2023 is about to pass, this year, we have witnessed the hard work and running of many people through the Internet, and in the face of difficulties and challenges, they have always maintained confidence and enthusiasm, giving us great encouragement and motivation. This year, everyone's hard life and growth have given us the courage and strength to move forward. The wind passes through the pass, and only the runner can take advantage of the momentum. In this year full of changes and challenges, we are all runners, and we are all walking towards our dreams.
Xinhua Interview, a key column of Xinhuanet, launched a special plan "Strong Confidence Runner" at the end of 2023, taking you to meet several "runners" in different industries and see their voices and wonderful stories in this year's running.
Today, we meet the "runner" - Qu Xiaohua, the founder of Canadian Solar.
The photovoltaic industry has become one of the "new three" of mainland foreign trade
The first ten months of 2023
The total export value of photovoltaic products in the mainland reached 42.99 billion US dollars
The export of photovoltaic products has become a shining "new business card" of China's foreign trade
As a member of the photovoltaic industry "veteran"
Qu Xiaohua has been deeply involved in this area for decades
1986
Qu Xiaohua graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University
Choose to study overseas
"At that time, the scale of photovoltaic power generation was very small
The technology is also not very mature
But photovoltaics are a promising energy source for the future
If you want to do photovoltaic manufacturing
China must be the best place."
2001
Qu Xiaohua decided to return to China to start a business
Determined to bring photovoltaic technology back to China
With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry
Opportunities and risks test Qu Xiaohua's decision-making
When the price of core raw materials for photovoltaic panels is high
Many people have chosen "silicon is king"
And Qu Xiaohua chose a different path
I also gained a lot of strange eyes
He confessed
"It's not so much about going down someone else's path
Let yourself have no way out
I might as well go my own way and let others do what they say.
So I took a different approach
Go international
At the same time go downstream
I want to prove that I was right to take this path."
Just when Qu Xiaohua was running hard in the photovoltaic field
A sudden change
Become a mountain across his path of chasing light
2019
Qu Xiaohua was accidentally injured during an inspection of a desert photovoltaic power station in Ningxia
Caused high paraplegia
He said
"I have been away from the company for 8 months
Sometimes I wake up from a dream at night
There will also be moments of tears."
After a short recuperation
Qu Xiaohua wears a rehabilitation robot
Appeared in front of people again
"Iron Man" also became
A new "symbol" on Qu Xiaohua's body
He said
"Hopefully it can inspire people who have physical limitations
Approach life with a positive attitude"
Qu Xiaohua is on his own path of chasing light
What I never gave up on was my confidence as a runner
He said
"As a runner
Since you have a dream, don't be afraid
When the wind passes through the pass
There are often headwinds
But the wind rushes through the pass and looks ahead
When it suddenly dawned
You will find that the heavens and the earth are so vast
The scenery is so beautiful."
