As the saying goes, "A hero does not ask where he came from, but wealth depends on his reason." A person's birth can only determine the bottom line of development, but not the upper limit of development. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, started from a young age and worked as a monk and a beggar, but eventually became a man of great wealth; Liu Qiangdong, the founder of JD.com, was born in a peasant family. The 500 yuan he spent to go to college was scrapped together by his family, but now he is Net worth tens of billions.
“Ten years of drinking ice can hardly cool the hot blood.” Like countless great figures who have walked out of thorns, today’s protagonist, Hong Jiaguang, also came from an ordinary background, and finally relied on his own efforts to become a Extraordinary.
1. Hard work for a long time will sharpen the will
“When the cold is not tired, the frost will not fall; when the temperature is not warm and the sun is not enough, the ice will not be released.” Behind successful people are long-term Continuous accumulation over time. For Hong Jiaguang, his starting point was lower than most people, and his accumulation took longer.
Born in a poor farming family in Shenyang, Hong Jiaguang’s parents could not afford their children’s education. The sensible Hong Jiaguang graduated from junior high school. After the nine-year compulsory education, he did not continue to high school, but chose to enter A technical school, working early to share the pressure on families. At that time, the education system of vocational and technical schools was not perfect, and the quality of teachers could not be compared with that of universities.
Hong Jiaguang was not willing to become an ordinary worker, so self-study became an important way for him to acquire knowledge. It was more than four hours' drive from Hong Jiaguang's home to the school. While other passengers were sleeping, Hong Jiaguang was reading eagerly. In this mobile library, Hong Jiaguang completed the study of four professional books, preparing for his own research and development in the future. Patented technology has laid a good foundation.
In the end, he graduated from the technical school with excellent results and entered AVIC Shenyang Liming Aviation Engine Co., Ltd. and became an ordinary professional worker. Here, Hong Jiaguang was able to get closer to his goal-to become A qualified craftsman, not limited to a small workshop.
2. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold
With his unwillingness to settle for mediocrity, Hong Jiaguang earned the title of "Desperate Saburo" in the workshop. When others were resting , he is studying how to make the machine run faster and better, and he is learning humbly while others are working.
At the turn of the millennium, the company had heavy tasks. Hong Jiaguang was accidentally hit on his right hand while working. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a "comminuted" fracture. However, he faced the persuasion of his family and the obstruction of his co-workers. , Hong Jiaguang resolutely chose to continue working, holding on to his job for two months with his broken right hand.
In addition to his own efforts, Hong Jiaguang's success is also related to his humble mentality. He does not have the hostility and arrogance of most young people. At that time, the most skilled and senior person in the workshop was Master Meng Xianxinmeng. According to Hong Jiaguang’s recollection: “When cutting internal threads, ordinary workers can only turn the lathe to 600 rpm. If it is faster, they will cut directly. Master Meng can operate up to 1,200 revolutions per minute without reversing the knife.”
Such excellent technology is the first step to becoming a great craftsman, and it also made Hong Jiaqing determined to become Master Meng’s apprentice. In the practice day after day, year after year, Hong Jiaguang has become "Master Hong" in the eyes of others, but gradually, he begins to have doubts about his profession - if he works in a small space day after day, Working in space, when can I truly realize my dream of becoming a craftsman of a great country? "Aviation" and "aircraft" are so far away from him.
With this thought in mind, Hong Jiaguang couldn't help but feel a little lost and depressed. "Those who are in authority are confused, but those who are watching are clear." The words of a master woke up the man in his dream. He told Hong Jiaguang: "A low-quality small part you process may destroy a large and expensive machine, and even affect the country's major projects." Engineering; don’t say that your position is monotonous and repetitive, and the work content remains the same every day, but the work standards and work quality can change every day.”
For the first time, Hong Jiaguang realized that his work has such extraordinary characteristics. Meaning, through each part, he saw the aircraft and the aerospace industry of the motherland. As a result, we embarked on the path of exploring technology more resolutely.
3. Serve the motherland and gain honor
The engine is the heart of the aircraft and a difficult problem that must be overcome in the aviation industry.
Once the connection between the blades and the blisk is not tight enough, it may cause cracks or breaks in the blades, or even cause a tragedy of aircraft crash and death. However, the precision grinding technology of blades has always been in the hands of a few countries, and the one who really overcame this problem was Hong Jiaguang's team.
For a skilled worker who does not have in-depth study of theoretical knowledge, doing such precise work is not an easy task. In order to make up for his lack of theoretical knowledge, Hong Jiaguang works during the day and reads at night. Professional books on aerodynamics, coupled with rich practical experience.
In the end, a mature set of precision grinding technology for aero-engine blade rollers was successfully achieved. More than five years of hard work and more than a thousand attempts were not in vain. The results of Hong Jiaguang’s team made my country’s technology on engine blades Another big step forward.
He became a real "aerospace man". In January 2018, Hong Jiaguang stood on the podium to receive the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Among the scientists and scholars, he was particularly eye-catching. Who would have thought that the young man who graduated from a technical school would one day stand on the podium for the highest honor in national scientific and technological research and development? Who knows how many days and nights he spent on this?
IV. Summary
We can see from Hong Jiaguang that one’s origin can only determine a person’s starting point, but not how far a person will go. The reason why Hong Jiaguang is able to succeed , has little to do with family, nor with academic qualifications. It all comes from him step by step. "If others are destined to stand higher than me from the beginning, then I will use a thousand times of dedication as a stepping stone for myself."
From a rural boy to a chief expert, Hong Jiaguang used his strength to write " The dual demeanor of "craftsmen of a great country" and "sons and daughters of heroes".
In addition, we can also gain inspiration from his changes in thought, "Ordinaryness creates greatness, and greatness comes from the ordinary." As human beings, we will inevitably fall into ordinary life. But even in the muddiest land, you have to look up at the stars. People are extraordinary because they have dreams.
Hong Jiaguang’s doubts about himself are also those of thousands of workers in ordinary jobs - how far am I from my dream? In fact, every one of you and every one of me is an indispensable "screw", doing extraordinary things in ordinary positions.
