CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On February 8, building workers at Chongqing Longxing Football Field Project received a delicious food for the Spring Festival: pork from Chongqing Liangjiang New Area Longxing Industrial Park Construction Investment Co., Ltd.

In response to the call for celebrating the Spring Festival locally, some migrant building workers from Chongqing Longxing Football Field Project chose to stay in Chongqing for the Spring Festival. Upon receiving this delicious food, the canteen masters of Project Department have planned to make a variety of food: steamed pork with rice flour, double cooked pork slices...

“It sounds delicious. It’s also fun to spend the Spring Festival with my co-workers.” Zhang Dengquan works on Longxing Football Field Project. His hometown is Kaijiang, Sichuan Province. When he learned that they were recommended to celebrate the Spring Festival locally this year, he discussed with his family to respond to the recommendation. He said that “My families understood and supported this recommendation.”

“We can also feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival even though we stay in Chongqing for the Spring Festival.” On the New Year’s Eve, workers staying in Chongqing for the Spring Festival will be invited to make dumplings together, according to Hu Qingyun, the Head of Longxing Football Field Project of China Eighth Engineering Bureau Ltd. Southwest Company. During the Spring Festival, the canteen of the Project Department will also be open free of charge to prepare local dishes to “relieve their homesickness”.

In addition, the Project Department is also equipped with basketball courts, badminton, table tennis, and fitness facilities, so that the workers who stayed at the construction site for the Spring Festival would enjoy a warm holiday.

It is understood that Chongqing Longxing Football Field covers an area of about 303 mu, with a total construction area of about 170,000 square meters, and can contain about 60,000 persons to watch matches. Chongqing Longxing Football Field is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
