The little "translator" Niu Niu's family was invited to the New Year's Dinner for a thousand people, and for them, it was a rare Chinese New Year's Eve experience.

He said, "I just did a small thing within my ability, and I believe that any citizen will lend a helping hand when he encounters such a thing." ”

In November 2023, a house in the urban waterfront community of Wenjiang District was filled with thick smoke, and a paralyzed elderly man lived next door. In the midst of the crisis, a courier brother named Wen Jun resolutely picked up a fire extinguisher, rushed into the fire to extinguish the fire, and carried the paralyzed old man downstairs.
Today is the first time that the Wenjun Army has participated in the New Year's Dinner of the 1,000-person Regiment. In the past, he had only participated in wedding banquets and birthday banquets, but this was the first time he had celebrated the New Year with so many people in Chengdu. He picked up the red scarves, warm babies, and red panda dolls prepared for them on the seat and said, "The atmosphere is so good, I can see that Chengdu is very attentive to us." ”
