Thirty-three Years of a Winding Life: The Story of Chen Huiling's Growth with Longjian Group
At 8 a.m.,the slanting sunlight streamed into the transformer workshop of Longjian Group.Chen Huiling,50 years old,was gently wiping the metal casing of the winding machine with her calloused fingers.This"old companion"that has been with her for 33 years is now emitting a uniform humming sound,as if telling the story of time.The amber insulating paper neatly stacked on the workbench gives off a warm luster,just like the warp and weft of time waiting to be woven.
The craftsmanship spirit refined by time
On that summer day in 1992 when cicadas were chirping noisily,18-year-old Chen Huiling stepped into the gate of the predecessor of Longjian Group-Yichuan County Transformer Factory,holding a job application notice.At that time,the image of the girl with short hair reaching her ears,standing on tiptoe to debug the equipment,was touching.

Nowadays,this experienced winder has three identities-daughter,mother and grandmother.She stroked the photo and sighed,"Back then,I was the shortest in the workshop.Now I have 33 years of service and I'm about to reach retirement age."

As the first process in transformer production,the precision of the winding process directly affects the product quality.Over the past 33 years,Chen Huiling has grown from a young girl to someone with grey hair on her temples.Her gaze has always been as focused as a torch,repeating the same action:bending over to adjust the Angle of the cable tray,the guide wheel gently turns at her fingertips,drawing a fine arc,as precise as a musician tuning strings.This is like laying the foundation for a transformer;there can be no room for the slightest carelessness.Chen Huiling said so.
33 years of growing together with the enterprise
Over the past 33 years,Chen Huiling has witnessed the transformation of the enterprise from a single transformer factory to a group:"The factory area back then is now a Longjian Jindu Real Estate project.We now have five core products:transformers,complete sets,charging piles,photovoltaic,and energy storage.""Over the years,the rapidly developing Longjian Group's business has covered five major sectors:power,new energy,real estate,agriculture,and trade.It holds a second-level qualification for general contracting of power engineering construction and a fourth-level license for installation(repair,testing)of power facilities.It is capable of undertaking general contracting of 220KV and below transmission and transformation projects,intelligent operation and maintenance in industrial parks,and other scenarios.It has specialized qualifications for new energy and EPC general contracting capabilities.

At the workshop site,when she learned that the new product would be sent to Saudi Arabia,ripples spread across her eyes:"If these copper wires could speak,they could probably tell stories from all seven continents.""Nowadays,under the guidance of the national"Belt and Road Initiative",the group actively responds to the call of the new development pattern of"dual circulation",and its products have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions in Europe,Asia,Africa,South Africa,the Middle East and so on.It includes 21 countries along the Belt and Road Initiative,such as Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan,Ethiopia,Peru,Romania,Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Write a new chapter with craftsmanship
When asked about her retirement plans,Chen Huiling shook her head with a smile and said,"I'm only 50 years old and I'm quite proficient in my work now."The company provides us with free accommodation and meals,and also regularly organizes skills training and cultural activities.She gently stroked the copper wires on the winding machine."These copper wires have long been a part of my life.Watching them be sent all over the world along with the transformer is more precious than any retirement gift."

Inside the workshop,the intelligent production line of Longjian Group is running at full speed.Chen Huiling and her"old buddy"still hold fast to their traditional craft positions.With 33 years of dedication,they interpret that in today's era of rapid technological development,craftsmanship remains the most precious"industrial code".(Written by Zhang Jie
