Recently, a news story about "a young man born in the 2000s scratched his putty and became a world champion", which attracted public attention and once became a hot search. It is reported that Ma Hongda is a student of the 16th-level architectural decoration technician class of Zhejiang Construction Technician College. After 4 days of fierce competition, he won the plastering and partition system competition championship in the 2022 World Skills Competition, achieving a breakthrough in the Chinese gold medal in this event.
World Skills Competition is known as the "World Skills Olympics". In this competition, in addition to Ma Hongda, Shao Rupeng, a teacher at Shanghai Urban Science and Technology School, won the gold medal in fine joinery projects, and Wang Pei, a Chongqing Urban Management Vocational College, won the gold medal in beauty projects... These professionals and talents who usually look inconspicuous now not only stand on the world-class podium, but also enter the public eye. Netizens liked it and lamented that "everyone has produced the top scorer."
Some netizens also talked about the old tune: "The construction department is really a mason", "It's useless, and you can only give 350 days at most on the construction site", "Painting is one of the dirtiest industries"... It seems that you don't agree with such a world champion, and you seem to feel that manual skills are not elegant and there is no dazzling future - this traditional concept is time to change.
Indeed, different social division of labor will lead to differences in work intensity and return levels in various industries. This situation affects people's judgment and choice of career to a certain extent. For example, the popular finance and the emerging Internet manufacturers in the past few years have attracted many job seekers to flock. But every industry has its own difficult sutras. Practitioners in any industry also have high or low incomes and are uneven. The key is to rely on individuals. Ma Hongda in the

In fact, in recent years, news about "blue-collar group treatment is not lower than white-collar workers". The incentive policies introduced by government departments for vocational education and professional and technical talents are also being improved one after another. Not long ago, many places across the country have successively issued new policies to clarify that senior technicians and professional talents with intermediate professional and technical positions will enjoy the same preferential conditions as master's and undergraduates in terms of housing subsidies and other aspects.
Our country has never lacked craftsman spirit, and has always praised craftsman spirit: in ancient times, the butcher cuts a cow, and has achieved the level of "advanced skills" for 19 years; now, there are a group of "big country craftsmen" behind large-scale projects such as " Chang'e " running to the moon, "Zhurong" exploring fire, and " Beidou " networking. On the road to building a modern country with Chinese characteristics in an all-round way, we need high-quality workers with craftsmanship spirit.
Ma Hongda, Shao Rupeng, Wang Pei, these young people who have achieved "world-class" in their professional fields have shown us very specifically what the spirit of craftsmanship is. It is reflected in many aspects such as dedication, lean , concentration, and innovation. This is not only a professional spirit, but also a life value. We have every reason and confidence that these talents with superb skills can not only create a better life with their hands, but also achieve broad career development and life value.
Therefore, more young people should also integrate the spirit of craftsmanship into their professions, establish a correct and healthy employment concept, be down-to-earth in jobs in all walks of life, strive to improve their skills and abilities, and actively integrate personal development into the tide of national modernization construction.
It is undeniable that there are also some relatively deformed phenomena in the huge employment market. At present, some popular industries seem to be surrounded by sieges. People outside squeezed their heads and wanted to enter, while people inside wanted to get out of the endless intra-roll. Some unpopular industries or basic jobs often face the embarrassment of not being able to recruit people. This is actually because some people's employment outspoken view. In the impetuous and blindly obedient job search market, the craftsman spirit is particularly valuable.
This world skills competition actually provides us with a window to see the world in all walks of life, and also allows us to see the inheritance and development of the craftsman spirit in the younger generation."The error of scraping putty is no more than one millimeter" shows not only the level of competition, but also the professional ingenuity that everyone should have to be down-to-earth and strive for excellence.
