Artisan Quotes

"As long as you persist, you will see the dawn, and in the future you will definitely thank yourself for doing your best today."

——Zhao Shupin

On November 16th, the first phased assessment of the welding project of the 46th WorldSkills Competition was held in Wendeng Technician College in Weihai City, Shandong Province. At only 24 years old, Zhao Yuping appeared on the field as a referee and attracted much attention.

The 45th WorldSkills Competition Welding Project Champion, National Technical Expert, Sichuan Craftsman, Chief Welder Technician of China Nineteen Metallurgical Group Co., Ltd., enjoys the special government allowance of the State Council... The young Zhao Not only has a world championship aura on his head, but also has many enviable honors.

Confident, youthful, full of vitality, Standing at the tip of the skill pyramid, Zhao Yuping represents a new image of youth - they use their skills to change their personal destiny, realize their dreams in life, and open up the channel of upward mobility on the new skill track.

Zhao's counterattack story is like a stone, stirring up layers of ripples, allowing people to see the infinite possibilities of learning skills.

The small town set off a wave of skills

"I am a welder, there is no particularly big skill, is to metal welding, accidentally won a world champion..." "I am a welding teacher, there is nothing outstanding, that is, brought out several world champions..." In August this year, the final of the welder project of the 7th Sichuan Provincial Staff Vocational Skills Competition was held in Panzhihua, and in the warm-up video recorded by the organizers, a "Versailles" style humor presented by a master-apprentice dialogue was fired out of the circle for a while. Zhao Isleng is the apprentice in the video.

In Panzhihua, Zhao Hashi has long been a well-known red man.

The "champion effect" brought by Zhao's spinaches is setting off a wave of skills in this small southwestern city named after flowers. Welding, which used to be cold in admissions, has become a popular choice in Panzhihua Technician College in recent years, and this year it has accepted 200 new students as never before.

If he hadn't learned to weld, Zhao, who was born in 1997, may have only two possibilities in life: take over the hoe in his mother's hand to farm, or drive a truck like his father to make ends meet.

Huili County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is where Zhao Was born and raised. In the few years when the country fought a decisive battle to overcome poverty, as one of the deeply impoverished areas, Liangshan Prefecture was once regarded as "the poverty of the poor, the difficulty of the poor, and the difficulty of the difficult". Zhao's parents, in order to support their two sons, have been living a tight life.

In 2013, Panzhihua Technician College came to Huili County to enroll, and this year, Sichuan took the lead in implementing the policy of "free for middle jobs" in the country.

"Free skills, and grants, why not give it a try?" Zhao, who wanted to learn some money-making skills, mistakenly entered the Panzhihua Technician College and learned welding.

In the year of enrollment, Wang Chenyu, a brother who was three years older than him, won the 42nd World Championship Welding Project Winner Award in Leipzig, Germany, which aroused the attention of teachers and students of the whole school. Two years later, his brother Zeng Zhengchao won the first gold in the history of welding projects for China at the 43rd World Championships in São Paulo, Brazil, which attracted national attention. Zhao Shuping's heart was greatly touched: "It turns out that the welding torch in his hand can knock on the door of the world stage!" ”

A seed of a dream sprouted in his heart.

From "Little Transparent" to World Champion

From "little transparent" to world champion, Zhao Hasong has come a long way.

In 2015, Panzhihua Technician College carried out the first large-scale on-campus selection to cultivate reserve forces for the 44th World Championships, and Zhao Yu reported his name.

To become a world champion, you need to go through four levels of selection: school, city, province and country. At that time, in the preparation and training team composed of seventy or eighty people, Zhao Shuping was ordinary to some "transparency".

At that year's national selection competition, Zhao Shuping regrettably stopped in the top five, but based on his age, he still had the possibility of participating in the 45th World Championship, and he has been following the current seed players for intensive training.

Zhao Wei, 31, was an assistant coach during Zhao's training camp. In his impression, Zhao Washupin was silent and tenacious, always completing all the training by himself with high quality, even if everyone did not pay attention to him.

"At that time, my skills were really inferior to those of others, and I could only practice hard, thinking that even if I couldn't enter the World Championships, I could practice a strong skill." Welding process pays attention to stability, accuracy, uniformity, in order to practice wrist strength, Zhao Shupin with his hand to lift a large Coke bottle filled with water, a support is a few hours, in order to practice "squatting", he reads, washes clothes as much as possible to squat to complete.

"Welding is a contest of precision, and at the World Championships, success or failure is often between microns." Rolling up his sleeves, Zhao Yupin's arm revealed a tired scar. When practicing back welding, the welding flowers were poured into the cuffs, which made him feel the pain of drilling his heart, but in order to achieve the "perfection" of the weld, he could only endure not moving.

During that time, he had to complete no less than 15 hours of training every day, and even eating, sleeping, and bathing had to be "stuck" within the specified time.

"No matter how late you have to complete the training tasks of the day, sometimes weld until the early morning, and then you have to get up as usual at 6 o'clock the next day." Zhao Recalls that before standing on the podium of the World Championship, such a training life lasted for more than 4 years.

In the boring training, Zhao Yuping had the idea of giving up more than once, and even secretly cried many times. However, after each emotional release, he will pick up the welding gun again, "For the dream, you must grit your teeth and persevere." ”

The "Great Future" of New Craftsmen

After returning from collecting gold from Kazan, Russia, Zhao was invited to stay in Panzhihua Technician College as an assistant teacher and lead the training team members to prepare for the new World Championships.

"This is a kind of inheritance, but also to make psychological and ability preparations for the production line." Zhou Shuchun, a teacher at Panzhihua Technician College and the head of the coaching team of the Chinese training team of the WorldSkills Competition welding project, said.

For two years, Zhao has maintained the same routine with the preparing players every day, and the "gold medal players" are striving to become the "gold medal coach".

Due to the epidemic, the 46th World Championships scheduled to be held in Shanghai this year have been postponed for one year, which means that the cycle of "devil training" for the preparing players has been extended again. Whenever the progress of the teachers and disciples is not smooth, zhao Shuping, the "person who came over", will patiently explain: "As long as you persist, you will see the dawn, and in the future, you will definitely thank yourself for doing your best today." ”

The fate of the individual is closely intertwined with the times. Zhao Shuping often sighed, "Everything is a gift of the times." ”

In March 2016, the spirit of craftsmanship was written into the government work report for the first time, the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team was in full swing, and the hard-working Zhao Shuping boarded the high-speed train of skilled talents and ushered in one "highlight moment" after another of life.

At this year's meeting of Chinese and foreign journalists celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, he was interviewed as a representative of the new development party members, sitting on the stage in overalls and looking at the "long guns and short cannons" of the media, feeling infinite glory after being nervous, "The voice of skilled talents has received so much attention, I am really proud!" ”

"I hope that more young people will use their skills to achieve a 'great future' in life." Tasting the "sweetness" of skills, Zhao Yuping had a strong willingness to share in his heart, and he often walked into vocational colleges and used his own stories to inspire young students. His younger brother, who had originally driven a truck, was also pulled back to school and entered the welder class.

Welding is the basis of industrial manufacturing, according to conservative estimates, there are about 3 million welding workers in China. Zhao, who climbed to the top of the skill pyramid, deeply realized that he could do more for this industry.

After the end of the 46th World Championship, Zhao Shupin, who has seen the "big scene", will return to the production line, in the splash of welding flowers, with the World Championship standards to meet and lead the actual production requirements of enterprises, his goal is to "become a new craftsman with compound skills".

The path of skill shines and is worth chasing

Luo Juan

At the scene of the 45th WorldSkills Competition, after the competition, Zhao Yuping ran all the way to coach Zhou Shuchun shyly, hesitated, and embraced the coach with open arms. This common way of celebrating a sports champion is not common in skill competitions.

In communicating with an auto repair technology champion, he used the very philosophical language "Enlightenment" to describe what it was like to practice hitting the tin over and over again.

Gu Huijing, a student of Shenzhen Vocational School who recently became popular on the Internet, has long hair and a sweet appearance. But the next second, she became a "woman" dressed in overalls to remove the tires, "can be dressed in white, can also be untied"...

These young skill champions invariably give people a "new" feeling, and when communicating with many of the skill experts who have brought out the champions, they mention one word: new workers.

From the outside, the new workers are no longer plainly dressed and have oil-stained hands, some of them are dressed in fashion, some of them talk freely, and some of them use heart-shaped walls to express their love... Like all the new youth in this new era.

They acquire new skills, are in new occupations, and even learn technology and become workers. They will mention one word over and over again – love. Zhao Shuping is eager to go to the production line to show his fists, the aforementioned auto repair skill champion is full of ambition to engage in technological innovation in the enterprise, Gu Huijing selected a number of schools for the study of auto repair. Whether it's because you love it and choose to learn the technology, or fall in love with the skill while learning. This is very different from the previous choice of working as a means of livelihood.

Today, more and more occupations are developing in the direction of high-value and digitalization, and the boundaries between blue-collar and white-collar workers are becoming more and more blurred. These skill champions have a great lighthouse effect, and their choices, their success, show that new workers have a sparkling skill path. Taking the road of becoming a skilled talent is not a helpless choice to retreat to the second place, but is in line with the general trend of scarcity and deep gold content.

As the most top-notch skilled talents in China, skill champions stand on the pyramid tip of their respective fields, and what constitutes the base of the pyramid is a huge team of industrial workers. How to make the tower grow?

The ideological background of the new workers has given us new enlightenment, not only to enable skilled workers to live and enjoy dignity, but also to enable them to look up at the stars and chase the future with their superb skills.

Only the glittering path of skill is worth the youth of an era to chase.
