A photo of a smiling firefighter has gone viral over China’s social media.

The firefighter, carrying heavy fire control equipment, had a heartfelt smile, flashing shining teeth on his face blackened by smoke.

The photo has been reposted multiple times through WeChat or Weibo, including by some official accounts. Some web users commented that “the smile made me wanna cry.”

Zhang Xiaofang, the 28-year-old man in the photo, is a contracted firefighter from Cangnan County of Wenzhou city, in east China’s Zhejiang Province.

The photo was taken around 5pm on July 12 when he returned from the fire scene for the sixth time of that day. Zhang said he was responding to his smiling team leader at that time and has no idea who took the photo.

He said it was much like a rite that firefighters returned with a heartfelt smiles on their face from a scene without any casualties reported.
