Say "pick up garbage"

The most beautiful season in a year is autumn. The autumn colors in distant villages are picturesque and mangroves are yellow. In the clear autumn of 20 19, there was a sunny day without life, but there was a kind of warmth of "walking alone in the fallen leaves and sitting around counting fireflies" One morning, the clear blue sky was just "cleaned" and the blue sky was very clean; White clouds are infinitely white. Traveling in such fine weather makes me feel relaxed and free. I'm waiting for the bus in the city and I'm going on a business trip. Suddenly, a box-type open battery car stopped quietly in front of me. A man in the car quickly descended to the ground, reached for a "white garbage" convenient bag and a soft cigarette case on the side of the road, and threw them into the open carriage. A seemingly ordinary behavior of "picking up garbage" has always been fixed in my mind and lingering. Because he has a pair of firewood hands as rough as "bark" and has no protection. It can be said that he is "picking up garbage" with his bare hands! Because of his agility, he stopped, got off the bus, bent over, picked up garbage and got up to throw it away quickly, only three or five seconds before and after! It is precisely because of the special geographical location of the bus platform that irrelevant vehicles can't stay for a long time ... Many men and women wearing bright orange vests sweep away all the "garbage" and make the city "bright", "clean", "smooth" and "beautiful". Many "causes" and "effects" make the image of the thin man who "picks up garbage" and the image of everyone in this "bright orange vest" team higher and higher in my heart and unforgettable!

As we all know, sanitation workers always wear "bright orange vests" on the street in all seasons. They have a "foreign name", that is, "city beauticians". Their native names are "sweeping the street", "sweeping the road", "sweeping the garbage" and "picking up garbage". I remember a middle-aged woman who made it clear when she was looking for a job that I would do anything as long as she didn't "sweep the street". The reason is very simple, that is, "sweeping the street" makes people feel inferior. Another important reason is that this kind of work is "dangerous" to some extent. It is insatiable from morning till night and works on the main road. This is the "bright orange vest" with two reflective gold "warning lines", just like the "warning line" on the traffic police uniform. In the early morning, or at night, the sky is dark, and two golden "warning lines" will reflect light after the traffic lights at night. In this sense, these two golden "warning lines" are also "warning lines" to protect the lives of this special group of people.

In recent years, the autumn and winter clothes of sanitation workers have been greatly improved, that is, they are equipped with suits, which are still "bright orange" and there are still two reflective "golden" strips on their shirts.

A pair of rough hands, a thin body, a "bright orange vest", or a "bright orange suit", a broom, an iron dustpan, a bamboo clip, a battery car replaced by an open carriage in recent years, and so on, seem to be the "standard" of sanitation workers. These ordinary people, wearing extremely cheap uniforms and carrying simple tools, actively serve the role of "street angels" and are responsible for the 24-hour cleaning of all public places such as urban streets, parks and residential quarters, bringing comfort and beauty to citizens everywhere.

At about 4 o'clock in the morning, the sound of sweeping the floor broke the silence of the sky and awakened people to welcome the dawn. The garbage truck also started at this time, and the roar of the motor also indicated the beginning of a busy day. The extra two-foot "bamboo clip" is a special tool for "picking up garbage", which is used to pick up "white garbage", cigarette butts, candy paper, sundries and so on. It is not convenient to clean stone crevices, flower beds, tree nests and sidewalks on the roadside.

I remember that as early as the early spring of 2065438+2002, I went to Zunyi City, my son-in-law's hometown, which is a "hot city" for "red tourism" and also the location of an important town rich in Moutai. The rising new town is spotless, and almost no white garbage can be seen, mainly because some "volunteers" of "40" and "50" are "picking up garbage", with red armbands of "volunteers" on their arms and more than two pieces of bamboo chopsticks in their hands, which are specially used to remove the "white" that is inconvenient to clean in kerbs, flower beds, tree nests and sidewalks. Seeing what these "scavengers" and "volunteers" have done, I can't help but express my heartfelt admiration for them from the bottom of my heart!

In recent years, Zhijiang is also active in a team of "volunteers" who pick up garbage. They wear "red vests" and take their convenient bags wherever they go. Their footprints are all over Yichang and surrounding counties and cities. Wherever they can see and reach, those "white rubbish" are gone in an instant.

Go back to the villain at the beginning of the article. Of course, his small battery garbage truck can't stop at the flying bus stop, but he found that there is "white garbage" here. If the garbage is caught with bamboo clips, time is not allowed, which requires him to pick up the garbage quickly with his bare hands and leave immediately. This quick "flash away" kung fu, or agile skill, is the result of long-term practice. Wouldn't it be great if every citizen in our country exercised self-discipline, overcame the bad habit of littering and littering, temporarily held the rubbish that shouldn't be thrown in his hand, and then threw it into the dustbin when he found it? I always do. I shouldn't throw rubbish at will, and I will never throw it. So is my daughter and two granddaughters. They have formed a good habit of not littering since childhood. If each of us can be a "civilized citizen", wouldn't thin people be scrambling to pick up garbage with their bare hands on the main road, and sometimes even risking their lives to do such a humble thing!

What's more, it was recently discovered that the bus stop was actually equipped with a trash can! People waiting to get on and off here should not litter!

As we all know, the average wage level of sanitation workers may be the lowest compared with other industries, but they bear an extremely heavy workload, and they always strive to be the forefront of civilized cities and sanitary cities. They came in the wind and went in the rain, braved the scorching sun and the heat to resist the cold and freezing, and exchanged their six-foot bodies and calloused hands for the beauty, cleanliness and beauty of the earth, becoming the vanguard of "creating health".

As the saying goes: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world!" This thin man, as well as many sanitation workers sweeping the streets and many volunteers picking up garbage, are ministers who are unknown and love to sweep the world! I hope that the earth we live in will be cleaner, more "volunteers" will join in, and we will all become "guardians" of the beautiful environment. ...
