In Mohe, China's northernmost city in Heilongjiang Province, extremely cold climatic conditions are the norm for workers from all walks of life.
In winter, the demand for coal for heating and power supply increases. The shunters at Mohe Railway Station need to hang on the ladder at the front of the outdoor train for a long time to keep an eye on the state ahead and ensure the safety of the transportation of coal and other production and living materials. In the Jiagedaqi Public Works Section of Harbin Bureau of China Railway, affected by low temperature, the soil of the railway subgrade is prone to frost heave during the freezing process, resulting in uneven rail heights and increasing driving safety risks. The staff of Mohe workshop adopted the backing plate, tamping and other methods to eliminate freezing damage, so that the line was smooth and stable, and the safety of passengers was ensured.
At the Arctic Power Supply Station of Mohe Power Supply Company, China's northernmost power supply station located in Beibei Village, Beibei Town, Mohe City, the staff ensures the power supply safety of nearly 100 kilometers of overhead lines and buried cable lines in Beibei Village and its surroundings by inspecting lines and equipment at regular intervals.
Every winter, the employees of Mohe Forest Farm will form a forest tending team, carrying chain saws, brush cutters and other equipment, to the inaccessible deep mountain operation points to carry out forestry work, prune diseased and rotten wood, pressed wood, and improve the growth environment of forest trees.
In the cold winter months, these extremely cold workers rooted in the northernmost part stick to their labor posts, step on the snow and bear the cold, ensure the life and travel safety of local residents and tourists, and protect the ecological environment of the Daxing'an Mountains forest area.
