Think and share
Zhang Jian is a policeman. For him, festivals often mean more work. He is often much busier during festivals because there are usually more people in need of help. He has to work without any breaks for a long time. He gives up his family time to answer the call of duty. Zhang’s duty means he needs to stand by every minute, but he never regrets his decision to be a policeman.
He is only one of millions of policemen and policewomen. In my heart, their hard work shines brighter than festive fireworks.
