"Today is one hundred days after my son was born." On February 3, Li Zheng counted the toolbox needed for his work and said to his colleagues at the same time. Li Zheng, born in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in 1990, entered Changsha locomotive depot of China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. after graduating from University at the age of 22. In 2013, he started to drive ordinary trains and became a high-speed railway driver four years later. After the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, the train drivers of Wuhan Railway Bureau Group Co., Ltd. were in short supply. On January 28, Li Zheng learned that his main line fleet of Changsha south high speed railway operation workshop would take over from Wuhan Bureau Group Co., Ltd. to take on the task of high-speed railway traction between Changsha south and Zhengzhou, Changsha south and Hefei, while the number of high-speed railway trains between Changsha and Shenzhen that Li Zheng was originally on duty was reduced and the staff was relatively sufficient. As the line stops in Wuhan, Li Zheng asks for war without telling his family. A few days later, his wife saw the news of his rescue in Wuhan in the circle of friends of Li Zheng's colleagues. She told Li Zheng, "don't hide it from me, I know you will go."
