This year, seven people in Nanjing were awarded the National May Day Labor Medal.
Whether it's a tech director of a tech company, a bus driver, or a firefighter...... All of them flashed with a kind of "skill close to the Tao" light.
Labor hides "poetry and distance"
On the Internet, there was a question that has attracted wide attention - why do people praise the "craftsman spirit", but are not willing to let their children become workers?
In the eyes of some people, being a worker is about the same as "simple and repetitive work on the assembly line, and a meager salary". However, is this the whole truth?
Radar requires extremely high precision of components. Hu Sheng, a senior technician of CNC lathes at the 14th Research Institute of China Electronics Science and Technology, is doing the process of processing radar parts, which can be called "dancing on the tip of the knife".
Standing in front of the lathe, Hu Sheng, a middle-aged uncle, immediately lit up, "After driving the CNC lathe, I found that the parts were more beautiful than I imagined, and I could make them more beautiful and faster, as if there was no limit, which was particularly fun." ”
▲Hu Sheng is processing parts
Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy.
For more than 20 years, Hu Sheng has successively undertaken dozens of key and important parts processing tasks on airborne, shipborne, and vehicle-mounted fire control radars, and overcame technical problems such as one-time turning and forming of bellows of millimeter-wave radars and processing and deformation of the reflective surface of airborne fire control radars, and became the winner of the 2019 "Great Country Craftsman of the Year" and the winner of the China Skills Award.
How many miracles can be created in the ordinary positions of lathe workers and welders? In CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Co., Ltd., there is a "female welding god" -- Sun Jingnan. In the "pure man's business" of welder, she became the nominee for the 2023 "Great Country Craftsman of the Year".
Once, in the Suzhou Metro Line 1 project, there was a difficult 20+8mmB grade weld in the car body weld. At that time, no one dared to weld, because if it didn't do it right the first time, the company might have to lose the project.
At this time, Sun Jingnan made a decisive move, put on the welding mask, and turned into a "female welding god", and successfully completed this difficult welding task.
▲As soon as the welding mask is worn, Sun Jingnan incarnates as a "female welding god"
Talking about the "road of transforming gods", Sun Jingnan said that there is no mystery, "The word 'craftsman' of craftsmen is to be careful about yourself in the professional field, this process may be a kind of 'torture' for you, but there will be a breakthrough in 'torture' at a certain stage." ”
Among the winners of this year's National May Day Labor Medal, Zhou Xiaomei has a number of invention patents for new materials; the new equipment developed by Zhang Hengnan can reduce the manufacturing cost by about 3 million yuan per year; and Zhang Bing has won the first prize of the National Bus Driver Energy-saving Technology Competition for two consecutive years......
Labor is no longer just a means of making a living, but also hides more "poetry and distance", but it just needs people who are willing to pursue it and have a little more "ingenuity".
The achievement of "craftsman" has honor and treatment
At a time when employment and entrepreneurship methods are becoming more and more diversified, how can more young people aspire to become a "craftsman", or even devote their lives to becoming an "old master" in the industry and becoming a "great country craftsman"?
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that glory belongs to the laborers, and happiness belongs to the laborers. In addition to flowers and applause, it may be more important to let workers have more happiness.
Happiness comes from the recognition of the whole society. Nowadays, Nanjing has established a multi-evaluation mechanism for skilled talents. Since 2012, high-skilled talents with outstanding contributions have been selected every two years.
In addition to a one-time bonus, skilled talents who have won the honorary title of senior technician with outstanding contributions in Nanjing can also enjoy health examination and recuperation in other places. Firefighter Tian Baoliang won the National May Day Labor Medal because he won the first place in the National Fire Industry Vocational Skills Competition.
Happiness comes from the guarantee of salary. "Having money and hope" is a small blessing in the hearts of many people. In terms of salary incentive mechanism, Nanjing vigorously promotes special contracts such as technological innovation and energy level wages, highlighting "more skilled and more work".
In 2023, Nanjing will carry out the first batch of "chief technician" evaluation pilots. As the highest level of the "new eight-level worker" vocational skill level structure, the "chief technician" enjoys the same treatment as the professional and technical personnel at the corresponding level in terms of job appointment, job rank promotion, and evaluation and awards.
Happiness comes from the broad stage of displaying talents. In recent years, Jiangsu has explored and launched the "key technology research list and leadership system", enterprises are out of the question, the government is on the list, and the talent is tackling key problems, regardless of origin and qualifications, only on strength and ability.
The Model Worker Innovation Studio led by Huang Wei, winner of the National May Day Labor Medal, completes an average of 8 projects every year, and its innovative "four new defoamer products" break the monopoly of foreign technology and realize the localization of defoamer products. From the formulation of national standards to the innovation of enterprise products, all walks of life have a stage for innovation.
A "master", let the skills be inherited and innovated
In "Mencius: Devoted to the Heart", it is mentioned that "a gentleman has three pleasures", one of which is "to be taught by the world's talents". In Jinling Petrochemical, "find Master Sun if you have a problem" is the mantra of the young people.
The team of the Model Worker Innovation Studio led by Sun Tonggen, the winner of the National May Day Labor Medal, has cultivated a large number of skilled talents in the process of tackling production problems, including many national technical experts and gold medalists in the National Skills Competition.
As of October 2023, Nanjing has established 248 municipal-level model worker and craftsman innovation studios and 272 municipal-level employee innovation studios. A "master" has allowed the "masters" to have a heritage, and also allowed more young people to have the opportunity to touch their skills.
At the social level, a more systematic "craftsman" cultivation system is accelerating its formation. In December 2023, the first batch of 3 "Nanjing Craftsman Colleges" in Nanjing will be listed. For example, the School of Mechanical Engineering of Nanjing Polytechnic University, on the one hand, cooperates with enterprises to introduce the latest technology and equipment, so that students can master practical production skills, and on the other hand, organizes students to go to downstream customer units of enterprises for internship and entry, so as to learn more about production and operation practices.
Through the in-depth integration of production and education, the combination of industry and academia, the craftsman college further strengthens the vocational attributes, and every graduation season, many outstanding "craftsman" students cultivated in this way are preemptively "booked".
There is no distinction between high and low labor, and any profession is honorable.
However, in order to truly make this sentence the consensus of the whole society, it is also necessary to establish an evaluation system and promotion system covering various occupations and all kinds of workers, so that more young people are willing to do a line, love a line, and drill a line no matter what kind of work they are engaged in, so that labor can become the source of all happiness.
