Yamariva who dreams high in the sky: writing a different kind of youth with tenacity

Yamariva (our young people here)
who dreams high in the sky

In early summer in Taiyuan, Shanxi, it seems that there is more rain than in previous years.

Sitting in the cockpit of the 60-meter-high tower crane, Jikdafu nervously watched the hook directly below. This is a construction site in Qingxu County, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, where the voice of Jike Dafu sounded simultaneously on the walkie-talkie of five tower cranes. He instructed the team members: "Be especially careful on rainy days, the brake pads are easy to slip, go to the top to check the 'drum' in a while, once the cable rope 'degrooved', the light wire rope will be scrapped, and the heavy will cause an accident..."

The young man in front of him, who is not tall and meticulous in his work, named Jike Dafu, is a tower crane driver and operation team leader of a tower crane branch in Shanxi. Taking off his work clothes and hard hat, he is a big boy who loves to laugh again. Workers like to call him "Dafu".

Like his WeChat name "Run Youth", twenty-six years old is the age of youth blooming. Jik Dafu chose to be 100 meters in the air and "soar through the clouds" in the one-square-meter cockpit, writing a different kind of youth with tenacity.

One

Ten years ago, Jike Dafu, who had just arrived in Shanxi from Dajue Village, deep in the Daliang Mountains in Sichuan, could not have imagined that one day he would be awarded such an honor as the "May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth".

Dajue Village is separated from the "cliff village" Aturler Village just across the mountain. When he was studying, Jikdafu took his sister every day and walked for two or three hours to another village next door to go to school, and when they encountered difficult cliff roads, they climbed hand and foot. Jikdafu said with a smile: "Now climbing the tower and lifting ladders every day is also the foundation laid when I was a child. ”

"At that time, we sat on a bench in class, and we ate lunch at school, and the principal cooked us rice and sauerkraut soup." At that time, even the firewood for cooking was "crowdfunded" by the students' homes.

Jikdafu's mother, a hardworking and kind mountain village woman, deeply influenced Jiqdafu with her words and deeds. "Daliang Mountain is big and our village is in the mountains, which is very remote. When encountering people passing by to ask for water, the mother would pour tea for the visitors. She said to me, 'Whoever comes is a guest. Jikdafu said.

Two younger sisters were born one after another, and the financial burden became heavier for the Jikh Dafu family, who lived on farming. Sixteen-year-old Jik Dafu began to wander the outside world.

In 2013, Ji Kedafu came to Shuozhou, Shanxi Province with his fellow villagers, and that was the first time he walked out of Daliangshan. The land of Yanbei is arid and has little rain, and winters are extremely cold. That winter, Jiqdafu, who had just arrived in a strange environment, sweated on the construction site during the day and quietly wiped his tears under the covers at night.

What Ji Kedafu didn't know was that his mother, who was not worried, also came to Shanxi. Seeing his mother suddenly appear, Jik Dafu cried out with a "wow". In the following year, the two worked in a brick factory, Dafu moved bricks, and his mother followed suit. A year later, the mother and son saved 15,000 yuan and returned to the village. The family used the money to buy a small courtyard in the village near the township, which made life much easier.

At the beginning of the second year, Jikdafu drove full power, following the engineering team to work non-stop on various construction sites. In that year, Jik Dafu met the "noble" in his life - tower crane driver Gao Jianquan.

There is a blind spot during tower crane operation, and ground staff need to contact the tower crane driver through the walkie-talkie to assist in prompting. The work of this prompter is generally carried out by the "small worker" of the construction team.

Jik Dafu is this "little worker". At that time, looking up at Master Gao at a height of 100 meters, Jikda Fu was full of envy. While eating and resting, Jik Dafu stepped forward and asked all kinds of questions he was curious about: "What should I do if I encounter a windy day above?" What should I do if the hook hook is unstable and something falls? ......”

Gao Jianquan, who is also a post-90s generation, has a good impression of Jik Dafu, who speaks Mandarin a little hard but is full of wit. A few months later, the site project was over, and the two who had tacitly cooperated for a long time had a "farewell meal". Gao Jianquan told Jike Dafu: "If you want to learn tower cranes in the future, I welcome you here at any time!" ”

Later, Jikdafu worked on the assembly line of the machinery factory for another two months, but he has always been obsessed with opening tower cranes. Jik Dafu contacted Master Gao on QQ, and he was straight to the point: "Can I learn to open a tower crane with you?" He thought that if Master Gao did not agree, he would go over first and learn without making money. Unexpectedly, the reply over there was very crisp: "Come on!" I just need help. ”

As a result, Jik Dafu became Master Gao's "little follower". In the dormitory, the master sleeps on the lower bunk, and he sleeps on the upper bunk; On the tower crane, the master worked in front and he watched from behind. After studying standing for more than a month, Jik Dafu sat in the driver's seat, and the master was next to him.

"Don't let your apprentice do it, delay everyone's efforts!" On the intercom, the ground personnel were booing. As soon as he sat in the driver's seat, Jik Dafu's brain was blinded. It seems simple, really sitting there and starting to operate, he found that his brain was not enough - front and back, left and right, up and down, a total of eighteen gears in six directions, the right hand is responsible for taking off and falling, and the left hand is responsible for the luffing rotation. When these actions are combined, it is really not that simple to achieve "stable, accurate and fast"!

Jikdafu was born with a strong heart. When others come down to rest at noon, he operates on it, and when others leave work at night, he stays on it. During his internship period of more than a month, Jik Dafu often sat in the high-altitude cockpit for a day, "afraid to drink water, take a slice of bread to get hungry." More time, he pondered: how can he use the inertia of the "big arm" to predict the position in advance? With what pace, can solve the "depression angle" error?

It is also because of this intention, the practice of opening the tower crane, Jiqdafu has made rapid progress. In just one month, he was able to operate the tower crane independently, and in less than half a year, he successfully passed the company examination and became a qualified tower crane driver.

In the future, Jike Dafu's skills have been constantly improving, and he has frequently won awards in skill competitions at different levels, and has successively won honorary titles such as "Three Jin Technical Expert", "Shanxi Province May First Labor Medal", "Shanxi Province Special Model Worker" and "National May Day Labor Medal". In 2023, Jiqdafu was awarded the "May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth".

Anyone who has seen Jik Dafu is impressed by his bright eyes. No matter how many honors he later achieved, he was still the sincere and clear Yamariva.

At an altitude of forty meters, his arms began to tremble. I should have grabbed the ladder along my elbow, but because my forearm was sore, I had to climb up the ladder with my elbow on the contrary. Looking down, my heart is even more "clicking", and I dare not move with my hands clasped - a spiral channel composed of steel rings leads straight to the ground, and there is no attachment to rely on except for the safety rope. The "sting" sound of clothes scratching, the "bang" sound of the helmet hitting the steel ladder, and the "whistling" sound of the wind pouring into the helmet make people more nervous.

One click, two clicks, climb up, and after twenty minutes, finally come to the twelve-story tower crane work platform. The space in the cockpit is very tight - this is a "large glass cover" that opens at 270 degrees, only about one square meter, and there is no space beyond the driver's seat and handlebar, and even the feet have to step on the front windshield. The wide field of view in front of you is terrifying.

This is how Jikdafu felt when he first boarded the tower crane. Now he is already at ease: "Get used to it." Master asked me to remember one thing – 'Don't look down'. ”

After sitting firmly in the cockpit, the motor below starts, "Let's go!" In the "buzzing" sound of the big arm turning, the person's body also changes direction. From the ground, the speed of the big arm rotation is not fast; But in the air, there is quite a feeling of "flying with the wind". With the two-hand pusher control, the hook falls precisely in front of a cement tank on the ground. This kind of action is done hundreds of times a day, lifting hundreds of tons of materials to all corners of the construction site.

"Before each movement, you have to go through it in your head and think about which gears you need to use, whether to go up and down first, and where the hook should slow down." Jik Dafu said: "It's the same as learning Mandarin at the beginning, first simulating and silently reciting it once, and then learning it will be a lot more 'smooth'. ”

Tower cranes are also constantly improving. The previously opened tower crane did not have a "reverse gear", and the deceleration was all based on experience, and the braking was achieved by tapping the opposite gear. Jik Dafu said: "Now the tower crane cockpit has a digital frequency conversion gear, blind spots and video images for reference, intelligent equipment makes driving a lot easier." ”

Jik Dafu participated in the skills competition of the tower crane branch for the first time and won the second place. Yan Hong, the chairman of the company's labor union at the time, admired the boy and sent him new clothes and shoes every once in a while. She encouraged Jikdafu: "Don't look up to others, you are also a landscape. ”

This sentence, Jik Dafu remembered until now. Subsequently, Jike Dafu won the second place in the professional group of the Shanxi Yijian Skills Competition. The reason why it is the second place is because Jikdafu is "seriously biased" - he won the first place in practice, but his theoretical results were very poor.

Jikdafu was unwilling and determined to make up for the shortcomings. When he represented Shanxi Yijian in the fourth vocational skills competition for employees in the construction industry in Shanxi Province, Jiqdafu used a stupid kung fu - he read the thousand questions in the question bank over and over again, and memorized the correct answers. Looking back at that time, Jik Dafu felt that it was worth it: first memorize, and then learn and "practice" as you go.

In the field of tower crane driving, "hard work" is also inseparable from "eyesight" and "hand power". In the practical part of this competition, I encountered the "hard bone" of "vertical running hitting the standard block". The requirement of this project is that the tower crane driver pulls the boom back and forth through the operation lever, and the heavy objects suspended under the boom continuously and accurately hit the standard blocks of different heights on the ground, so as to knock down but the heavy objects do not touch the obstacle bar next to it.

"The error cannot exceed ten centimeters." Before the game, Jik Dafu communicated with his master Gao Jianquan and others about the project, "Hitting ten times in a row, if you don't touch other places, it's a full score." "After work, Jik Dafu practiced over and over again in the mock examination room of the construction site.

Because he was well prepared, Jikdafu showed composure. The players who appeared in front were deducted points for operational errors. By the time he arrived, he took a deep breath and drove without distraction, with a flawless set of movements, and scored the highest score of the game. Subsequently, in the "S corner" and "fixed height parking" and other events, Jik Dafu passed the level perfectly, and finally won the first place in the special category of the competition.

Three

Jikdafu often said: "The more you work, the more you are afraid, and the more you understand, the more worried you are." ”

Once, Jik Dafu, who was on the tower crane, watched the tower crane on the construction site next to him, and due to the unstable hook, the heavy object fell directly from tens of meters in the air, smashing the tricycle on the ground to pieces. He couldn't help but be afraid: "It's only more than one meter away from people, it's terrible!" ”

Later, Jik Dafu sent a long voice in the team group, reminding everyone to pay attention to safety.

In March last year, Shanxi Yijian Datong Branch sent Qu Zisheng to the construction site where Jike Dafu is located to work as a foreman. The first time they met, the two had a conflict.

Construction began years later, and the new tower crane on the construction site was just erected. According to the custom, Jik Dafu had to do a safety check first, but Qu Zisheng was anxious to work: "You take a simple look, no problem we will start." More than two dozen guys are waiting, and the temporarily hired crane will also cost a lot of money a day, but it really can't work, can't you check while working? ”

At that time, Qu Zisheng did not understand Jik Dafu's character, and he was notoriously "ruthless". "If you don't check it thoroughly, I dare not use it for you." With that, Jik Dafu climbed onto the tower crane. Whether the screws are loose, the protective fence is not secure, and the gear switch is stable or unstable, he confirms them one by one, and finally tries to hang them again. After a preliminary examination, it took three hours, and it was dark.

Not to mention the new co-workers, compared to Zhen'er, Jik Dafu is not polite to the master Gao Jianquan.

On the construction site, as long as the tower crane stops, the hook must be anchored. At noon one day, Gao Jianquan did not fix the hook in time, and was just bumped into by Jik Dafu. Jikdafula lowered his face and said, "Master, don't take chances." "Okay, okay, pay attention next time." Gao Jianquan knew his own losses.

Being on call is the norm for Jikdafu. "Before Jikdafu leaves the construction site, he will settle in in advance. Sometimes materials arrive at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night at the construction site, and I make a phone call, and he arrives immediately. In order not to delay the progress, he often used everyone's lunch time to overhaul the tower crane. After a few contacts, Qu Zisheng gave a thumbs up, "Don't look young, do things really steadily." ”

"What kind of person you follow, what kind of person you will become. I had to tell my team that that's what I did. "Every month's self-inspection record form, Jikdafu is the first to send back. Quarterly assessment, the company has more than 30 teams, and the team of Jiqdafu is in the top three every time.

Jik Dafu walked out of the mountain and did not forget the mountain. He encourages young people in his hometown to learn skills. Under his leadership, more than 30 young people walked out of Daliangshan.

In February this year, Jike Dafu introduced fellow Jike Tixi to Taiyuan to learn to open tower cranes. Eighteen years old this year, when he first arrived at the construction site, he did not speak Mandarin very smoothly, and he was stuck several times in a sentence, which could only be concealed with a shy smile. Jik Dafu knows his difficulties: "Seeing him is like seeing yourself back then." In order to get started with the Jik body mat as soon as possible, Jik Dafu followed him up and down the tower crane, taught hand-in-hand, and shared his experience with him without reservation.

A few days ago, there was another windy day. Once, after the Jicke mat lowered the steel bars, the wind stirred the four wire ropes together, causing the hook to spin in place. The Jik mat did not realize the seriousness of the problem and still pushed the rod ready to lift the hook. The situation is urgent, if it continues to lift, the light will cause the wire rope to break and scrap, and the heavy may fall and cause personal injury.

Jik Dafu, who was sitting in the back, immediately grabbed the lever. While controlling the hook, he repeatedly lifted and lowered the wire rope, idling a few times, while opening the doors and windows and observing the situation of the drum. After trying and trying, the rope was finally untied. Jikdafu's emergency response taught Jik a lesson. "In the future, I will face various complex situations, and I must practice my basic skills solidly." The Jik mat is also very hard-working, and I can operate independently after studying for a month.

In recent years, Jiqdafu has received more and more attention. From walking out of Daliangshan to entering the Great Hall of the People to receive the award, from a small construction worker to a business backbone, in the eyes of many people, Jiqdafu's experience is indeed a bit legendary.

"There are some things that you may feel out of reach, but just try to do them. When I first arrived in Shanxi, I didn't expect to achieve such results. Facing the halo, Jikdafu looked more forward, "This is not the end, it is a new beginning." ”

"What are your plans for the future?" On all occasions, Jikdafu has never escaped this problem.

"I didn't think that far. Grasp every minute, every opportunity, step by step, and naturally there will be good results. ”

The simple answer is like his own.

In fact, most of the world's truths are simple, the key is to do it, and insist on doing it.
