The temperature at the time was below minus 30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit), according to China Daily. The incredibly low temperature froze their gear to the point that they stood upright after taking them off – giving the impression that they had donned ice armor.

It was so cold that even the water shooting out of the fire hose started to freeze once it hit the frigid air.

It really is inspiring to see people work hard even when the odds are against them, like the female traffic officer who worked her beat despite being covered in snow and frost. Another perfect example is the schoolboy who went viral earlier in January named Wang Manfu, better known as “Ice Boy”.
