Since 2002, the Maytas wind prevention and rescuing base has been responsible for road clearing and rescuing of the S201 in the region. For people who are on duty here, work can last day and night. They patrol on every windy and snowy day, rescue and transfer people at first, then drag out buried cars after bad weather and clear the road and resume the traffic. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
