The Oxford Dictionary includes a lot of "Chinese English", such as Add oil, Char siu and, of course, "The Speed Of China", which shocked the world.
Since the reform and opening up, China's high-speed rail and road construction have ranked first in the world. The miracle of the speed of China's infrastructure has amazed the world, and the rapid development of the economy and infrastructure is inseparable from the contribution of the front-line "infrastructure maniacs" in the engineering and manufacturing industry. There was once a passage describing reality, and a foreign friend asked in boredom: "You start building the bridge today, when will it be completed?"? "Tomorrow"! This is the answer given by Chinese speed. And the actual situation is like this: the overall beam replacement project of the Sanyuan Bridge in Beijing, the builder spent 43 hours to make a bridge from scratch, and after reconstruction, the traffic was restored immediately.
Even if this group of doers work hard, as long as they hear the phrase "hard, eat first" and sit down at the table, they can wash away their tiredness and dust. Recently, Tencent News's food documentary program "Hard Work, Eat First" will focus on ordinary infrastructure builders who have laid a solid foundation for China's development and also worked hard for their own small families. Learn more about their daily work, invite cross-border sports guests to prepare a surprise dinner, and share each other's bitter and bitter struggle experiences and life moments with the doers.
The protagonists of today's story are Song Yuchuan, a doer who is struggling for China's rapid development in ordinary jobs, and Jeremy Lin, a basketball superstar we pursue on the big screen. Listen to their stories and watch them exchange pride as they eat their favorite food, and you'll know that food will put them at ease under the pressure of a mountain.
I can't just put in 80 percent of my efforts, I have to do my best to do it
"Food will help me reduce stress". Facing the camera, Jeremy Lin said it very bluntly.
In the NBA playoffs of the 13-14 season, Jeremy Lin made a major mistake in the final stages of the game, resulting in the team's defeat. After the game, he was met with great public opinion. What helped him out of the predicament was the belief of "hard work to achieve dreams", the patience and relief of his family, and then, growing up in setbacks.
Now back in the CBA, Jeremy Lin still has a lot to overcome. After eleven weeks of COVID-19 isolation, missing the first stage of the CBA, Jeremy Lin's every move after recovery has attracted much attention, and for him, the return after four months has to overcome greater physical and mental challenges to find his state.
All this is not easy. "It's been a difficult year for me, but I also know that everyone will have different challenges."
In the face of everything being disrupted and starting over, Jeremy Lin can always persuade himself to face it optimistically. Whenever he encounters these things, food will always help him reduce stress, and he is more willing to pass on the encouragement brought by food to more people. In this episode, Jeremy Lin decided to invite Song Yuchuan, an excavator driver who also worked hard, to dinner.
Song Yuchuan, a 36-year-old excavator driver, was born in rural Heze, Shandong Province. At the age of 18, he left his hometown with his cousin to drive an excavator in a coal yard in Xinjiang, which was his hardest and fastest growing years. Excavator in the mine is a more expensive, dangerous machine, rental time, fuel consumption makes the cost of learning excavator becomes incomparably high, as a novice in the industry he has almost no opportunity to practice, can only sit in the back of the driver's seat every day to observe and ponder, and then secretly climb into the car to practice in the middle of the night. When he was young, Song Yuchuan's technology was immature, and he was driven away by the boss of the project many times, and Song Yuchuan said that he could not pay so much money, as long as he could contact machine learning technology.
Today, Song Yuchuan already has his dream, his own Caterpillar excavator, and he is already a skilled professional excavator driver. He has been involved in the infrastructure construction of Beijing Daxing Airport, several subway lines, Zhangjiawan Wetland Park, Universal Studios and other public facilities and landmark buildings. Fangshan, Daxing, Chaoyang, Haidian, Tongzhou... He has left his footprints in every corner of Beijing.
Jeremy Lin, who once left regrets on the NBA court, also said that he had come out of the pressure of once daring to go out alone, and since that was the case, he would try to reach his ceiling.
Delicious healing doers: shallot oil cake and a Shandong lamb soup
For Jeremy Lin, no amount of food outside is better than the "shallot oil cake" that he used to make with his mother when he was a child. Working alone outside, when you miss home, you will immediately think of this delicacy. Even if he works hard for his dreams and stays away from his family, every time he makes his own shallot oil cake, he will be inspired.
For Song Yuchuan, a Native of Shandong, scooping a spoonful of soup, adding lamb slices, sprinkling pepper, and steaming lamb soup can soothe the physical and mental fatigue of the day. Song Yuchuan said that his cooking skills were not good, and he had never made a fire in Beijing, either following the construction site dormitory to eat a unified cauldron of rice, or looking for a restaurant. The cooking skills of his wife in his hometown are good, and Song Yuchuan is very proud to say that the sheep soup made by his wife is not worse than the one in the store.
Family is the greatest encouragement
Knowing that Song Yuchuan has been away from home for many years, Jeremy Lin sent a surprise from his family at dinner. Looking at the surprise video recorded by his family, looking at his thoughtful wife and sensible children, Song Yuchuan, who has been smiling, shed tears.
Even if there are regrets, Song Yuchuan never regrets it, because he does the work he loves, has 2 excavators and 2 small engineering equipment vehicles, and exceeds the dream of his youth. He also made his family live a better life step by step through his own struggles, so even if he worked hard, he never felt difficult, even if he occasionally felt lonely, he felt full of strength when he thought of his family.
As an ordinary member of many doers, Song Yuchuan's story is closer to our reality and shines into Jeremy Lin's heart. Two doers in different fields, so they talk to each other, soft and warm.
We who have been struggling, listen to Jeremy Lin's, "Hard work, eat first"!
