What comforted they felt when they could finally step out once again onto their homeland's soil! In the book, Chen shows the workers at the airport both as they clean and disinfect to prevent the spread of the virus and as they calm the spirits of travelers returning home. The book captures sanitizing crews, quarantine personnel and "epidemic prevention fleet" taxi drivers hard at work. The portrayals of the clerks at duty-free shops who still come to work in high spirits and with welcoming smiles symbolize TTIA's warm service even in the face of the pandemic. Aside from its engaging plot, the book is also well researched and instructive. The illustrations detail the screening of inbound travelers, cold chain logistics of vaccine, and the ground vehicles that perform special airport operations, which fascinate children and give all its readers greater familiarity with TTIA. Over the past two years the national gateway of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA) has relied on a group of virus-fighting heroes to keep COVID at bay. These airport workers are memorialized in the picture book Guardians of the National Gateway. From the perspective of a traveler returning home to Taiwan, the book shows the hard work being done at the airport to protect the health of the nation’s people.
