Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, the voice of a Chinese skilled worker

I have been engaged in technical work in a manufacturing plant for more than ten years.
When I calm down and think about the changes that have been experienced in the manufacturing industry over the years, I can’t help but feel a lot of emotions.
What happened to this? Why did our manufacturing become such a result?

Respected 10 years ago, looked down upon 10 years later

Ten years ago, the society treated our blue-collar workers with respect
.

Ten years later, the society's respect for skilled workers can be said to have disappeared
.

10 years ago, the salary was 4,000 yuan, and after 10 years, the salary was 6,000 yuan

Ten years ago, the monthly salary of many white-collar workers was around 2,000 yuan.
At that time, the skilled workers in the factory could get around 4,000 yuan a month
.

The subsequent wage increase was not as good as one year, and wages were cut during the period when the manufacturing industry was extremely sluggish
.

10 years ago, apprentices asked for masters, 10 years later, masters asked for apprentices

　　Ten years ago, an apprentice in a factory must respect the master
.

　　Now the situation is very different.
Young people now enter the factory as apprentices.
They are like uncles, not to mention respect, and they will complain that the master does not teach him
.

　　Use domestic machine tools 10 years ago and imported machine tools 10 years later

　　Ten years ago, many of the machine tools used in the factory were made in China.
Although there was still a gap in technology compared with the international ones, the machine tools made at that time were really of good quality and durable
.

　　Nowadays, we can go to factories in various places to see, the higher-end factories are all imported machine tools from Japan, Germany, and Switzerland
.

　　I learned technology 10 years ago, and practiced my mouth 10 years later

　　10 years ago, it was the nature of skilled workers to contemplate and learn new technologies
.
Technology is like personal face.
If there is a problem that can't be solved well, the skilled worker will feel very faceless and will definitely bite the bullet and look for a solution
.
At that time, everyone was willing to sum up work experience.
There were many practical industry books on the market for reference, and you could also see highly technical papers in professional magazines
.

　　Nowadays, it seems that there are skilled workers with different divisions of labor in the factory, but in fact all of them have a single skill and are not proficient in a single situation
.
Many people no longer love technical work, but just mess around, because they have no plans to do technical work for a long time
.
Everyone is more keen to engage in interpersonal relationships and flatter the leaders
.
In the company, people who are good at flattering and talking are more likely to be promoted and reused.
These are the shortcomings of skilled workers
.
The technical knowledge of the industry is also worthless, and no one wants to summarize the work
.
The technical books on the market can hardly be read anymore, far away from reality.
How many papers in those magazines are still useful? Made out of nothing, complicating simple things.
.
.
Now there is still a Chinese manufacturing industry.
How many experts in research and development technology, what problems did these experts solve? Why can't we get those foreign technologies?

　　The spirit of craftsmanship 10 years ago, the spirit of entertainment 10 years later

　　Ten years ago, craftsmanship was the basic professional quality of a skilled worker
.
The skilled workers in the factory have a strong sense of responsibility, and we will think about making one thing better
.
The management system set by the factory does not need to be emphasized at all, everyone will work from the heart
.

　　Nowadays, everyone has become very slick, and the responsibilities are clearly divided in advance at work, and the work that can be shied away and can be played will never be taken by oneself
.
Keep improving and improving work is something that leaders must consider and promote.
It is estimated that there are only a few people who can study technology
.
Technology is very boring.
This is an era of full entertainment.
Technical workers are already more interested in discussing gossip news, Korean TV dramas, and celebrities
.
I really don’t understand.
The skilled workers are really working and supporting the country’s real economy, but we are getting more and more embarrassed.
What exactly did the stars and actors in the entertainment industry create, or say, what? What great spiritual civilization has been created that allows them to easily hold hundreds of millions of assets?

　　It was very fulfilling 10 years ago, but lost 10 years later

　　Ten years ago, we worked hard in the manufacturing industry and made contributions to society.
We also felt fulfilled and proud
.

　　Ten years later, we are exposed to the heat and suffering
.
We are confused, we are a group of people who have been forgotten by society, lacking a sense of security, and can't rest our minds to continue to study our technology
.
I really want to leave the manufacturing industry, but after struggling all the way, I can't bear to give up, because the blood of technology is flowing in the bones of our generation of manufacturing people
.

　　These words from the heart, we skilled workers hope to use new media to express the voice of the industry, not to spread negative energy, we believe that only by letting the upper level in China hear these private voices from the manufacturing industry, can we better Deal with these sounds
.

　　Today, we have seen the “Made in China 2025” proposed by the government and “promote the spirit of craftsmanship”, and we have seen CCTV start to report on the manufacturing industry.
All these have given us manufacturing people a new dawn
.
We hope that those experts, scholars, and officials who formulate policies that are related to the destiny of the manufacturing industry can deeply understand the suffering and pain of the manufacturing industry at the grassroots level, and stop talking good words and empty talks, and formulate some plans to break away from the industry
.
We hope that in the near future, we will see manufacturers with bright smiles, we hope to see manufacturing companies full of vitality, and we hope to see a strong "Made in China"!
