Wang Hanyi is a power line worker in the Huaihua Electric Power (Water Supply) Maintenance Workshop of the Huaihua Power Supply Section of China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. On February 1, he was deployed to Guanba Station and was responsible for monitoring the status of the station generator and the current intake of the line's general railway pantograph to ensure the stability of the station's signal power supply and line power supply.
Guanba Station is located in a mountain depression in western Hunan. It is located in a remote area and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, which makes outdoor monitoring and living conditions difficult. As soon as he arrived at Guanba, Wang Hanyi immediately went to work, inspecting and starting up the station generator.
"Station staff must always ensure that the generator is in good condition and ensure signal power supply at the station." Wang Hanyi said that the ice and snow weather has brought certain challenges to the station generator and power supply lines. "If the power supply line is seriously covered with ice, it will cause the train to be powered by ice." Insufficient, affecting the traction power of passing trains."
During inspections, Wang Hanyi often works outdoors. Although he has been accustomed to seeing heavy snow since he was a child, the snow and ice in recent days has made him very difficult. "The snow in the south is different from the snow at home. It hurts like pebbles hitting my face."

On the platform, cold wind mixed with moist air blows in, which can easily cover the catenary equipment with a layer of frost, causing safety hazards. Whenever a train passed by, Wang Hanyi would stand on the platform from time to time and look ahead. The cold wind and snow particles brought by the passing train would blow in, often making him unable to open his eyes.
During this fight against the ice and snow, the Huaihua Electric Power (Water Supply) Maintenance Workshop sent a total of 10 "post-95s" and "post-00s" young workers like Wang Hanyi to station at the station. This was also the first time that they completed the station task independently for a long time, with immature faces. , but there is a tenacity in him. "When I was little, I always looked forward to snow during the Chinese New Year, but now I just hope that the freezing rain and snow will pass quickly. We want more people to go home safely!" Wang Hanyi said. (over)
