Edit | Zero Seven Story Meeting
In the spring of 1979, I was a passionate but unskilled repairman. At that time, I was entrusted with an important task - to repair a machine that would be crucial for the upcoming large-scale exercises.

I have a natural love for machines and always dream of giving them a new life with my hands. The lack of experience allowed me to make a serious mistake in one operation, which not only damaged that machine, but also affected the preparation of the entire exercise.
My captain, Captain Wang, is a stern but fair man. He was very disappointed in my mistakes, which filled my heart with self-reproach and uneasiness.
In the face of possible severe punishment, I could not calm down and could not sleep at night. Until one day, Captain Wang transferred me to the power generation room and asked me to go there to "learn and grow".
In my opinion, this is undoubtedly a blow, an expression of distrust of me. With trepidation, I walked to a new position full of unknowns and challenges.
On my first day in the power station, I was in a heavy mood and full of my own failures and insecurities. I thought that my career had come to an end, and I was just mechanically carrying out the instructions given by Lao Li.
Lao Li is a senior mechanic there, an old man who seems serious but is full of enthusiasm in his heart. He seemed to notice my troubles, and often comforted me in his calm and powerful voice: "Xiao Zhang, machines are like people, they need understanding and patience. As long as you are willing to learn, there is no hurdle that you can't overcome. ”
Over time, Lao Li not only taught me how to maintain and repair various complex power generation equipment, but also patiently explained to me the principle and importance of each technology.

Whenever I encountered difficulties, he was always the first to show up and tirelessly guide me over and over again until I was able to complete the task independently.
With his help, I began to learn from each failure, and gradually, I found myself improving in my understanding and skills in operating these machines.
I became interested in power generation, and I began to appreciate the importance and value of this job. Every time the machine runs smoothly, I feel a sense of accomplishment that I have never felt before.
Slowly, my self-confidence began to return, and I was no longer the repairman who had lost faith in myself, but began to take the initiative to learn and explore more technical knowledge.
Just a few months after I was adjusting to my new job and starting to perform well, an emergency happened. It was a hot summer day, and the main power supply of the power station suddenly failed, and the entire power station was facing a power outage.
At that time, Lao Li had to ask for leave because of an urgent matter at home. It was just me and a few newcomers who weren't very experienced in the power room. At first, I felt a lot of stress and uneasiness, and I was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.
In the face of the immediate crisis, I know that backing down is not an option. I quickly recalled Lao Li's previous teachings, adjusted my breathing, and tried to analyze the problem calmly. By examining the circuits and systems, I discovered the core problem that was causing the failure – a critical converter was damaged.
With the knowledge and experience accumulated under the guidance of Lao Li, I directed the team to work together to quickly replace the damaged parts and carry out the necessary debugging of the system.
After an intense hour, we finally got the power system back up and running. This successful handling not only avoided a possible catastrophe, but also greatly enhanced my prestige and trust among my colleagues.
That night, I sat alone in the power generation room, where peace had been restored, and my heart was filled with emotions that I had never felt before. I finally understood that all this so-called "punishment" was actually an opportunity, an opportunity for me to find self-worth and growth in the midst of frustration.

I am grateful for the arrangement of fate, and I am even more grateful to Lao Li and Captain Wang for the trust and opportunity they gave me. My mindset has also shifted from focusing on past mistakes to focusing on how to use the opportunities of the present to shape the future.
During that time, every day of my time in the power room was a new challenge and a new learning. As I mastered my work, I began to feel a sense of responsibility and mission that I had never felt before. Soon after, an even tougher test was in front of me.
One night, while on duty, the power station was suddenly hit by extreme weather, and strong winds caused the external power supply line to fail, and the entire power generation system was seriously threatened.
This time, not only the equipment was a problem, but the stable operation of the entire station was hanging by a thread. The pressure weighed on my shoulders like a boulder, and every second was filled with tension and uncertainty.
I immediately organized a team to conduct an emergency inspection and found that the critical control system had begun to fail due to voltage instability. This is an extremely complex issue that needs to be dealt with precisely and quickly.
Thinking back to past failures at the repair shop, I know that any small mistake can have irreparable consequences. Unlike in the past, this time I have the knowledge and confidence to face such a challenge.
In a tense atmosphere, I calmly direct the team, and every step must be precise. We worked together to stabilize the system's voltage and replace the damaged control module.
Time seems to freeze, and every minute is like eternity. After hours of intense work, we finally heard the sound of the system running smoothly in the wee hours of the morning.
At that moment, I could hardly believe it, but when I saw the light blink back to normal, a huge sense of relief came over me. Afterwards, Captain Wang and Section Chief Liu came to the power generation room, and their faces were full of praise.

Captain Wang said to me: "Zhang Liming, you not only saved the power station today, but also proved your ability and determination. You're not the same fallible novice you used to be. ”
Mr. Liu also added: "Your performance has exceeded our expectations, and this sense of responsibility and professional competence is what we urgently need." ”
That night, I finally felt the satisfaction of getting up from a failure. More importantly, I am aware of my own growth and change.
I was no longer the young repairman who doubted himself because of a single mistake, but a technologist who could stand up in a crisis. I felt a sense of pride that I had never felt before, and at the same time, I was determined to continue working hard in my new role.
Since then, my status and self-confidence in the power generation room have improved significantly. The words of Captain Wang and Section Chief Liu moistened my once dry self-confidence like spring rain.
Soon after, I was officially promoted to technical specialist, which is not only a recognition of my ability, but also an affirmation of my responsibility and potential.
As I stand in my new role, I look back on the past days and those challenges and experiences are like a valuable asset that has allowed me to grow into a more mature and confident person. I know that every seemingly punitive shift can be a turning point and an opportunity.
I am determined to turn this gratitude into motivation and continue to shine in my role, not only to repay the leadership for nurturing, but also to support and help colleagues who may be going through similar difficulties.
My story is that I learned from a failure how to seize opportunities and how to find my own value in challenges. Now, I firmly believe that every effort will not be in vain, and every challenge is a new beginning!
