The strong flavor of the New Year permeated the laughter.
In the early morning of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in Karatu Town, not far outside the Engro Engro Reserve in Tanzania, the temperature of 256 degrees was comfortable and pleasant, not like the midwinter in China at this moment.

At the temporary construction site of the Aid Tanengro Engaro-Lungai Global Geopark project undertaken by China Railway 25th Bureau, the mechanical lifting materials took off and landed in an orderly manner, and the large and small vehicles came and went in a hurry.
Although the rainy season has passed, there are very heavy showers almost every day, and the continuous rain makes the barren land lush and green, but the construction site becomes muddy and the machinery is difficult to operate efficiently. "It's rare that there is no rain today, so let's step up and have a good Chinese New Year together in the evening," Wei Kaimin, the head of the project office and translator, said to the local workers with a little joy.
Communicate with NCAA representatives about project construction.
In order to allow everyone to live in the self-built board house of the project as soon as possible, the project team actively discussed solutions, adhered to the principle of "light rain does not stop, heavy rain builds sheds", purchased all machinery and tools, and used more labor to ensure that the construction does not stop. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the temporary construction site has successfully completed site leveling, house foundation treatment, wall masonry, water supply and drainage pipe laying and site hardening. "The rain also brought us good luck, and the main body of the temporary construction was like bamboo in spring, becoming more and more beautiful layer by layer. Wu Jinghui, the chief engineer of the project, smiled with satisfaction.
From Olduvai to Latoli, from Mayala to Lungay, the sites of the protected areas where the projects are located are large and small, and the sites of the expedition teams are all over the place. Since the project was awarded, they have successfully completed the geopark inspection task for more than one month. Subsequently, the project quickly connected with relevant departments of Tanzania, visited local Chinese-funded enterprises, investigated the local market, carefully sorted out the accounts, and compiled the commencement materials. All departments worked together to make phased progress in drawing design, construction land, etc., and successfully signed an implementation agreement to "accelerate" the official start of the project.
At one o'clock in the afternoon local time, at six o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, He Jixing, the director of the engineering department, was busy with the work on the site, and hurriedly beckoned the driver Michael to rush back to the project site, "Today is the Spring Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve in our country, a very solemn day, I have to rush back to fight with my family first, and then make dumplings and paste Spring Festival with everyone," He Jixing explained excitedly in less proficient English.
Welcome the New Year with joy.
In order to let the overseas workers who stick to the front line have the first joyful and festive Chinese New Year in Tanzania, the project began to ask domestic colleagues to purchase lanterns, couplets, and various New Year's goods, including dry goods and seasonings, one month before the Spring Festival. A few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the project department used its spare time to purchase live chickens, live sheep and other livestock, slaughtered, divided, and packaged, all by themselves. Project chef Zhang Zhiwu said with satisfaction.
When everyone returned to the temporary station after a busy morning's work, all kinds of Chinese New Year's Eve meal ingredients have been cut and stacked by Chef Zhang, and the big dishes such as braised prawns, spicy chicken, and sauerkraut fish have completed the preparation work before transformation, and they can jump into the hot pot at any time. Put the stuffing and rolling skin, lay the paper and grind the ink ......Everyone worked together and carried out the "essential activities" of the Spring Festival such as making dumplings and writing Spring Festival couplets in an orderly manner.
The landlord, Peter, participated in the writing of the Spring Festival couplets.
Work together to innovate the industry, and work together to develop a grand plan! He Jixing, who has some calligraphy skills, sonorously and forcefully read the couplets he wrote to everyone. Pete, the landlord of the temporary station, was infected by this strong festive atmosphere, and under his guidance, he wrote a big "blessing" with a slightly clumsy pen. He said happily: "I shared with my family the ** who wrote Spring Festival couplets in the project, and they all said that they really wanted to experience the traditional customs of China!" Others also took up their pens and inks, showing their New Year's wishes and visions on the couplet, discussing where to post and where to hang ......The flavor of the New Year is awakened little by little in a foreign country.
Welcome the New Year with joy.
Today is the first Spring Festival we have spent in Tanzania, and I hope that this year we can also take the first step to officially start construction, and continue to contribute to our country's first foreign-aided global geopark project! Project manager Zhong Anbing raised the wine glass in his hand after the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala and excitedly clinked glasses with everyone to bless ......(China Railway 25th Bureau).
