Chapter 80 79. Zhao Mengtao——Excellent pacesetter in the textile front

Zhao Mengtao is a famous model worker in the country and a red flag on the textile front.Zhao Mengtao, as a representative of China's textile industry in the 1950s, created a set of advanced cleaning and inspection methods, which were fully promoted in Shaanxi Province. In 1963, the People's Committee of Shaanxi Province decided to name her group "Zhao Mengtao Group". In 1956 and 1959, Zhao Mengtao was awarded the title of National Advanced Producer at the National Advanced Producer Congress and the National "Heroes Meeting". Zhao Mengtao was born in a poor family in Luoyang, Henan Province in 1936. In 1951, 16-year-old Zhao Mengtao entered the No. 1 Cotton Factory in Northwest China.When she first entered the factory, she worked as a spinner on duty.In order to master the technology, she always keeps her textbooks with her no matter in meetings, visits or recuperation. Her two hands are never idle, and she practices the operation skills as long as she has time.

In May 1952, the Northwest National Cotton No. 1 Factory officially started construction, and Zhao became a spun yarn stopper.A sense of pride in being the master of the house prompted her to enter the workshop, like a fully wound clock, "Work hard! Work hard! Work honestly" became her mantra.When others tour for 3-5 minutes, she only spends 2 minutes and 50 seconds; when others talk at the front and rear of the car, she trots to go to the toilet.Soon, at the graduation ceremony of learning "Hao Jianxiu's working method", she won the first place and was elected as the leader of the labor union and an advanced producer. In August 1953, she attended the National Textile System Workers Conference.In September of the same year, Zhao Mengtao joined the Communist Party of China. In September 1956, as an outstanding member of the textile workers, Zhao Mengtao was elected as a representative of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and participated in the eight major events of great historical significance.Since then, she has demanded herself with the eight conditions of Communist Party members, caring more about production and caring for others.She is strict with self-discipline, measures her own production and study with high standards, and never emphasizes difficulties; she is considerate to her comrades, and drives and helps others with the exemplary actions of an ordinary Communist Party member.Since 1952, she has created an advanced record of fully completing the production plan for 7 consecutive years, and helped 13 workers to become advanced producers in factories and workshops.The ideology and morality she advocated and demonstrated of "reserving oneself from difficulties, making others convenient" and "not leaving a partner behind" were summarized by Shaanxi Province as "Dream Peach Spirit".The group she led was rated as a national advanced collective, and she herself was also rated as a national model worker.

During the seven years from 1952 to 1959, Zhao Mengtao saved more than 1,200 kilograms of cotton alone. After 1959, the national production plan was overfulfilled day by day, creating a good achievement of full completion of the national plan every month and balanced production every year.She has been rated as a model worker and red-banner bearer 42 times. Zhao Mengtao said: "It is the greatest happiness in life to be able to help others move forward! We must fan the fire in every comrade's heart! Don't let a partner fall behind, and don't let a group around you fall behind!" During a meeting, she learned In order to pick the skin roller flowers with both hands, he immediately passed on this advanced experience to other partners, making it bear fruit in the whole factory and in various textile factories in Shaanxi Province.She also summed up and created the "Spinning Yarn Tour Cleaning and Inspection Work Law", which realized her wish of "making technology a collective wealth".Driven by her, the group's "everyone should be an advanced, everyone strives to be a model worker" has become a common practice. In 1959, she and her "Zhao Mengtao Group" attended the National Heroes Meeting and became a banner of the textile front.

In 1962, in order to improve the quality of cotton cloth, the No. 1 Cotton Factory of Northwest China required the spinning process to reduce the phenomenon of unevenness, so as to eliminate the coarse and detailed defects on the cloth surface.Zhao Wei is currently studying technology hard, and on the basis of absorbing the experience of other textile experts, he has explored a set of scientific patrol cleaning and inspection methods.According to this operation method, the cleaning of the spinning car can get 100 points, the broken ends can be reduced by two-thirds, and the broken yarns in coarse and fine details can be reduced by about 70% compared with the past. The evenness of the cotton yarn and the quality of the cotton fabric play an important role.At the end of November of the same year, Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Textile Industry summarized and promoted this method, and "Shaanxi Daily" reported it in January 1963 as important news.However, just as the "Heart Peach" was blooming, Zhao's old illness relapsed and he was admitted to the hospital again. Six years ago, she was hospitalized for surgery due to a lung disease.At that time, she thought about the factory and her fellow workers, and returned to work in the factory before she recovered.This time, she has become a terminally ill patient, but during the months of bedridden days, she still thinks about the factory, the workers' sisters and the implementation of the new operation method.In order not to affect the production of the factory, she dissuaded the sisters sent by the organization to nurse her; when she was just able to get out of bed with the help of the nurses, she struggled to wash her face and pour water by herself, and even helped the seriously ill patients wash their feet and take a bath. Cutting "oiled gauze", and often serving as a "temporary nurse" to help nurses prepare for infusions, clean wards, and climb onto the windowsill to clean windows.Nurses and patients persuaded her to rest, but she always said: "If I can move, I will do it!" In 1963, this national model worker died of lung cancer at the age of 28.

"High standards, strict requirements, fast action, practical work, difficult robbing, and convenient delivery" is the "Mengtao Spirit" that inspires generations of textile workers.Although Zhao Mengtao has left us, her "Mengtao Spirit" of "giving convenience to others, leaving difficulties to herself, and not letting a sister be left behind" has become a precious wealth passed on to future generations.Generation after generation of textile workers have practiced the "Mengtao Spirit" with their own actions, making the banner of "Zhao Mengtao Group" still radiate brilliant brilliance.
