At that time, Zang Shenglin was unable to go home due to the snow-clearing mission at the station, and felt guilty towards his father. "I have been working on the railway for so many years. This is the tenth consecutive year that I haven't been home for the New Year. I have long been used to sticking to my post when the organization needs it, but I still have to spend more time with my family when I have the opportunity." Zang Shenglin said simply.

"I remember when I first came, the navigation could not show the specific location of the station. I wandered around for a long time. Later, I added the positioning myself on Gaode Map ," Wei Peng recalled.
