Worker's Daily - Wang Xinfang Dafeng, reporter of China Industrial Network

Facing more than 800 teachers and students off the stage and in front of the big screen, Guo Dongni thought of herself when she first entered the workplace four years ago, of herself sweating at the production site, and of herself when she led the team to win the "Hunan Furong Pacesetter Post" in the ninth round of "Furong Cup" competition for female workers in Hunan Province.

This is the scene of the first activity of the Women Model Worker's Lecture in Hunan Province a few days ago. For the first time, Guo Dongni, a post-90s generation, shared the stage with Yi Ran, a craftsman of the post-80s generation and a national model worker of the post-70s generation, Liao Liping, who she admired for a long time, and launched a "soul dialogue" with post-00s college students from Hunan Normal University and other universities.

"The times have given us the best stage for growth", three generations of female model workers expressed a common aspiration. The "Furong Cup" competition for women workers in Hunan Province, which launched the first round of competition in 1991, has been carried out for 33 years and has successfully held 9 rounds of competitions, is an important platform to promote the growth and success of a large number of female model workers, such as Yi Ran, Liao Liping, Guo Dongni, and becomes a loud brand leading women workers in Sanxiang to improve their quality and establish new achievements.

Women's achievements

"When we take off hard hats, we are just ordinary 'little girls', but when we put on work clothes and walk into the scene, we are sparkling' female soldiers'," Guo Dongni said. The northeast sister born in 1995, as the head of the machine vision and artificial intelligence algorithm research and development project team of Changsha Changtai Robot Co., Ltd., was recently shortlisted as the second Huxiang craftsman.

Take the scientific research "cold bench" out of the "heat effect". Guo Dongni led the "Women's Army" team, whose average age is less than 30 years old, to actively participate in innovation and efficiency creation activities such as women workers' technical innovation, "Five Primary Schools" competition, and overcame more than 100 technical problems and process bottlenecks in the construction of "smart factories" in the casting, cement, and textile industries, and created several industry firsts (sets).

Named after the hibiscus flowers that have bloomed all over Hunan, the "hibiscus cup" competition has become a platform to show the demeanor of women workers and set up a model for women workers. A large number of female model workers, such as Yi Ran, a craftsman from a big country, Liao Liping, a "female soldier" of Iron and Steel Power Grid, and Yang Fang, the "first female NC worker in Hunan", emerged from the group.

"Not a drop of sweat will be let down!" Yi Ran, an idol in Guo Dongni's heart and a craftsman from a great country, used this sentence to encourage the students below.

He joined the technical school to learn electric welding at the age of 15, joined CRRC Zhuzhou Vehicle Co., Ltd. at the age of 18, became an electric welding technician at the age of 23, became a senior electric welding technician at the age of 26, and became the most beautiful worker in the country, the national model worker, and a great craftsman in the country. Yi Ran's 24 years of welding career has made the welded seam reach 1200 kilometers. Sweat and scars have brought considerable benefits to the enterprise and won many "medals" for herself 。

In 2000, Yi Ran, who just joined the company, was invited to join the newly established female welding technician team. This honorary group, composed of all female welding technicians, has won the honors of "Furong Pacesetter Post" in Zhuzhou City and Hunan Province in the "Furong Cup" competition. She also later grew up to be the leader of the research team and was awarded the title of "Top 100 Hibiscus Stars" by the Hunan Federation of Trade Unions in 2004.

Hibiscus vies for blossom

"She always has a sense of responsibility for her post, a sense of enterprise for her career, a sense of crisis for her skills, and a sense of gratitude for her team." Standing on the stage, Liao Liping shared her growth experience.

From substation attendant to operation specialist, from front-line team leader to professional backbone. Adhering to the production line for 26 years, Liao Liping became a business card of Zhuzhou Power Supply Branch of State Grid Hunan Electric Power Co., Ltd.

In 2011, the company established a model worker studio named after Liao Liping. Since its establishment, the studio has obtained more than 200 patents and achievements, and trained more than 200 young people to become the backbone of the enterprise. In 2023, the studio test QC team will participate in the QC international competition to achieve a historic breakthrough in the first battle.

Focusing on empowering women workers to innovate and create efficiency, we will vigorously carry out innovation and efficiency activities such as women workers' technological innovation and "five small" competitions, promote the establishment of women model workers and women workers' innovation studios, and regularly display women workers' innovation and efficiency achievements. "Furong Cup" has become an important starting point for Hunan to promote the construction and reform of industrial workers.

"It is the 'Furong Cup' competition that gives me the motivation to keep learning and improve myself in my post," sighed Wu Qiong, an examiner in the operation management department of Jianglu Electromechanical Group Co., Ltd. She used to be a blanking worker. She practiced her skills in the "Lotus Cup" women workers' quality standard competition, and successively stood out in the sixth round of "Lotus Cup" competition and the provincial workers' skills competition. She was awarded the May Day Labor Medal of Hunan Province, Hunan Technical Expert and other titles.

Yi Ran has won all the winners of the annual skill competition of the factory in her first three years of work. Liao Liping has her own model innovation studio since she was in her early 30s... At present, young Guo Dongni looks back at traditional industries "with sweat" and tries to make workers sweat less with intelligence, Yi Ran studied how to turn welding skills into procedures and parameters for welding robots. Liao Liping led the team to empower the "messenger of light" with "algorithm".
