Chapter 535: When the Spring Festival is in progress

In Asia's largest and most populous country, one of the largest modern human migrations entered an intermission, with more than two billion Chinese rushing to their hometowns in a variety of ways in the first half of the twenty days, in order to participate in the largest gathering of the year: the Spring Festival.

People use trains, cars, airplanes and other means of transportation to shorten their journeys just so that they can return to their hometowns earlier. The homecoming motorcycle army from Guangdong, Fujian and other places also rushed to their hometowns in Sichuan and Chongqing.

China is the world's largest economic grower.

In addition to consuming 60 percent of the world's concrete, 50 percent steel, 45 percent of coal, and 25 percent of electricity, the most important thing that supports the country's development is that this country has the largest contingent of industrial workers in human history: an industrial army composed of 450 million people creates, produces, manufactures, and sells nearly half of the world's livelihood products.

Almost all of them have primary education, with more than 70 per cent of them having upper secondary education and 30 per cent of them having tertiary education.

They are supporting the rapid development of the country with cheap and professional technology, while also slowing down inflation around the world. Cheap Chinese goods can quickly improve the happiness of people all over the world, after all, not everyone can afford to use an iPhone, and not everyone can afford Adinaco.

Sneakers made in Putian allow Malagasy civilians with a per capita income of only one dollar a day to wear well-fitting shoes.

Low-cost smartphones made by Chinese companies such as MI and vivo have made real smartphones available to Indian civilians with an average monthly income of only 13,000 rupees (about 1,200 to 1,003 yuan) for the first time.

Humen, China (including Chang'an) has more than 20,000 mold production plants, producing nearly 25% of the world's molds. It only takes one day of a complete power outage here, and the world's manufacturing industry will evaporate hundreds of billions.

This professional industrial workforce cannot be replaced by any other world, whether it is Vietnam, India, Indonesia or other places where the so-called new industries are located.

Because countries with lower labor costs than Chinese have a terrible level of education, knowing 300 words and adding and subtracting within four digits is not considered illiteracy even if they have received primary education. Don't expect these people to operate CNC machines to produce parts, unless you want to get paid for a valuable machine.

Because they will not understand the meaning of the three-dimensional coordinate system xyz in machining, and they will never understand how to use the g command. They can only be a tool man who opens and closes the upper and lower parts of the workpiece door.

These countries will not have their own machine tools, reliable quality and low prices. After all, they can't even produce even the simplest stepper motor on a large scale.

Because there are not so many people with secondary and higher education who are involved in the production and research and development of the primary industry.

So they won't have their own JIER, BJ carving. There will be no such core companies that dominate engineering and counterattack the global heavy machinery engineering to redefine industry standards.

And anywhere more specialized than the Chinese industrial workers, where labor costs can scare off the massive influx of capital.

This huge industrial army comes from all over the country like migratory birds, and they are like hematopoietic stem cells to the big cities and industrially dense areas to provide a steady stream of blood transfusions for the country, and now is the time for the weary birds to return to their nests.

Many couples who go out to work in Sichuan and Chongqing go out on motorcycles with luggage on their backs. And now they are once again riding their motorcycles home with their luggage on their backs.

Starting from Guangdong, the mighty army of motorcycles returning home exceeded 100,000 people. Because Spring Festival tickets are difficult to buy, many people have to choose to ride motorcycles home in cold weather.

Riding thousands of kilometers and spending two to three days on the road, many people just want to go home and see their parents. Bring new clothes bought from the big city to your children. The cold and hardships along the way have become less difficult.

Coming out of Jiang Aiguo's home, Jiang Jianmin did not follow Jiang Hua to his third uncle's (Jiang Hua's father) house, but took Jiang Hua and Zhang Tong to the last homecoming motorcycle army volunteer service point in Shuangqing.

"I've checked before, and the last army of homecoming motorbikes will pass through here today. Then go back to the various towns below Shuangqing. It should be the last batch, with more than a thousand people. Today, the Chinese New Year's Eve, this volunteer site is understaffed. I'm here to help you out. I'll go to my sister's house later. Jiang Jianmin said that the volunteer service points are a few large tents set up on the side of the road.

Jiang Hua glanced at Zhang Tong: "Huh?"

"Look what I'm doing. If you want to stay and help, just say yes. ”

"I'm afraid you're not happy. ”

"What's not to like. Idle is idle anyway. ”

Because of the particularity of the returning motorcycles, some service stations are generally prepared in the places where the returnee motorcycles pass through every year to be used as a resting place for the returnees. The main thing is to provide some hot water and toilets, and in better conditions there will be hot soup and simple free meals. It's delicious, but it's not unpleasant to eat.

This service point after getting off the highway is the last service point after entering Shuangqing. Once here, it's not far from the way home.

Yang Ning, who works in Guangdong, rode his Haojue 150 and his daughter-in-law for two days in the cold wind. Although she was wearing a thick down jacket, her wife still had some nasal congestion and cold.

There is no way, because the train tickets for the Spring Festival are too difficult to buy, especially in Guangdong, as a large province with a large population, every time the New Year is like a war. If you were lucky, you grabbed it and became the lucky one. If you're unlucky, you'll have to find another way, or simply don't go back.

But definitely going back this year.

"The baby is going to study next year! I want to go back for the New Year, and I want to see if I can go to a good school in the city. "My wife has been talking about this since years ago, and she can't even think about it.

Yang Ning, who works as a four-axis linkage high-speed engraving machine operator and programmer in a factory in Humen, can also earn a salary of 11,000 yuan a month. Looking at his peers around the world, Yang Ning's salary can be said to be low. But compared with many of his fellow villagers and classmates, he can be said to be good, and his salary is higher than that of many students who have gone to college.

Yang Ning himself is very content, graduated from high school at the age of eighteen and went to Guangdong to work, and entered the factory to learn the technology of CNC milling machine. One study is three years, and after leaving the school, he will work in the factory independently. met the girl from the same township in the factory next door, the two of them were like countless migrant couples, they met and fell in love and got married, which was plain and did not require much pen and ink, but it was a portrayal of the life of countless migrant workers in the southeast coastal area.

I gave birth to a child at the age of twenty-two, and my life was turbulent, and the biggest change was that I learned more four-axis linkage technology, and then my salary increased by several thousand yuan. Next year, he should be able to add an extra 1,000 yuan a month, and the twenty-eight-year-old Yang Ning feels that life is good.

I bought a big house in my hometown town and became a technical backbone in the factory. He plans to save up for a second-hand car next year, so that he won't be so embarrassed if he can't buy a ticket during the Chinese New Year.

Riding back to his hometown with hundreds of motorcycles, he was one of the last people to do so. Coming back with the line of Chinese New Year's Eve. It's not that I don't want to be a little earlier, but because the factory is too busy. Because of the cost, many Japanese companies are now moving to Southeast Asia to open. For example, their factory has been cooperating with Hitachi Group before.

They have now set up many electrical departments in Southeast Asia, including mold production. However, there are too many problems in the production of molds in Vietnam, and the lack of precision is a frequent occurrence. There are also various processes that are not matched, and the surface finish of the products produced by the mold is not enough, which is very annoying to repair.

In order to reduce labor costs in China, Hitachi chose to set up factories in Southeast Asia, and even brought technical volunteers to local supporting factories. But there are still many problems, and it has been several years, and there are still many problems that cannot be solved well.

As a result, many products had to be transferred back to China for production, and then handed over to Southeast Asia for production and use.

Recently, the factory received an urgent job from Hitachi to repair a batch of molds produced in Southeast Asia. This kind of thing is the most annoying, and it is more troublesome to repair other people's molds than to reopen them yourself. However, in order to maintain a large customer like Hitachi, there is no way to work overtime throughout the plant.

Fortunately, three days before the Chinese New Year, things were finally done. Yang Ning found time to go to the mall with his wife to buy all kinds of New Year's goods. Now the back shelves of his motorcycle are bundled with a large number of New Year's goods, including new clothes and school bags for his children, down jackets for his parents, and so on. Although it is said that online shopping is very convenient now, sometimes there are things that have to be handed over by oneself to have real feelings.

After getting off the highway, there were many people who returned home with a group of motorcycles who drove directly home without resting. And Yang Ning felt that his wife was a little uncomfortable, so he stopped at the rest point on the side of the road to prepare for a rest.

"Drink some hot soup, freshly boiled. Add a lot of pepper to ward off the cold. A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which made people feel good at first sight, handed over a cup of thick soup in a disposable paper cup.

"Thank you. Yang Ning took it and handed it to his wife: "You drink first." ”

"Hmm. The wife, who had a little cold, was not polite, and took a sip of the hot soup. The choking pepper in the mouth makes people feel stuffy in the nose instantly, and after two sips, the cold body gradually recovers some warmth. The wife looked at Yang Ning: "You drink it too." As he spoke, he handed over the quilt.

"Don't push, we've been through a lot here. The man with the big eyebrows handed over another cup of soup.

"It's hard to come back on a motorcycle, isn't it?"

"yes. Yang Ning took the thick soup and replied: "I ran for two days, and slept in the high-speed service area last night." ”

"It's not far from home now. ”

"It's not far, it's forty kilometers. It's an hour away. I'll be home soon, and I can see my old lady and my baby. Yang Ning smiled when he thought of this, and his originally frozen stiff face appeared.

After drinking hot soup and resting for a while, Yang Ning and his wife rode the motorcycle again, and their home was already in sight. The tiredness accumulated during the two-day journey magically disappeared.

Walking through the familiar and unfamiliar streets, you can already see your home. On the third floor of the second row on the side of the road, the house with the red lantern hangs.

"Dad~Dad~Mom~" A little boy with a tiger head shouted on the balcony after seeing Yang Ning's motorcycle.

I stepped on the stairs and went upstairs, but before I reached the door, the door was already open. The old father around his face looked at Yang Ning and his family with a smile: "I'm back." ”

"Dad, we're back. ”

"It's good to be back. ”

There are no tears in the TV series, no true feelings revealed, and all the usual repetitions are just like the son just coming home from work. But every Chinese will understand how much expectation there is behind the sound of "just come back".

After not seeing her son for a year, Yang Ning's wife took out the new clothes for the child from the luggage she brought.

"Xiaohe, I can't retreat yet. Yang Ning's wife found that her son, who had not seen her for a year, had grown up a lot, and the size of the clothes she bought was smaller. She touched her son's head and hugged him when she was happy and sad.

Yang Ning, who had always been frugal outside, said on the first day of his home: "Xiao Xiao is Xiao Xiao, we will go to the big shopping mall in Shuangqing to buy new ones during the Spring Festival." ”

At the service point, it was already dark after Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua sent away a little couple who had just hugged and cried here.

The lights of thousands of homes are gradually brightening, illuminating the magical three-dimensional city of Shuangqing, layer upon layer like a galaxy.

"Let's go, we're going home too. Jiang Hua greeted Zhang Tong.

"Go home, huh. Go home!" Zhang Tong stepped forward and took Jiang Hua's hand.

Jiang Jianmin covered his eyes: Oops, where did my heroic sister go?!

ps: There is only one update today, please forgive me.

PS2: JD Jingdiao is the North Beijing Jingdiao. This is a private enterprise that I have personally felt that I have grown up in. The history of this business is legendary. From a small manufacturer that no one cares about, to the current leader of the world's art bas-relief high-speed engraving machine and engraving software and programming software, this manufacturer has only spent more than ten years.

When I first came into contact with it 10 years ago, I kept complaining: this software is made by SB! It's hard to use, stuck, and almost not optimized.

And ten years later, when I use it again, I can be responsible for saying that Beijing Jingdiao is already a world-class level in terms of both Jingdiao software and Jingdiao machine tools, especially in the field of artistic bas-relief software industrial carving, Beijing Jingdiao is outstanding, and it has truly achieved a number of foreign manufacturers.

Sometimes there is no need to be presumptuous, and there are actually many products in China's industry that are quite competitive. It's just that these brands themselves do not enter the public eye, nor are they livelihood products, they are all products of industrial cornerstone. So looking at the tide without Apple and Google, even these Chinese products look very rustic.

But all the tertiary industry is built on the rustic primary industry. Without the primary industry, all prosperity is a floating cloud, as ethereal as water without a source and a tree without roots.
