723 statues

Gao Wangyuan stood still.

He saw a statue.

It was hard for him to express how he felt when he saw the statue, or even to describe what it carved into it.

He only knew that the moment he saw it, countless feelings and emotions surged over, allowing him to instantly comprehend the meaning it wanted to express.

It is carved by craftsmen, ancient and modern. Not only craftsmen, but also workers, the most ordinary part of the production line.

Everything he had experienced came to his heart in an instant, surging and surging for a long time.

He froze.

Yes, Gao Wangyuan is not only a craftsman, but also a worker.

When he was more than ten years old and still in junior high school, he was thrown by his family to work in a factory to do odd jobs, because it was a factory run by an acquaintance, and no one accused him of child labor.

But even if it is a child laborer, he has no shortage of things to do.

His family gave him a task to upgrade from a part-time job to a general mechanic in two months during the summer vacation.

Gao Wangyuan has been practicing his craft since he was a child, and the work itself is not difficult for him, but the things that workers and craftsmen do and bring are really different.

That summer vacation, Gao Wangyuan experienced the innate feelings that he had never encountered before, learned a lot of things, and made a few friends.

The following year, he was promoted from an ordinary worker to a senior mechanic.

In the third year, he moved into management.

At that time, he was only a junior high school student, but combined with the skills he learned from childhood, he became the strongest mechanic in that factory.

Gao Wangyuan has indeed had a lot of experiences and experienced a lot of things. And now, they all came up, and it was as if he had relived the previous thirty years of life.

It's all because of the statue in front of me that has no clear meaning and is difficult to describe its shape.

This is also the strongest emotion Gao Wangyuan has ever felt in his life because of a work.

There were a lot of people around, and many people just took a simple look and went in without much reaction.

But there are also many people like him, who stand here and immerse themselves in it.

After a long time, Gao Wangyuan took a long breath, came back to his senses, and looked around.

His family has a set of methods for judging identity, so it is easy to see that those who have such reactions are all the same identity as him. That is, either craftsmen or workers, in short, people who have personally worked in the industry.

It's a statue dedicated to people like them......

Gao Wangyuan stood staring at the statue for a while, and finally looked away from it, with deep curiosity.

Who carved it?

He must be a great master.

But how could a master of this level appear here?

Is it a mistake in the work of the organizing committee, or is it some unknown hidden master?

Gao Wangyuan was just passing by and saw a lot of people, so he casually squeezed in to see the excitement, but he didn't expect that after coming in, he was even more curious.

What is there to hesitate at this time, of course Gao Wangyuan has to continue to go in to see what is going on.

He followed the flow of people, and as he left, the man who had just stood beside him, who was also looking at the statue with him, also got up, exhaled, and praised, "Amazing." ”

Gao Wangyuan looked at him for a moment, and his eyes fell on his chest: "You are an old worker?"

The old gentleman had all white hair, and was at least in his old age. He was a little short in stature and very stocky, but his face was slightly sickly, and his body did not seem to be very good.

Most notably, he wore several badges on his chest like a soldier, with the heads of great men, and several with words written on them.

Gao Wangyuan's eyes were very sharp, and he could see it clearly immediately, it was the badge of senior technicians and advanced workers, which should have been obtained by the old man in the unit back then.

Hearing his words, the old man straightened his chest and looked very proud: "Yes, forty-nine years old worker! I started working at the age of sixteen, retired at the age of sixty-five, and has been working as a worker!"

"Wow, amazing!" Gao Wangyuan stretched out his thumb and praised sincerely, "I have also worked in the factory for three years." ”

In a word, the old man's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, and he was obviously much closer.

Although Gao Wangyuan was from a big family, he didn't have any shelf at all, and quickly exchanged names with the old man. After knowing each other's names, the two immediately became closer.

It turned out that they all had the surname Gao and were from their own family. The old man's name is Gao Shenggen, an old worker, a senior technician, who has worked diligently for decades, retired at the age of sixty-five, and is now at home with a grandson.

The grandson is not very old and has poor grades, and he is now learning carpentry, and he has just started learning for a few months.

Some time ago, he was sick and spent a lot of money, and the family spent a lot of money, which was a little difficult. The old man was discharged from the hospital not long ago, and wanted to find a unit to re-hire, and the other party asked him to meet here, but after he arrived, the other party said that there was something temporary, and he would not be able to meet until later in the afternoon, so he took advantage of this time to go to the exhibition at will, and accidentally saw this statue, and was immediately attracted.

"Master Gao, what do you see on this statue?" Gao Wangyuan asked curiously.

"This statue is amazing! I don't know what it is, but when I look at it, I somehow think of my life. When I was young, I didn't know anything to work in the factory, and I desperately followed the master to learn the craft, and then I stood alone, and was rated as an advanced worker for several years, and later, I gradually couldn't keep up......" Gao Shenggen squinted his eyes and looked back on his life, and finally sighed deeply.

"In the past, there were some things that the machine couldn't make, so we could only make them with our hands. Later, what we can't make with one hand, the machine can make it, and it can be done better than us, and it is faster than us. I think about this all the time, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. ”

"Not really. It is true that the machine always grabs food with us, but there are also many things that can only be made by people, and cannot be made by machines. Gao Wangyuan comforted him and said.

"yes, I figured it out in an instant. Just say this statue, can a machine make it?" Gao Shenggen couldn't help but look back again, the statue was standing at the door, and the mottled shade fell on its body, light and dark, as if in his life, there were highs and lows.

"I don't know whose handiwork this statue is, it's amazing!"

"Indeed, it is the work of the master of the standard, and I don't know which master it is. Gao Wangyuan looked back with him and said thoughtfully.

The two walked into the building and were dumbfounded.

They had all noticed it, and the statue was all in one place, with no indication or any sign next to it.

They walked in naturally, but when they entered, they found that there were three floors in the building, and there were two companies on each floor.

In other words, there are a total of six companies in this building, which one is this statue?

Gao Wangyuan was about to find someone to ask, and suddenly found that the flow of people was naturally going up, no matter how the employees of the two booths on the first floor were recruited, they did not mean to stop and take a look.

On the contrary, some people stopped at the front of the stairs and were taking pictures.

What's going on?

Gao Wangyuan and Gao Shenggen glanced at each other and walked over together.
