Chinanews.com, Ningbo, January 27th (Reporter Lin Bo) The Spring Festival is a day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and to reunite with the whole family.
When thousands of families enjoy reunion, many people from all walks of life still stick to their jobs.

It is reported that the Xiaoxiba Pumping Station Project is an important component of the Jiangbei Zhenhai Plain flood control and drainage engineering system, and is one of the key water conservancy projects in Ningbo.
In response to the call for "Celebrating the New Year on the spot", before the Spring Festival, many workers of the Xiaoxiba Pumping Station Project canceled their plans to return to their hometowns for the New Year. Eight workers from Sichuan and other places stayed on the front line of the construction site.
In order to ensure that the construction of the project is progressing in a timely manner, during the Spring Festival, the "Spring Festival Adhere to the Team" of the Xiaoxiba Pumping Station Project convenes daily meetings with the leaders of the construction team, dispatches the construction work, coordinates and solves construction problems, and effectively promotes the progress of the project.
Coincidentally, in the management room of Zhangjiapu gate station in Jiangbei District, Zhu Guofu, the gate station administrator, is painting, maintaining and cleaning the pump equipment.

59-year-old Zhu Guofu is a native of Ningbo. This year is his sixth Spring Festival in his job. "Other colleagues' hometowns are out of town. It is rare to go home for a reunion during the Spring Festival. As a local, it is reasonable for me to stay on duty. "
The first thing Zhu Guofu does on duty is to inspect and inspect inside and outside the gate station to ensure the normal operation of water conservancy facilities and equipment.
At the same time, at the Yaojiang embankment in Ningbo, Zhang Zhaofa, a 60-year-old embankment maintenance worker, is carefully cleaning up the domestic garbage on the embankment.
During the Spring Festival, the amount of household garbage on the footpath of the Yaojiang embankment increased.
In order to ensure the cleanliness and tidiness of the area under his jurisdiction, Zhang Zhaofa insisted on cleaning up the household garbage and the leaves on the walking paths in the area every morning to ensure that the household garbage was produced and cleared every day.
"Although I can't go back to my hometown to reunite with my family, I can communicate with my family through mobile phone video, so I can feel at ease and let my family feel at ease." Zhang Zhaofa hopes that in the new year, everyone will be healthy and all wishes will come true.
On the blue sea, there is also a group of people sticking to their posts.
"The Chinese New Year of the Year of the Rabbit is both familiar and unfamiliar to me. It is unfamiliar because it is the first Chinese New Year I have spent on a ship. I am familiar because I was a soldier before I became a seaman. " Said Liu Zhigang, a crew member of the "Beilun 19" ship, in an interview.

The reporter learned from the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration that in October 2022, the first "Spray Plan" training course for veterans and seamen in Zhejiang Province was successfully held in Ningbo, and Liu Zhigang was a member of the training course.
After more than two months of training, Liu Zhigang successfully passed the theoretical examination and practical assessment, and is currently on board the "Beilun 19" ship.
After the three-month probationary period, he will become a qualified seaman of the watch and participate in the daily work on the ship.
When asked why he chose to stay on the ship for the New Year, Liu Zhigang said with a smile: "The ship is very similar to the army. When everyone is celebrating the Spring Festival, the shipping trade cannot stop. The sailors, like the soldiers, stick to their posts. Many people can celebrate the New Year happily.”
During the Spring Festival, in addition to the intense work rhythm, the ship is also filled with the joy of the New Year. The beautiful window grilles, auspicious Chinese knots, and sumptuous meals allow the crew members to feel the warmth of home at sea.
Standing on the bridge and sticking to their posts, the crew saw not only the vast expanse of blue waves, but also the happy life of thousands of families.
