　　People's Daily: Outstanding Representative of Modern Workers

　　Full-length article from People's Daily on 12th April gives an introduction to Xu Zhenchao's extraordinary deeds featuring brave sense in thinking and working. We draw a conclusion from his deed that Xu Zhenchao is an outstanding representative of modern workers, and the enterprising spirit and excellent character of modern industrial workers are concentrated in him.

　　The working class as the host of a country is the representative of advanced production force. Their status as host and progress are not static but dynamic, developing constantly. In the world today, the progress in high technology represented by computer technology improved the world economic structure greatly and influenced each section of economic field. Along with the development of reform, opening and modernization, the industrial workers in this new era must brave all challenges, perfect themselves constantly, absorb new knowledge, study hard, learn new skills and do their jobs well so as to adapt themselves to the new social situation and to further consolidate their status as host.

　　Xu Zhenchao is such a perfect industrial worker with strong sense of studying, innovative spirit, and advanced skills of new age. He loves his job, braves to make technical innovation, and has outstanding skills. He organized a perfect work team with Excellent Skills, Good Style of Work and High efficiency, created world topping work efficiency, and made extraordinary contribution in his common post. His deeds show the excellent character of the workers in the new age as well as the essential requirements of socialistic market-directed economy.

　　What to learn from Xu Zhenchao is his enterprising spirit that is very valuable in the current situation of China that highly skilled workers don't meet the requirements for rapid economic development. According to statistics, there are more than 70,000,000 skilled labors in China, including only 4% senior ones. But in developed countries, this proportion is 30% to 40%. Relatively low technical qualification of workers badly influenced the production efficiency and competitive power of China in a big degree. Research findings show that the rate of products meeting standards is 70% in China at present, and annual loss caused by bad assets is nearly RMB200 billion. By the late stage of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the total quantity demanded for skilled workers has increased 20% at least, and doubled for the senior ones.

　　It's an urgent requirement to train a large number of highly qualified labors and to set up rationally organized talented team for completing the construction of modernization and building affluent society. Funds, technology and management system all can be introduced in, but a large number of highly qualified labors with advanced skills have to be trained by us. On one hand, we must carry out the policies and strategies helpful to intensify the workers' skills step by step, crease favorable environment for their growth and give full play to the potential and capabilities. On the other hand, we must mobilize and encourage the workers to learn the studious and innovative spirit from Xu Zhenchao to exert all their powers to become useful talents.

　　What to learn from Xu Zhenchao is his brave spirit. He dares to challenge the new technology, to make innovation in technology and management, and to strive to the world top level. Innovation is constant force driving the society to develop as well as the tremendous force driving administration and business to advance. Today the technology is change with each passing day and the competition tends to more and more intensive. In this situation, both of the industrial workers in each field and all leaders and the masses should learn from Xu Zhenchao to study new knowledge, to dig into new technology, to grasp new skill, make innovation constantly, to catch up with the advancing step of the times, and to strive to a higher goal. Bu doing that, Chinese workers can hold their fates in hand, advance with the times, make contribution to the cheerful prospects of China and realize the value of their life in their respective posts.
