During Zishi (the period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.), “the planned length of pouring is 120m today, and we can call it a day at 7 o’clock in the morning at normal speed,” Liu Defu said so. In the project that needs high quality within a short period of time, Liu Defu and his workmates work at nights. In order to maintain the same suspension bridge style as Egongyan Bridge, two main cables and 122 slings are designed on both sides of Egongyan Rail Transit Bridge.

During Choushi (the period of the day from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m.), Yan Jiuyue is cleaning out the fog on windows of the sentry box. He is a newly security officer of Egongyan Bridge Administration Office. He works from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. There is no pedestrian path on Egongyan Bridge, so people are not allowed to go across the bridge, making the night duty much boring. Yan Jiuyue can say a few words every one hour and a half to report the bridge condition via the interphone: “Headquarters, surrounding facilities of east tower pillar run normally.”

During Yinshi (the period of the day from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.), when people are taking a sound sleep, stars in the sky have recorded our stories throughout the day. There are still many vehicles running on the bridge. We will go across many bridges in our life, which will take us to the best next stop to experience the best 12 two-hour periods.
