Golden October, in the exhibition park in the northern suburbs of Bordeaux, France, the 2022 World Skills Competition Special Competition French Division events are held here from the 19th to the 22nd. The competition area has 5 competition events: mobile robot (two person), CAD mechanical design, digital construction, health and social care, plastering and partition system. Six young contestants from the Chinese delegation participated in the competition and finally won two golds and two bronzes.

19 On the morning of the spacious and bright competition hall, five events started at the same time. It is different from the subject competition that is upright and the passionate sports events. Each event in the skill competition is closely related to daily life. The competition areas of some events make the audience feel like they are in a familiar life scene.

Health and social care competition site is arranged as a small compartment that simulates the hospital ward. It not only contains beds, tables and chairs, health monitors, etc., but also staff playing the role of "patients". Even the details of wall hangings and green plant decorations are very realistic. This event lasts for 4 days. The contestants need to complete the practical care tasks of 10 cases of "patients" in four modules: hospital, day care center, long-term care center, and family, as well as write care plans, draw health posters, etc.

Wu Yixin, a teacher from the School of Nursing and Health Management of Shanghai Health Medical College, participated in the competition. She said that Chinese players have the advantages of studying details, hard work and striving for excellence, but they also face challenges such as language communication and cultural differences in care. To this end, she actively listened and communicated during the game and enhanced her ability to respond on the spot.

At the same time, on the other side of the hall, student from Zhejiang Construction Technician College Ma Hongda is busy competing for the plastering and partition wall system project. He sometimes flips through the drawings, sometimes cuts the gypsum board, and then quickly gets up and fixes the light steel keel , with skillful and neat movements.

It is understood that the plastering and partition wall system project content is to use light steel keels and gypsum board with different functions to build a lightweight partition wall system, add sound insulation cotton and other materials inside the wall to increase the wall function and decorate the wall. The most exciting thing is the last competition module, where the contestants use gypsum technology to create freely on a blank wall, showing their skills while also showing their unique aesthetics to the audience.

Ma Hongda said that the difficulty of the competition is that the contestants must complete the reading of the drawings, analyzing the test questions, design plans and writing processes within 3 hours. "The entire competition process is complicated and the process is complicated. An excellent player needs to master all the craftsmanship and craftsmanship, and perform steadily in every link and achieve the ultimate in order to win the gold medal."

mobile robot project is also closely related to daily life. The contestants need to assemble, debug and program on site based on the official suite provided by the organizer, and then simulate the hospital scenarios so that the robot can independently complete the transportation and recycling of "drugs" and "gurbeds". The simulated hospital scenario is a scaled "cubicle" and "channel", with "drug" and "gurbed" being the square and car model respectively. Since the site space and object size are very "mini", this puts high demands on the accuracy of robot movement and robot arm grabbing.

After 4 days of fierce competition, Hou Kunpeng and Tang Gaoyuan, who graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of Luohe Technician College in Henan, won gold medals in the mobile robot project competition. Ma Hongda won the championship in the plastering and partition wall system project, which made the Chinese team achieve a "zero" breakthrough in the gold medal in this event. Chinese players Wu Yixin and Zheng Xusheng, who participated in health and social care and CAD mechanical design projects, won 2 bronze medals.

Ma Hongda said in an interview with reporters after winning the championship that when it comes to plastering and partition walls, some people will feel that this "rustic" is difficult to reach the level of elegance.But my own experience proves that "three hundred and sixty professions come from top scholars every profession." "My country is a powerful country in science and technology and a big country in manufacturing. National development requires not only top scientific and technological talents, but also the hard work of generations of craftsmen. As a young craftsman, I must inherit the mantle of the 'old craftsman', learn skills thoroughly, and use what I have learned and can help the country's development." The "counterattack" experience of

player Tang Gaoyuan attracted attention. Before entering Luohe Technician College, Henan, he dropped out of school to work in the second grade of high school. Later, while studying at school, Tang Gaoyuan showed his talent in the mobile robot project, winning awards in provincial and national competitions of the project, until he represented China with his partner Hou Kunpeng in this competition and won the gold medal, realizing his life dream on the world-class stage.

Hou Kunpeng and Tang Gaoyuan said in an interview that the World Skills Competition highlights the pragmatic, persistent, and meticulous craftsman spirit of . After returning to China, they will be down-to-earth, serve the country with skills, and build a better future through hard work.
