In The Cold Wind, A Straw Rope Is Attached To The Shoes To Add Water To The Train.

When you set foot on the way home, sitting in the warm train compartment and leaving the ShangHai Railway Station, did you ever think that two of the water crew had filled the train with the cold on the side of the rail. The water you washed and toilets all along were the result of their labor.

Last night, reporters at the ShangHai Railway Station, followed Gu Yindi as a water sheer.

Gu Yindi, a 43 year old native born in Shanghai, was a very cold and hot summer in the ShangHai Railway Station. "The big girl who was full of strength at that time was not able to go out now. She went out for water at night and trembled at two feet."

Another 8 years to retire, and the eight year war.

Yesterday, Gu Yindi was on the day shift, from 7 a.m. to 7 p. m. today, she switched to night shift, from 7 pm to 7 a.m., and two days after Ming, so that the working rhythm was called "senior class".

It was nearly 7 o'clock last night.

The reporter followed Gu Yindi to water the last train, but I couldn't actually help him. He was almost a "spectator." she had her own partner, sullivin.

From the two floor building at the west end of ShangHai Railway Station, I was afraid of the cold wind. I tightened my overcoat, but Gu Yindi took off his cotton jacket and replaced it with a light yellow workwear. "Don't look at the water, just insert the skin pipe into the water inlet of the train. In fact, this is both a technical activity and a hard work. It is necessary to exert enough strength on both hands and feet, and there is no way to work in the cotton padded jacket."

Gu Yindi tied the straw rope on his running shoes. "The temperature dropped down, for fear of icing on the road, the grass rope was skid proof, but it was more difficult to walk."

In our work, leather shoes are worn out, not running shoes or overshoes. A pair of running shoes wear out in less than a month. They run every day, and they are dirty and wet beside the tracks.

There are two trains lying side by side on the rails, people walking between the carriages, and the "draught" in the crevice is scraping like a knife, and the people are shivering with cold.

But Gu Yindi could not manage this. She and saliping started from the first carriage. They went all the way to insert the skin pipe into the water inlet of the train. After waiting for the water to be full, fold it back and pull out the skin tube.

The trains are long and short, usually in 16 carriages. Between the first and the rear, it is almost 1 kilometers. Gu Yindi, at least one class, has to run 25 times back and forth. The last day is 25 kilometers.

According to regulations, no running is allowed in Sheung Shui, for fear of safety accidents.

"Starting trains from ShangHai Railway Station, all carriages are filled with water, which takes half an hour to 3 minutes. The passing cars are much more intense, at least 8 minutes, and the longest is not more than 19 minutes. We can add as much as we can."

Listen to Gu Yindi introduction, for the passing car, can not wait for it to enter the station and then go out to the water, so that the root is not enough, we must calculate the time to stand at the railway side waiting for it, this kind of thing, especially in the cold night, cold people's upper and lower teeth "fight" is a common occurrence.

This time, it took more than half an hour to fill up a row of visitors. Gu Yindi was a little bit puffy and had sweat on his hair. "Hurry up and go back to the work building to change clothes. We are all equipped with several cotton jersey and cotton trousers. The trip just came down, spilled water and sweat. The body is wet, and no change is necessary."

Waiting for her to be busy, sit down and talk again.

She said: "to be a water crew, it is dangerous to live on the side of the train. At night, Mexico, the train comes into the station to see the headlights, and then it is really hard. The highest temperature on the rails is nearly 60 degrees in summer, and the cold pipes and water injecting pipes are frozen in winter."

"Do you have a high salary?"

Gu Yindi laughs, "pay according to work, plus a compartment of water will earn 6 cents 5 cents, a few people to take a class, then even."

A total of 54 workers in the Sheung Shui work class, 24 people in two classes a day. During the Spring Festival, about 150 trains will be put into water every day.

"We work in this way, to speak vernacular, but also to support the family, there is no way, but you say we have no dedication, no sacrifice, I do not think it is possible!"

Gu Yindi speaks fast.

Seeing that the passengers were getting on the train and returning home to reunite with their families and celebrate the new year, Gu Yindi said, "the mind is often not calm". "We are most afraid of holidays, because there are no holidays and they are even more busy before and after the new year. For example, this new year's Eve, I just turn to night shift."

My daughter is now at university. She didn't have a mother to accompany her for the new year. She had a big idea. Now she is used to it.
