to take on more tasks, silently sticking to their posts, dismantling modules, sticking labels, and pressing buttons... The standardized operation process is quick and skillful.
They carry heavy tool bags and ride tricycles between the warehouse and the work area every day, completing more than a thousand repetitive actions every day.
They worked overtime for several days in a row without any complaints, ensuring that the upgrade of the radio station was "punctual, accurate, and leak-free", and provided communication technology support to ensure the safety and punctuality of the train.
Due to the intensive maintenance work, Zhu Zhanglian often received the inspection plan when he was eating, put down the tableware and tools and ran to the garage quickly. When he returned to the work area, the food was already cold.
During the Spring Festival travel season, most of the time he was busy with maintenance or on the way to do maintenance.
Sometimes I'm so busy that I can't drink a few sips of water a day.
Zhu Zhanglian called his partner in the work area to check the results of the equipment test warehouse inspection.

"On holidays, you must be on duty. The detailed equipment status can only be seen at the job site, and you must be prepared for emergencies. Sometimes young workers have little experience, and I am more familiar with them when encountering failures. It is more reassuring to take a closer look." Zhu Zhanglian He said while wiping the inspection pliers.
At 11:00 on the same day, workers called to inform: "There is an SS8 locomotive that has not been upgraded, and it is parked on the 7th road." Zhu Zhanglian checked the upgrade account in the management, brought all the working tools and the workers quickly rushed to the locomotive.
When he came to the warehouse, Zhu Zhanglian slightly bowed his waist and held the door handle to log into the locomotive. Due to his aging eyesight, he bent over and checked whether the lights of the CIR host modules were normal and whether the cable connectors were damaged. Clean the terminals, phone boxes and speakers, and tighten loose screws from time to time.
When preparing for the test, Zhu Zhanglian found that both ends of the radio could not enter the main control interface, which affected the normal operation of the equipment.
He squatted down and reset the host, replaced the 12-core control cable, replaced the 37-core short connection of the AB subrack and still could not enter the main control interface, and then determined that the main control unit was faulty.
In order to avoid delays in fault handling affecting delivery, he quickly replaced the CIR main control unit, and the fault phenomenon was eliminated immediately.
After squatting for half an hour, his legs and feet were already numb, but he still endured the numbness and pain in his knee joints and followed the steps to complete each step. After resetting the parameters and testing well, he took the walkie-talkie and "partnered" in the work area Confirm that the test results are normal before resting.
It was 13 o'clock after the work, and Zhu Zhanglian stood beside the stock road, facing the cold wind, watching the upgraded locomotive get out of the warehouse safely.
When preparing to return to the work area, a message came from the intercom that another locomotive was about to enter the warehouse.
He tightened his tool bag and walked quickly to the next car...
After many years of climbing motorcycles and carrying equipment, Zhu Zhanglian suffered from occupational diseases in his waist and legs.
Sometimes the overhaul takes a long time, and the waist and legs are aching, but he still does his best meticulously.
Over the past 42 years of work, he has repaired and maintained countless communication equipment.
