「Heroes, welcome home!」 Before the plane arrived at Jiangbei Airport, the ground crew of the airport and other personnel had been waiting early on the apron, holding banners and cards. They were waiting for welcoming heroes home.
「It’s snowy when you leave, and spring has come when you come back!」 「Look out for each other and go through difficulties together!」 「Here we are!」 「Thanks for your hard work!」 ... On the other side of the apron, a group of airport stevedores held up warm lettering as if they were fans at a concert. Medical staff at the Airport Medical Rescue Center responsible for temperature detection, escort police cars, police to maintain order, buses... All of them were looking forward to the plane.
At 18:19, the flight carrying heroes arrived at Jiangbei International Airport. Two fire trucks waiting on the airport apron spewed water into the sky, forming an arched door. 「This is 'water salute',the high-level etiquette in the civil aviation industry to welcome our heroes,」 the relevant person in charge of Jiangbei International Airport said.
At around18:30, the cabin door was opened slowly, and 133 members of Chongqing medical team stepped off the plane.
