On April 27, 2022, on the occasion of the “May 1st” International Labor Day, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his congratulatory letter to the First Great Powers Craftsman Innovation Exchange Conference: “my country’s working class and the general working masses must vigorously promote the spirit of model workers and the spirit of labor. , craftsman spirit, adapt to the needs of today’s world scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, study hard, practice in-depth, be brave in innovation, dare to be the first, and continuously improve the level of technical skills, in order to promote high-quality development, implement the strategy of manufacturing a strong country, and build socialism in an all-round way A modern country contributes wisdom and strength.”
“Life is hard work, and diligence is not lacking.” In the process of our party uniting and leading the people to unremittingly struggle for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we have cultivated and formed people who love their jobs, strive for excellence, work hard, be brave in innovation, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be willing to contribute. The spirit of model workers, advocating labor, loving labor, hard labor, and honest labor, and the craftsman spirit of perseverance, excellence, meticulousness, and pursuit of excellence. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen are the vivid manifestations of the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core. Strong spiritual power.” The role model contains infinite power, and the spirit inspires the will to struggle. On the new journey, vigorously promoting the spirit of model workers, labor, and craftsmanship is of great significance for motivating and inspiring the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to work harder and devote themselves to the great practice of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
Labor is the essential activity of human beings and the fundamental force to promote the progress of human society. Labor is glorious and creation is great, which is the basic viewpoint of the Marxist concept of labor, an important interpretation of the laws of human civilization and progress, and a spiritual gene deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation. An important reason for the endless vicissitudes of Chinese civilization is that the Chinese nation has always advocated and loved labor. Every step of revolution, construction, and reform is not easy, and every step is soaked in the hard work and dedication of hundreds of millions of working people. From Zhao Zhankui, “a banner of the workers in the border areas” and Wu Yunduo, “the pioneer of the military industry” in the period of the new democratic revolution, to the “iron man” Wang Jinxi, the “outstanding representative of intellectuals” Jiang Zhuying, “I would rather one person be dirty, In exchange, Shi Chuanxiang, who was a netizen for ten thousand people, and Kong Xiangrui, a “blue-collar expert” in the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, Dou Tiecheng, a “gold worker”, and Wang Qimin, an “iron man in the new era”… all of them are ordinary but shining. Name, one by one, the laborers who worked hard and dedicated themselves, built the majestic building of socialism brick by brick.
General Secretary Xi Jinping especially praised the creation of labor, pointing out that “labor is the most glorious, noblest, greatest, and most beautiful”; he has repeatedly praised model workers and craftsmen of great powers, praising “model workers are the elites of the nation, the role models of the people, and Heroes of the Republic”, “The craftsmen of a great country are highly skilled talents in the workforce”, requiring “the whole society should uphold labor, see the wise and think together”, and “train and create more model workers and craftsmen of a great country”. In the fiery practice of the new era, Zhu Shijie, the “Bridge Crane Champion”, Gao Fenglin, the “Gold Medal Welder”, Hu Hongwei, the “Forbidden Area Warrior”, Huang Dafa, the “Contemporary Yugong”, Guan Yanan, the “First Deep Sea Fitter”, and Chen “Big Eyed Angel” Zhen, “the daughter of the poor people” Liu Shuangyan, “the nine-day star-watcher” Sun Zezhou and a large number of advanced model figures, dedicated to the motherland, forging ahead with the new era, inspiring the majority of the people to strive to be the strugglers of the new era, compose “” A new chapter of the Chinese Dream·Labor Beauty”.
my country is a socialist country where the people are the masters of the country. The Party and the country have always adhered to the policy of relying on the working class wholeheartedly, and have always attached great importance to the important role of the working class and the working masses in the development of the Party and the country. Since the founding of New China, the party and the state have held 16 national commendation conferences for model workers and advanced workers, with more than 30,000 commendations. This is a commendation for the hard work of the vast number of model workers and advanced workers. It reflects the party and the people’s admiration for labor and respect for laborers, in order to further create a glorious social ethos of labor and a professional atmosphere of excellence in the whole society. .
Socialism is achieved by hard work, and the new era is achieved by struggle. The beautiful dream in the world can only be realized through honest labor; all kinds of problems in development can only be solved through honest labor; all the brilliance in life can only be created through honest labor. The realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation fundamentally depends on the labor, creation and dedication of all the people. On the new journey, we must vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, labor, and craftsmanship, further stimulate the positive energy of seeing the best and think together, and rejuvenate the spirit of working hard.
—— Vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, labor, and craftsmanship, and work hard, love and drill. In front of the Beijing Department Store, known as the “First Store in New China”, a bust of bronze statues stands quietly. The bronze statue depicts an ordinary salesman, Zhang Binggui. In 1955, 36-year-old Zhang Binggui came here. In order to better serve customers, he worked hard on sales techniques and mental arithmetic, and developed the amazing skills of “one-shot” and “one-shot clear”. No matter how many kilograms or taels of goods the customer wants, he will be able to grasp it right away. The weight, when the product is weighed and packaged, the price is calculated mentally, and it is exactly the same. In more than 30 years, he has received nearly 4 million customers, and he has never had a red face or a quarrel with anyone. He was praised as the “Ninth Scene in Yanjing”.
“Be first-rate when you do it, and strive for the first place when you fight” is Xu Zhenchao’s motto. In 1984, Xu Zhenchao became the first batch of bridge crane drivers of Qingdao Port Container Company. Relying on his love for the position and hard study, he has mastered the unique skills of “one hook accuracy”, “one hook cleaning”, “silent operation”, etc., and led the team to break the world record of container handling many times, creating a world-renowned “Vibration Super Efficiency”. Railway worker Ju Xiaolin only has a high school degree, but with decades of dedication and hard work, he has written down nearly 3 million words of construction notes, developed and innovated more than 100 techniques and methods, from a migrant worker who can’t even read drawings. Growing up to be China’s top high-speed railway construction expert, the “Experience and Methods of Catenary Construction” compiled by him has become a “treasure book” for the first-line railway construction.
“When the heart is in the art, the art must be crafted; when the heart is in the job, the job must be performed.” There is no distinction between high and low labor. No matter what kind of labor you are engaged in, you must do one line of work and love it. This is an important prerequisite for doing a good job. , is a person’s minimum professional ethics, and is also the basic requirement of socialist core values. Do a line, but also drill a line, fine line. In the factory workshop, it is necessary to promote the spirit of craftsmanship, carefully polish every component, and produce high-quality products. In the fields, it is necessary to cultivate carefully and strive to win a good harvest. In shopping malls and stores, we must greet customers all over the world with a smile, and provide high-quality services. Elevating “dedication” to “refinement”, working hard to cultivate strong skills and becoming an expert, can better meet the needs of career development.
—— Vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen, and always maintain the passion for struggle and the courage to pioneer and innovate. In 1948, Anshan, Liaoning Province was liberated, and Ansteel, which had been devastated by war and was almost in ruins, returned to the hands of the people. A Japanese expert asserted that “it can only be used to grow sorghum”. Meng Tai, a 50-year-old old worker, led the workers to work hard, shaving ice and snow, scraping iron piles, and digging up and repairing tens of thousands of spare parts in just a few months. , established the famous “Mengtai Warehouse” in the whole country, which effectively guaranteed the resumption of production of Ansteel’s blast furnace. Meng Tai’s innovative spirit is equally commendable. He organized the whole factory to jointly tackle key problems and successfully self-made large-scale rolls, which filled the gap in the history of my country’s metallurgy; a number of technological innovations and inventions he led have saved a lot of energy resources for the country.
Aero-engines are known as the “jewel in the crown” of modern industry, and the blades are the key load-bearing components that affect the safety performance of the engine. Hong Jiaguang’s job is to make the grinding tools needed for the engine blades. Endless struggle and innovation are the footnotes of Hong Jiaguang’s life. In order to be able to master more sophisticated technology, Hong Jiaguang, who graduated from technical school, completed more than 7,000 working hours a year when it was not easy for others to complete 4,000 working hours a year. Growing from an ordinary mechanic to the chief senior technician of AVIC, he has always insisted on leading the team to overcome difficulties in the production line. He has completed more than 200 technological innovations, solved more than 340 technical problems, and developed a mature precision grinding technology for aero-engine blade rollers. , providing a strong technical support for the independent research and development of my country’s aero-engines.
“Difficulties show courage, and hard work leads to success.” The greater the cause, the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more it requires hard work, and the more it requires innovation. The majority of laborers must always maintain their striving qualities, grasp the trend of the times, roll up their sleeves and work hard; they must pay close attention to the industry, industry frontier knowledge and technological progress, enhance innovation awareness, cultivate innovative thinking, and demonstrate the courage to innovate and the courage to be the first. , vigorous and vigorous, and strive to be knowledge-based, skilled and innovative workers.
—— Vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, labor, and craftsmanship, and consciously integrate the ideal of life into the cause of the party and the people. In 1958, on the night when Deng Jiaxian accepted the historical task of developing the atomic bomb, he said to his wife: “My life is dedicated to the future work, and when this is done, my life will be meaningful, even if I die. It’s also worth it.” No one would have thought that as soon as he left, there would be no news for 28 years. In the vast desert and desert, he worked hard to do earth-shattering things, but he was willing to hide and bury famous people. It was not until June 24, 1986, that a long report titled “Little Known Name, Famous Achievements: “Deng Jiaxian, the “Two-Bomb Hero”” was published, and his identity was made public. At this time, he has exhausted his life’s efforts for China’s nuclear weapons cause. More than a month later, Deng Jiaxian died in Beijing, and when he was dying, he still said, “Don’t let people put us too far.”
Rooted in the desert, there is also the “daughter of Dunhuang” Fan Jinshi. She is a prosperous Peking University student, but she bid farewell to her lover and a good life, and spent most of her life protecting more than 700 caves in the wilderness. She has always been simple and indifferent to fame and fortune. All the medals, certificates and bonuses she has received over the years have been returned to the unit. “This is not my personal honor, but belongs to the generations of the Dunhuang Academy.” After retirement, she still spends most of her time in Dunhuang every year, concentrating on studying the grottoes. She said: “The country has nurtured you, how do you serve the country? It is to do practical work. Although I am old, I can do something for Dunhuang. I still have to do it.”
“Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, without tranquility, there is no far-reaching.” The Chinese dream is the dream of the country, the dream of the nation, and the dream of every Chinese. Only by looking down on gains and losses, fame and fortune, can we not forget our original aspirations, keep our aspirations, and work hard without distractions; only by being willing to contribute to the cause of the party and the people, can we know the burden, act bravely, and achieve the “big self” with the “small self”. The majority of workers should take national rejuvenation as their own responsibility, consciously integrate their ideals of life into the great cause of national prosperity, national rejuvenation, and people’s happiness, and are determined to pursue a higher, more realm, and more meaningful life.
Greatness comes from the ordinary, and heroes come from the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “As long as you have firm ideals and beliefs, unremitting fighting spirit, and down-to-earth to do every ordinary thing well, all ordinary people can have an extraordinary life, and all ordinary work can create extraordinary things. Achievements.” The new great journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way has provided valuable opportunities and a broad stage for the broad masses of working people. All workers, as long as they are ambitious and aggressive, and willing to learn, work and study, can grow and become talents based on their positions, reflect value, show style and feel happiness in their work.
This is an era that calls for labor creation and encourages hard work and enterprising, and it is also an era that has the opportunity to start a business and be more able to achieve a career. Let us vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmen, use labor to support the dream of revival, and create a better tomorrow with our hands.
