In the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, Jiang Bin, a member of staff from the Shinan Integrated Media Center, was assigned to a local train station -- in the Shinan district in Qingdao city in East China's Shandong province -- to help check the temperatures of passengers.
"I am a medical academic major and a veteran, which is why I should be here," said Jiang, a pioneer in the first batch of the new guards deployed at the station.
After May last year, as the risk of the epidemic reduced, passenger flows increased. Colleagues around him were constantly being transferred elsewhere, while Jiang Bin continued working at the station from the Spring Festival holidays to November.
Loads of medical staff in Shinan district have been guarding local residents in Qingdao since the pandemic outbreak, so let's give them our best regards!
