Passing craftsmanship

In charge of his studio, Liu no longer spends too much time in the frontline but plays a significant role in offering technical guidance to workers and coordinating processing issue with CNC machine tool manufacturers.

On Tuesday, he went round in the CNC workshop to check work. Young operators would like to talk to him to get some comments or guidance.

He often works overtime, especially when there are some urgent orders.

"I usually leave home at 7:50 am and come back home from work at 11:00 pm," Liu said.

However, he does not want the hardship of his work to be mentioned too much.

"Fewer and fewer young people would like to do my job, even if it is better paid than many blue-collar works. They think my job is dirty, drab as well as hard, they prefer to become truck drivers," Liu said with pity.

He values patience and the spirit of bearing hardships very much.

"I asked every freshman I taught to learn from standing. They have to develop more patience."

In order to pass his skills and experience to the next generation and spread technical achievements, Liu has compiled several training materials and has published a paper.

"I love the job of machining, and that is why I can persist on and would like to work hard at it," Liu said.

In addition, he believes operators with real rare skills will never be replaced by automatic machines and will be treasured in the future.

"The repeating work can be replaced but the experience never."
