  Walking into the national patriotism education base of Fengtai Locomotive Depot, a subsidiary of China Railway Beijing Bureau Group Corporation, the "Mao Zedong" locomotive exhibition room, a "Wall of Honor" comes into view. name.

  In the past 76 years, the "Mao Zedong" locomotive has spanned the three eras of steam, internal combustion, and electric power, and has undergone five locomotive changes. 13 drivers and 184 flight attendants.

As Wang Zhenqiang said, behind this group of figures showing strength and confidence, the word "inheritance" is extremely important, which is why the "hero" locomotive group can honorably walk out of the five party representatives.

Unique "Induction Ceremony"

  Whenever a newcomer joins the group, the "Mao Zedong" locomotive group has three special "induction ceremonies": one is to visit the "Mao Zedong" locomotive exhibition room, the second is to send a copy of "Mao Zedong Selected Works", and the third is to carry out on the anniversary. traditional education.

  What does this unique "induction ceremony" mean?

Wang Zhenqiang said: "Inheritance, the first thing is to let the red genes of this 'leader locomotive' be passed on from generation to generation."

  On September 16, 2005, Wang Zhenqiang saw the "Mao Zedong" locomotive for the first time - a Dongfeng 4D diesel locomotive No. 1893. The bright red flowers set off the giant golden head of Chairman Mao Zedong's car emblem, shining brightly.

In an instant, he was deeply shocked.

  "I worked hard for three years. After strict selection and assessment, I finally entered the 'Mao Zedong' locomotive crew and became a newcomer. This is an honor!" Wang Zhenqiang said.

  From the newcomer to the driver, Wang Zhenqiang has experienced ten years.

On December 26, 2018, he honorably became the thirteenth captain of the "Mao Zedong" locomotive group.

He attributes his growth to "the power of inheritance".

  What is "the power of inheritance"?

From the official name on October 30, 1946, the railwaymen under the leadership of the Communist Party of China drove the "Mao Zedong" railway locomotive through the smoke and war to make extraordinary achievements, to witness the development of China's railways from small to large, from weak to strong, The eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed railway network is galloping, inheriting, and bursting with majestic power from the past, present and future, and more profoundly practicing the "Mao Zedong" of "serving the motherland, being loyal to duty, working hard, and always being a pioneer" Spirit.

Special "brake handle"

  "In December 2018, I took over the heavy brake handle from my master and the twelfth driver, Liu Yufeng. At that moment, I was so impressed!" Wang Zhenqiang sighed.

  The "brake handle" in Wang Zhenqiang's mouth is the handle of the locomotive brake.

  "For our previous drivers, the moment we handed over the 'brake handle' means that there is a new inheritor of the spirit of the 'Mao Zedong'; after taking over the baton, we must run well for the next journey." Wang Zhenqiang said.

  Inside the "Mao Zedong" locomotive, the words "Drive a leader's car and be a leader" are very eye-catching. In Wang Zhenqiang's view, this is a reminder and a requirement.

  "Whenever the locomotive crew is driving this locomotive, they strictly abide by the discipline of 'don't lean on the seat, keep your eyes away from the front, keep your hands away from the brake handle, don't speak in the face, don't make tea modestly, and don't eat at the same time'." Wang Zhenqiang said , which is the "six nos" safety value multiplication method strictly followed by the "Mao Zedong" locomotive to ensure safe driving.

  In the interview, Wang Zhenqiang also revealed the secret of Master Liu Yufeng's "devil-style teaching": stand a small wooden stick on the console of the cab, and the continuous operation of the locomotive requires that the wooden stick does not fall over during operation; A cup of water is required not to spill a drop of water, so as to ensure the stability and comfort of the train.

  "I thought it was incredible at the time, but Master asked that we must do it, so we practiced over and over again. Unexpectedly, we really succeeded!" Wang Zhenqiang said happily.

  There are also a series of small inventions and small creations that are "unbelievable": relying on the innovation studio, the "Mao Zedong" locomotive crew actively carries out research on key issues, technical transformation, and research and development of VR locomotive interaction for the problems of safe driving, locomotive quality, and smooth handling. More than 10 innovative achievements, such as the type drill system, ensure transportation safety, save costs and create benefits.

The "locomotive" in the locomotive

  On the eve of the opening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Wang Zhenqiang received a call from the 86-year-old seventh driver, Chen Fuhan.

  "Master told me that as a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You must perform your duties seriously, study hard, and keep in mind the original intention and mission of our 'Mao Zedong' people." Wang Zhenqiang said that when he is wearing a uniform, As I strode into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, these words lingered in my ears repeatedly.

  "The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to speed up the construction of a strong country in transportation, which not only boosted our spirit, but also pointed out the direction for our next work." Wang Zhenqiang, who returned to work, immediately told his colleagues They talked about their "Twenty Big Times".

  Simple at first, now huge.

What is the mission of the hero locomotive on the new journey?

Wang Zhenqiang replied: "We must inherit the spirit of the 'Mao Zedong', keep in mind the oath of 'Always open a safe car', lead the locomotive crew members to charge forward as always, and continue to write a new legend of heroic locomotives on the railway line, and be a good new one. The new journey of the era is the 'locomotive' of perseverance and courage."

  At the end of the interview, Wang Zhenqiang said happily: "In November 2022, the continuous safe running of the 'Mao Zedong' locomotive will exceed 12 million kilometers, creating a new history. This is the first 'answer sheet' to be submitted by the entire crew on the new journey.
