The spiritual inheritance of labor models has influenced generations of people! Photo exhibition of 100 model workers in Guangdong Province was launched

"Chinese Dream, Labor Beauty - Always Follow the Party and Forge Ahead on a New Journey" Since the launch of the Photo Exhibition of 100 Labor Models in Guangdong Province, more than 300 people have entered the exhibition hall every day and gained a lot of insights from the stories and contributions of 105 labor models: "Seeing the stories of labor models, I am deeply inspired, and in the new year, I hope to struggle more than one's post" "Heroic struggle for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" "Love and dedication to work, the pursuit of excellence, the spirit of labor models will always shine"... These more than 100 model workers have accompanied the development process of New China all the way, contributing light and heat to their respective posts. Let's relive their deeds together, feel their efforts and contributions, and see how they have influenced generations of workers.

Wang Changying, Gu Yuansong, Luo Muming

In the early days of the founding of New China, model workers emerged from among the "heroes of battle."

The first part of the Guangdong Provincial Hundred Labor Model Photo Exhibition, "Zun Ji Liye", begins with three labor models "evaluated" from the combat heroes, leaving a unique impression.

At the end of 1949, the liberation of Hainan Island was imminent, and the 1st Battalion of the 383rd Regiment of the 128th Division of the 43rd Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was the pioneer battalion for crossing the sea, and was intensively conducting sea crossing combat training on the East China Sea Island. At this time, Wang Changying was nearly half a hundred years old, because of his long years of fishing, he was quite familiar with the nearby waterways, and he was good at steering the boat, and was asked to assist in the training and navigation of the pioneer battalion across the sea.

In January 1950, Wang Changying directly "donated boats to join the army" and mobilized the people of the surrounding villages to bring boats to participate in the war. He belonged to three companies of the pioneer battalion of the sea crossing, and formed a sailor team with more than 40 soldiers with high consciousness, strong body and good water characteristics. In just 4 days, Wang Changying taught 15 sailors to learn techniques such as steering, pulling sails, and watching hydrology.

At 13:00 on March 10, 1950, the wind increased to more than five levels, and the pioneer battalion set sail, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the battalion were divided into 21 warships. Wang Changying was appointed captain of the shipwright detachment and led 121 shipwrights to assist in piloting the voyage, aiming directly at the Chishui Port on Hainan Island. At 10 o'clock that night, the wind and waves mixed with the torrential rain washed away the formation of the fleet, and Wang Changying, who was soaking wet, steadily held the rudder and rode the wind and waves. In the early morning of the next day, braving artillery fire, the vanguard battalion rushed to the beach to repel the enemy. After the successful landing, Wang Changying was ordered to return to Zhanjiang, mobilize 150 ships and more than 300 shipwrights, and escort more than 10,000 PLA commanders and fighters to land on Hainan Island again.

Wang Changying was thus credited with great merit twice, and after the war, he was awarded the honorary title of "Cross-Haite and other meritorious heroes". In late September 1950, Wang Changying went to Beijing to attend the first National Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers Labor Models and Combat Heroes, and was awarded the title of "National Labor Model".

Like Wang Changying, Gu Yuansong was also related to the "sea", worked on foreign ships, and later interned on many sea ships such as Dalian Yongyuan Company, Yantai Huitong Company and China Merchants Bureau, obtained three certificates, and was promoted to driver, acting captain and sea ship captain.

In 1950, the Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan, but still blockaded the interior at sea, and its warships often patrolled the coast of Hong Kong. Gu Yuansong, who was then the captain of the 302nd round of the People's Liberation Army, accepted the task of the Hong Kong underground party organization and served as the captain of the picketing brigade, actively countering a series of sabotage activities by Kuomintang agents.

On the evening of July 16, 1950, he was ordered to lead a ship to break through the blockade, carrying parts and materials of civil aviation aircraft, and arrived in Guangzhou the next afternoon, becoming the first captain to sail the uprising ship back to the motherland, and the 302nd ship was awarded the honorary title of "Uprising Pioneer Ship" by the Ministry of Communications.

After a short rest, Gu Yuansong returned to Hong Kong to smash the rumor spread by The Kuomintang agents that "the 302nd round of the people has been blown up," and seized the opportunity to publicize the party's principles and policies to the Hong Kong compatriots the beautiful prospects of the motherland, and then pulled a batch of materials back to Guangzhou, opening up the waterway of the southern gate of the motherland.

On July 8, 1954, Gu Yuansong joined the Communist Party of China. He and the 163nd Nanhai, where he was located, were a red flag for maritime transport in South China. On the morning of January 19, 1955, 163 rounds of the South China Sea anchored at Shantou Port were bombed by enemy aircraft, and at a critical moment, Gu Yuansong led all the crew to resist, setting a record that merchant ships hit an enemy plane with a small number of light weapons.

The labor models that emerged in the early days of the founding of New China also included Luo Muming, who supplied military supplies and improved the efficiency of technological reform.

In October 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army crossed the Yalu River and rushed to the Korean battlefield, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began. The Shantou Machinery Repair Factory, where Luo Muming is located, has added full horsepower to make the sprayers urgently needed for the war. On August 24, 1952, during the production process, Due to the calcium carbide explosion, Luo Muming was almost blind in both eyes.

Luo Mu ming did not admit his fate. He insisted on returning to work, using his spare time to repeatedly explore in the workshop to familiarize himself with all corners and passages of the workshop, so as to overcome the difficulty of moving around at work. But the difficulties go far beyond that. At the beginning of his blindness, Luo Muming's labor efficiency was low and his products were unqualified, but he did not give up. Inspired by the experience of technological innovation of national labor models Zhang Mingshan and Wang Chonglun, he began to study and improve production tools, and after repeated experiments, the method of improving the drilling machine wiper bowl was successful, and the efficiency was 3 times higher than that of ordinary workers.

By the end of 1954, Luo Muming had successfully innovated more than 10 kinds of tools and operating methods such as saw copper pipe machine, leather pipe machine and barrel painting tool, rubber pipe joint operation method, drill joint chip removal, etc. In 1955, Shantou Machinery Repair Factory established the Luo Mu Ming Group.

In technological innovation, Luo Musheng pays more than normal people. When designing the drawings, the eyes could not see clearly, so they found a blackboard, drew thick lines with chalk, and sometimes drew nearly a hundred times in succession before they barely drew a sketch. When processing parts, you can only touch them with your hands, and you are often stabbed and smashed.

The Luo Mu Ming group has improved and created a total of 375 production tools and equipment, carried out more than 800 technological innovations, and has been rated as an advanced group by governments at all levels for many times. In 1955, Luo Muming was named "Guangdong Province Special Labor Model", and in 1959, he was named "National Advanced Producer" and went to Beijing to attend the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Luo Muming is known as the "Paul model worker". His deeds were made into a feature film "Wise Eyes and Danxin" by the Pearl River Film Studio, and the Beijing Publishing House also published and distributed the book "Luo Mu Ming".

He Xiangjian, Li Dongsheng, Dong Mingzhu

In the years of reform, the model worker was the "tide maker" of the times

Many people may not understand that He Xiangjian, Li Dongsheng, Dong Mingzhu, these well-known entrepreneurs, these "tide makers" who "rose up" from the tide of reform and opening up, are also model workers. Their names are firmly associated with the Chinese-made brands Midea, TCL and Gree.

China's reform and opening up was first initiated in rural areas, and entrepreneurs also appeared in the image of "rural talents", and the enterprises they founded were collectively called "township enterprises", among which he Xiangjian founded "beautiful".

In the late 1970s, hong Kong and Macao compatriots returning to their hometowns to visit their relatives were popular with home appliances, and most foreign-invested joint ventures also chose the home appliance industry. He Xiangjian, who is in Shunde, a hometown of overseas Chinese, quickly smelled the business opportunities, and turned the plastic production group of Beijiao Commune, which was originally funded, into the Beijiao Commune Electrical Appliance Factory in Shunde County, and launched the first 40-centimeter Pearl brand table fan. Previously, like many township enterprises, He Xiangjian's enterprises were almost "what makes money and produces what".

In 1981, He Xiangjian officially registered the use of the "Midea" trademark, and the production business slowly extended from desk fans and page fans to air conditioners. At this time, Midea has 251 employees, an annual output of 13,167 fans, and a total output value of 3.284 million yuan. By 1988, Midea achieved an output value of 124 million yuan.

In 1992, after Deng Xiaoping delivered the Southern Speech, Guangdong Province vigorously promoted the experiment of shareholding system reform. He Xiangjian saw this as an opportunity to promote Midea's shareholding system reform and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1993. Midea became the first township enterprise in China to complete the transformation of the joint-stock system, and also the first listed company to be developed by the township enterprise.

In 1996, Midea suffered a crisis, and its sales ranking slipped to seventh place in the country. To this end, He Xiangjian launched the "division restructuring" and split the group into several business units with great operational autonomy. In the following years, Midea's performance has quadrupled, and its sales revenue has completed a leap from 3 billion yuan to 10 billion yuan.

In 2000, He Xiangjian was named a "National Model Worker", along with TCL's Li Dongsheng, who was jointly awarded the title of "Reform Pioneer" in 2018.

Li Dongsheng is known as "the pioneer of the electronics industry to open up the international market". He led TCL to carry out major cross-border mergers and acquisitions, pioneered the global operation of Chinese enterprises, and led enterprises to set up 28 R&D institutions around the world, and sold products to 160 countries and regions. In addition, he led the team to build a high-generation panel line that completely relies on independent innovation, independent team and independent construction, achieving a historic breakthrough in display technology in China's video industry, and making China a country that has mastered the independent development of high-end display technology after Japan and South Korea.

Dong Mingzhu, chairman and general manager of Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., who was named "National Labor Model" in 2015, is also a "hero" who has emerged from the beginning of reform and opening up.

In the labor model photo exhibition, the introduction of Dong Mingzhu is "a firm promoter of Made in China". In April 2013, at the Hannover Messe, the concept of "Industry 4.0" was officially introduced, which meant the start of an evolutionary revolution in manufacturing. At this time in China, the e-commerce boom is more than enough, the industrial support is insufficient, the manufacturing industry has no self-confidence, and someone needs to come forward, this person is Dong Mingzhu.

Dong Mingzhu joined Gree in 1990, when she was 36 years old, starting from a business saleswoman, she developed a small factory with an annual output of less than 20,000 air conditioners into an industry-leading group with an operating income of more than 100 billion yuan, creating a legend of "Made in China". In 2012, the project "Research and Application of Key Technologies of Inverter Air Conditioning" led by her won the "National Science and Technology Progress Award". In 2014, UNDP awarded him the honor of "Ambassador for Urban Sustainable Development Projects" in recognition of his tireless efforts and contributions to improving energy efficiency and protecting the environment.

In 2015, when Dong Mingzhu was a deputy to the 12th National People's Congress, he proposed, "Let the world fall in love with Made in China." Since then, it has continued to make drums and shouts for China on many occasions. In the same year, he was rated as a "National Model Worker".

Guan Shanyue, Red Line Girl, Xian Dongmei, He Jingtang, Zhong Nanshan

On the road to rejuvenation, the industry elite inherits the spirit of labor models and builds a new era of merit

Labor models, models of laborers, are elites in all walks of life. Some members of the public saw in the labor model photo exhibition that the Lingnan school painter Guan Shanyue and a generation of Cantonese opera artists Hongxinnu also felt "fresh" when they wore the red ribbon of "labor model".

Guan Shanyue and the Red Line Woman are both national labor models in 1960 and have a long influence.

Guan Shanyue, formerly known as Guan Zepei, studied at the Guangzhou Municipal Normal School in his early years, studied painting diligently, and was appreciated by Gao Jianfu, the main founder of the Lingnan School, who recruited him to enter the Spring Sleep Painting Academy, became a disciple of Gao's family, and changed his name to Guan Shanyue.

In 1959, Guan Shanyue and Fu Baoshi co-created "So Many Delicacies in The Rivers and Mountains" for the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, which was inscribed by Mao Zedong himself, leaving a brilliant chapter in the history of Chinese art.

Red Line Girl, formerly known as Kwong JianLian, is a generation of masters of Cantonese opera art, and the red school art created by him is one of the most influential singing genres in the history of Chinese Cantonese opera, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad, and was praised by the state leaders at that time as "the red line woman of the working people".

In 1952, in the practice of performing "A Generation of Tianjiao", "Wang Zhaojun", adapting "Madame Butterfly" and Shakespeare's famous works, according to her own talent and voice conditions, on the basis of traditional Danjiao, she integrated the Art of Beijing Cavity, Kun cavity singing and Western bel canto techniques to create a "Red Chamber".

In the 1980s, in the face of the sluggish stage performance of Cantonese opera, in order to revitalize Cantonese opera, she rearranged the old drama and wrote a new drama. On the eve of the National Day in 1988, the Red Line Women led the Cantonese Opera Troupe to Beijing to hold the "Red Line Women's Special Session". In 1994, The Red Line Woman starred in "White Swallow Welcoming Spring" in Beijing, successfully shaping the artistic image of a surgeon Shen Jie.

In 2009, the Red Line Woman won the first "Chinese Drama Lifetime Achievement Award" and was also selected as "the 2009 Era Leader - The Most Influential Labor Model in the Sixty Years since the Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Guangdong workers also admire a sports "cattle man" - "mother-level" judo female general Xian Dongmei. She is also one of the model workers in this photo exhibition.

The time goes back to 2008. This year, China's reform and opening up has gone through three decades. This year, the Beijing Olympics ignited the hearts of the people of the whole country, and China topped the gold medal list with 51 gold medals, one of which was the Guangdong native woman Xian Dongmei.

As early as the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, 29-year-old Sin Dongmei won the gold medal in the 52 kg judo category. Because she easily reached the final and was almost invincible, the event itself did not impress the audience. In the final, relatives and friends from Zhaoqing Sihui's hometown stood in front of the TV set to cheer her up, but the whole process lasted only for a short period of 66 seconds.

In 2005, Sin Dongmei retired from the army and got married, and it was also in this year that she was named a "National Model Worker". In 2007, when her daughter was only 3 months old, Xian Dongmei was invited to compete again at the Beijing Olympic Games. At this time, she is already "32 years old", if there is no accident, it is indeed "the last battle of life". After reluctantly entrusting her daughter to her husband, Xian Dongmei threw herself into a long closed training, passed a series of auditions, and got tickets to participate in the Olympic Games.

At the Beijing Olympics, Sin Dongmei's final opponent was young and strong North Korean champion An Qin'ai. Xian Dongmei, who was physically weak, was soon breathless, did not dare to touch hard, she attacked with defense, fully controlled the rhythm, and in the remaining 2 minutes of time, took advantage of the other party's eagerness to win, seized a loophole, gave the ultimate blow, won 10 points, and won with difficulty. Xian Dongmei thus became the first "mother-level" champion in China's Olympic history, and was selected as a "Guangdong Figure Who Touched the 30th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up".

In the new era, the spirit of model labor, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen have become hot words in society, providing value guidance for building a new era of meritorious service and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As early as 2003, during the "SARS" ravages, Zhong Nanshan, then 66 years old, was the leader of the Guangdong Provincial Medical Rescue Expert Guidance Group for the prevention and treatment of SARS pneumonia, and was known as the "first person to fight SARS". At the beginning of 2020, when the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out in Wuhan, Zhong Nanshan, who was 83 years old at the time, once again took command of the battle, served as the leader of the high-level expert group of the National Health commission, took the lead in discussing the epidemic situation and how to fight the epidemic, gathered the national medical forces, studied the virus, developed testing reagents, studied the development and changes of the epidemic, studied scientific prevention and control, and studied treatment methods, making the battle against the epidemic tense and orderly, giving medical workers and patients a shot of strength, and also giving a sedative to the people of the whole country. Zhong Nanshan was awarded the "National Advanced Worker" in 1995 and 2005, and the "Order of the Republic" in 2020.
