Superior workmanship role model for talent

Chinese railway operators have taken measures to recognize superior workmanship while inspiring new talent. Recently, China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group asked fresh recruits to learn the spirit of superior workmanship from its model workers. Its Fuzhou Rolling-stock Depot organized 47 new staff members in paying tribute to an Exhibition Hall of Model Workers, guiding them to learn from master craftsmen, technology pioneers and public-service role models for better skills. New recruit He Yifan said: "Seeing so many outstanding predecessors achieve the extraordinary in ordinary posts inspired me. I will follow them — love what I do, and excel at what I do."
