Li Ying, from a peasant family in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, went to Shanghai at the age of 17 and joined the team of sanitation workers at the age of 24. I have been working in the public toilet industry for 16 years. Some people say that she does cleaning like she does scientific research. Now she is the supervisor of the third public toilet team of the Jinghuan Sanitation Branch of Shanghai Jing'an Urban Development (Group) Co., Ltd. In 2008, the company's public toilet team named after her was established, she became the team leader, and she created the "Li Ying Work Method" and public toilet nursery rhymes. The company also set up the "Li Ying Labor Model Studio".
On October 22, the Central Propaganda Department held a meeting of outstanding party members of the housing construction system on behalf of Chinese and foreign journalists on behalf of Chinese and foreign journalists on the "New Journey of Setting Sail for a Hundred Years and Showing new responsibilities for Housing Construction". Li Ying attended the meeting as one of the delegates.

Li Ying introduced to reporters a medicine box she brought, which is of great significance to herself, because it is a medicine box that she bought for the public toilet at her own expense when she first became a public toilet administrator. Today, the medicine box is in the collection of the Shanghai History Museum. Today's medicine box is a medicine box that is commonly used in public toilets in Shanghai after more than 10 years of updating and iteration, and it will contain some emergency medicines and sewing kits, maps, and women's supplies. "It still has the figure of my struggle and is a testimony to my work."
In the past 16 years, Li Ying has won many honors in many countries, and has also solved the Shanghai hukou, which should be said to be a well-known "new citizen" in Shanghai. In this regard, Li Ying said: "I have settled down in Shanghai, but from my heart, I am still very grateful that I live in such a good era as reform and opening up, come to a metropolis like Shanghai, and settle down in the position of sanitation." ”
There are also companies that have issued invitations to Li Ying and offered superior conditions, and Li Ying has been moved, but she still chooses to stick to the public toilet service post. Li Ying said that to be a person, you still have to know how to be grateful and cherished, and the work of sanitation has achieved herself, given her honor, and let her grow from a migrant girl who does not know how to survive to a front-line manager of sanitation who is recognized by others and respected by others. So now I have a grateful heart and cherish my job.
"I especially hope that through this kind of display of mine, everyone can see that everyone has the opportunity to shine in life, although our sanitation work is ordinary, as long as we are willing to work hard, with affection, and hard work, even ordinary posts can reflect the value of life, and even ordinary life can shine."
