Zhao Xiuying, The Top Weaver, Has Won More Than 30 Honors Including Provincial Model Worker

She has worked for more than 30 years, and has never taken a day shift except maternity leave; She led the whole team to win the "No. 1 Weaving Player" of the whole factory every year... She is Zhao Xiuying, a model worker of Shandong Province and a retired employee of Jinan Guomian No. 2 Factory. "Ermian is my home." Talking about the rise and fall of the enterprise, Zhao Xiuying, who formally retired in 1998, said that her personal honor only represents the past, and now she most hopes that Ermian can "revive". After 60 years, she still wants to return to the familiar spin Workshop, listen to the sound of weaving.

Apart from more than 50 days of maternity leave in textile career, I have never taken leave after 30 years of work

On the 26th, in a neighborhood near Qilishan, the reporter met Zhao Xiuying, who was over 60 years old. "Now I often dream of weaving in the workshop when I sleep." Referring to her work experience in Ermian, 65 year old Zhao Xiuying opened her mouth. In 1965, Zhao Xiuying, only 16 years old, was recommended by the Neighborhood Office to work in the Second National Cotton Factory in Jinan. In the 1960s, Ermian had 2050 looms at the most, which was the largest cotton textile mill in Shandong Province at that time. "As soon as she entered the factory, she was assigned to the weaving workshop, which lasted for 30 years. At that time, it was very proud to be able to work in a large state-owned enterprise like Ermian. At that time, the idea was very simple, which was to work hard with all one's heart." Zhao Xiuying recalled that her daily work was to shuttle between looms to ensure the normal and accurate operation of the machine. In addition, in order to ensure smooth spinning, the weaving workshop cannot be ventilated. Working in such a noisy, humid and hot environment for a long time is a great test for textile workers. Even so, in her 30 years of work, except for more than 50 days of maternity leave, Zhao Xiuying never took the initiative to ask for a leave, and she was able to get the full attendance award issued by the factory every month.

"If I am on the morning shift, I usually go out from about 6:30 in the morning to take over the shift at 8:00 in the morning and leave work at 6:00 in the afternoon. In addition to 20 minutes of lunch time, I have been running in the workshop and have no leisure for a moment." Zhao Xiuying said that working overtime in this line is a common thing, and I basically go home every day. "I remember one time, because I didn't have enough sleep for a long time, I fell asleep on the bike when I was riding home, and finally I hit the curb of the road, and my face was bruised. Even so, I still went to work the next day."

It was with this down-to-earth and desperate spirit that she was elected as the team leader shortly after entering the factory. Later, the team led by her won the first place in the factory's output and quality evaluation almost every year.

Honor added to him has won more than 30 honors such as provincial model worker

"I have to work at all times." Zhao Xiuying recalled that during the Cultural Revolution, industrial enterprises were greatly impacted. When most of the employees stopped working, she still stuck to her position every day. After 1980, the production of Ermian resumed in an all-round way. It was from this year that the factory began to implement the working system of "four shifts and three operations". During this period, it was the process of Jinan National Cotton Plant No. 2 gradually reaching its peak. At that time, Ermian had more than 7000 employees. It was a large state-owned enterprise with an annual output value of more than 100 million yuan and profits and taxes of more than 10 million yuan. At that time, only 16 enterprises in the province could reach this production scale and level.

The enterprise prospers while the individual prospers. Zhao Xiuying has gained many personal honors during this period due to her excellent work in successive years. She was awarded the honorary title of model worker in Shandong Province in 1989, and her deeds were also included in the book "Model Worker Record of Qilu Workers in Shandong Province". During the interview, Zhao Xiuying moved out a stack of certificates of honor from the inner room. There were more than 30 large and small certificates of honor. "Most of these honors were obtained after the 1980s, and before that, there were some certificates issued by the factory.".

In addition to the title of provincial model worker, Zhao Xiuying has also won many honors such as the municipal "March 8th Red Bannerman", outstanding Communist Party member, and advanced activists at all levels of civilization. Behind each certificate is Zhao Xiuying's hard work and sweat. Zhao Xiuying's wife told the reporter that at that time, the selection of model workers was completely based on the individual output and the quality of the products produced, and each winner could be said to have real skills.

Although there are many honors, Zhao Xiuying has never made an award speech on the stage. "The provincial model worker conference arranged me to make a typical speech on the stage, but I really didn't have time to go. In addition, I was" timid "and bad at speaking, so I gave the opportunity to others. Although there were many honors, Zhao Xiuying never made an award speech on the stage. "The provincial model worker conference arranged me to make a typical speech on the stage, but I really didn't have time to go. Plus, I was' timid 'and was not good at speaking, so I gave the opportunity to others.".

The greatest wish is to "revive" the laid-off employees of the enterprise as soon as possible and lead a better life

In the early 1990s, after the impact of smashing ingots, the life of Ermian became more and more difficult. In response to the national policy of "reducing staff to increase efficiency" at that time, Ermian Textile Factory had to implement the "one size fits all" policy of layoffs. All employees over the age of 45 went home to wait for employment. At the age of 45, Zhao Xiuying was also forced to leave her job. "It's really boring to stay at home. At that time, she often went back to the factory to look at the factory and volunteered to help fellow workers work." Zhao Xiuying said that around 1996, because the factory was short of staff, she was re employed to work in the factory for more than a year, and formally retired in 1998. In the same year, Ermian compressed 141300 cotton spindles, completely ending 32 years of textile production and operation.

In the second year after the shutdown, Ermian built a green supermarket on the basis of the original factory building, with a business area of more than 20000 square meters and more than 500 employees. It was the second large-scale supermarket in Jinan at that time, and its annual average operating income was nearly 100 million yuan in the three years before its opening. Later, in order to accommodate more laid-off workers, Shandong Greenland plastic steel profile market and Shandong photographic equipment market were expanded. In Zhao Xiuying's opinion, these are all deep pains. According to her introduction, many young workers who were left behind in the "downsizing and efficiency increase" had been laid off at home after the collapse of Ermian, and the enterprise defaulted on a large amount of wages and medical expenses. These people are now living in difficulty.

Today, Zhao Xiuying's pension has been increased to about 2200 yuan per month, in addition to 80 yuan per month for model workers. "I hope that the coordination team can speed up the progress of assistance, let Ermian resume production, and help my difficult colleagues at the same time." Zhao Xiuying told reporters that she had a wish that she would return to the workshop again in her lifetime to listen to the roar of the loom.
