Recently, the central and eastern regions of China have suffered the longest and most extensive rain, snow and freezing weather since the beginning of winter. The daily precipitation and cumulative snowfall in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Liaoning, Hubei and other places have reached extreme levels, resulting in large-scale freezing rain in Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. Freezing rain makes 73 grams of shoots instantly gained 34 percent weight after being wrapped in ice2%, and even branches with thick bowl mouths can be easily broken. This extreme weather is not only a test of the natural environment, but also a serious challenge to the courage and patience of countless truck drivers who are still on the way.
These truck drivers are the link between the city and the countryside and are an indispensable part of the functioning of the economy. However, the sharp increase in traffic during the Spring Festival travel period, coupled with the impact of extreme weather, has made their situation particularly difficult. Some drivers only drove a few tens of kilometers in five hours, and some drivers were even unable to move forward because their tires were frozen with the road.
In such a harsh environment, truck drivers face challenges that go far beyond traffic jams and poor road conditions. They also have to deal with persistently low temperatures and a lack of essential necessities, such as food and water. At the same time, they must be on high alert at all times to prevent vehicle skidding and other potential hazards. They were forced to wait in the bitter cold, hoping that the weather would improve and the roads would clear so that they could continue their journey.
Despite all the difficulties, there are still many caring people who lend a helping hand. For example, residents of Xiantao, Hubei Province, organized themselves to deliver hot porridge, noodles, hot water and instant noodles to truck drivers stranded on bridges due to extreme weather. These heart-warming actions not only met the basic survival needs of the drivers, but also gave them great spiritual support and encouragement. These actions bring out the best in human nature – compassion and mutual aid.
In addition, if the truck drivers can come across the Red Rock Station during transportation, they can also go in to rest and resupply. Hongyan Station is well aware of the hardships and difficulties of truck drivers, so it takes the driver as the center to provide timely and thoughtful care and services, including free catering, accommodation, bathing, laundry, parking and basic maintenance services, and solves the difficulties on the way for truck drivers 24 hours a day.
In the cold winter, truck drivers are eager not only to reach their destinations, but also to be understood and cared for by all walks of life. They stuck to their posts in the cold wind and worked hard for the reunion of tens of millions of families. May every truck driver arrive at their destination safely and every family reunited. So, the truck drivers who are still on the road, how are you doing right now? Let's leave a message to share.
