Worker's Daily - China Industrial Network Reporter Zhang Shiguang
"Auntie, why is the water cut off? Is it in arrears..." Sun Ran, a grid member of Xinxing Community, was stunned when he walked into Aunt Zhao's home in Xinxing Community, Xinhua Street, Datong District, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province a few days ago.
Aunt Zhao, who had just called her to "ask for help", said with a smile, "I'm going to give you a surprise and wish you a happy Labor Day." After that, she took out a small red flower and put it on for Sun Ran. Sun Ran's eyes turned red.
"Send you a small red flower" is an activity planned by the Daqing Federation of Trade Unions on the occasion of this year's "May Day" International Labor Day for front-line workers. Before that, Daqing always carried out the activity of "looking for the most beautiful workers around" in the city, and Aunt Zhao's family reported Sun Ran's name quietly.
"This Labor Day, we want to send a small red flower to ordinary front-line workers." Xia Xia, the minister of the Publicity, Education, Sports and Sports Department of Daqing Federation of Trade Unions, told reporters that the Federation of Trade Unions presented a small red flower to 3000 front-line workers throughout the city in recognition of the workers who have contributed to the development and construction of this city.
The reporter saw that this small red flower was composed of five heart-shaped petals, surrounded by the words "Labor is the most glorious" on the red disc in the middle. Below the petals were two steel streamers.
"These five heart-shaped petals represent the ingenuity, confidence, perseverance, patience and sincerity of workers in all walks of life. Among them, there are poems written by literature lovers praising workers, calligraphy works and straw paintings created by calligraphy and art lovers, as well as hand-painted pictures of primary school students.
At the same time, Daqing City has always collected 450 volunteers throughout the city to send the small safflower and the collected prizes to teachers, environmental sanitation, traffic police, doctors and other front-line workers. In addition, the Daqing General Manager also carried out the theme activity of "Honor you with a dish from your hometown to accompany you to a happy festival", and the winners can receive a special dish with a small safflower.
Liu Li, a national model worker, a craftsman from a big country, and an oil worker from the Second Oil Production Plant of Daqing Oilfield, who had worn big red flowers on the national podium for many times, also received a small red flower presented by her colleagues. "As a worker, I am encouraged to be recognized by everyone," said Liu Li.
