——Cultivate more skilled craftsmen and inherit skills
Among the players who have won gold medals in previous WorldSkills competitions, Song Biao is somewhat "different".
In 2017, when he was only 19 years old, he won the championship of the 44th WorldSkills WorldSkills Competition for Industrial Machinery and was awarded the Albert Vader Award.
The award has been well-known in the world for a long time and is known as the "Nobel of Skills". It was the first time that a Chinese person has won this award since its establishment more than 20 years ago.
How hard is it to win this award at the World Championships?
Song Biao told reporters that looking back, there were indeed many difficulties at the time: before the game, he went to the hospital due to stomach cramps due to nervousness, the environment during the game was unfamiliar, the language communication was poor, and the referee's error on the last day of the game resulted in the end of the game being longer than others. The contestant was half an hour late... But Song Biao finally completed the competition task successfully and won the gold medal with the accumulation of skilled technology and hard training in peace time.
"After receiving the gold medal, I thought the award ceremony was over. I was busy sharing the good news with my family and friends in the audience, and I didn't even hear my name called from the podium." Song Biao said, "I found out later, It turns out that there is also the Albert Vader Award. This award is awarded to the player with the highest overall score. Our team did not even dare to think about winning the gold medal before the competition, let alone this award. It can be said to be an accident. Joy."
After winning the award, Song Biao graduated from Changzhou Technician College in Jiangsu Province in August 2019 and chose to stay in the school to become a teacher of the Intelligent Equipment College.
Song Biao said: "I am very satisfied with my job. I love this profession very much. As a teacher who teaches and educates people, I can impart my knowledge and skills to my students, so that my students can have a good chance in various industries. It is very rewarding to become a skilled craftsman in the field of intelligent equipment.”
The WorldSkills Competition China (Guangzhou) Research Center recently launched the "Survey and Research on the Career Development of WorldSkills Competition Competitors" (hereinafter referred to as the "Survey and Research"), which shows that the proportion of WorldSkills competitors staying in school or teaching in the workplace after winning the award accounted for 73%. %, indicating that these relatively scarce high-skilled talents are highly valued by their localities, and their staying in school to teach will play an important role in the inheritance and development of skills.
Similar to Song Biao, Yang Jinlong, the champion of the 43rd WorldSkills WorldSkills Auto Painting Project, also chose to stay at the school to teach after the competition.
Today, Yang Jinlong is one of the outstanding teachers of Hangzhou Technician College and the first super technician in Zhejiang Province. He has successively won honorary titles such as "National Auto Repair Model", "Zhejiang Outstanding Innovative Talent Award" and "2021 National May 1st Labor Medal".
As the world's top expert in the field of auto painting, many companies hired him to "change jobs" with high salaries, but Yang Jinlong remained unmoved and stuck to the front line of teaching.
"In our industry, some colleges and some high-end enterprises have very good skills, but ordinary colleges and low-end enterprises are still weak in this regard." Yang Jinlong said, "I hope to cultivate more talents and improve the standardization of the entire industry. , process standards, etc., to promote the development of the industry better and better."
"This time I'm a coach"
——Expect the players to achieve better results in the 46th World Championship
What are the most important factors in winning a gold medal?
"In the competition, the technical level is undoubtedly very important, but the psychological quality and adaptability are also important." Hu Ping recalled that when she was training as a player, the coaches would conduct "digging" training on her, such as changing some different Easy-to-use machinery and equipment, or give her less desirable materials, etc., but also require her to finish with high quality.
"When I first started participating in the domestic trials, I was quite disgusted with the shooting of some media shots. When I found out about this, the coach would arrange for a photographer to take close-up shots of me. Gradually, I got used to it, and I was more able to do it during the competition. To concentrate and not be disturbed by the outside world." Hu Ping said.
Through hard training and psychological quality training, Hu Ping finally won the fashion technology project champion of the 44th World Skills Competition.
"The World Championship is not just a professional competition for me to improve my skills. During the process of participating in the World Championship, my overall quality has also improved." Hu Ping said, "Before the competition, I was just an ignorant ordinary person. Student, now I have gradually become a very confident person."
According to the survey and research, because the vast majority of the World Championship players are engaged in occupations related to the participating projects, and have further improved their practical ability, self-management ability, initiative and sense of responsibility during the competition, they have laid a good foundation for their career development. The basics.
Hu Ping was 18 years old when she participated in the competition. She was still a student of the clothing department of the Beijing Institute of Industry and Trade Technicians. Now, she has become the coach of the Chinese team participating in the fashion technology project of the 46th WorldSkills Competition.
"The most important thing right now is to do my job well, and impart my experience of participating in the World Championships and the technical skills I have learned to my players without reservation." Hu Ping believes that from a player to a coach, her identity has changed. It is of great significance, not only means the inheritance of the fine traditions of the World Championships, but also the inheritance of skills.
"Watching one young man after another rushing to the field, I feel like they are always young and always struggling. I look forward to my players achieving great results in this competition."
The reporter learned that many of the winners of the past five World Championships have become coaches of this year's World Championships.
Zhao Shubo, a gold medalist in welding at the last WorldSkills competition, became an honorable CCP member last year.
"I am now the assistant coach of the welding project of the 46th WorldSkills Competition. I hope to pass on the skills I have learned to more young people, so that they can also realize their skill dreams."
Relevant experts pointed out that the athletes of the World Championships completed the real work tasks of comprehensive enterprises in professional situations in accordance with the requirements of the World Championships. Participating in the competition and improving their competitive level are more effective, and they also play a role in leading and demonstrating skills.

——“Let more workers master a skill, this is the meaning of my work”
Unlike most contestants who stay in school to teach or become coaches, Zou Bin, a "post-95" boy, has been working in the front line and has become a top skilled talent in the industry after winning the masonry project award at the 43rd World Skills Competition.
Today, he has grown from a migrant worker back then to the project quality director of the General Contracting Company of China Construction Fifth Bureau.
"The World Championships have brought earth-shaking changes to my career." Zou Bin said, "Before, I never thought that I could use this skill to participate in world competitions, to be able to go abroad and win glory for the country."
"Our family is considered a masonry family. My father, uncle and uncle are all engaged in related work on the engineering projects of China Construction Fifth Bureau." Zou Bin told reporters that his father's generation has been in this industry for more than 20 years and has never participated in any competition or training. Participation by myself was also an opportunity obtained by chance because I was selected and recommended by the unit.
Behind the "accidental" is the inevitable result of Zou Bin's years of hard work.
What impressed the coach the most was that when he participated in the competition, Zou Bin used the wall as a work of art to create, and he concentrated on crafting it carefully.
For a masonry task with as many as 70 or 80 points, Zou Bin was still not satisfied with 90 points.
"This score, even an industrial robot with a super powerful brain can't get it. It can be said that he already has the ability to 'embroider' with bricks." The coach said.
Investigations and studies have shown that the effect of the World Championships has improved the social status of the players, and the national recognition has improved the economic benefits of the players.
Specifically, 29.8% of the contestants who participated in the World Championships and won awards were promoted to their skill level, 20.1% were recommended for employment, 17.4% were recommended for priority evaluation, and 10.6% were promoted to professional titles.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that the total number of skilled talents in the country has exceeded 200 million, and the total number of high-skilled talents has exceeded 50 million. However, the supply of skilled talents in the human resources market is still in short supply, and various skills competitions are being held. It is an important way to encourage young people to learn technology.
In particular, China has continuously achieved good results in the World Championships, which has enhanced the professional honor and self-confidence of skilled talents.
Zou Bin said that in the future, he will closely follow the development trend of the construction industry, do a good job in quality control and supervision, and continue to "glow" in his own post.
"As proposed in this year's "Government Work Report", let more workers master a skill and let three hundred and sixty liners come out in large numbers. I think this is the meaning of my work." Zou Bin said.
