  On August 20, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting in Gansu, came to Shandan Peili School for investigation.

  Looking back on history, Shandan Peili School is a vocational school founded in 1942 by the famous New Zealand social activist Rewi Alley and the British labor movement activist Mr. Ho Ke.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the school has been adhering to the tenet of "using both hands and brains, creating and analyzing", entrusting the beautiful vision of "cultivating new talents for the dawn of China", and has cultivated a large number of practical technical talents for the country.

  Recalling the scene of the exchange with General Secretary Xi Jinping, Zeng Xuecheng still remembers it fresh: "It was the words of the General Secretary that strengthened my determination to serve the country with skills."

  At that time, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the training teaching building to watch the ongoing vocational skills training such as mechanical processing and smart home design, and asked the students about their study and life:

  "What technical level can I achieve through 3 years of practical training?"

  "Is there any chance to intern in the factory?"

  "Do you want to work or continue your studies after graduation?"

  I heard that most of the students in the school are from the local countryside, and they can master a skill through study and training, and their employment is generally guaranteed. The general secretary is very happy: "This shows that through vocational training, the students' adaptability is stronger, and the 'hand-brain combination' is truly implemented. ' purpose of running the school."

  There is a special fate between General Secretary Xi Jinping and Shandan Peili School.

When he was working in Fujian, he had pushed companies to fund the school.

After working in the central government, he has also been concerned about the development of the school.

  Talking about the past, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "What I have done is trivial. Sending goose feathers a thousand miles reflects my feelings for Peili School."

  When leaving the school, the teachers and students sang the school song and said goodbye to the general secretary.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged everyone: "Vocational education has broad prospects and great prospects. Three hundred and sixty lines, and every line is a champion. I hope you will inherit the fine traditions, keep pace with the times, study hard, master more practical skills, and strive to become useful to the country. , the talents needed by the country. I support you!"

  With the encouragement of the general secretary, Zeng Xuecheng won the third prize of the car processing technology project in the subsequent Zhangye Secondary Vocational School Student Skills Competition.

  A year later, Zeng Xuecheng took the college entrance examination and was admitted to Lanzhou Modern Vocational College as a student majoring in CNC technology application.

  "I'm ready to work in a factory after graduation and give full play to my professional skills, and I'm full of expectations for the future." Zeng Xuecheng said with confidence, "If you take root in this industry, there are many opportunities!"

  Over the past two years, Shandan Peili School has also undergone continuous changes.

Teacher Zhu Jiabiao introduced that the school has moved to a new site, the teaching building and other infrastructure have been improved, and "the training equipment in the photos has also been updated."

  Countless skilled talents like Zeng Xuecheng are riding the east wind of vocational education in the new era, and gradually grow into skilled craftsmen with skills, education and comprehensive quality, injecting inexhaustible vitality into Chinese manufacturing.
