YUANJIANG, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Shi Pengbin, 28, is a technician responsible for maintaining the Yuanjiang major bridge, a key bridge of the China-Laos Railway project. Spanning a full length of 832.2 meters, the Yuanjiang bridge uses six bridge piers with the No.3 bridge pier, the highest pier, standing at 154 meters.
Shi, who started working for the construction of the China-Laos Railway from April 2020, even postponed his wedding to guarantee on-time completion of the bridge.
After the operation of China-Laos Railway, Shi's work includes checking the bridge in high places during the day, and repairing the bridge floor during the break time for rail service at night.
During this year's Spring Festival holiday, Shi and his colleagues will stick to their posts to secure the railway transportation.
