February 11th, Lunar New Year’s Eve. In the dining hall of Longtan River Crossing Project Department of China Railway Bridge Bureau Group, which is located at the boundary between Nanjing Section and Zhenyang Section of the Yangtze River, red lanterns are hung high, paper-cut window grilles and Chinese knots are full of joy, and the taste of the year is strong.
"Comrades, New Year’s Eve, have a New Year’s Eve dinner!" Standing at the entrance of the canteen, Du Zhongning, deputy secretary of the Party branch of the project, greeted the workers with a big smile and piled oranges and sweets on the table.
"I count, 46 workers who celebrate the New Year on the spot. Today, one can’t be less. I have two cups, and I am a lesbian. I have a gift package to send after dinner." The joy of Chinese New Year is permeated with Du Zhongning’s face.
In the kitchen, Chen Shuhao, a 24-year-old boy from anniversary, Heilongjiang Province, is holding his sleeves and cooking a famous northeast dish. "In my hometown, this dish must be eaten during the New Year. This time, so many workers celebrate the New Year on the spot, I must show my hand and let them all taste it. "
Among the 46 workers who celebrate the New Year on the spot, there are not only young builders born after 1995, but also old workers who have struggled for the construction of the motherland all their lives. Facing the severe and complicated epidemic prevention and control situation, celebrating the New Year on the spot has become their common choice.
Shi Zhong, a 50-year-old quality inspector, has worked in the front line for 30 years and has participated in many national key projects such as Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway. Recalling the number of reunions with his family during the Spring Festival, he said with a smile: "It is a luxury to follow the project and go home for the New Year. I feel very embarrassed in my heart, so I took my children to the construction site this year, which is a reunion with my family. "
In the evening, there are already thousands of lights outside the window, and the workers in the house are sitting around and laughing. In the first Spring Festival under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, they made different choices for the project to be completed as scheduled.
Peace is the greatest blessing.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is a taste that countless people in China yearn for, and it is also the biggest wish of everyone who works hard outside during the New Year. However, at an unusual time, relatives in different places, they ate a different kind of reunion dinner here.
"Happy Chinese New Year!" "Good luck in the Year of the Ox!" "All the best!" ….. On the eve of the Spring Festival, at the construction site of Shuitangjiang Project in Nanning, the left-behind employees of Guangxi Company of China Construction Fifth Bureau held Spring Festival couplets to pay New Year greetings to their relatives, workers and people all over the country.
In order to let the left-behind employees have a good New Year, the company has set up five tables of rich reunion dinner in Sashido, a project department of less than 70 square meters, which is full of flavor. "The most famous thing in my hometown is Hu Spicy Soup. The canteen of the project department specially prepared our own hometown specialties for us, so that we can enjoy the taste of our hometown and be as warm as at home during the New Year’s holiday at the construction site." He Jie, an employee who lives in the field, said happily.
Qian Jinlong is a new employee of the Shuitangjiang project in Nanning. His hometown is Yiyang, Hunan. In response to the local New Year initiative, he stayed in Nanning this Spring Festival. "I have a long way to go home, and I have to change to a variety of means of transportation, and the contact personnel are complicated. In the special period of epidemic prevention and control, reducing going out is to support anti-epidemic. " After Qian Jinlong told his parents about his decision, their parents expressed their understanding that their only concern was the dining problem during the Spring Festival. "After learning that the project department provides a reunion dinner for employees who spend the New Year on the spot, parents are relieved a lot." Qian Jinlong said that this year, he will pay a New Year call to his parents through video, and then go home after the spring blossoms.
Luo Zhiqiang, vice chairman of the trade union of Guangxi Company of China Construction Fifth Bureau, said that the company actively responded to the call of the country "Don’t go home unless necessary, spend the New Year on the spot", and implemented caring measures such as keeping people careful, considerate and warm-hearted, so that employees who stayed in other places for the New Year felt the warmth of home and the taste of the New Year was not discounted.
"Although we are in a foreign land, we hang lanterns together and spend the New Year together. This festive atmosphere warms our hearts." Worker Luo Cheng said.

For many people, New Year’s Eve means family reunion, laughter and happiness. But for Wu Tiecheng and many of his colleagues, the New Year’s Eve dinner had to be arranged on the train.
Wu Tiecheng, 43, is the conductor of the Z18 train. At 4: 30 pm on February 11th, the reporter came to Harbin Depot and saw Wutie City. He told reporters that he had spent six consecutive Spring Festival on the Z18 train.
While working, Wu Tiecheng took out his mobile phone and showed it to reporters. It turned out that there were five family photos in his mobile phone, which were taken by their team during the Spring Festival on the train for five consecutive years.
Originally, it was a hard-won Spring Festival break, but because of the epidemic, Harbin Company of China Railway Group adjusted the route map, and Wutie City set out with the team ready.
While speaking, the train slowly set off for Harbin West Station. At this time, the train began to officially supply power, and everyone quickly arranged the carriages. Zhang Songyu, a flight attendant, carefully posted the blessing. Li Ling Yunhe and Xia Xinyao picked up a string of red lanterns and hung them on the window. However, the happiest thing is a few male flight attendants, who excitedly surrounded the chef and inquired about the "hard dishes" of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In a blink of an eye, the train stopped at Harbin West Station. In order to comply with the epidemic prevention regulations, the reporter regretted that he could not go with the car, so he said goodbye to everyone here. Soon after returning home, I received a video call from Wu Tiecheng: "Look, Pony, this is our chef preparing a New Year’s Eve dinner. There are eight dishes in total, including fish, ribs, chicken and beef, and two vegetables. We will have a small get-together later."
Late at night, Wu Tiecheng called the reporter again by video phone to watch their get-together together together. In the video, everyone is happily sitting in the dining car, and flight attendant Song Lijun is singing and winning applause from colleagues. In front of the camera, after the New Year’s Eve, everyone gathered together, smiled at the camera and took the sixth family photo.

During the Spring Festival, the demand for coal for power supply and heating soared. In order to let more people reunite with their families warmly, many employees of Shandong Energy Group choose to celebrate the New Year on the spot and stick to their holiday posts. What’s the taste of their reunion dinner this year?
Li Zihao, from Huaibei, Anhui, had a reunion dinner at the home of Master Meng Linglong. Last year, Li Zihao joined the Tieyun Department of Yanzhou Coal Industry of Shandong Energy Group and studied under Meng Linglong. Master Meng told the reporter: "The company asked us to’ treat the disciples like children’ and go home to discuss with our wives. On New Year’s Eve, we simply took our children home for a reunion dinner." On the reunion dinner table, my wife specially prepared the best fried crispy vegetables. After the reunion dinner, the master and apprentice rushed to Dadongzhang Station of Yanzhou Coal Industry to watch the night shift and carry out the task of transporting coal to Huadian Zouxian Power Plant.
Chen Delin, a technician of Tangkou Coal Industry Development Zone 1 in Shannengzi Mine, is from Chongqing, and this year is his first New Year holiday in other places. What he didn’t expect was that at the New Year’s Eve dinner specially prepared by the company for the left-behind workers, he actually tasted the authentic hometown flavor: "Sweet and sour, crisp and delicious, this crispy pork slice is authentic!"
The miners’ reunion dinner has its own taste, but there is a common taste, that is, the taste of hometown.
