12:00 noon, the morning's work is over. Wei Yanyong took off the rubber gloves that had worn holes. His hands had been whitened, and his hands were covered with black stains. "As long as you go out to work, you have to wear rubber gloves. It's too thin to work, or it's easy to be cut off by garbage glass wire." Wei Yanyong said, because the loss is fast, an average of 10 days to change a new pair of gloves; old gloves he also reluctant to throw away, grinding holes will wear more days.

"salvage the garbage on the water surface is much more difficult than sweeping the rubbish on the road." Wei Yanyong said that plastic bags and paper shells are the hardest to salvage. The weight of light fluttering plastic bags and paper shells will increase several times in the water. Sometimes the paper shell is bigger than the net and can only be slowly rowed in the past. Some of the rubbish can not be found on the interception network. They have to go down to the depth of two meters to reach the boat with their hands.
Wei Yanyong, they are responsible for the two kilometers of the river, the most downstream of the West River. It is their most stressful time when it rains heavily or in the upper reaches of the river. A large amount of rubbish rushes down from the upstream and piles up. The thickness can reach twenty or thirty centimeters and clean up for at least two or three days. "Food waste, leftovers, leftovers, foam boxes, woven bags... There's nothing on the whole river. " Wei Yanyong said that when food is hot, food waste will stink and affect water quality. There are also people who kill cats and kill cats and throw them into the river. Five or six have been picked up this year.
after cleaning up the garbage in the boat ashore, Wei Yanyong gathered up the tools to finish the work in the morning. At this point, a red plastic bag containing rubbish fell off the side viaduct and landed on the water. Wei Yanyong and his partners had to row the boat again to the center of the river to salvage the plastic bags. "This is often seen, and sometimes there will be a bottle of mineral water filled with half a bottle of water, and the height of more than 10 meters falls and it hurts." Wei Yanyong said that it would be nothing to get a little hard work, but I hope everyone will have a sense of environmental protection and stop throwing rubbish into the river.
the police have to dry up the corpse of the body and help the police to catch the corpse
at 2:00 p.m., the sweaty coat hangs on the clothesline. In fact, Wei Yanyong's work is far more than garbage collection. He is also a main member of dredging and flood prevention every year. "We are most familiar with this river, and we are involved in all matters related to this river." Wei Yanyong said that every summer is the busiest time, because of the river downstream, flood control pressure is huge, "the most stressful before the rain, to the river to stop the garbage net, afraid that too much of the garbage to block flood." When it rains, we need to patrol the river to prevent accidents.
worked all year round in the West River. Wei Yanyong was very familiar with the river course. For this reason, he helped the police to salvage the body. "At that time, there was a big woven bag floating on the water. It smelled very smelly. Then the police came to the scene to know that it was a corpse. At that time, I was very frightened when I was fishing, and I didn't sleep that night. "
the rest of the hard work, the most comforting thing for Wei Yanyong is that in the community and their efforts, there are less and less rubbish in the West River in recent years, and the water is a lot cleaner. In order to manage the river section, the leaders of the Liu Yun community have set up 4 people in the river cleaning team, which specializes in the purchase of garbage ships, transportation vehicles, and fishing tools. "For river cleaning, we have fixed inputs every year, and we will increase the number of mobile personnel patrolling in flood season." The official said, the river is also the face of the community, the river is clean, and there is light on the face.
