The Chinese Weaver Girl Who Sticks To Her Post In Reality

The 43 year old Lun Chun Xia is very talkative. Every time a reporter needs to interrupt her endless number of questions to ask the next topic, but unlike other women, her voice sounds extremely husky.

"Since I was 20 years old, I worked in a factory.

I used to have a good voice, but the noise in the textile mill was so loud that I had to shout everything, and then my voice became dumb.

The traditional hand weaving of Shijiazhuang in Hebei province has a long history, and the modern machine textile industry began in 1922. In the 50s of last century, the government set up the first to Sixth cotton textile mill.

Once upon a time, the cotton spinning industry in Shijiazhuang was famous at home and abroad.

According to Lv Chunxia, in the early 80s, at the beginning of the 80s of last century, the Shijiazhuang Changshan textile group of Hebei, which was located in Shijiazhuang, was called Shijiazhuang Textile Bureau. In 1998, the state-owned enterprises carried out "optimization combination". So Shijiazhuang first to five cotton mills were integrated together to set up the listed company, Shijiazhuang Changshan group. After raising more than 500 million RMB, the group also established a new company, Changshan Hengxin Textile Co., Ltd., Shijiazhuang.

"Heng Xin" means "sincere forever, pioneering and innovating".

It is very important to be a textile worker, because the intensity of work is strong, the environment is noisy, and it is hard to persist without perseverance and sincerity.

Lv Chunxia said, changing into a weaver's light green work uniform.

Coming to the spinning workshop, hot and humid air is coming. The loud roar of the machine gives people a feeling of silent world. Unless they shout loudly, they will only see their mouth moving.

Lv Chunxia walked big strides.

Hundreds of looms move up and down rhythmically, and the vibration of the looms seems to cause the ground to vibrate.

A group of women workers were shuttling in front of a loom or busy picking up their shuttle or busy checking the scrambled cotton thread.

Outside, howling north wind, the temperature is around 5 degrees Celsius, and people are wearing heavy coats.

Indoors, women workers wear short sleeved T-shirts.

The cotton thread needs certain temperature and humidity in the process of weaving, so the cotton thread will not knot.

This temperature is usually controlled at around 28-30 degrees Celsius.

In order to alleviate the sultry heat of workers, the whole factory installed 4 large air conditioners that looked like clocks at 1 meters in the vicinity of the wall. However, the effect of the 4 air conditioners was very small for a workshop with an area of 1000 square meters, tightly closed and hundreds of machines running.

The workers told reporters that the work of the cloth yard was the most difficult part of the whole weaving process, which was much easier than weaving yarn, weaving the cotton thread into a tube and sizing the cotton.

The process of weaving yarn is warping, sizing, reeds, cloth yard and finishing. After these 5 procedures, a thread is turned into a piece of yarn.

With the development of the times, the intelligentization of the equipment in the workshop is getting higher and higher. But after all, people need to operate it, and the number of workers is increasing.

"Everyone used to see 5 machines, and now everyone watches 15."

Wang Mian, a 30 year old worker, said.

Lv Chunxia, who has abundant work experience, told reporters that fewer and fewer people are able to settle down and learn textile technology now.

"Textile work is hard, but our salary is still around 2000 yuan a month for many years. Such income is not attractive compared with other industries."

The income is not high and the intensity of work is strong.

However, Lu Chun Xia said that the old textile workers who had worked for many years did not want to leave here to the private spinning factory area, even though the wages were higher, which could reach about 3000 yuan.

"State owned enterprises help us on five risks and one gold, and the management is more formal, which is a guarantee for us."

Lv Chunxia said.
