Early in the morning, 78-year-old Lu Shengmei was busy in the clinic of Jiaxian People's Hospital. She asked questions patiently, prescribed carefully, comforted the crying children, and reminded parents of various precautions... Although she is nearly 80 years old, as a pediatrician, Lu Shengmei's three free medical consultations a week are still unstoppable. "The patients need me, I am still healthy and can continue to serve them," she said. Because of being "needed", Lu Shengmei took root in northern Shaanxi and stayed for more than half a century.

In 1968, after graduating from university, Beijing girl Lu Shengmei came to Jia County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province to study medicine alone. Jiaxian is located at the junction of Loess Plateau and the Mu Usu Desert, with ravines and harsh environments. The local medical conditions are very backward, and the two rows of old caves with the wall peeling off are County Hospital . Seeing that the people were short of medical treatment and medicine, Lu Shengmei made a promise - "work for the Party for 50 years and serve the people of Jiaxian for 50 years."

Lushengmei's major was pediatrics, but Jiaxian Hospital at that time had no divisions. In order not to disappoint patients, Lu Shengmei seized all the time and opportunities to learn various medical knowledge after work. She was taking a consultation and going to the hospital during the day, and reading and taking notes under the oil lamp at night became the norm in her life.

"In addition to internal and surgical and pediatrics, I also learned obstetrics and gynecology and dermatology techniques. Many fellow villagers are used to seeing traditional Chinese medicine, and I taught myself acupuncture." In this way, the "quasi-specialist" became the general practitioner who "have all kinds of martial arts skills".

shanshan and valleys in northern Shaanxi were not well developed in the past, and many people were inconvenient for medical treatment. In order for the masses to see a doctor in time, Lu Shengmei often needs to go to the hospital. On a snowy morning, Lu Shengmei followed her fellow villager to Cui's family, more than ten miles away from the city, for treatment. At that time, she was wearing plastic cotton shoes brought by Beijing, and she fell down after walking a few steps in the snow. The fellow villager couldn't bear it and advised Lu Shengmei to go back, saying that he would come to the hospital for treatment the next day. Lu Shengmei did not agree and continued to walk forward. On the downhill road near the village, she simply slid down halfway, and when she arrived at the patient's house, she almost turned into a clay figure.

"At that time, I just thought that there was a child waiting for me. Time is life, and I must move forward." Lu Shengmei said that after diagnosis, the child suffered from measles pneumonia. There were 5 children with similar symptoms in the village, and she rescued three children in a row. In order to prevent the disease from spreading, Lu Shengmei gathered the five sick children together with the help of the villagers. In less than a week, all the children were cured.

In 1983, Jiaxian People's Hospital established the first pediatric department, and Lu Shengmei became the first pediatric director. Over the years, she has not had the opportunity to go to a big city with better conditions, but she has never thought of leaving. She has been rooted in the Loess Plateau for 54 years, not only relieves the pain for many patients, but also strives to improve the local medical level.

In 1999, Lu Shengmei retired, and she still chose to provide free medical treatment for patients in Jiaxian. "The state has given me a retirement salary. I am not short of money and can't take another portion of money," she said. In addition to taking turns to take care of the Jiaxian People's Hospital and Jiaxian Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, many people know Lu Shengmei's address. Some patients go to work during the day and come to the door for consultation after get off work, and Dr. Lu also receives it carefully.

"retreat but never rested", Dr. Lu is still the "Dinghai Shenjian" of Jiaxian Pediatrics. "Doctors will consult Dr. Lu whenever they encounter any difficult problems. Sometimes when they encounter difficult and complicated diseases, we will take the patient to Dr. Lu's home. On the one hand, we solve the problem as soon as possible, and on the other hand, we also learn in time. Dr. Lu never refuses." Wu Yan, the current director of pediatrics at Jiaxian People's Hospital, said, "The old saying goes, learn from the good. With role models like Dr. Lu and such teachers, we have confidence and strength."

Lu Shengmei said that when she was elected as a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, she was still a little nervous while excited. "I will take this mission as a new starting point to continuously improve my business capabilities, better serve patients, repay society, and repay everyone's recognition of me."

Pan Congming : Ten years of sharpening swords and striving for "gold"

is thin, walks like the wind, and doesn't speak much, and is a good player to solve problems. He is Pan Congming, a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the head of the purification process of the precious metal smelting branch of Jinchuan Group Copper Co., Ltd.

26 years ago, he has been purifying the purification process of precious metals , not only creating a new process flow and technical standards, but also filling the gap in the comprehensive utilization technology of complex rhodium iridium materials at home and abroad.

In 1996, after graduating from the foundry major of the former Jinchuan Company Technical School, Pan Congming was assigned to work in the precious metal workshop of the second smelting plant of Jinchuan Company at that time, and was responsible for precious metal purification. Although the major was not right, Pan Congming did not retreat.

At that time, Pan Congming looked around and couldn't buy professional books. "If you don't have books, you can only learn on the spot with the master." He recorded the master's words one by one every day, recalled and copied them repeatedly at night, and unconsciously piled up the notebook more than one meter high.

"At that time, I didn't have much work, and I could finish it in four or five hours." Pan Congming said that as soon as he finished his work, he went to other positions to study. In just 3 months, he not only became familiar with the work in this position, but also became the "master" in the position.

"Not only do you need to learn how to do it, but you also need to ask more why." But the masters know how to do it, but it is difficult to explain the principle clearly. It was not until 2004 that the company invited experts and scholars from Xi'an University of Architecture and Science and Technology to teach related courses such as metallurgy in enterprises. Pan Congming completely solved the long-standing confusion, and it was also when he began to experiment independently. During the work of

, Pan Congming read more than 120 professional books, wrote more than 300,000 notes, and re-sumed more than 20 chemical reagents that can be used for purification, and summarized more than 600 chemical equations involving precious metal smelting processes outside the book.

Since 2007, Pan Congming has applied the experimental results to production one after another. In 2009, due to outstanding performance, Pan Congming was appointed as the squad leader of the purification squad. "As a party member, you need to be more active and responsible." After becoming the squad leader, he volunteered to lead the team to test the entire process of the purification process.

After tens of thousands of repeated tests, Pan Congming mastered the ability to judge the degree of purification and process problems in the color of the solution. He improved the original process, formed a new process flow and technical standards, and won the "National Second Prize for Science and Technology Progress" in 2019.

"In the past decade, it has been a decade of full gains for front-line industrial workers." Pan Congming said that the Party and the state attach more importance to the policy support of industrial workers, and more and more industrial workers like Guan Yan'an and Gao Fenglin realize their value and have won the title of "Big Country Craftsman".

In recent years, Pan Congming has put forward new requirements for newly-employed employees, namely submitting one monthly internship report, process flow chart, equipment connection chart and study summary, and requiring them to find problems in a timely manner through experiments to form papers or patents.

Pan Congming said that as a party member, we must not only take the lead in tackling problems, but also share the inheritance. At the end of each month, he would take time to review reports and provide timely guidance. Sometimes he would work until two or three in the morning and put together the studio benches and make do with it overnight.

Many new employees could not bear it at first, but as patents and papers were published one after another, they gradually understood Pan Congming's good intentions. It is Pan Congming and his employees' efforts to excel, and the purity of precious metal products of Jinchuan Group has reached 99.99% for 35 consecutive years. Among them, the most difficult precious metal rhodium to extract, the purification process has been streamlined from more than 40 to more than 10. The production cycle has dropped from the past 6 months to about 1.5 months, and the recycling rate has been greatly improved, truly achieving "eat dry and squeezed all".

Nowadays, Pan Congming focuses on the comprehensive recycling of precious metals in secondary resources. "Mineral resources are ultimately limited. If precious metals in scrapped automobiles, electronic products, petroleum catalysts and other resources are recovered, the resource shortage can be alleviated." Pan Congming said that although these resources are complex, he will still lead the team to continue to overcome difficulties.

Yu Jihong: Trying to be at the forefront of technology

neat short hair and decent suit, gentle and calm when talking, Yu Jihong in front of him gives people the impression of being capable. Guide students to experiments, revise papers, teach classes, discuss project progress with team members, preside over and attend academic conferences, and process manuscripts as editors of international academic journals... For Yu Jihong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor of chemistry at Jilin University, working hard every day from morning to night is a normal state.

"I have been engaged in the research on nanopore materials of molecular sieve. Molecular sieve is a material used to screen different molecules and is widely used in industrial catalysis, adsorption separation, and ion exchange fields," said Yu Jihong. Over the past 30 years, she has devoted herself to research and continued to innovate, and has achieved a series of breakthrough results in the creation of molecular sieve materials and its basic application research, which has produced important international academic influence and promoted the progress and development of molecular sieve scientific research in my country.

On the road of scientific research, Yu Jihong has also experienced many hardships. In the 1990s, with the rise of various new materials, the traditional research field of molecular sieve was at a bottleneck and low period. Yu Jihong firmly chose the extremely challenging research direction of molecular engineering of functional materials, and is committed to the directional synthesis of molecular sieve materials. Many people advised her to change the direction of hot spots, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve results, but Yu Jihong has always been sticking to it.

In order to achieve the directional synthesis of molecular sieves, she led the team to work hard and took the lead in creating a molecular sieve synthesis database in the world by looking up massive literature. On this basis, she proposed a strategy of guiding the directional synthesis of molecular sieve by combining theoretical simulation, data mining and high-throughput experiments in the international arena, achieving a zero breakthrough in the creation of new topological structure types of molecular sieve in my country. In 2016, she led the team to discover the crystallization mechanism of hydroxyl radicals accelerating molecular sieve nucleation for the first time internationally, opening up a new path for the efficient and green synthesis of molecular sieve materials.

Although many achievements have been made, Yu Jihong did not stop to continue to search. She told the students in practice that they should not follow the trend in chasing hot spots. As long as they have a strong foundation and continue to intersect subjects, they can produce new original results. "We try to break through the original understanding of molecular sieve materials through interdisciplinary cross-disciplinary research, and greatly expand the application of molecular sieve to energy storage, optoelectronics, sensing and other fields." said Wang Tianshuang, a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Chemistry, Jilin University.

"This is a new flexible solid lithium air battery we developed. It is only 0.33 mm thick and can be bent at will. It has important application prospects in flexible electronic products." Yu Jihong held a "paper" in his hand and showed it to the reporter. In 2021, she led the team to develop a new solid electrolyte material based on molecular sieve films for the first time. The result was published in the journal " Nature ", which effectively promoted my country's progress in the field of solid metal air battery .

diligence is another keyword to describe Yu Jihong. This year, she was in the laboratory for New Year's Eve, and while eating boxed lunches, she discussed with everyone the preparations for the National Natural Science Foundation of Molecular Sieve Basic Science Center. But no matter how busy she is, she puts the most important position on the student affairs. She discusses work with students every day to open up everyone’s innovative ideas. The students said that the figure of the teacher discussing and revising the paper word by word in front of the computer will make them unforgettable... So far, Yu Jihong has trained more than 70 doctoral students, and more than 40 people have been promoted to professors or associate professors, and a group of top young talents have emerged.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician of the Developing National Academy of Sciences , International Federation of Pure and Applied Chemistry Outstanding Women Award for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, " National May 1st Labor Medal "... Yu Jihong has won many honors. One of the words she often says is: "I am an ordinary teacher, scientific and technological worker, a Communist Party member."

Following being elected as the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Yu Jihong was honored to be elected as the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China this year. "I will further enhance my sense of responsibility and mission, adhere to the 'four aspects', actively participate in scientific and technological innovation, and make new and greater contributions to our country's construction of a world science and technology power." Yu Jihong said.
