1959, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Hua Deng was built simultaneously with the top ten buildings in the capital, like a little bit of starlight, illuminating Chang'an Avenue for more than 60 years.

South Korea Qiang of the Beijing Electric Power City Lighting Management Center of State Grid is the deputy monitor of the fifth-generation Chinese lantern class. As a new generation of Hua Deng people, he follows in the footsteps of his predecessors and is on duty under Hua Deng. The

lamp has been on for more than 60 years, and the lamp holder has also guarded it for more than 60 years. The wind, frost, snow and rain have been like a day for sixty years, and they watched the bustling noise of Beijing with the lamp.

ensure 100% of the Huadeng lights up

The fifth-generation Huadeng class where South Korea is strong is full of talents. 14 team members have their own strengths. "Our class has the first place in the Beijing Power Distribution Line Competition and the Beijing Electric Power Company. The person in charge of the gold medal work, as well as highly educated talents." Korea Qiang said proudly. The

Huadeng class is mainly responsible for the maintenance and repair of 14,521 street lights in the "Zhong"-shaped area with Tiananmen Square as the core from Dongdan to Xidan, Jingshanqian Street to Liangguang Road Street and North-South Central Axis Road. How can 14 people maintain such a large area and so many lights?

"With the assistance of the automatic monitoring system, 14 of us patrolled through two shifts to ensure that every street lamp and every base light pole was in place." said Han Qiang.

Over the years, with the improvement of my country's technological level, inspection methods have been continuously upgraded. They established a single-lamp single measurement system of Huadeng through wireless communication, which can monitor the data of each light source of each Huadeng in real time. "Once the system detects a problem with a light source, it will feed back the data to the background as soon as possible."

Korea Qiang is now calm and reliable, and it also came from the green back then. When he first started working, the master of Korea Qiang once took him out to fix lights at night. Korea Qiang happened to see a light that had just gone out. "Because he was just here and was eager to show it, he went up and grabbed the light. As a result, the glove was ignited." He quickly extinguished the fire in his hand, reluctantly. Continue to repair the lights, “I learned later that the light that was just extinguished had a high temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius.”

During the day, they shuttled among the ten thousand lamp posts, sweat soaking their backs; at night, they stood steadily on a ten-meter high platform with stars. Hanging overhead. No matter day or night, no matter the wind or rain, their inspections will never set. The sun is like this and they will work tirelessly. "Our only goal is to ensure that the lanterns are 100% lit." The bright lights of

are a gift for the National Day.

"The lanterns have been overhauled and cleaned. We are dedicated to the National Day!" National Day is a holiday that Chinese people at home and abroad look forward to. On this day, the Lantern Bearer has been preparing since May. During this period of

, ​​they need to clean and overhaul every bright light. The Huadeng Class has the only Huadeng car in the world, which can accommodate 17 people working at the same time. Hua Deng cleaning and maintenance is divided into 6 major steps, 37 small links, each member has a different division of labor. This also means that they must cooperate tacitly. "If we do not follow the operating specifications, there may be accidents that seriously affect the progress of cleaning and maintenance, such as ball dropping and chipping."

10 am to 4 pm is the hottest time of the day, and it is also the main work of lamp holders. Time period. When working, they can even see the heat rising from the ground. Sometimes the sun shines on the iron and rubber of the Huadeng car, and the temperature can reach more than 70 degrees Celsius. "The class consumes more than 20 bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water every day." When

was cleaning the lanterns, they encountered most of the debris and mosquito corpses caught by birds.

Branches and weeds can be cleaned up. The trouble is that sometimes birds will pick up the wire. If it is not handled in time, it will cause safety hazards, short-circuit the equipment, and even turn off the lights.

cleaning mosquito corpses is also a bright lightImportant work for cleaning and maintenance. Mosquitoes have phototaxis. At night, when the lights are on, the mosquitoes will turn around the light bulb. Over time, a thick layer of mosquito corpses formed in the lamp bowl. After a rain, these corpses will rot in a humid environment. Rotting insect corpses will corrode the wiring and cause equipment failure. "When you use your hands to pick out the corpses of insects, the gloves are all smelly." Han Qiang said, "In order to keep the lamp on, no matter how bitter and smelly, you have to clean it up."

"Hua Deng is located in Tiananmen Square. Tourists come to visit and tour, which represents the image of the country to a certain extent. We must wipe the lanterns clean.” South Korea Qiang said, “Whenever I see the bright lanterns on National Day, I feel that this year’s efforts are worth the effort. "

Korea is cleaning the Huadeng

Huadeng spirit from generation to generation. The

lights are of great significance to the Chinese. Under ordinary lights, there is a thriving celebration and family reunion, while under the bright lights, it is joy and harmony, and it is the country and the people. With the growth of the country,

Hua Deng has become an indelible part of the country's memory. When

Huadeng was first built, technology was not yet developed. Back then, everyone who wanted to see Hua Deng had to go to Beijing or buy a magazine or newspaper. Now, as long as people turn on their mobile phones, they can see the lights.

In the past sixty years, Premier Zhou Enlai’s selection of lotus and cotton peach lamps has remained the same, but the bulbs have been iterated continuously, from imported bulbs to domestic bulbs, from incandescent bulbs to high-pressure mercury lamps, and then to high-pressure sodium lamps. Increased, energy consumption is constantly decreasing.

, ​​as the fifth-generation lamp holder of Hua Deng, Korea Qiang has gradually grown from a hairy boy to a "master" who can be trusted and relied on. Thinking back to the work in the wind and rain over the years and the busy day and night, he understood the spirit of the lantern in his heart—responsibility, responsibility, and dedication. The spirit of

Huadeng has been deposited in time and passed on from generation to generation. "All members of our Huadeng class keep their mobile phones open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year." No matter what happens, no matter what kind of weather they encounter, they will appear in time and deal with it in time to ensure the operation of the lights and ensure the safety of pedestrians.

"My predecessors have persisted for more than sixty years, and I will continue to pass on this spirit. I hope that through our efforts, people will travel at night safer and warmer," said Korea Qiang, "With us, Beijing City will always be bright and bright." □
