Continue the spirit of model workers and forge ahead in the great era

　　Every year, when the "May 1" International Labor Day comes, a number of national May 1 labor awards and medals winners step onto the podium to receive recognition. They come from all walks of life and are outstanding representatives of hundreds of millions of working people. The struggle history of the Republic embodies the sweat of Qian Qian’s tens of thousands of laborers who work hard, forge ahead, work hard and work hard. As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Labor has created the Chinese nation, created the glorious history of the Chinese nation, and will certainly create a bright future for the Chinese nation."

　　Labor is a necessary condition to promote the progress of human society and an important way to create social value. In the glorious decade, we completed the historical task of getting rid of poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, and achieved the goal of the first century. A small step forward in history is a big step for countless workers to gather together. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the diligent and intelligent people of China, who are not afraid of hardships and difficulties, have gathered great strength with ten years of honest labor, on the road of smooth logistics and in the vast and mysterious outer space.

　　Labor is the source of all happiness and the only way to realize the value of life. The new great journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way has provided valuable opportunities and a broad stage for the broad masses of working people. Workers from all walks of life have closely linked the value of life with the fate of the party and the country, emerged generations of model workers, and composed the colorful music of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　The times call for responsibility, and the mission inspires people to forge ahead. From Wang Jinxi, an iron man who "would rather live less than 20 years, but also win big oil fields desperately", to Gu Songfen, a scientist who served the country by air for 70 years; From Chen Yonggui, who led the Dazhai people to pick up the soil with a pole, to Yuan Longping, who said that "Chinese’s rice bowl should be firmly in his own hands"; From Li Suli, a bus conductor known as "the crutch of the old man and the eyes of the blind", to Xu Zhenchao & HELIP, a self-taught bridge crane expert; … Since the founding of New China, the Party and the state have held more than 10 national commendation conferences for model workers and advanced workers, commending more than 30,000 national model workers and advanced workers. The content of labor is changing, the labor scene is progressing, and the model workers are always at the forefront of socialist construction at different stages of development, making progress in pioneering and taking responsibility, interpreting the spiritual background of hard work and forging ahead with a hot life without regrets, and casting the backbone of the Republic.

　　The spirit is sustainable and passed down from generation to generation. Following the footsteps of model workers, we can always find the common characteristics of "love and dedication, strive for first-class, work hard, be brave in innovation, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be willing to contribute". This 24-word "model worker spirit" enriches the connotation of the national spirit and the spirit of the times, and is extremely valuable spiritual wealth, which needs to be passed down from generation to generation. It is necessary to vigorously publicize the advanced deeds and struggles of model workers, vividly tell the dream-realizing stories of model workers who are eager to be the first, make model workers the spiritual coordinates of the new era, and make workers who admire, love and admire labor a good social fashion.

　　We should solve practical problems concerning the employment, education, social security and medical care of workers, and constantly improve the sense of acquisition, happiness and security of the broad masses of working people. All workers should strive bravely for the first place, and work together for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.
