Haichuan’s “Season of Gratitude” – A Teacher, A Friend, A Brother【Safety & Environment Section 004】

Thread Content

He isn’t my master, but he’s like one； He is seven or eight years older than me, yet we have become close friends despite the age difference ； He isn’t my biological brother, but he acts like an elder brother. Over a decade ago, he and I joined the company one after another. Every day, we get up early and work until late, eat together, and discuss work, career prospects, and gains and losses. He initially worked in the field of instrumentation, but after joining the company he switched to construction management. From then on, driven by the needs of his work, he began to get in touch with, study, and apply all the specialties in the field of engineering. It’s incredible that he can do so well in engineering tasks that are not related to instrumentation, handling them with great skill. The construction projects he managed had better quality than those done by civil engineers. The equipment and piping projects he was in charge of have maintained a very high level of reliability over the years. There are some areas of work that are my specialty, and he would always ask me, his junior colleague, for help until he understood them himself. In terms of my field, it seems like he is learning from me*. But I know I need to learn* more things from him. He learned what I knew, but I did not learn what he was familiar with. What I need to learn from him even more is his professionalism, his dedication, his sense of responsibility, and his eagerness to learn. He is working abroad now, and we still stay in regular contact through email and WeChat. I often turn to him for help with work-related issues, and he always responds to every request in detail. He is the beloved Engineer Zhang, a true mentor and friend. Taking this event organized by HaiChuan as an opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude.
