Video loading...

70 years, one needle and one thread

It contains a unique code for economic development

70 years, one cloth and one cloth

Witness the thousands of weather of social change

In Fuzhou, Fujian

There are three generations of such a family

With hard work and sweat

Contribute to the development of China's textile industry "one needle and one line"

Zheng Baoyou, 74 years old this year

He was born in Changle District, Fuzhou, Fujian Province

As the eldest son in the family

He took on the responsibility of supporting his family early on

Zheng Baoyou said: "Our generation is from a poor background.

It's very bitter, it's the kind of suffering that can't be said. ”

In 1949, China's textiles were not yet self-sufficient

There are only 58 large textile mills or processing points

It took only one year

The number of cotton mills exceeds 250

Changle is located on the southeast coast and is the "cotton-free town"

Without cotton, the spinning industry became "passive water"

Zheng Baoyou was keenly aware of this sign

The idea of making yarn in Changle took root in his heart

In the 1980s, the spring breeze of the market economy began to rise

Zheng Baoyou saw the timing,

After consulting with a few friends, he raised funds to set up a spinning factory

He said: "When we first made yarn, we didn't hire technicians, we just did it ourselves. ”

Poor and white, confused...

Technology, management, raw materials...

Each step is crossing the river by feeling the stones

"Don't look at a yarn, in fact, the technology is very comprehensive. For example, humidity, weather, machinery and equipment... Everything is not so simple. ”

It's not easy

But the original intention of doing things well has always been simple and persistent

At the beginning of the 21st century, Zheng Baoyou entered the upstream of the textile industry, using chemical raw materials to produce staple fibers and filaments

From the source, it has laid a solid foundation for the development of Changle and even the Fujian textile industry

Right now

China is already the world's largest apparel retail market

In 2018

In total, China makes about 45.6 billion garments

Behind 456 billion garments

It is China's perfect garment industry chain

As of now, Chinese mainland among the world's economies

The largest production of chemical fiber

Over 70% of the world

The annual output of chemical fiber has increased from 1 million tons to 50 million tons

It only took about 30 years

The number of chemical fiber enterprises is decreasing

The strength is getting stronger and stronger

"The road is getting wider and wider"

Technology is also constantly upgrading and iterating.

Three generations of the Zheng family, there is an unwritten consensus:

Technology is the lifeblood and soul of the textile industry

The 1980s and 1990s

At that time, the common production capacity of spinning machines was 420 spindles per spindle

Zheng Baoyou continued to study and ponder

By upgrading

The production capacity of each machine was increased by more than a dozen spindles

And the number has been increasing

"I don't lose when others lose, and I can earn more if others can earn."

Zheng Baoyou said.

Zheng Hong is the son of Zheng Baoyou

I was impressed by my father.'s hearing

He also entered the industry after graduating from college

For textile equipment

He was more sensitive than his father

He believes that the current competitiveness of the textile industry

It mainly depends on the level of automation and intelligence of the equipment

As a result, he invests a lot of money in equipment retrofits every year

Production has now doubled compared to a few years ago

Zheng Linpeng is the third generation of the Zheng textile family

After returning from studying abroad, he also chose the textile industry

Technology upgrades

In his hands

It's an era proposition

He is using his actions to find answers

"I always remember when I got married,

Grandpa gave me a calligraphy and painting,

It reads 'Warmth on earth, starting from a needle and a thread'. ”

Zheng Linpeng was thinking back to the teachings of his grandfather Zheng Baoyou

These words are taken to heart

"Food, clothing, shelter, clothing is the first."

Since we have made textiles, we must seek happiness for society and mankind. ”

Zheng Baoyou said

The original intention of doing a better life for people

It should be passed on from generation to generation

According to statistics

China's yarn output is 29.589 million tons

This is an increase of 89.5 times over 1949

The cloth production is 65.73 billion meters

This is a 33.8-fold increase over 1949

It is such a batch of textile people

With one stitch and one thread

Let Chinese clothes gradually become a "flowing landscape"
