Weekly Topic 01 – Recalling the True Golden Age of the Chemical Industry
Thread Content
It seems I have lost touch with my mentor, but now that I’m facing setbacks at work, I often think of his expression – one of contentment, calmness, and happiness without any demands – and then I wonder what I have gained over these years What is missing? The result is this: I have lost the genuine care and support that I used to receive from my mentors when I first started in the chemical industry, and all I get are ever-unfulfilled desires and demands! Perhaps we all entered the chemical industry by following our mentors. Let’s recall together those mentors and good friends along the way, as well as those times of genuine friendship that we once had or are still experiencing!
I’ve had no teacher, nor have I experienced this so-called… teacher-student bond. I’ve always learned on my own, and it’s been quite difficult
I have only been working for a little over two years, but I have received a great deal of selfless help from many people; I am very grateful!
I also want to thank my good buddy – Zhang Zejun
It’s been many years, and I’m still in touch with my master from back then； But these days, we don’t talk about work or our professions/industries anymore; it’s mainly casual chatter, with occasional complaints and memories of the great times in the past, haha~~ We’re all getting older gradually
I just want to say: Working in the chemical industry is exhausting! !

When I first started working, an engineer who seemed to be a mentor gave me many useful suggestions regarding control circuits, PID tuning, and mathematics; it was thanks to him that I was able to build a solid foundation. Then a section chief took a liking to me, promoted me to a management position, and cared for me with great attention. I will definitely go to pay a visit when I return for the Spring Festival. The last two German engineers, one in instrumentation and the other in process engineering, taught me how to control batch reactions and showed me many things that are not well-known in the field of fine chemicals. These 4 people are the mentors from my career as an instrumentation engineer who will always remain in my memory
