State Grid Xiaogan Power Supply Company: Three Generations of Mentors and Apprentices Carry Forward the Craftsmanship Legacy

State Grid Xiaogan Power Supply Company's Youth League Committee, in collaboration with the Human Resources Department, has consistently promoted career development for young employees. Through diverse "Mentorship" Programs, they effectively leverage the "transmit, assist, and guide" role of mentors, helping young people find their footing, establish themselves at the grassroots level, and build a solid foundation.

Sun Zhi, a third-level master craftsman, has significantly reduced the labor intensity of overhead line workers and improved operational efficiency through dedicated research and innovation. His achievements include seven utility model patents and one invention patent, and six professional technical papers. Lu Qi, his proud protégé, is a successor to both the perfected technical system and the spirit of innovation. Lu Qi is good at learning, summarizing, and optimizing improvements. In addition to actively exploring innovation and efficiency enhancement, he prioritizes reinforcing the fundamental principle of "safe production" through the optimization of the technical system. Attracted by Lu Qi's work ethic of "pursuing excellence and striving for perfection," Xu Leping, possessing the same pragmatic and resilient character, joined his team as an apprentice. As a "post-90s" electricity professional, Xu Leping, with his strong attention to detail, has taken over the "baton" of digital transformation in power transmission and transformation maintenance. Building upon a wealth of field experience, he has seized the opportunity of the "machine-patrol replacing human-patrol" transformation, dedicating himself to exploring the application of drones in the power transmission profession. Their ‘three generations of mentors and apprentices’ interpreted the deep connotation of 'craftsman spirit' with inheritance and innovation.
