Ten years of sharpening a sword, showing its edge in one moment

吴耀东

Wu Yaodong joined Shangyu City Internal Combustion Engine Parts Co., Ltd. in 2010, and worked diligently as a technician for ten years. During this decade, he transformed from an inexperienced newcomer into an outstanding technical engineer capable of handling tasks independently through continuous learning and growth.

From the moment he started, he realized that the knowledge learned in school differed from actual work, so he worked hard to study professional knowledge and applied it in practice to improve his technical skills. Initially, it took him a lot of time to understand and digest a single technical point, but now he possesses a wealth of knowledge, all accumulated through ten years of relentless effort.

In the profile machining workshop, as customers raised their requirements for workpieces, the existing processing methods could no longer meet their precision demands. Customers required products that met standards to be produced in a short time, which seemed impossible at the time. While everyone was troubled about how to improve the process, Wu Yaodong took a different approach. Relying on his understanding of the product, he directly improved from the perspective of product quality, significantly enhancing precision and meeting the required accuracy within the customer's timeframe, earning unanimous praise.

Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to fall behind. While consolidating his existing knowledge, Wu Yaodong also showed a strong desire for new technologies, and since 2015, he has participated in the development and research of new products. However, developing new products is a long and difficult process. Since the existing products are highly similar, breaking the constraints of established thinking for new products is not easy. Wu Yaodong did not shrink back, participating in and developing the new modular camshaft project. From conception to design, from drawing to prototyping, he continuously made breakthroughs in technical difficulties. Whenever a technical point had issues, he kept testing; whenever requirements were not met, he changed the plan. After five years, he finally achieved successful mass production.

As a “veteran technician” with ten years of experience, Wu Yaodong humbly states that he still has much to learn. Yet what we see is his presence in new product trials, his involvement in process improvements, and his participation in high-tech enterprise applications. This technician, who has honed his skills for ten years and now shows his brilliance, is contributing his strength to “Centennial Chunhui” under the company's “diligence and integrity” policy!
