Hail To Bayi! Forge Hard Nuclear Textile Corps

August 1st this year marks the 92nd anniversary anniversary of the founding of the Chinese people's Liberation Army. In the past 92 years, the PLA has realized the leap forward development of the army's high quality construction. Today, we want to pay tribute to a group of veterans in the textile industry. They bring the spirit of hard work and dedication in the army to the construction of enterprises and industries, showing the elegant demeanor of soldiers. At the same time, the contribution of Chinese textile and garment industry to the building of a strong army is not simply a single thread, but a support of the strength and belief of science and technology.

On the eve of the August 1 Army Day, the reporters went to Keqiao to listen to veterans review their winding and surging entrepreneurial stories, and to explore the current situation and development trend of Keqiao military textile enterprises.

Fighting spirit and "army"

They used to wear a uniform and stand guard in cold winds or scorching sun. They used their youth dreams to sweat on the training ground. After retiring, how did these former soldiers put the passionate youth?

Wang Yu, a Hubei native, is the oldest and oldest soldier among the respondents. "I worked as a soldier for 6 years, retired in 1991, and started business in Keqiao in 1995." From Hubei to Keqiao, the entrepreneurial road of a single person is not easy, but the former army life church Wang Yu firmly targets and unremittingly pursue. At the beginning of his career, Wang Yu took the list of other colleagues unwilling to make, no matter how small the order was, he took the spirit of "making every effort to do every rice cloth" professionally. It is precisely because of this hard work, the company has accumulated a large number of customer resources, has also achieved good reputation, so far, Wang Yu began to stride forward on his own business road. Now he has made his own fortune in Keqiao. There are two stores in the grey fabric market, namely, Tianyuan textile and Lei Tai textile. The main products are all kinds of chemical fiber and imitation silk products. Domestic sales and foreign trade go hand in hand, and customers have already spread all over the world.

Recalling the way of entrepreneurship, Wang Yu said: "entrepreneurship is hard and tortuous. The life of the army has trained my will. The experience of exploration has trained my ability, and has also opened up my vision and made my career more successful. I have no regrets in my youth.

Chen Haijiang of Keqiao also felt this way. After retiring from the army, Chen Haijiang took a fancy to the development potential of China's Textile City market and opened a shop in the joint market, Longxin cloth art. But this road is not easy to imagine, not only to other provinces and cities to run the list, the pressure of funds is to make him breathless. Looking back, Chen Haijiang still felt that it was a very hard day, but when he would give up, the experience of his troops in the army came to mind at first.

At the beginning of their business, Chen Haijiang started from a loom because of tight funds. In order to increase output, he often started early and was black and tired. He was not afraid of hardship or fear of fatigue. Day after day, the machine changed from two to three. He accumulated the first pot of gold in his life and made him a successful entrepreneur from a young veterans.

For the post-90s Gong Zichen, serving as a soldier has always been his dream. In 2016, when he was 20 years old, he left his hometown and enlisted in the army for 3 years. To this day, all the troops are vividly remembered and will always be remembered. After the retirement, Gong Zichen came to his father's business, the United States and the textile industry, starting from ordinary employees, doing everything and learning everything. From the initial introverted boy to the head of today's sales team, the army laid the foundation for his transformation.

In Keqiao, there are still many textile workers from veterans. They may still be in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. They may have become a leader in this industry, but the "soul" of soldiers has been carved in their hearts, and their passion is strong and invincible.

Military Textiles support for "army"

Behind the heroic soldiers, the support of textile and apparel people is indispensable. The development of the army is inseparable from modern equipment. Although the textile and garment industry can not provide weapons and equipment such as tanks and artillery, the military has its own contribution to the textile and garment industry. Military Textiles such as military uniform, gowns, combat training clothing and so on emphasize more on functionality and added value, which is also a key research object for military textile enterprises.

It is understood that there are two main categories of textile products applied to national defense industry. One kind of product supplies the logistic support system of the army, and the other kind of products are mainly used in military operations, training and military equipment matching. In the future, with the development of material science and textile technology, more and more high-performance Military Textiles will emerge.

Shaoxing Yang Shi Textile Co., Ltd., the main outdoor sports fabric, has close cooperation with the army. Zhang Bin, the head of the company, said: "the production and research and development of Military Textiles account for 20% of the total volume of the company, most of which should be used for military training clothes and raincoats." He emphasized that military textiles are different from ordinary textiles, and there is a huge difference between civilian textiles and civilian textiles, whether in material selection or in style design. "Military training clothing generally has the functions of moisture-proof and fire prevention, but in order to ensure comfortable wearing, it also needs to have breathability, which puts forward higher requirements for the fabric of training clothes."

In order to ensure product quality, Yang Shi textile will send new fabrics developed to SGS international testing organization for testing. "I am a veterans, I did fashion design after I retired, and then I turned to the field of outdoor fabric research, so I have a deeper understanding of military clothing materials. At present, we have certain technical strength in the functions of antibacterial, odorant, flame retardancy and UV protection. " Zhang Bin said.

As early as the late 70s of last century, in order to meet the needs of war, the Quartermaster Equipment Research Department began to search for a new type of martial textile material suitable for military use. After a wide range of screening and investigation, hemp is listed as the first choice of raw materials for Military Textiles because of its unique antibacterial, UV resistant, comfortable and breathable properties. The hemp leading enterprise, Zhejiang Jila Liang silk new material Limited by Share Ltd, has developed more than 10 years of multi-functional new hemp and fabrics, mainly for military towels, shorts, socks and other varieties. Huang Jinbo, the company's chief executive, said that the fabric made of hemp yarn has the characteristics of moisture absorption, ventilation, heat dissipation, bacteriostasis, radiation resistance, UV protection and sound absorption. It has outstanding performance and excellent results in practice.

The emergence of these multi-functional military textile fabrics represents the comprehensive development of China's textile industry, and Keqiao also contributes to its own strength. China has not only developed rapidly in terms of weaponry, but also has developed rapidly in military matching equipment. We expect these military textiles to better equip the armed forces and transform high technology into real combat effectiveness.
