Unsung Heroes of the City - The Cleaners |
|
They are the unsung heroes of the city, tirelessly working to keep our streets
clean no matter the weather. From 4 am to 10 am, they work diligently to make
our city sparkle, earning the nickname "beauticians of the city" - they are the
cleaners.
Despite their meager salary of just over a thousand yuan, they devote themselves
to their work, like old oxen plowing the fields, and contribute their sweat and
effort to the city.
I remember one time during a cold winter day, with the temperature below
freezing, I was on my way to school. The wind was howling, and the snow was
falling heavily. Everything was covered in a white blanket, and the world seemed
frozen. I suddenly noticed an old cleaner, dressed in an orange uniform, in his
late sixties. His face was wrinkled, and his uniform was covered in a thin layer
of snow. When he saw me, he stopped his work, smiled kindly at me, brushed off
the snow from his beard, and continued with his work. He used a heavy broom to
gather the snow together and then shoveled it into the drain with a shovel. His
face was covered in beads of sweat, which he wiped away with his sleeve before
moving on to the next spot.
The cleaners work tirelessly, rain or shine, to keep our city clean, yet they
receive little recognition or respect for their hard work. Let us take a moment
to appreciate these unsung heroes and the important work they do for our city. |
