Li Shuanling's station is 55 meters high in the air. She is a female tower crane driver of Section I of Xiong'an Railway Construction Center Project.

At 6:30 every morning, we climbed through the narrow vertical steel ladder to a height of 55 meters. In the cab of less than 2 square meters, we controlled the huge tower crane to accurately transport the building materials to the designated location, which lasted for 10 hours.

Li Shuanling, a post-90s man, has been a tower crane driver for more than three years. During this period, he has visited nearly ten project sites in Xiong'an New Area and participated in the construction of all new areas in Xiong'an New Area so far. Why do they become friends with tower cranes? Li Shuanling said calmly, "I earn a lot and I'm free. I'm not afraid of heights. I learned. It's like going to bed at home."

"The left joystick controls the front and rear of the trolley, the left and right of the boom, and the right joystick controls the lifting hook up and down. When doing these actions, in addition to being careful, we should also closely cooperate with the ground signalman to test the accuracy and cooperation at all times." Li Shuanling said frankly that the most difficult thing is not to mount the tower crane, but to operate quickly, steadily and accurately.

"Lower hook", "Hook stop", "Left swing of boom"... With the instructions of the ground signalman, Li Shuanling operated according to her command and the tower crane information on the display screen, and finally accurately transported the construction materials to the designated location on the construction site. Every time the transportation is successful, Li Shuanling has a sense of pride. She has fallen in love with this "high-energy daily".
