This is Fu Jinrong, a veteran who retired from service in 1983.
He returned to his home of Guilin in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region the same year.
Over the past 38 years, he came to Pingxiang every year to remember his late comrade-in-arms Jin Changping.
At that time, some of the border villages in Pingxiang where Fu and Jin were once stationed had not connected to the power grid.
Fu was saddened by the life the villagers lived.
That prompted him to move to Pingxiang in 1992 and become a power grid maintenance worker of China Southern Power Grid.
Pingxiang is sitting on the China-Vietnam border.
Setting up power lines here could be dangerous as hundreds of thousands of landmines were laid along the border during confrontations between China and Vietnam from 1979 to 1989.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fu and his colleagues have also helped with virus control work.
Several months ago, Pingxiang decided to set up an integrated nucleic acid testing lab near a border gate.
In 1974, there were only three power lines in this region.
Today, the number increased to 43, requiring the hard work of the power grid maintenance team to ensure a smooth power supply.
Fu and his co-workers were responsible for the power supply work.
