"Labor is the creator of all value". On the occasion of the 134th "May Day" International Labor Day, let us shine the spotlight on "labor". Although the fields of struggle of the laborers are different, their contribution to society is very consistent, some of them "cultivate" in the fields, some "sail" in the ocean, some "sharpen" on the lathes, they make the city streets "cleaner", they "heal" the sick. The fruits of labor are "sweet", the prospects of labor are "bright", they are "formed" because of their labor, and they are known as "masters" because of their skills, and they set up benchmarks and become models for their industries. Accordingly, the reporter of this newspaper specially selected 10 keywords, interviewed the stories of workers in 10 industries related to these words, explained the labor meaning of these keywords, highlighted their labor value, and paid tribute to the ordinary and great workers in all walks of life.
New Farmers: No hard work, no harvest

On the afternoon of April 23, the pomelo planting base of 1,000 acres in Shuiyang Village, Shuikou Town, Xingning City, Meizhou, was lush and gratifying. Liu Qin is using an instrument to measure and count the leaf and soil parameters of the pomelo tree. "People who do agriculture can't be lazy!" she told reporters.
Liu Qin is the assistant manager of Meizhou Guancheng Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd., and the winner of the 2023 Guangdong May Day Labor Medal, "National Women's New Farmer", and "Guangdong Rural Native Expert".
In 2010, Liu Qin returned to her hometown with her husband to grow pomelo and established an "agricultural company". However, their families were against them taking the path of agriculture. However, the husband and wife, who graduated from Meizhou Agricultural School together, believe that as long as they love agriculture, take agriculture as their ideal career, and rely on professional and technical advantages, they will be able to grow good pomelo.
So, the couple sold their two houses, invested all their savings for many years as start-up capital, transferred land in Shuiyang Village, Shuikou Town, Xingning City, and planted the first batch of more than 400 pomelo trees, but due to poor management, they suffered from huanglongbing, so they had to dig up all of them and replant them. After nearly 5 years of hard work, from seedling breeding, reasonable fertilization to scientific management in the later stage, and timely harvesting, Liu Qin gradually explored a set of standardized processes, and implemented the "five unified" production standards of "unified varieties, unified technology, unified production, unified management, and unified sales" for pomelo fruits, and comprehensively improved the production and management level of orchards through the implementation of improved varieties and good methods, the application of organic fertilizer aerobic fermentation with integrated automatic fertilization of water and fertilizer, water-saving irrigation, and comprehensive green prevention and control of diseases and pests.
Now, Liu Qin has registered her own brand - "Qinhuai Pomelo", and her harvest can be called "fruitful".
In order to improve the quality of pomelo, Liu Qin's team successfully conquered the organic water and fertilizer aerobic fermentation technology in one and a half years, improved the planting environment, and increased the sweetness of pomelo. In April 2023, Liu Qin excavated two 120 cubic meters of organic water and fertilizer aerobic fermentation ponds in the planting base, using raw materials such as peanut bran, brown sugar, and strains to ferment according to a certain ratio. "All of a sudden, the yield of pomelo has increased by 20%!" Liu Qin said proudly.
Today, the 1,150 acres of "Qinhuai Pomelo" base, as the first batch of modern pomelo industry communities in Shuiyang Village, has helped farmers plant and manage more than 13,000 acres of Meizhou pomelo, and the demonstration has driven 1,752 farmers to increase their income. In the practice of planting pomelo for more than 10 years, Liu Qin has combined professional knowledge with on-site reality to cultivate pomelo fruit into the leading industry of Shuiyang Village.
Liu Qin said: "Let agriculture become a promising industry, and make farmers an attractive profession" is her goal to return to her hometown to start a business. Now, Liu Qin and the farmers are very busy, but the busier they are, the more they can reflect the value of labor. "Helping farmers to increase production and income and find employment at their doorstep is a great sense of accomplishment and gain, which is a career worth pursuing all their lives. ”
Concept of labor
Cultivation and cultivation originally referred to the two basic links of agricultural production——— cultivating land and weeding. The combination of the two words refers to all agricultural labor, and further refers to all hard work, or praises the industrious quality of laborers. The simple proverb of "no pain, no gain" encourages us to be a good worker, and it is also the expectation that we will get something from our work. From Liu Qin, a "new farmer", we can see that hard work is rewarded, not only by hard work, but also by technology; of course, she also has a feeling of "helping at the same time", which makes her gain more.
Sugar workers: The process is arduous and the results are sweet

In late April, at the sugarcane mechanization base of Guangdong Guangqian Sugar Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangqian Sugar"), which is directly under the Guangdong Agricultural Reclamation Group, located in Suixi, Zhanjiang, the reporter met the swarthy and sturdy Xie Peiliang. Half a month ago, he and his wife worked together to plant sugarcane seedlings in this way, and now they are growing happily, the air is filled with sweet smells, and the farmer's face is full of joy when he touches the tender green leaves.
Eleven years ago, Xie Peiliang and his wife became family farm workers at Guangqian Sugar in Guangdong Province, where they were mainly responsible for the company's sugarcane cultivation. Agriculture is hard work, and every year at the turn of spring and summer, when it rains, a wave of borers and thrips attack and gnaw, causing the sugarcane harvest to fail. When it comes to harvesting season, the skin is cut by the sharp leaves of the sugarcane forest.
Seeing the suffering of employees, Guangqian Sugar has been thinking about how to empower science and technology to help improve the efficiency of sugarcane production. Li Haizhong, a cadre in charge of sugarcane management, introduced that in view of the prevention and control of pests and diseases, the company introduced red-eyed bees through biological control, which laid eggs in the eggs of borers and other pests, so that the eggs could not hatch normally, so as to achieve the control effect. Not only that, the company also introduces mechanized operation methods in the sugarcane harvesting season from December to March of the following year to achieve a machine-harvested area of 6.5 tons per mu. Li Haizhong calculated an account to reporters: "Compared with the original four months of harvesting time for two people, now two machines can complete the harvest within one month." ”
Today, the 60 acres of "sugarcane forest" contracted by Xie Peiliang and his wife every year can bring 60,000 yuan of income to the family. "A year's work is harder and sweeter, and you can also take care of the elderly and children nearby. Xie Peiliang said.
The sugarcane planted and harvested by Xie Peiliang will be transported to the Guangfeng Branch of Guangdong Guangken Sugar Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangfeng Sugar Factory") to usher in its sweet transformation.
In the new crushing season of 2023/2024, Guangfeng Sugar Factory collected and transported 460,000 tons of sugarcane, a figure that can rank among the top three among several sugar factories in the group, which makes Mo Bingsen, deputy director of the crushing workshop, particularly happy. In 1997, Mo Bingsen, who graduated from the Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Technical School, was assigned to the sugar factory as a technician, responsible for the maintenance of pre-cutting machines, tearing machines, iron suctions, presses, and presses in the workshop. Since only nearly 4 months of the year are suitable for sugar production, the machine and the workers in three shifts need to work quickly, which can easily cause overload and wear on the machine.
In February this year, the gearbox of the production machine was stopped due to bearing damage, and in order to ensure the freshness of the sugarcane raw materials, Mo Bingsen and his colleagues began to repair it before they even had lunch. In the cold and biting workshop, the workers relayed each other and finally spent 12 hours to complete the emergency repair.
After crushing and pressing, the sugarcane becomes mixed cane juice, which is then concentrated and crystallized in the refining workshop to obtain the common white sugar in thousands of households. Sugarcane juice has to be evaporated and crystallized at high temperatures, which means that the operating temperatures in the refinery are very high. Despite this, Zhong Changwen, the head of the refining workshop who led the team to fight here all the year round, still loves this "sweet career" very much.
At that time, Zhong Changwen's father came to "Nongken" to plant sugarcane after he was discharged from the army, and his sister also worked as a financial worker in "Nongken", and in 1996, he also came to Guangfeng Sugar Factory. "My family is all working as a sugar planter, which makes me feel very attached to this business. Zhong Changwen said. In the 2023/2024 crushing season, the sugar factory finally made 40,000 tons of white granulated sugar and flowed to the market. ”
Concept of labor
Sweetness is a subjective experience of happiness, gain, and security, and if this experience comes from labor, because there is a process of "hard" payment and "hard" struggle, it is more obvious and the most precious. The sweetness of the laborer comes from the labor. Sucrose production is a kind of labor that interprets the essence of "sweetness". From planting cane to squeezing sugar, the process is hard, but what you get is sweetness.
Power Supply: Wearing the Stars and Wearing the Moon, the heart is bright
Zhang Huan carefully inspected the transformation of overdue service in front of the terminal box. All-media reporter Lin Jingyu/photo
On the morning of April 21, dark clouds, dark sky, and rain, Zhang Huan, the person in charge of automation maintenance of the second substation management institute of Foshan Power Supply Bureau, put on blue overalls, carried a tool kit, put on a red hard hat, and walked quickly to the high-voltage field in the 220 thousand volt Daliang substation, and carefully checked the overdue service transformation in front of the terminal box.
Zhang Huan is on standby around the clock, and as long as the on-site operation personnel encounter a situation that cannot be handled, she will be notified as the technical leader as soon as possible.
"Urgent tasks can sometimes be in the dark of night, are you driving alone, are you afraid?" the reporter asked.
"Don't be afraid! My mind is full of thinking about what the abnormal signal is, how to solve it quickly, and let the citizens use electricity as soon as possible. Zhang Huan replied.
"I can't open an umbrella here, and after checking the terminal box, I have to hurry up and troubleshoot other problems. Under the criss-crossing power grid, Zhang Huan's figure is slightly thin. Every week, she has to inspect three or five substations, and from time to time she has to carry more than 20 pounds of test equipment to climb the three-meter-high main transformer for testing.
"She looks weak, but she is never afraid of heavy work and tiring work. Where there is a need, she must come forward. Hu Changguo, who has been with Zhang Huan in the successor class for many years, said.
In 2017, the Xiyue Station of the first 220 kV intelligent substation of Foshan Power Supply Bureau was accepted, and Zhang Huan took the initiative to ask for help and acted as a "pioneer" in the acceptance of digital protection equipment for intelligent substations. In 2019, in just one month, she and her colleagues completed the secondary equipment acceptance of the whole station of the 500 kV Fengcheng Station, helping the project win the Luban Prize. She also organized the implementation of technical transformation projects such as 500 kV Shunde Station, 220 kV Daliang Station, Duning Station, and Shilong Station to help the smooth implementation of overdue service transformation. Lin Haoqin, the old squad leader, was deeply impressed: "Zhang Huan always likes to 'find faults' when the equipment is accepted, and never allows the equipment to enter the network with illness. ”
When Typhoon "Mangkhut" hit, Zhang Huan led the team to stay up all night to carry out professional training for 10 substations. Liu Yueping, head of the Xiyue Transportation Inspection Center, recalled: "Tie wires, tape, clear obstacles, reinforce over and over again, check again and again, and deal with one equipment hidden danger after another. Zhang Huan was also impressed: "It was the weekend, and the substation canteen could not be supplied normally, so I brought some noodles, eggs, and tomatoes from home, put on a raincoat and rain boots, and went to the Tengsha substation, and waited until the typhoon warning was lifted." ”
After graduating from Northeast Electric Power University in 2011, Zhang Huan has always been rooted in the front line of power production from the junior operator of Jibao, to the squad leader, deputy station manager, and then to the special responsibility, and has always been rooted in the front line of power production.
There are few women engaged in relay protection, and Zhang Huan is not bad at all professionally. Last year, she won the first place in the Guangdong Provincial Power Industry Relay Protector Vocational Skills Competition and was awarded the "Guangdong Provincial Technical Expert".
When the professional integration of "operation, relay and inspection" was fully implemented, Zhang Huan took the initiative to learn automation knowledge, and not only obtained the qualification of senior technician of relay protection engineer, but also obtained the qualification of professional technician of automation. Subsequently, he bravely shouldered the heavy burden again, and was adjusted from the relay team to the operation inspection center as the technical leader. "There is a consensus among workers in the power industry, that is, power transmission must not be delayed, and every effort must be made to eliminate defects and avoid power outages. On the road of guarding the light, Zhang Huan has always tried his best to protect the light and serve the people.
Concept of labor
From torches and candles to oil lamps, from animal oil, vegetable oil to kerosene, fire became a very important lighting tool in ancient societies. Until the 19th century, incandescent lamps were introduced, and mankind entered the era of electric lighting, and the energy consumption was lower and more environmentally friendly, and the development of all walks of life also entered the fast lane. Zhang Huan's silent dedication ensures a steady stream of power supply, and although he often walks in the dark night, he brings light to the people. "Let there be light, and there will be light. "All labor brings light to human beings.
Mold master: excellence casting model

In 2023, Zhang Gengqin won the "National May Day Labor Medal" and became a "model worker". He doesn't seem to be busy one day, recently the company received a new order, he has to stay in the laboratory to develop the mold, the last order of the mold design is completed, he has to focus on the mold programming, arrange production.
Zhang Gengqin is a senior manager of the R&D department of Xingke Electronics (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xingke Electronics"). Over the past 20 years, he has been dealing with molds, with 99 utility model patents in his name, and the annual output value of R&D molds is nearly 1 billion yuan, winning a large number of international customers for the company. He has also been rated as a "Famous City Craftsman" and "Chief Technician" in Dongguan.
"My understanding of the spirit of model workers is to stay at the post in a down-to-earth manner, no matter how difficult it is, you must do it slowly, you can't bargain, you can't be clever, you must keep improving, and you must complete it meticulously. Zhang Gengqin said plainly.
Zhang Gengqin graduated from Xiamen University with a major in business administration, and when he joined Xingke Electronics in 2005, he was still a layman in mold manufacturing. At that time, the production equipment of his department was imported from outside, and the mold technology did not have its own intellectual property rights, which could not meet the needs of customers. In 2008, Xingke Electronics set up a mold department, and he served as the person in charge. "I taught myself the technology of mold making, and I also recruited professional and technical personnel in the market, and followed them to learn to make small tooling fixtures. He started as an apprentice and knew the whole process of the production line, most of them took 3 years to complete, but he only took half a year, "The hardest time, I couldn't eat for a week, and I dreamed of making molds." ”
"Enterprises must independently develop in order to ensure customer product quality, improve production efficiency and save operating costs to the greatest extent. In order to study how the grinding deformation of a precision grinding machine with a thickness of 1 cm (10 cm long and 5 cm wide) of stainless steel does not exceed 1 micron, he and the front-line technical team leader tested overnight, and finally developed a special emery wheel suitable for grinding and a cooling slurry with cooling cutting, so that the product can reach the standard of almost zero tolerance.
In the Xingke electronics production workshop, the reporter saw that rows of automatic punching machines cut parts, and the products spit out by the machine were burr-free and had a smooth surface. "Previously, the workshop required a large number of female workers to trim the burrs, but now only a few operators are needed for the entire workshop. He picked up a finished product and introduced that this is a cutting mold designed and manufactured by the team in 2010 and a plastic keycap cutting and sorting machine with the mold, which can be automatically cut, one-click molding, and do not need to manually repair the keycaps. This invention has obtained a national utility patent, saving more than 200,000 yuan in labor costs for the company every month.
"I mainly focus on R&D, and the technology of making molds may not be as good as the team's masters. Zhang Gengqin said very "self-aware".
Technology must be inherited, and the ability to innovate must be shared by more people. In 2018, the "Zhang Gengqin Craftsman Talent Innovation Studio" was established, and the studio has been rated as "Guangdong Province Model Worker and Craftsman Talent Innovation Studio" and "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Model Worker and Craftsman Talent Innovation Studio Alliance Member Unit". In 2019, he founded the "Mold Center Technical Training Course" and hired professors from colleges and universities majoring in "Mold Advanced Manufacturing and Processing" to conduct theoretical and practical training for the team. The mold center led by him has trained more than 800 technicians and obtained nearly 200 patents.
Grinder Xu Yulin is the team's "one-micron master" and can make molds with zero work. After 16 years in the company, he stood at the same station to work, and the foot board actually lowered the floor tiles by two centimeters.
Zhang Gengqin is indifferent to fame and fortune, although he has won many patents and honors, he is still working diligently in the "mold center". Today, he is leading the team to combine automation and informatization and other intelligent manufacturing, and devote himself to the research and development of new materials.
Concept of labor
The original meaning of "model" was a model for making a certain object, and earlier it originated from the "inner model" and "outer model" necessary for the manufacture of bronze objects. The mold industry in the modern manufacturing industry also reflects the original meaning of "model". Since the Han Dynasty, the word "model" has been used as a metaphor for people with the meaning of "role model" and "exemplary", and "model worker" (referred to as "model worker") is a new extension of "model". "Model worker" is the most beautiful person of our time, and "model worker spirit" is the most noble spirit of our time.
Tool developer: day and night to forge the vanguard

Precision tools, known as the "teeth of industry", seem to have nothing to do with the daily life of the public, but in fact, whether it is in 3C electronic products such as smart phones, or high-speed rail cars that must be relied on for travel, or as an important tool of the country's aerospace and military industry, precision tools are indispensable and important tools. "However, in the process of creating precision tools, many fields are subject to foreign countries, and if we do not advance in R&D technology, we are prone to the risk of 'stuck neck'. On April 23, at the work site of Guangdong Dingtai High-tech Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dingtai Company") located in Houjie, Dongguan, Chen Lijun told reporters.
Chen Lijun, who has been engaged in the research and development of precision tools for more than 20 years, currently serves as the manager of the company's technical department. According to customer needs, tool development and design, selection of appropriate grinding process to create tools, performance simulation test of finished products, basic research and theoretical exploration in related fields...... This is Chen Lijun's daily work.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Back in 2017, Dingtai received a difficult R&D task to develop a precision tool for a well-known mobile phone brand that could meet specific needs. "At that time, there were no cases to refer to in the industry, which was a huge challenge for us. Chen Lijun said that there was no time to hesitate, he and his team immediately put into the research and development work, after half a year of repeated research and design, cutting and grinding, test adjustment, and finally overcome the test conditions, raw material performance differences and other problems, and successfully developed a precision tool that meets the needs of customers, that is, "unequal strength milling cutter". "In that half a year, the only thought was to quickly design the tool, and basically worked overtime every day, so I almost moved the bed to the site. Recalling that time, Chen Lijun was full of emotion.
Lu Wengen is the team's right-hand man and participated in the whole R&D work, "Although Manager Chen is older than us, his focus and energy in the R&D process are incomparable to ours, which I admire very much." In addition, he will be very patient to provide us with direction and guidance when encountering problems, so that everyone can avoid many detours, and he is a good mentor on my growth road. ”
"In the past, a tool used by customers can support the processing of about 80 products, but our 'unequal power milling cutter', a knife can process more than 300 products, the service life of the tool has been increased by 4 times, and the cost of the tool has been reduced by 70%, which truly reduces costs and increases efficiency for customers. Chen Lijun said that the tool not only meets the needs of customers, but also has been widely recognized by the industry.
Since his career, Chen Lijun has witnessed the development and changes of the precision tool industry from simple traditional craftsmanship to intelligent manufacturing. In his view, R&D work is a process of "drilling the horns", and it must be "sharpened" non-stop. Tempering is not only a kind of technical improvement, but also a spiritual pursuit. While sharpening the knives, he also sharpened himself and achieved his own brilliant life.
Over the years, Manager Chen has worked silently in the research and development of tools, made great contributions to the overall improvement of the company's technology, and also cultivated a group of technical talents. Xiong Liehua, marketing director of Dingtai Company, said.
At present, the company's products are mainly used in the field of 3C electronic products. Our next R&D direction will gradually move towards more high-end fields such as aerospace, automotive, and military industry, keep up with well-known brands in the global industry, and strive to create more high-quality products. Looking forward to the future, Chen Lijun is full of confidence.
Concept of labor
From ancient times to the present, "sharpening" is a kind of labor skill related to blades and knives. The precision tool industry in modern industry has higher requirements for the accuracy and sharpness of the tool, and the R&D personnel need to use exquisite skills and patience to manufacture products that meet the requirements through repeated sharpening and adjustment. Now, we have a large and enterprising contingent of industrial workers who have developed first-class skills for the prosperity of the country and are constantly making themselves stronger and better.
Voyager: The Grand Narrative Sail Away
In Antarctica, Zhou Renxiao drove a rubber boat to the construction site. Liu Fanqi/photo
......The whistle sounded, and the giant ship set sail. The cargo hold under the deck of the giant ship is full of cargo, and "Made in China" shows the grace between the round-trips.
"Every time at this moment, a strong sense of accomplishment and pride arises. On April 16, at the headquarters of COSCO SHIPPING Special Transportation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "COSCO SHIPPING Special Transportation"), Zhou Renxiao, captain of the Freight Technology Department, said in an interview with reporters. While speaking, he adjusted his sitting posture and straightened his waist, as if he was standing on the bridge, with the vast sea in front of him: "The mission is on the shoulder, and we must show the courage and responsibility to ride the wind and waves." ”
On November 1, 2023, the "Tianhui" undertook the task of transporting materials for the construction of the new scientific research station of the 40th Chinese Antarctic scientific expedition. As the team leader, Zhou Renxiao drove the "Tianhui" ship from Zhangjiagang, crossed the equator, crossed the "roaring westerly wind belt" and the polar ice area, overcame many difficulties such as ice sea navigation and polar day operations, and successfully completed the transportation and unloading of materials for the construction of Qinling Station, and returned victoriously on December 28, more than a month earlier than the original plan.
"The hardest part of the voyage was navigating the dense ice of the Amundsen Sea in Antarctica. Zhou Renxiao told reporters that the ice area is 900 nautical miles long, equivalent to 1,800 kilometers of land, and it took them six days to pass safely. Especially when it was about to set foot on the Antarctic continent, the fleet was blocked by a thick ice area. In order to ensure safety, the "Tianhui" ship stayed outside the ice area, waiting for the "Snow Dragon 2" to break the ice and explore the way, sending a helicopter to shoot a video, and then combined with the ice map to find the best path between the dense ice areas. After 36 hours of continuous work, the "Tianhui" arrived in the Ross Sea in Antarctica.
"There is no experience to draw on. It also provides protection for Antarctic scientific expeditions, and the company's 'Yongsheng' ship has been to Antarctica twice, but only stopped at 70 degrees south latitude. This time we reached 75 degrees south latitude, which can be said to be deep into the heart of Antarctica. Zhou Renxiao said that everyone on the ship was in good spirits, and the two captains Pan Zhaoqiang and Huang Yibin were on duty 12 hours a day to control the ship.
The choice of anchorage is related to the safety of the ship, the transfer distance, and is also an important factor affecting the unloading progress. Zhou Renxiao told the team members: "Anchor the goal! If you put down the anchor well, you will have a good foundation." He introduced that the anchor position dropped by the "Tianhui" ship withstood seven or eight winds, and was only 500 meters away from the temporary wharf, and the shuttle ship only took 12 minutes from the big ship to the wharf at the earliest, and generally 16 minutes each way, which greatly saved the transfer time.
At that time, it was the summer of Antarctica, and extreme natural environments such as polar day, strong winds, heavy snow, and strong ultraviolet radiation all challenged Zhou Renxiao and his team. There is no dividing line between day and night, and Pan Zhaoqiang broadcasts "shouting" several times a day: breakfast, work, lunch, work, dinner, work, supper, sleep...... This is the crew's guide.
30 crew members and 58 days safely transported 9,300 tons and about 30,000 square meters of a total of 522 pieces of cargo to the Ross Sea area of Antarctica, escorting the construction of the Antarctic research station. "It's an honor to be a part of it. Talking about this experience, Zhou Renxiao is still excited, "On February 7 this year, China's fifth Antarctic research station, Qinling Station, opened its station, which attracted worldwide attention. My heart swelled with it. I think this is the best footnote to the meaning of labor. ”
The 44-year-old Zhou Renxiao's face is engraved with wind and frost that does not match his age, and he laughs that this is the baptism of the sea. In July 2003, he graduated from Dalian Maritime University and became the youngest captain in the industry in ten years. He admitted frankly that he had thoughts of giving up, and in the end, ideals and beliefs prevailed. He has participated in the transportation of major projects such as Karachi nuclear power in Pakistan and LNG in Canada, and has witnessed the giant ship of China writing a magnificent "China chapter" on the vast ocean of the world.
Now, Zhou Renxiao is planning for his next voyage.
Concept of labor
The word "sailing" is full of a kind of ambition that combines personal struggle with the long-term development goals of the country. The way of struggle of the laborer is labor. For the seafarers on the Chinese giant ship, "sailing" is their own job, and it is also naturally "anchored" to the mission of working and striving for the prosperity and strength of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
Jade carver: temper youth and make jade
Li Chu's works are more integrated with the atmosphere of the times. Photo courtesy of the interviewee
On April 24, Li Chu, a post-90s generation, was in the jade carving studio, holding a carving knife in his right hand and seed material in his left hand, outlining the texture with a knife and a stroke. In the evening, he and his wife She Lin appeared in the live broadcast room to introduce jade carving artworks and skills to domestic and foreign netizens, and spread jade culture.
Li Chu studied under his father, Li Kesheng, a famous jade carver of the Southern School and a craftsman in Southern Guangdong. In recent years, Li Chu's jade carving works have frequently won awards in major competitions, such as "Night Visit to Zhuge " won the gold medal of Chinese jade carving "Jade Cup", "Rigidity and Softness", "Dunhuang Flying Sky" and "Xi's Love Goose" won the silver medal of "Flying Flower Award", and "Ten Pieces of Southern Guangdong Style Snuff Bottle" won the bronze medal of "Tiangong Award" for Chinese jade carving works, and he was also known as the rising star of the southern jade carver.
After graduating from university, he followed his father to study the art of jade carving and inherited the jade carving business.
"My father was very fond of showing me some uncarved jade materials, and asked me what kind of animal this piece looked like and what it looked like. The first thing he did after he carved it was to share it with me and ask me how I felt like I was his own in-house tester. Since then I have been interested in the industry. After getting started, Li Chu trained in jade carving day after day, and despite the hardships, his interest was not extinguished.
As a "second generation craftsman", friends and collectors often jokingly ask Li Chu how many successes he has learned from his father, and Li Chu himself understands that he needs to inherit and innovate: "The times are different, the craftsmen needed are different, and the craftsmen created are also different, so I should find a path of my own." ”
Once, because of a piece of jade, Li Chu and his father had a disagreement, and no one persuaded anyone. "My father thought it would be a good idea to carve it into a traditional antique piece, and I thought it would be nice to carve it into an abstract geometric shape to accentuate the mechanics. In the end, the younger client preferred Li Chu's plan. This made him realize that while carving absorbs and inherits traditional culture and skills, it must also actively embrace the elements of the new era.
Li Chu and She Lin often collaborate on modern works. She Lin is a jewelry designer, and the husband and wife collaborated on the work "Pleasure", which is inlaid with 18K gold with delicate jade, oily and natural formation of a red arowana from Xinjiang Hetian, the whole bracelet is designed as a water wave, and the seed beads are designed as splashed water droplets, which is full of creativity and modern atmosphere.
"After cutting the rough stone, we will discuss which type is suitable for jade and which type is suitable for jewelry. She Lin told reporters that Li Chu was responsible for the production of bare stones, providing advice from the perspective of jade carvers, and the two of them "joined the jade" to make their dreams come true.
"Every generation has its own difficulties. For the new generation of craftsmen, it is easier to learn and obtain information due to the advancement of production tools, but there are also many temptations to divert attention, and it is difficult to calm down and focus on learning the craft and then innovating. Li Kesheng told reporters that it is very difficult for the new generation of jade carvers to find their own style in an environment full of temptation. It takes a long time of repetitive training and a lifetime of time and energy to be able to be creative.
Li Chu remembers deeply, one day, he heard his father chatting with his old friend over tea and saying, "I am very happy that my son has different opinions and ideas, and he dares to implement them." His father's affirmation made him feel that he was also "successful".
Concept of labor
Dedication, excellence, meticulousness, and the pursuit of excellence are the connotations of the craftsman spirit, which also contains a process of continuous innovation. The spirit of craftsmanship originates from handicraft labor, and it is carried forward more than modern industrial production and "intelligent manufacturing". Craftsmen create and form utensils, from rare treasures, great heavy weapons to thousands of "good things in China", all of which reflect the exquisite craftsmanship, magnificent ingenuity, and craftsman spirit, so as to make their own lives brilliant and "become instruments". Let us carry forward the spirit of craftsmen, and everyone can reap the praise of "finished tools" in their labor.

Express delivery, "fast" is the key. In the busy CDB office building in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, how to quickly pick up the goods and make the car? Zhou Zhuohui, the winner of this year's "National May Day Labor Medal" and a dispatcher of Guangzhou S.F. Express Co., Ltd., has his own set of know-how.
At 11:10 a.m. on April 22, in the Bank of Guangzhou Building, Zhou Zhuohui has completed most of the collection and delivery tasks in the morning, and next, he will arrive at three different floors within 15 minutes to pick up the goods, and at 11:25, the company's shuttle bus will go downstairs to load the parts.
Zhou Zhuohui took the passenger elevator to the 54th floor, where there is a utility room that is his "studio" and his "rest room". It was given to him for free by a customer he had known for many years in the building.
Pick up the item, inspect and pack it, put it in a cardboard box, seal it with tape, and attach the delivery slip...... It only takes more than 10 seconds for Zhou Zhuohui to complete a complete set of express packaging actions like a cloud. With the sound of "Ding Dong, Ding Dong ......", the smart device in his hand constantly sent out reminders for receiving and sending orders. "At the end of the day, 200 orders are indispensable, especially on days like the Mid-Autumn Festival and 'Double Eleven', which often have to be sent to about 11 o'clock at night. He said.
As he spoke, Zhou Zhuohui had already packed the express delivery and stuffed it into a black express backpack, and he went down the stairs to the front desk of a company on the 49th floor to pick up the second express delivery. Inspection, code scanning, ordering, posting...... While greeting customers, he skillfully completed the operation in hand. He then walked out of the office and through the long corridor to the freight elevator on that level. The freight elevator just arrived, and he took the freight elevator to the 23rd floor.
Arriving at the 23rd floor, Zhou Zhuohui did not rush to receive the mail, but squatted down and continued to be busy with the work at hand. At this time, it was 11:18, "It's less than 7 minutes, and the customer won't let us wait here for a long time, right?" The reporter couldn't help but be a little anxious. "Rest assured, they are all old customers, and they have been communicated in advance and will not be delayed. He replied calmly. Sure enough, a man pushed the door in time and walked in, and after affectionately calling him "Brother Hui", he handed him the documents in his hand. Zhou Zhuohui neatly sealed the documents, and at the same time pressed the downward button of the freight elevator to the first floor. During this period, he raced against time to squat in the elevator and use his mobile phone to complete the last piece of the collection process.
At 11:24, Zhou Zhuohui walked out of the side door on the first floor of the building, and a shuttle truck with the SF logo was parked on the side of the road. He ran to the back of the car, opened the back door of the car, sent all the express mail in the backpack into the car, closed the door, and completed the task of receiving and delivering the mail that morning.
"It's hard to wait for the elevator on the high floors, especially during peak hours, and you can't wait for half a day. Therefore, we will accurately calculate the time, neither delay the customer, nor delay the loading. "Zhou Zhuohui is very handy with express delivery work.
In 2005, Zhou Zhuohui joined Guangzhou SF Express Co., Ltd. and became a dispatcher in the Xian Cun business department. For 19 years, he has been receiving and delivering couriers at the Bank of Guangzhou Building. In addition to being "fast", he is also a "little bee" trusted by customers. So far, he has maintained a record of "zero complaints". "Brother Hui is very conscientious, and we can rest assured that the express mail will be delivered to him. Miss Liang, a customer, praised. Today, there are more than 1,000 customers' names in Zhou Zhuohui's WeChat friend list.
In the view of Cai Liangliang, who is also a dispatcher of the Xian Cun Business Department, Zhou Zhuohui not only has excellent business skills, but also a "good master" in the eyes of more than 100 apprentices, "He is a warm-hearted person, and Brother Hui will spare no effort to help us answer any questions we encounter in our work." ”
Concept of labor
The word "master" is understood in a literal sense, and originally referred to a person of dignitude, a person who is well-versed in affairs, and a person who is open-minded and bold. With the development of the Internet age, "talents" have evolved into people who are very professional and outstanding in a certain field, and people who have an in-depth understanding of a certain skill or knowledge. For the express delivery industry, it also gives people a sense of "fast arrival". Courier Zhou Zhuohui's understanding of "talent" is to be conscientious, do his best work, and become the No.1 among colleagues. In the field of new business forms, more and more ordinary "talents" like Zhou Zhuohui have emerged, who love labor, work hard, and continue to run forward for a better life for others and themselves.
Sanitation worker: sweep away the dust and be clean and responsible

Since April, heavy precipitation and thunderstorms and windy weather have continued, with precipitation reaching 150 mm in Liwan District, Guangzhou City, and "flooded streets" in many places on Shek Wai Tang Street, and many sewers have been blocked by soaked garbage.
On April 21, Song Longhua went to the site with his improved research and development of the "submersible mud pump" and started the operation. The reporter saw that Song Longhua fixed the pump with a square shelf, stepped on the hydraulic press, and probed the rotating blade into the sewer mouth. Soon, the soaked garbage was crushed, adsorbed and washed away, and the sewer mouth was instantly dredged clean.
Song Longhua, born in 1993, is a worker in the cleaning and transportation team of the Shiweitang Street Sanitation Station in Liwan District, and he is also one of the few post-90s representatives in the site's Dream Garden Studio.
The team of Dream Garden Studio is spontaneously formed by party members of the sanitation station branch, trade union members and workers who are interested in technological transformation, and is committed to making the city cleaner and the sanitation workers more efficient.
Song Longhua found that the existing electric pumping pump has no stirring function, and the shelf is small and thin, and it will be blocked by the mixed garbage in less than half an hour after starting, resulting in failure and inability to work, and the work efficiency is very low in special weather. "After many repairs, 2 pumps were scrapped and had to be removed for recycling. Song Longhua saw it in his eyes and was anxious.
Before entering the sanitation system, Song Longhua was engaged in welding, hydropower work, he used his technical experience, and the workers of the Dream Garden Studio only took a few days to improve and develop the "submersible mud pump". On the basis of the original pump, they purchased some equipment, added sunken rotary blades, widened and reinforced shelves, and installed mobile roller skates. After the power is on, the power of the sinking rotary blade can reach 3000W, which can quickly break up the clogged sediment and agglomerated garbage and then pump it away. The modified shelves are safer and the moving roller skates allow for more flexibility. "After being put into use, the work efficiency is increased by 2-3 times, especially suitable for operation in bad weather such as heavy rain. Song Longhua said that through efficient sanitation operations, the sewers were quickly restored to clean, and he felt fulfilled and proud.
Through the purchase of some parts and the recycling and reuse of waste products, Dream Garden Studio has also developed a remote control sanitizing vehicle that integrates road sprinkling, spraying and sanitizing, handling, and fire emergency functions, which is 3-4 times more efficient than the original sanitizing vehicle. Recently, in response to the problem of public toilet maintenance, Song Longhua and the workers of the Dream Garden Studio studied how to improve the automatic cleaning equipment of the public toilet.
"I think it is very meaningful to innovate with workers and greatly improve the efficiency of sanitation work. Song Longhua, who is not good at words, said.
"The times have new requirements for sanitation work, sanitation work is more intelligent and mechanized, and more responsible and capable young people like Song Longhua are also needed to join. The master who led Song Longhua said.
Song Longhua's team is also responsible for the removal and transportation of kitchen waste at about 80 points on Shek Wai Tong Street, collecting and transporting an average of 150 barrels of about 14 tons of kitchen waste every day. Walking through the streets and alleys, facing the pungent smell, pushing buckets, hanging buckets, dumping, and transferring garbage, the process seems simple, but in fact it requires a lot of effort. Guangzhou's high temperature weather lasts for a long time, and the peak period of kitchen waste removal and transportation is also long, and melons, fruits and vegetables emit bursts of peculiar smells after fermentation. At the end of the day, even after changing clothes, the odor on my body is still difficult to eliminate. Song Longhua said: "Every day, we take away the kitchen waste and replace it with a clean garbage can, which looks clean and smells no peculiar smell, and we are comfortable in our own hearts." ”
The production of food waste in high temperature days is high, and the operating load of the engine of the cleaning vehicle is also increased, resulting in an increase in the maintenance rate of the vehicle. At the end of the day's work, Song Longhua also needs to regularly inspect and repair the food waste tricycle. Only by ensuring the normal and safe operation of the removal vehicles can the garbage be cleared every day. Since the beginning of this year, Song Longhua has assisted in repairing and replacing more than 80 vehicle parts, timely investigation, quickly solving vehicle faults, and safely and efficiently guarding the city clean and tidy.
Concept of labor
Shi Chuanxiang, a national model worker and dung digger, famously said: "I would rather be dirty than ten thousand clean." "Hard work, honest work, creative labor", legal labor, all clean, can also bring clean, from the environment, to the body, to the mind.
Doctor: Benevolence and benevolence cure in both directions

After the ......pulse diagnosis, Li Saimei turned on the flashlight and shone it on the patient's mouth, she turned her head slightly to observe the patient's mouth from multiple angles. "Stick your tongue out and I'll take a look, and roll my tongue again......" "I'm so happy to see Professor Li again, I have been much better after taking the medicine you prescribed." Without waiting for Li Saimei to speak again, Uncle Zhang, a patient in his 60s in front of him, took the lead in speaking: "It's not easy to hang up your number, not in seconds." Every registration requires the whole family. ”
"Every time you come, you praise me. Li Saimei replied with a smile, writing the prescription in her hand one by one.
"We have been friends for more than 20 years, and from a few dollars a number to hundreds of dollars now, I have always trusted Professor Li. There are also nine doctors in the clinic who have come from all over the country for further training and follow-up, Uncle Zhang said to them.
There was a peaceful atmosphere in the consultation room, and the window was full of greenery. This is a scene at 14:30 on April 17, Li Saimeiming Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Studio of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. Li Saimei is a second-level professor, chief physician, and doctoral supervisor.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Saimei received various patients from all over the country such as hyperthyroidism, lung, kidney, and liver. For first-time patients, she asks very carefully questions. She told reporters: "Asking is particularly crucial, and many questions are usually hidden behind the scenes, which can be effectively found out through dialogue." Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the prevention of diseases before they occur. 'Verbal therapy', no chemotherapy. ”
In the morning, he supervised 4 classes at the school, went to the hospital outpatient clinic in the afternoon, attended a seminar at the university town campus in the evening, and supervised the dissertation of doctoral students in Canada through WeChat at 3 a.m. On a busy day, Li Saimei, who is already in her sixtieth year, is still in good spirits and walking like flying. People often wonder, the secret to maintaining this state? ”
Because of her love, Li Saimei has been doing the same for decades and insisting on the three-wheel drive linkage of "medical education and research". In 2010, Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, took the lead in founding the Clinical Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine Classics, aiming to spread traditional Chinese medicine. Li Saimei served as the director and held an international seminar on classical Chinese medicine, promoting Zhongjing's theory to the world, so that more people can know and love Chinese medicine. So far, she has trained 88 PhDs and 82 Master's students. "More than half of them are overseas students, and they also have a deep love for Chinese medicine. ”
Li Chengjun is a doctoral student with Li Saimei, and is a Malaysian-Chinese who grew up in Bangkok, Thailand. He said: "Traditional Chinese medicine is not only medicine, but also cultural studies and philosophy. I love Chinese medicine and am willing to be a messenger of Chinese medicine cultural exchange and dissemination, so that more people can understand the real Chinese medicine. ”
Traditional Chinese medicine sees a doctor, but also a person. Lee Sung-jun said: "In the past, this sentence came from a book, but after I studied for my Ph.D., my mentor set an example for me by words and deeds. She can accurately describe the characteristics of each returning patient and really cares about each patient. In the future, I hope that I can also grow into a 'dual-teacher' teacher like my mentor. ”
"Patients and students, they affirm me and trust me, and this is the meaning of the work of doctors and teachers. Li Saimei's smile is very determined, and there is a kind of healing power. "I use my medical skills to heal patients, and seeing them get healthy and have a smile on their faces is also a kind of healing for me," she said. To a large extent, they healed me. ”
Li Saimei is devoted to her work and often feels indebted to her family. However, her lover and child understand her, and her lover cooks meals and delivers them to the clinic from time to time, eats them with her students, and works with her. "Really happy and healing!"
Concept of labor
The doctor restores the patient's body to health through the treatment of the patient, which is the original meaning of "healing". Now, "healing" has become a popular online neologism to describe warming people's hearts, purifying the soul, and also including praise for others. Historian Thomas Carlyle said, "Labor has an eternal nobility, even a sacredness." "Labor in all walks of life has a "healing" power.
