Their Spring Festival story.

On the occasion of the launch of the "high-speed rail milk tea co-branded product" of the girl in the south, the girl in the south interviewed these "girls in the south", who are the dormitory management "mothers" who take care of college students all the way, and the flight attendants who escort passengers home all the way ...... the Spring FestivalAt this moment, some of them are about to embark on the way home for the Spring Festival, and some continue to stick to their posts, listening to the stories and dreams of these "southern girls".

She is the last person to leave school every Spring Festival.

On the high-speed train, she warmed the girl's way home

Aunt Yu, who is in her 50s, is a college dormitory manager at a university in Guangzhou, and every year, as long as there are students in the dormitory, she will not leave earlier than the students. Because of this, she is always the last person to leave the dormitory before the Spring Festival every year. After more than 10 years of dormitory management, Aunt Yu got along very well with her students, and student Xiao Liu recalled: "One day I got up early to go to the exam, and when I went downstairs, I saw that Aunt Yu had already started her day's work. I said hello to Aunt Yu and said that I was going to take the exam, but when I went back to the dormitory that night, she asked me how I felt about the exam today, and she could really keep all the things about the students in mind. ”

For Aunt Yu, taking the high-speed rail is stepping on the way home.

One year, on the Spring Festival high-speed train, there was a little girl who looked like a college student sitting next to me, and she seemed to be in a very bad mood at the time, so I took out two oranges that I had brought with me and put them on the small table in front of her, she looked up at me and cried. Scared of me, I hurriedly took a tissue out of my bag and gave it to her, and she kept saying thank you to me. Aunt Yu said that it turned out that the girl's grandmother was seriously ill and issued a critical illness notice that morning. The girl had been busy with the internship before and couldn't ask for leave, but after receiving the news, she immediately asked for leave and went back, wanting to see her grandmother for the last time. Aunt Yu's casual actions brought warmth and happiness to others, and made the girl think of her grandmother. The high-speed rail of the Spring Festival is the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. As long as she can hear a "Mom" that she hasn't heard for a long time at the moment she leaves Chaoshan Station, Aunt Yu knows that this year is worth it for her. Aunt Yu believes that high-speed rail means "reunion".

The flight attendants who have been running for seven years for the Spring Festival are unforgettable.

Han Xiao joined Guangzhou Railway Catering Company in December 2016 and is now a purser. After seven years of Spring Festival transportation, what impressed Han Xiao the most was the moment when passengers boarded the night high-speed train added by Guangzhou Railway. "I could see in their eyes the eagerness to go home for the Chinese New Year and to be reunited with their families. The pure joy on the passenger's face not only infected Han Xiao, but also the other crew members on the train.

The brand name and cup design of "That Girl" high-speed rail milk tea are all derived from the flight attendant, and it has received a lot of praise since it was launched in 2021. "Kumquat lemon tea is refreshing and delicious, and it is the first choice for most travelers in the hot summer; In winter, more travelers opt for warm Hong Kong-style red bean milk tea or cheese milk lid oolong tea, which are rich in aroma and warm for the journey. Han Xiao said that during this year's Spring Festival, Guangzhou Railway and Nandu launched a joint "Southern Girl" high-speed rail milk tea.

Inadvertently warmed the old man

Behind the continuous hot Spring Festival passenger flow, there are such a group of people who not only protect the stomachs of passengers, but also warm everyone's hearts. They are of different ages and come from different places, but they have the same excellent qualities, and they deal with emergencies calmly; In the face of passengers who ask for help, we will do our best to help; Facing the difficulties of work, overcome the ...... one by oneThey are the high-speed rail catering crew of the Guangzhou Railway EMU Catering Company.

Sun Liyuan of Guangzhou South Base, Liang Xiuguang of Shenzhen North Base, Zhang ** of Changsha South Base, Zhang Futing of Shenzhen North Base, and Xie Qunhua of Guangzhou East Base ......You may not know their names, but you've met them on the high-speed train. Sun Liyuan, who has witnessed the stories of many passengers returning home, is that she is most impressed by the fact that on the D1763 train, an elderly man over seventy years old looks lonely and helpless. Sun Liyuan immediately stopped what she was doing, took the initiative to ask, patiently listened to the old man's description of his itinerary, carefully explained to him the stop of getting off the train, and reminded the old man before arriving at the station to help him take his luggage and send him off the bus. Before the old man got out of the car, he held her hand tightly and said, "Thank you, young man, for your help to make me feel warm and reassured. ”

Sun Liyuan's husband, Guo Guibin, is a mechanic in the Guangzhou bullet train depot, and due to the special nature of his work, the two of them rarely have time to rest together in a month. Once Guo Guibin wanted to go to Guiyang East to pick up a train in advance, just D1763 would pass through Guiyang East and stop at the same platform, so he set off in advance, carrying 857 kilometers of thoughts, and arrived at the D1763 stop platform to send a love lunch to Sun Liyuan, such a short meeting of a few minutes is also a luxury meeting for the two couples.

Why is a cup of high-speed rail milk tea called "that girl"? The inspiration for "High-speed Rail Milk Tea" originated from the program "Watching China by High-speed Rail" on ** TV on October 1, 2020, which broadcast a picture of a reporter tasting Hong Kong-style milk tea on the high-speed rail. After the program was broadcast, the customer service of the "Journey on the Tip of the Tongue" of Guangzhou Railway Catering Company received many inquiries from passengers about how to buy milk tea on the high-speed rail.

"I drank too much milk tea, and I often couldn't eat food. Liu Xiaoyan said with a smile. "The high-speed rail environment is more complicated, knives and other sharp tools are not allowed, and fresh fruits cannot be processed on the train, so we choose freeze-dried fruits without preservatives to make fruit tea. There was no ice machine on the bus, so we loaded the ice cubes into the car. After repeated investigations and optimizations, Liu Xiaoyan determined the production process standards and held training courses.

In order to show the youthful and energetic and positive image of the railway catering crew in the new era, and reflect "I speak for myself", Guangzhou Railway Catering Company registered the high-speed rail milk tea brand as "that girl".
