devoted himself to the front line——
“Use superb technology in production and bring the spirit of research to the workers”
Welding flowers splashed, machines roared, Sichuan Desheng 1250 cubic meters blast furnace capacity replacement and supporting technical transformation project iron smelting project site, a scene of rushing. Zeng Zhengchao, the gold medalist in the welding project of the 43rd World Skills Competition, who is undergoing welding operations, looks focused, and the welding flowers are bit by bit under the welding gun ... After the
World Skills Competition, Zeng Zhengchao returned to China 19th Metallurgical Group Co., Ltd. and participated in the construction of many major projects such as the Kungang environmental relocation blast furnace project.
"Using exquisite technology in production and bringing the spirit of research to workers is something that excellent craftsmen must do." The teachings of Zhou Shuchun, a national technical expert and national welding skills master, often echo in Zeng Zhengchao's ears. From the arena to the workplace, Zeng Zhengchao applied his training experience and skills to his work, and conveyed the spirit of craftsmanship with practical actions.
"Be careful not to settle down, and be persistent and focused when doing things. At the project site, we sometimes have to work for more than 12 hours, which especially requires us to exert our persistent and focused spirit." Zeng Zhengchao said.
Facing difficulties and challenges again and again has allowed Zeng Zhengchao to grow a lot and gain a lot. "Some welding points are close to the ground and cannot operate according to routine operations. New welding methods need to be considered." Zeng Zhengchao said: "As a technical worker, you have to deal with various technical difficulties and challenges every day, and you will feel a sense of accomplishment after solving them."
is different from "Zeng Zhengchao and others", and some gold medal players are also engaged in teaching and educating people and cultivating more skilled talents. Zeng Lufeng, the gold medalist in the water treatment technology project of the 45th World Skills Competition, is one of them.
"Hello Teacher Zeng!" Early in the morning, in the water treatment chemistry training room of Jiangxi Environmental Engineering Vocational College, students were waiting for Zeng Lufeng. On the automatic mixer, the same raw water is left in the 6 beakers and different chemicals are injected into it. As soon as the parameters are set, the stirring paddle will run quickly. After a while, a floc called " alum flower " gradually formed, and impurities in the water appeared.Zeng Lufeng bent over and observed the shape of the "alum flower" with a focused expression. "The 'alum flower' in this cup is too small, which means that the amount of potion is not added enough..."
finds out the problems one by one, adjusts and tests repeatedly, until all the "alum flower" in the beaker successfully settles to the bottom of the cup, and the water on the upper layer becomes clear. After a while, the students submitted an experimental report. Zeng Lufeng carefully checked the parallel experimental data of each group such as pH value, and gave a detailed explanation with a smile...
In the past three years of teaching, Zeng Lufeng has led thousands of students. "Labor is glorious and skills are precious. I want to cultivate more high-skilled talents for the country," said Zeng Lufeng.
There are many gold medal players who are devoted to teaching and educating like Zeng Lufeng. According to the "Survey on the Career Development of the World Skills Competition" released by the China (Guangzhou) Research Center of the World Skills Competition, 73% of the contestants stay in school or teach in their work units after winning the award.
"Vocational skills competitions and other activities have created a good growth environment for skilled talents. The contestants have returned from honors. Some have transformed into teachers or coaches, and some have become top skilled talents in the industry. They have all made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields." Ye Chaofei, vice president of Jiangxi Environmental Engineering Vocational College, analyzed.
polishing skills -
"Trial ordinary skills and carry the 'Chinese quality' on your shoulders"
put on protective clothing and protective mask, Hangzhou Technician College teacher Yang Jinlong is explaining the key points of car painting to students at the spraying training center.
has been polished and evenly flat next to the car body, and various colors of paint are neatly placed on the shelf. In the measuring cup , as the paint increases and decreases, under the fine modulation of Yang Jinlong, there are different colors. "Every step of polishing, making pigments, spraying, etc. is very important. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted." In Yang Jinlong's view, car painting focuses on making excellence and every detail must be grasped.
From a peasant family in Baoshan, Yunnan, Yang Jinlong, born in 1994, is now an experienced car painting teacher. At the same time, he has another identity - a gold medalist in the automotive painting event of the 43rd World Skills Competition.
In 2014, the China Training Base of the 43rd World Skills Competition Auto Paint Project was settled at Hangzhou Technician College. Yang Jinlong, who has graduated and works in a car 4S store, resolutely decided to quit his job with good treatment and sign up for the competition.
World Skills Competition Automobile Paint Project Standard is 0.13 mm, with an allowable error of only 0.01 mm, which is about 1/6 of the diameter of a hair. The spray paint generally requires more than five or six layers of spray.
is behind high skills. Hangzhou is stuffy and humid in summer, and the temperature in the workshop where machines roar, often exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. According to the requirements, when spraying the painting, you must wear work clothes. Yang Jinlong, who was wrapped tightly, often sweated profusely. The contact between sweat and the plates will cause defects in the paint surface. Wet work clothes must be replaced. After training a day, it is common to change seven or eight sets of work clothes.
During the period before participating in the competition, Yang Jinlong trained for more than 10 hours almost every day, and he also took the initiative to practice in addition to the regular training plan. Because she held the spray gun in her hand for too long, when she returned to the dormitory, Yang Jinlong often needed to apply ice bags on her arms to relieve the pain. "Sometimes it hurts so much that I can't sleep, and my arms can't be lifted for a few days," said Yang Jinlong.
Diligent study and hard work and strive for excellence are also the secret for Zhao Mubo, the gold medalist in welding event of the 45th World Skills Competition, to continuously improve his skills. Zhao Pubo was born in Huili County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan in 1997. After graduating from junior high school, he applied for the welding major of Panzhihua Technician College of China 19th Metallurgical Group with the idea of "learning a skill well and achieving self-reliance".
During the school period, in order to practice wrist strength, Zhao Mubo often held a large drink bottle filled with water in his hand, and it took more than an hour to stand at one stop; the operation process required a lot of points, and he was always the first to come to the training ground, and his notebook was filled with training experience.
"What is a craftsman? Tempering ordinary skills and carrying the 'Chinese quality' on your shoulders, this is a craftsman."During the preparations for the welding project of the 45th World Skills Competition, Zhao Pubo gave up his holidays and rest, and had a total of more than 20,000 training sessions, just to "carve the correct welding operation methods into the muscles".
Finally, in the competition involving 4 modules and a total of 18 hours, Zhao Pubo completed more than 80 welds and hundreds of arc-starting and stopping, almost zero mistakes, and won the championship with 93.53 points.
On the stage of the World Skills Competition, the gold medalists honed their skills with hard work and watered their harvest with sweat. "The good results on the field promoted the improvement of the teaching level of vocational schools and technical colleges, and the inspirational stories of the gold medal craftsmen also attracted more young people to devote themselves to skills learning. ", executive vice president of , China Engineering Construction Welding Association, believes that cultivating outstanding players in various vocational skills competitions is of great significance to my country's vocational education .
relay inheritance -
"Interest is the best teacher, and it is easier to stick to what you like."
At the 44th World Skills Competition, 21-year-old Hu Ping won China's first gold medal in fashion technology projects. "Now, looking back on every little bit of the competition, I am still very excited..." Hu Ping, who is already a teacher at Beijing Institute of Industry and Trade Technicians, said that interest and love are the driving force that supports her forward.
"When I decided to learn skills, my relatives and friends did not agree. "Hu Ping said that thanks to the World Skills Competition, she also changed her views on relatives and friends.
In recent years, more young people who are interested in professional skills have chosen to join them. "We have been enrolling in the past two years very well, and many students from other places come here to study. "Hu Ping said.
" Interest is the best teacher, and it is easier to stick to it when choosing what you like. "Hu Ping said that she hopes to pass on her love for fashion technology to her students.
is similar to Hu Ping. Song Biao, winner of the Albert Vader Award at the 44th World Skills Competition, also believes that "whether you are learning knowledge or learning technology, as long as you are interested and willing to study, you will definitely achieve good results and gain a wonderful life."
Now, the 23-year-old Song Biao is not only an undergraduate student at Jiangsu Institute of Technology, but also an in-service teacher at of Changzhou Technician College in Jiangsu Province. "In school, I serve as a teacher in the two professional courses of comprehensive processing and fittering, and also a instructor for students to participate in all levels and types of skill competitions. "Song Biao said that in class, he would share his experience and experience of participating in the World Skills Competition with students.
In September 2021, according to the skill talent policy, contestants who won awards in the World Skills Competition can enter without exams and continue their studies. While retaining their teaching position, Song Biao became a freshman at Jiangsu Institute of Technology again.
"Now, if you want to become a 'dual-teacher' teacher, you must not only have superb professional skills, but also constantly improve your theoretical level and learn and master the most cutting-edge technology and industry development trends. "Song Biao said, "Aiming at high-end manufacturing, having diversified capabilities and a comprehensive vision - this is the goal I have set for myself and my students in the next four years. "
In the Master Yang Jinlong Studio of Hangzhou Technician College, Yang Jinlong has coached many students. During his more than 6 years of teaching in the school, he has trained more than 300 technicians and more than 300 senior workers. The junior brother of the same school, Jiang Yingcheng, won the gold medal in the automotive paint project of the 44th World Skills Competition.
"Teacher Yang often encourages us to persevere in the areas of interest. "Yang Jinlong's student Wang Xingfu said that he felt a lot of sense of accomplishment in the process of learning skills.
In addition to cultivating students, Yang Jinlong is also keeping up with the industry development trends, studying cutting-edge automotive paint technology with his team to promote the transformation of innovative results.
"Technical standards are constantly updated, and skilled talents also need to constantly master new methods and skills in order to better adapt to market demand. "Yang Jinlong said.
survey and research shows that 33.3% of contestants can play a role in technical research and product research and development. "Because contestants are close to the actual situation of the industry and have a certain skill level, their participation in technical research and product research and development can better promote the development of related industries."A industry insider said.
"In recent years, vocational education has been increasingly valued, and skilled talents have become more and more popular. "Yang Jinlong said, "This will also encourage more young people to learn a skill and light up their youth with struggle. ”
