In the bitter wind, a telecommunications team spent two hours connecting a remote(偏僻的) village with the 4G communication network, so a student there could attend online classes.
Jiang Lingyun, a freshman at a university in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, stayed at her hometown for a prolonged(延长的)winter vacation as most Chinese students did during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. But the weak network signals in the village held her back, when her universityresumedclasses live online. Jiang sent the state-owned China Tower (China Tower Corporation Ltd.) call for help on the Weibo social platform. To her surprise, a team from China Tower and China Mobile traveled hundreds of miles through the snow for 10 hours to reach her village, at the northeastern tip of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and solved the problem.
"We were worried about Jiang when we received her message. It is our responsibility to help her," said Xiao Sha, a member of the team. Jiang and her parents were very grateful for the strong signal: "So many people came to install the antenna(天线)and adjust the signal just for a student, and I really appreciate it." The stories are posted on China Tower's official Weibo account, where those needing help can turn.
China Tower also helps teachers to solve signal problems in online teaching in remote villages with online schools.
