(Baonghean.vn) - Society is constantly moving, day or night. Let's take a look at a series of photos of people who have to work while we are sleeping.

Railway employee

Trains are an extremely popular means of long-distance travel in Vietnam thanks to their affordable prices and the railway network that runs throughout the country. Many people choose trains because they travel at moderate speeds, feel safe, and especially because you can "sleep while traveling".

However, while the passengers are sleeping, the railway staff must be on guard throughout the journey. They hardly get a uninterrupted sleep because at each stop, they have to control, guide passengers on and off, and check the machinery and equipment on the train.

Taxi Driver.

Taxi driving is one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs because they have to work regardless of the time, going wherever the customer wants. They can often receive requests for service in the middle of the night over long distances. Unsafe traffic conditions and robberies are the dangers they often face.

Environmental sanitation worker

Garbage is inevitable in places where there are human activities. To maintain a safe living environment, we need sanitation workers. Their work only begins when the pace of life slows down: from about 6 pm to 2 am. Think of the huge amount of waste we throw away every day and it all "disappears" overnight as if by magic.

Actually there is no miracle, it is the silent sacrifice of sanitation workers that few people notice.

Construction worker

Someone said that the clearest sign to recognize the development or stagnation of a civilization is the construction works. For urban areas on the rise like Vinh city, the urgent completion of large-scale projects is always put on top priority.

That means construction workers often have to work through the night to "run" the progress. So don't be too surprised if youIn the morning when you pass by a building and realize it has grown taller.

To get fresh food to consumers the same day, wholesale markets operate all night from 11pm to 5am before sunrise. Nightlife has become a routine for the traders here.

And many more...

To make a living, many people still have to work when the city has gone to sleep. These are often hard jobs that few people want to do. At night, when you return home to spend time with your family and go to bed on time, feel lucky and thank those who are working in the dark so that this cycle of life never stops.
