CCTV News (News Network): Recently, the national Spring Festival travel rush was officially launched in 2025. During the entire Spring Festival travel rush, the only railway to Mohe, the Nenlin Railway, will be busier. Among them, the Monk Mountain section is located in the hinterland of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, with the lowest temperature being more than minus 50 degrees Celsius, making it the most dangerous driving section on the entire line. On January 17, we followed the reporter of "New Year's Grassroots" to meet a group of young men born in the 2000s who stayed in the mountains to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the Nenlin Railway.

It was past 7 o'clock in the morning and the temperature was above minus 30 degrees Celsius. The reporter followed the young men from the maintenance team to the work site. Zhai Minglang, 24, is an "old squad leader" who has worked for three years. He is the oldest and has the richest experience in the work team. He has been walking in front of him. With nearly 200 kilograms of equipment, it was very difficult for everyone to walk.

The Nenlin Railway connects the northernmost city of our country, Mohe. Freight trains, tourist trains, and rural revitalization trains opened last year operate alternately, and the maintenance pressure is very high.

There is no platform in the Monk Mountain section, and the trains are whizzing by in a hurry.

After the train, Zhai Minglang tapped the rails with a hammer while listening with his ears. The interface between the tracks is greatly impacted by the wheels, and small cracks will appear inside, affecting driving safety. To facilitate operation, Li Boru took off his gloves casually.

The experienced Zhai Minglang hurriedly came up and vented repeatedly, and slowly peeled off Li Boru's fingers and tracks.

The cold wind mixed with snow foam hits the face from time to time, like a knife cutting. After completing the maintenance, everyone returned to the work area in the evening. The parents in the distance were concerned about the children in the snow and ice. They thought it was time to get off work, so Zhai Minglang's mother called immediately.

Zhang Chao from Inner Mongolia only joined the company last year. His mother was worried that his son would be frozen, so she sewed him a pair of old cotton pants and used a full 3 kilograms of cotton to catch half a quilt.

The Spring Festival is approaching day by day, and more and more people are taking the train to Mohe for New Year's Eve and going home to reunite. When trains pass through the snowy Monk Mountain, few people will think of such a group of young men born in the 2000s who are sticking to their posts in the severe cold outside the window.

In the week of interviews, the reporter's biggest feeling was: cold and vitality. In the severe cold of more than minus 30 degrees Celsius, there are young faces and vigorous youthful power. They chose their first workplace in their lives in the depths of mountains and in the vast forests, measured the rails with their feet, and protected the safety of all families with their youth.
