The "Cloth Life" of Septuagenarian Non-Hereditary Inheritors
Not for money, just for inheritance
A small wooden table and a small wooden chair are Lu Liuzhu's work grounds. The stiff wire kept turning, and the layers of petals were wrapped from the inside to the outside, and in a short while, a lifelike silkworm flower was born in her hands.
Lu Liuzhu, 77 years old this year, is a native of Shishu Village, Shishu Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Zhejiang Province, "Shishu Silkworm Flower". Since the age of six or seven, she has learned the art of silkworm flowers with her great-grandmother, and for more than 70 years, her name has been closely "tied" with silkworm flowers.

In the past, silkworm farmers called wildflowers silkworms in order to seek good fortune. Later, in order to pray for a bumper harvest of silkworm mulberry production, sericulture farmers began to make silkworm flowers from their own cloth pieces, and placed the tied silkworm flowers in the jamsil room, symbolizing the harvest in the coming year.
"It takes a lot of patience to tie a silkworm flower, and a most ordinary small silkworm flower has many small details to pay attention to from the preparation of the material to the completion of the production." Talking about silkworm flower making skills, Lu Liuzhu is very particular. In order to make the petals more three-dimensional, she only uses traditional small cloth pieces in the selection of materials.
"Nowadays, fewer and fewer people use this old method to tie silkworm flowers, but the real silkworm farmers still like to use this old-fashioned silkworm flower." I now tie up as soon as I have time, not for money, only for inheritance, but also for the future generations to have the opportunity to understand traditional culture. Lu Liuzhu said.
The "Bridge Keeper" in the East China Sea
Rain or shine, guarding the sea route
In the vast East China Sea, the bridges across the sea are like changhong lying waves, and the figures of a group of people on the bridge appear small and special. For many years, in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, there is a group of "bridge keepers" who have guarded the safety of the Zhoushan Cross-Sea Bridge day and night regardless of rain, snow, wind and frost, just so that every car can cross the sea and reach every end point safely.
"Captain, JB18-L cable-stayed cable thorse ear plate connection at high strength bolts normal! The high-strength bolts at the JB18-R cable-stayed cable ear plate are also normal..." The inspection of tens of thousands of high-strength bolts on the steel box girder of the Jintang Bridge in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, has been carried out intensively for several days. Only to hear the voices of workers at various points on the bridge from the radio, maintenance worker Liu Zunliang quickly recorded the inspection results.

Among the Bridges group of Zhoushan Cross-Sea Bridge in Zhejiang Province, jintang Bridge is the one with the largest span on the sea, connecting zhoushan main island with the mainland, spanning between Zhoushan and Ningbo, turning the graben into a passageway.
As the "bridge keeper" of Zhejiang Jiaogong Maintenance Group, a subsidiary of Zhejiang Provincial Transportation Group, since taking over the baton from the builders in 2009, Liu Zunliang and his team members have been stationed here, taking the bridge as their home, for more than ten years.
Roughly estimated, he walked more than 20,000 kilometers back and forth on the bridge over more than a decade. "We are now guarding the bridge, we must be careful to do every job, not careless, to ensure that every car passes safely." Liu Zunliang said.
"Post-95" tea second generation
Let the tea fragrance of your hometown drift farther away
Ten years ago, the Wang po Ling Ecological Tea Farm, located on the west side of Minjin Village in Daodeqing County, 104, was still a small tea farm with no name. At that time, Ma Pinghua and his friends operated a leisure tea house outside, and after seeing the large consumption of tea, they went home and opened up 180 acres of mountainous tea.
However, after two years of operation, the benefits were not ideal, and Ma Pinghua transferred the tea farm to other villagers.

In 2017, Ma Pinghua's daughter Ma Qianyun graduated from university, and the girl born in 1995 decided to return to her hometown to start a business after passing market research. With the help of her father, she contracted 960 acres of barren mountains to cultivate tea. Over the past few years, after the careful cultivation and management of the father and daughter, the scale of Wang Poling Ecological Tea Farm has been squeezed into the forefront of Deqing peers, and has obtained significant social and economic benefits.
At present, she has also transformed into "net red live broadcast", and every tea picking season will live broadcast the whole process of tea picking and hype, so that more people can witness the value of "Mogan yellow bud". At the same time, she has also established an online product quality traceability system to make the whole process of product production transparent and contribute to expanding the reputation of "Mogan Yellow Bud".
"The older generation may only think about how to sell the tea, but I am bent on making the influence of the old brand 'Mogan Yellow Bud'." Ma Qianyun said.
Although we are engaged in different jobs
Maybe we don't know each other
But we all share a common goal
That is to realize the yearning for a better and happier life
We are born in a new era of grandeur
Every ordinary person is extraordinary because of his struggle
