【Editor's Note】
Old News and New Reading - Old News refers to the media's collection of parties and matters at that time. When we were operating the topic of Cao Yang New Village, the characters scattered in the paper slowly emerged. In general, their image is mixed with enthusiastic rhetoric, or rigid policies and regulations, or deafening slogans. As individuals, he/she is squeezed, engulfed, and occasionally, suddenly jumps out of the paper—a new socialist person is thrown to the forefront of the times, making a big splash and reciting it for a while.
He/she floats and floats in the torrent of the times, some become lucky, some people fall silent, today, we will "lift" him/them out of the words and lines, and he/they themselves will read the voice of this era, which has youth, blood, ideals, dedication, love and hate, glory and difficulties entangled.

The families of the workers in the third village of Caoyang New Village realized that ensuring the health of the workers was an important key to completing and exceeding the state production plan, and three weeks ago they implemented the "eight-hour exercise to ensure that the staff and workers slept.", first carried out key experiments in four groups, mobilized their families, set up a mutual aid group, formulated a patriotic mutual assistance pact, and put forward the slogan of "bringing good children well, not crying or making noises, employees going home to eat hot dishes and hot meals, talking and laughing loudly, walking and closing the door and relaxing, uniting and helping each other, and solving difficulties for everyone."
On the afternoon of the 24th of last month, the Family Committee organized the families of four key groups to visit the workers' production situation at the Seventh National Cotton Factory. At that time, the family members who visited were all wearing very thick cotton coats, but when they saw their relatives working in the workshop, they were only wearing a single coat or sweating, they were very touched and unanimously reflected: "In the future, we must take better care of the workers, so that they can eat enough and sleep well!!" Zhang Guoqing, a family member who lives in No. 24, is a tailor who did not care about housework in the past, but now understands that if he does not care about housework, it will affect the health and production of employees, so he specially pads his own door with a cloth to avoid making a sound when opening and closing, affecting the sleep of workers who do night work.
After three weeks of key experiments, the "eight-hour exercise to ensure the sleep of employees" in the third village has achieved initial results, Gu Xiuying, a worker at the Seventh Factory of Guomian, said, "In the past, when I came back to sleep from night work, I was very scared, because the children were noisy, closing the door, walking, talking and the sound of vendors shouting, often waking me up, sleeping for up to four hours a day." Therefore, there is no spirit in the work, production is affected, since the start of the eight-hour sleep exercise to ensure that the staff sleeps, I can sleep eight hours a day, and I have the strength to produce in the factory!"
Now the Third Village is preparing to launch this campaign in general.

Chen Weiqiu: This era still needs "spiritual heroes"

"I am going to sleep at 10 o'clock at night now, and Chinese medicine believes that at this time, your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will be detoxified, don't stay up late." Talking about the 8 hours of sleep advocated in this report, Chen Weiqiu nodded continuously, "It is really very scientific, and it cannot be made up." ”
Chen Weiqiu, who was born in 1972 and grew up near the Temple of Literature, is a person who is willing to enjoy life: traveling on a green-skinned train that "sunset and morning" in one night, just for the sake of that shaky leisure; watching old movies, "Today I Rest" related to Cao Yang New Village, old news films and documentaries are purely personal hobbies; when it comes to "Roman Holiday", there is light in the eyes, or listen to a few songs, "then drink wine and a few small dishes made by yourself, not to mention how comfortable it is."

And the job of a postman has never been so easy and comfortable. 30 years old to enter the postal system, Chen Weiqiu laughed and said, how much suffering at that time really said that I was not afraid of shame, "When I first came to work, I was a retreat, everyone arrived at 6 o'clock, some delivery posts even needed 4 o'clock, 4:30 to arrive, I was busy until lunch could not be eaten, the mother was also distressed, the meal was not finished and fell asleep, working hours of 8 hours? How can it be! He gave himself a one-month deadline to see if he could do it, and finally survived the first two months.
The postal system has its peculiarities, it takes 4 to 5 hours to sort out letters and newspapers, the longest time is spent on the sorting table for 7 hours, and then delivered, the hands and feet can be slightly faster, if you are not skilled, you can't use time to measure; there is also unloading and unloading newspapers, unloading packages, and the waiting time cannot be calculated. From the mountain of workload all the way from then, Chen Weiqiu felt that there was really nothing to complain about going to work at 6:30 and 7 o'clock now.
In the Caoyang area, the post office delivery volume has not changed much with the times, but the previous flat letter has been greatly reduced, and the Caoyang area has a large number of newspapers and bills due to the large number of elderly people. Although the range is not the largest, the roads involving the delivery range are relatively complex, requiring familiarity with the area and a lot of practical skills.
"Xiaoye is completely a superman, I am not qualified." Chen Weiqiu said. Ye Qi, the winner of the "National May Day Labor Medal" and "Shanghai Model Worker", is a former colleague of Chen Weiqiu, and although he also believes that he has been working hard for 20 years, Xiaoye's decades of dedication are like a day, "It is really remarkable." However, he believes that in the future, the possibility of manual labor front-line workers obtaining the title of labor model will be less and less, not that it is not important, but that brainpower, wisdom and other embodiments of the country's ability and spirit will receive more attention and recognition.

Although Chen Weiqiu loves to watch "Today I Rest", he believes that such a spirit will be less and less today or in the future, "In the end, we still need the existence of 'spiritual heroes'. ”
