＂The most beautiful worker＂ in the general secretary’s heart

Twenty days ago, on the bank of Yongding River in Beijing, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader shoveled soil to make pits, raised soil and cofferdams, lifted water and watered them, and planted many seedlings.

This scene overlaps with his "micro-lens" of carrying a shovel to do farm work in Liangjiahe, northern Shaanxi decades ago and participating in sand control work in Gulang, Gansu a few years ago, which reflects the consistent nature of the people’s leaders.

Coming from the working people, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader advocates labor and respects laborers. He said that model workers are outstanding representatives of the working people and the most beautiful workers.

In the spring of 2013, in an ordinary conference room of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the General Secretary sat down with 65 representatives of model workers from different industries and different periods from all over the country to have a heart-to-heart talk. He said, "Seeing everyone, I am in awe of the model workers, and the feelings of respecting knowledge and labor arise."

On that day, Liang Jun, who was rated as a national model worker at the age of 21, shared her dream of building Beidacang when she was young. The general secretary responded affectionately: "Your deeds are known to people of our age. The first female tractor driver in China, you are amazing. "

At this symposium, the general secretary expounded his thoughts on "nothing is difficult in the world". He pointed out: everything in the world is hard. The brighter the future, the more we need to work hard.

On November 24, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the National Commendation Conference for Model Workers and Advanced Workers and delivered an important speech.

Gansu Gulang Babusha Forest Farm also witnessed the general secretary’s respect for workers.

On August 21, 2019, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who came here for an inspection leaned over and turned over the sand with the staff of the forest farm, and soon opened a straight ditch more than two meters long in the sand.

Guo Wangang, a representative of the afforestation people and a national model worker, was also at the scene. He told the General Secretary that it is with this manual labor mode that "one tree, one handful of grass, and sand can be pressed against the wind", and three generations have accumulated more than 200,000 mu of sand control and afforestation.

"It is not easy for your generations to stick to it for decades." The general secretary said with emotion, "I want to learn from you." A few months later, when the supreme leader delivered a New Year message, a photo of him with the staff of the forest farm was placed on the bookshelf behind him.

Heroes come from the people, and models come from the masses.

Meng Tai, Defender of Blast Furnace, Wang Jinxi, Iron Man, Deng Jiaxian, Outstanding Representative of Intellectuals, Shi Chuanxiang, Blue-collar Expert Kong Xiangrui, Gold Medal Worker Dou Tiecheng, Iron Man Wang Qimin in New Era, Lei Feng Xu Hu in New Era and Knowledge Worker. …

This is a long list of names blurted out by the general secretary at a forum.

They, "do one line, love one line, specialize in one line and be good at one line." Their stories explain what a model worker is; Their struggle is the spirit of model workers.

On August 21, 2019, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was in Babusha Forest Farm, Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, and turned over the sand and ditched with the forest farm staff.

"Labor is the source of all happiness." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once said that the model workers’ spirit of "loving their posts and being dedicated, striving for first-class, working hard, being brave in innovation, being indifferent to fame and fortune and being willing to contribute" is a vivid embodiment of the great spirit of the times.

On the last day of April, 2018, the undergraduate class of model workers in China Institute of Labor Relations received a special reply from the "Supreme Leader". The general secretary wrote in the letter: "I am very happy to receive your letter." You have made outstanding contributions to the development of the cause of the party and the country, and you have been rated as a model worker. Now you are studying for further study. This is a praise for your hard work and selfless dedication, and it is also the concern of the party and the country for workers. "

Huang Baomei, a model worker who came out of the textile workshop, worked hard all his life to realize the dream of "the whole country is well dressed". A few years ago, the general secretary had a cordial conversation with her during an inspection tour in Shanghai, praising her as a "witness, participant and devotee" of national development.

Wang Lanhua, a model worker who grew up with the Republic, is called "Living Lei Feng" in the community. She said that when she is tired and hard, she often thinks of what the general secretary said, "socialism is done."

In today’s China, dreams come true one after another, which cannot be separated from every worker’s dream-chasing running.

From scientific and technological miracles such as "Shenzhou" flying and "Eye of the Sky" sounding, to major projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and to tough battles such as precision poverty alleviation and pollution prevention & HELIP; … All aspects of economic and social development have left the struggle footprints of model workers.

At an altitude of more than 40 meters, Zhu Shijie, a bridge crane driver, can always complete container loading and unloading quickly and accurately in the face of complex and changeable weather and ship types with different specifications.

On March 29th, 2020, on a rainy spring day, the General Secretary visited Chuanshan Port Area of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and Zhu Shijie was also on the scene. The accompanying inspector told the General Secretary: "At the end of 2006, when you personally started the lifting button of the 7 millionth TEU on this dock, he was the operator who lifted the container."

When he met Zhu Shijie, the general secretary told him to play a good role as a model worker and bring out more model workers.

The general secretary hopes that the model workers will inspire more people with their own energy, enterprising spirit and hard work, and encourage the broad masses of working people to strive to be strugglers in the new era.

On September 26, 2018, in China Yizhong Group, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked among the workers and had a cordial exchange with them.

He praised "everyone has made contributions, everyone is great" and "model workers are outstanding representatives of the working people and the most beautiful workers".

He is far-sighted, "providing all-round support for model workers to better display their talents and show their spiritual character, so that their labor skills, innovative methods and management experience can be widely spread."

He personally, "vigorously publicize the advanced deeds of model workers in the whole society and call on the whole society to learn from them and pay tribute to them."

He earnestly enjoined, "In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, everyone can make a contribution and gather into an overwhelming force. If everyone does one thing and does a good job, the cause of the party and the country can move forward."

… … … …

In the vivid and wonderful story of the new era, every worker is the protagonist.
