The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is the first railway in Yunnan Province and narrow-gauge trains have been running on the railway for over a century. The Wujiazhai railway bridge is located in the railway section of Pingbian Miao Autonomous County of Yunnan, which was built in 1907 and has stood between cliffs for over a hundred years. Yang Youguang, a retired soldier, has been guarding the bridge for over 30 years. His job requires him to navigate through both the interior and exterior of the tunnel, inspecting the overall condition of the bridge and examining components. When a train approaches, Yang Youguang needs to record the passing time. Now, Yang Youguang, along with his wife and colleagues, take turns to stand guard at the bridge, ensuring the safety of passing trains. (Xinhua/Hu Chao)
