As the Chinese New Year comes, most people return to their hometowns after a long absence to reunite with their families and experience the beauty of the Chinese New Year.

But at this time, there were still some people who stuck to their posts. Amid the peaceful bustle, the stark contrast made them feel lonely.

　　Jian Yue, the first-level police chief of the Commercial Office of the Tiexi Branch of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau, and Chang Jian, the safety director of a project of the North Company of the China Construction Second Bureau, two people who had no intersection at all, but met during the Spring Festival of 2023.

Both of them are staff members who are on duty during the festival.

　　Tiexi Sub-bureau of Shenyang Public Security Bureau is just across the road from a large shopping mall. During the Chinese New Year, shopping for New Year’s goods and going out with the whole family can be seen by looking up, but the nature of the public security work makes him have no time to sneak in I ran across the road to buy some New Year's goods, and even had no chance to buy toys for my young son.

The loss of not being able to reunite with his family and the guilt of not being able to share their worries had no effect on Jian Yue. After the phone conversation was over, he hurried out to meet another lonely person for the festival—Chang Jian.

　　As a native of Tangshan, Chang Jian stayed at the construction site for the first time during the Chinese New Year.

On the side of his project is a community. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the community is full of New Year's flavor, which makes his loneliness that cannot be reunited with his family more obvious.

In fact, there is not much work left behind on the construction site. Every day is repetitive inspections, fire prevention, theft prevention and loss prevention.

　　The meeting between the two did not have any pleasantries or heart-to-heart exchanges. After parting, each will complete their other tasks for the day.

Like many staff who insist on being on the job, they are unknown, but it is their persistence that guarantees that during the Chinese New Year holiday, all walks of life can still be stable and orderly. , everything is in order, and everything is back up and running quickly.
