For most people, festivals usually mean a break from work and happy family reunions. But for Zhang Jian, festivals mean more work. Zhang Jian is a policeman. It’s his duty to keep people safe and help people in trouble. So he is much busier during festivals. He has little time to be with his family. He needs to stand by every minute. Zhang Jian is only one of millions of policemen in China. He gives up his family time to answer the call of duty. His hard work shines brighter than festive fireworks.
