The mountain area didn't take a break on New Year's Day, but we finished work a little earlier in the afternoon.
The cafeteria chef specially steamed buns with sauerkraut and pork filling, limited to five per person.
The buns were quite large, but not enough for Sheng Xiping and the others' appetites.
So they each got some more food and enjoyed a delicious meal.
There was already a lot of timber on the mountain, so after New Year's Day, Sheng Xiping started leading people to slide the timber down the mountain.
Around the beginning of the year, the coldest season arrives.

No matter how harsh the weather, forestry workers must persevere in completing their production tasks without any delays.
The ice gullies in the valley have been repaired and frozen, making them very sturdy and usable.
When collecting timber, the logs are arranged diagonally on both sides of the ice ditch in a fishbone pattern.
At this moment, several people came forward and used a small lever to pry the log, making it roll into the icy ditch.
The ice trough had a hard base and was a bit slippery, so the logs slid directly down it.
The enormous logs, weighing over a thousand pounds, slid down with tremendous force and at an incredibly fast speed; the scene was truly breathtaking.
After the person above lowered the log, he shouted, "It's down!"
Those below kept their eyes on the ice creek above and sought cover to avoid being hit by the logs.
