The flight attendant choked up and comforted the stranded passengers

Train encountered collapse, professional spirit not collapsed

"I have to live up to everyone because I'm wearing this outfit!" On July 30th, due to heavy rainfall, the K396 train stopped midway, and a female train attendant choked up and comforted the passengers. Today, a video caught the attention of all parties.

In the video, flight attendant Zhao Yang choked up and comforted the passengers, saying, "We walked seven to eight hundred meters to transport the things back to the two collapsed areas. It's because I'm wearing these clothes that I have to live up to everyone. Don't crowd!"

Imagine that if the road collapses again or other accidents occur when rainstorm is pouring, these workers are likely to encounter accidents. Parking to avoid danger is for the safety of passengers, taking the risk of crossing a collapsed area of about one kilometer, buying food for passengers, and also for the benefit of passengers. With the gradual distribution of food and the gathering of passengers towards the dining car, more and more people, the scene of part-time duty officer Zhao Yang organizing the order of passengers in the above video appeared. When everyone learned that these foods were transported back by the train conductor at the risk of their lives, their originally anxious and even angry emotions instantly eased. There is a group of flight attendants who have done this, and they cannot fail to understand and cooperate.

The more difficult and dangerous it is, the more it tests responsibility. Under the guidance of the flight attendants, the mutual assistance of passengers is also worth praising. It is reported that due to the lack of food and water, children and the elderly can only be given priority. Many adults suffer from hunger and fatigue and only eat a little white porridge. The train conductor and passengers jointly built a heating furnace in the carriage, warming each other.

The heroic moments of ordinary people in life are always more easily moved and resonate. During this nationwide heavy rainfall, many areas were affected and in danger, countless ordinary people stepped forward. One by one dutiful figure, one by one desperate scene, explains what is the relentless rainstorm and love in the world. As long as everyone does what they should do well, understands and supports each other, we have no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
