This is the 12th year that Miao Zhongxian has worked in Yiwu Firefighting, and the 12th time he has not returned home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This story collected in the #I'm pretty good in Zhejiang# activity, sounds surprising, but it may not be uncommon in the fire brigade. In Miao Zhongxian's words, "You celebrate the festival and we pass the test."

Starting from August 30, Miao Zhongxian was dispatched to the Yiwu Ocean Hotel to guide fire safety work, and was stationed 24 hours a day to ensure the fire safety of athletes, referees and other personnel from all over the province who participated in the 17th Zhejiang Sports Games.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, he will still stick to his post.

"Mom, I called 2,000 yuan on your card. Buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat on the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't save it like this."

"Wife, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm sorry, I missed another appointment this year."

"Baby, come, call me dad..."

A mobile phone, connected to three places, this is the way to reunite with Miao Zhongxian's family. Miao Zhongxian's hometown is in Yunnan. His parents helped him take care of his 11-month-old son and his wife teaches in Guizhou. He is a firefighter at the Ersanli Fire Rescue Station of the Yiwu Fire Rescue Detachment.

Miao Zhongxian’s “breaking appointment” came as promised, and his family had long been used to it. The parents only told the other end of the video: "I understand, we will take care of the child, and you can work there with peace of mind."

without counting, Miao Zhongxian knew that he had not been home for the Mid-Autumn Festival in 12 years. This number happens to be the year when he was a firefighter, which means that since he entered the fire rescue team, he has never returned home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year, Miao Zhongxian is already 30 years old. From the age of 18 to 30, the best youth was dedicated to the firefighting cause he loved.

There are naturally regrets, especially when he first came to Yiwu, he was a little uncomfortable at the age of 18. I miss homesickness during festivals, "Now I've been getting used to it after a long time. During the New Year and the Festival, there will be more things. For example, there are many factories in Yiwu. When there is a holiday, there will be no one in the factory, which is easy to have safety hazards, so we have to stand by at the post."

Miao Zhongxian has always felt that the firefighting profession is very sacred, and we must shoulder the social responsibilities we deserve.

"In fact, it is quite interesting to celebrate the festival with your teammates. When you have the extra energy to train on duty, you will carry out some interesting cultural and sports activities, and the food for the festival is also rich." This time, Miao Zhongxian was transferred to conduct "building-sweeping" fire inspections every day in three periods of morning, noon and evening to ensure that all fire-fighting facilities and equipment on the 18th floor of the hotel are complete and easy to use. The hotel's micro fire station will be pulled one day, guide personal protective equipment to wear step by step, correct the wrong gun holding posture, and explain the correct way to fight fires in the early stages. Sometimes, he would also "make small meals" for hotel safety management personnel to help them solve the "difficult and complicated problems" of fire protection in actual work.

When I was single, I devoted myself to my work wholeheartedly, and everything was fine, but now I am married. My son was born last year, and there was another responsibility of a husband and father on Miao Zhongxian's shoulders.

Since opening his eyes in the morning, Miao Zhongxian has been busy and can only take time to "meet online" with his family during rest time, which has become a rare moment of relaxation for him.

"The support and understanding of my family are the biggest motivation for my work. My wife said that I am a firefighter, she is a people's teacher, and they all have their own responsibilities and missions." Miao Zhongxian's family is very special. His wife teaches in a rural primary school in Bijie, Guizhou. This Mid-Autumn Festival, like him, we must stick to our post, formulate teaching plans for the next stage, collect the situation of left-behind children in the class, and produce work forms for helping home visits, so that more children in the mountainous areas can "go to school well" and "go to school well."

The family of three is separated from three places. Whenever the couple thinks of their elderly parents and their young children, they always feel that they owe too much.

"No matter how convenient the information is, no matter how timely the care is, it cannot compare to a real and powerful hug." What made Miao Zhongxian feel guilty was that his son had a high fever before and the old man in the family was anxious, but he was far away in Yiwu and could not help at all. "This kind of moment is quite helpless."

However, Miao Zhongxian said that as long as he is on duty for one day, he must stand on the last shift and protect the safety of this city with his heart.

Firefighters are such a group of people. Whether it is a new team member who has just joined the team or an old team member who has been joining the team for many years, they all guard the city under this full moon and send lovesickness.

After three years of marriage, Sun Xuejiang has only a few times to go home. This year he can only Through mobile phones, I would like to say Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to my wife and son.

●In Jiaxing, many firefighters can't go home to celebrate the festival. An aunt from Muhe Community, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City came to the Nanhu Fire Rescue Station to make authentic hometown dishes for firefighters who spend the festival in Jiajia, so that "the taste of mother" can accompany firefighters to celebrate the festival.
