It was the sixth day of the Spring Festival holiday, and a fruit market in Tangshan, Hebei was full of trucks (卡车) and sellers. But inside a police station nearby, a group of children aged 4 to 13 were happily studying and playing.
These kids’ parents were fruit sellers who worked day and night. They had no time to look after their children. To help with that, police officers turned their station into a daycare—a safe and warm place for kids.
Officer Zhang Caijie noticed the need for this service while walking around the market. He saw a girl doing homework in the cold market. Her fingers were red from the cold, and this made him feel sad. There were many children like the girl in the market.
Zhang Caijie and other police officers cleared out part of their station, set up desks and chairs, and brought in books, toys and snacks. They also invited volunteers to turn the small room into a lively place for the children.
Safety (安全) was another reason for the service. Over 4,000 trucks came every day during the holiday. It was dangerous for kids to walk around.
For many parents, the service helped them a lot. “My son used to move his desk all day in the cold. Now he’s in a warm place, learning and making friends,” Mrs. Jiang, one parent, said.
