Night reading | love what you love, no questions asked

The "sassy" wind blown by the 17-year-old "auto repair girl" Gu Huijing has not stopped, and two young people have aroused heated discussions: "courier brother" Song Xuewen and post-95 "wall builder" Zou Bin.

Song Xuewen, who has been a courier for nearly 10 years, participated in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China as an outstanding communist party member and a national labor model. He said that he should work "with faith in his heart and strength under his feet" and exert his value to the extreme in the most ordinary positions.

Zou Bin is also an "old celebrity": after graduating from junior high school at the age of 16, he followed his father to become a mason, won the 43rd WorldSkills Competition Winner Award at the age of 19, the first in China to win awards in masonry projects, and became the youngest npc deputy in Hunan Province at the age of 23; he was awarded the National Model Worker, the National Technical Expert, and the National Outstanding Migrant Worker. Recently, he appeared in the CCTV feature film "Dare to Teach the Sun and Moon for a New Day".

Their commonalities are obvious: they are all young; the professions they read and the occupations they are engaged in belong to the labor skill type, the posts are ordinary, and they lack the label of "glamorous"; however, they have achieved dazzling results.

However, what impressed me even more was their mature and down-to-earth mentality.

Before going to vocational school, Gu Huijing was faced with the choice of reading general high school or vocational high school, reading a major that is "suitable for girls" or reading auto repair; when entering the masonry and courier brother, Zou Bin and Song Xuewen may also be worried about the future. But they bravely chose what they loved, and worked hard for the choice in a down-to-earth manner, until they ushered in hope and realized value in the bland persistence. There is a chicken soup saying that "it is not because there is hope that there is hope, but because there is hope because of persistence", and they have done what many people can't do.

After becoming famous, someone asked Zou Bin, "Are you still willing to be a migrant worker now that you are red?" He replied, "I have always been a migrant worker, it turns out that I am just a migrant worker that no one knows, working to make my family's life better, because I have won some honors, I have a little 'fame' in the circle, but I hope to tell more people about my experience, as long as I am willing to work hard, success is not difficult." "—How sober.

Adversity is not self-effacing, and favorable circumstances are not conceited, so that they have a rational love for their profession and profession, and a more transparent understanding of life. "Vocational school students are all messing around, girls can't learn auto repair, these are stereotypes." "I'm in charge of my life, so let others say the rest." "Education is not necessarily the only way to succeed, laziness is certainly a hard wound to happiness"... These simple words are no less weight than some celebrity golden sentences.

We praise Song Xuewen, Gu Huijing, and Zou Bin, not to let everyone go to vocational schools, to be technical workers, to be couriers, but to reverse long-standing stereotypes, break prejudices, so that people who aspire to this can easily choose what they love, and cultivate a better social environment for their learning and career development.

From Gu Huijing, who is still in school, to Zou Bin and Song Xuewen, who have worked for many years, I have seen a change: more and more young people take the initiative to break the shackles of traditional concepts, choose to become skilled workers, and through vocational education, accumulate strength for future career paths early. Skilled workers are no longer the second choice of a few people, but a stage worth fighting for and can shine.

As Zou Bin said, "Thanks to this era of advocating the spirit of craftsmanship, this is indeed an era when deeds can be brilliant." ”

In recent years, from the party and the state proposing to improve the vocational education and training system and cultivate high-quality laborers and technical skills; to promoting conceptual innovation with legal renewal, clearly proposing that "vocational education and general education have the same important status"; and then to the endless emergence of vocational skills competitions at various levels, China's players have repeatedly participated in the World Skills Competition and won good results... Young people embrace the times with vision and courage, and the times respond with continuous positive responses, so that more front-line workers can shine.

Love what you love, no questions asked. As long as you are based on your own duties and dedicate yourself silently, ordinary posts will also make extraordinary achievements.
