On September 19, the second National Vocational Skills Competition (hereinafter referred to as the "National Competition") ended, and 393 players won gold, silver and bronze medals. The winners took center stage to receive their medals in the spotlight and receive cheers and congratulations from the audience.
The competition has a total of 109 projects, including 62 selected projects for the WorldSkills Competition (hereinafter referred to as the "World Competition") and 47 selected projects for the national competition.
The masonry competition is a World Championship selection event. Huang Ruiqiang, who just graduated from China Construction 5th Bureau Advanced Technical School (Changsha Construction School) majoring in construction engineering, won the gold medal in the masonry competition. The project attracted a total of 30 representatives from 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and the top 5 contestants from the competition entered the national training team, and then passed the 5-in-1 selection, and the winners will represent China in the 47th WorldSkills Competition to be held in Lyon, France next September.
The reporter of China Youth Daily learned that a number of players who have won awards in the WorldSkills Competition appeared at the competition site as chief referees, assistant referees, coaches, etc.
Docking with the standards of the World Championship and cultivating national players
Wu Yuanzhou, assistant referee of the World Masonry Competition, is the 2022 World Championship Special Masonry Champion, and he is now a teacher at China Construction 5th Bureau Advanced Technical School.
Wu Yuanzhou told the China Youth Daily reporter that this year's national competition is more difficult than the previous one, and the requirements for the comprehensive ability and literacy of the players are also higher. A shovel of ash, a brick, kneading again and again, the seemingly simple and boring masonry process are all the key points of scoring on the field.
The duration of the national competition is 15 and a half hours, and the contestants carry out a series of processes such as drawing, lofting, cutting, masonry, plastering, grouting, and cleaning according to the drawings. On the basis of the competition speed, it is necessary to fight precision, flatness, verticality, and horizontality, and the absolute accuracy of the work must be accurate to 1 mm, and each step must be interlocked to achieve "zero error".
"The judging criteria for masonry projects in the World Championships are accurate to the millimeter level, and the scoring standards for the national competitions are the same for the World Championships, which are very strict, and it is not easy to win the championship." Wu Yuanzhou said.
"If you want to learn, you must learn well, and if you want to do it, you must do it well." This is a phrase that Wu Yuanzhou often admonishes students, and it is also his secret to winning the championship. Although he has reached the top of the world's skills, Wu Yuanzhou does not dare to slack off in the slightest. "My mission now is to pass on this skill, grow together with the 'new generation' of masonry, and relay to cultivate more 'craftsmen of great powers'."
From world champion to national coach, Wu Yuanzhou's identity has changed, and although his face is still childish, the burden on his shoulders is heavier. He said: "In the past, as long as you had no distractions, you should do the 'work at hand', but now you have to bring apprentices. In addition to training, they should also pay attention to their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and pay attention to the psychological state of their apprentices at any time. ”
Cultivating national competitors in line with the standards of the World Championship and using "gold medals" to breed gold medals is one of the strategies of China Construction 5th Bureau Advanced Technical School to cultivate skilled talents. Lei Dingming, leader of the judging team of the 2nd National Masonry Project World Championship Selection Competition and senior engineer of China Construction 5th Bureau Advanced Technical School, introduced that for the training of skilled talents, the school has established a talent reserve echelon through layer-by-layer selection.
National player Huang Ruiqiang practiced from scratch and finally entered the "cultivation pool" of seeded players after three or four rounds of selection. Once, Wu Yuanzhou saw that Huang Ruiqiang showed signs of slack during training, so he took him to Lei Dingming's skill master studio, pointed to a cabinet full of medals, and told him the story behind the award one by one. "Do you want to put your medal here one day?" Wu Yuanzhou's allocation and good intentions made Huang Ruiqiang firm in his dream of serving the country with skills and began to work hard.
"Finally fulfilled the gold medal dream!" Coming down from the podium of the closing ceremony, touching the gold medal on his chest, Huang Ruiqiang's eyes were full of tears.
The skill success of the world champion drives professional enrollment from cold to hot
The welding project of this national competition is also a selection project of the world competition, and Hu Zehong from Panzhihua Technician College in Sichuan won the gold medal in this project. Panzhihua Technician College is undoubtedly the "cradle of champions" for the welding project of the World Championship.
In the eyes of ordinary people, welding is relatively difficult, but it has a wide range of applications and very high requirements for skills. Driven by the World Championship and the National Championship, welder has also become a profession loved by some young people.
Zeng Zhengchao, the gold medalist of the 43rd World Championship welding project, is currently the youngest chief technician of China 19th Metallurgical Group. On the World Championship stage, he used his skillful skills to make welding components become works of art, and at the welding construction site, he used a pair of skillful hands to make each weld dense and reliable, and let the light of skill shine in the welding flower.
Interestingly, the gold medalists of the 44th and 45th World Championships welding project, Ning Xianhai and Zhao Pingping, are ordinary young people from the depths of the mountains of Sichuan Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and like Zeng Zhengchao, they both graduated from Panzhihua Technician College, and they are all examples of skills that become talents and change their lives.
Winning the gold medal in the World Championships on behalf of China for three consecutive times, Panzhihua Technician College has also become a popular major that used to be cold when recruiting students. Zhou Shuchun, senior welder technician of China Nineteenth Metallurgical Group Co., Ltd., teacher of Panzhihua Technician College and coach of the national team of welding project, said: "Now the number of students enrolled in welding at the college has more than doubled! In previous years, two or three classes were recruited, but now they are five or six classes, which is the effect of the world championship. ”
According to Liu Jingfeng, the chief judge of the welding competition of the World Championship selection project, welding technology is known as "industrial tailor", and it is also a hard job. The inspirational story of the world champion's skills has inspired young students' dreams of serving the country with skills, and encouraged more young people to learn skills, love skills, and take the road of becoming talents.
"Metal materials are divided into two categories: ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, so the welding technology is also different. From aerospace production, to aircraft carrier manufacturing, as well as the construction of nuclear power plants, high-speed railways, bridges, and high-rise buildings, welding is inseparable. Liu Jingfeng introduced that the welding project of the second national competition is mainly based on arc welding. Welding is a special operation process, not only requires beautiful external molding, but also very high internal quality requirements, welder's skill is the most important factor to determine welding quality.
In Liu Jingfeng's eyes, a best welder must have a sense of awe for the profession he is engaged in, and he must want to do it well from the bottom of his heart. "The WorldSkills Competition, which is held every two years, is a very big opportunity for young skilled talents around the world to exchange skills and demonstrate their skills. Similarly, our national competition is also a national gathering of young skilled talents. Since ancient heroes came out of youth, these young people gathered together, and the power of youth that burst out is very exciting. ”
