Information about Zhang Xiaoyu.

The first person to drive safely in China's subway industry

1975, the vigorous "great proletarian cultural revolution" came to an end. 19-year-old Zhang Xiaoyu was assigned as an apprentice to subway drivers after graduating from high school. His fate has been on that track ever since.

To outsiders, the subway driver is a boring and hard job: driving a train on the same track all day, with poor air circulation, loud noise and depressing environment, and he can't talk during working hours. ...

Zhang Xiaoyu has not only overcome these difficulties for more than 30 years, but also made remarkable achievements-driving 820,000 kilometers safely, which is equivalent to 20.5 laps around the equator. "As far as I know, the world has not reached such a long time."

Zhang Xiaoyu 1956 was born in Beijing, the youngest child in the family. My father, who worked in the Ministry of Railways, died when Zhang Xiaoyu was 3 years old. Mother is an old Red Army. Zhang Xiaoyu's brothers and sisters were sent to Inner Mongolia during the Cultural Revolution, but he was lucky enough to stay and be admitted to Railway No.1 Middle School.

"Thanks to Deng Xiaoping, who advocated the restoration of high school education after 1973 came back," Zhang Xiaoyu said. "At that time, it was not easy to get into high school. Only a quarter of our junior high school students were admitted."

It is even luckier to be assigned to work in the subway system. At that time, the subway was under the jurisdiction of the army, and it also undertook the task of receiving foreign guests. The monthly fixed salary was 16 yuan, which was an enviable good job. So the requirements for recruitment are also very strict. Zhang Xiaoyu1.82m tall and straight figure, handsome appearance and his "red" background fully meet the requirements.

1969, the first subway line in Beijing was completed and put into use, with a total of 16 stations from Beijing Station to the ancient city. But at that time, the main function of the subway was to buy tickets to visit-Beijingers could buy tickets to visit the subway with a letter of introduction from their units, 1 cent. "At that time, the subway departure interval was 14 minutes, so it was impossible to be used as a means of transportation to and from work. Moreover, most people live in the dormitory allocated near the unit and do not need to take the subway. " Zhang Xiaoyu said.

He said that in that special period, the Beijing subway also undertook war preparations and some special tasks. "After 9 o'clock in the evening, a special driver team continued to work and perform special tasks. At that time, representatives attending the party congress were secretly sent to the venue by the subway. " With the change of international and domestic political environment, this function has long been abandoned.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoyu was still far from these "secret tasks". During his whole three years as an apprentice, he studied theoretical knowledge every morning and washed the car and mopped the floor in the afternoon. It was not until three years later that he was allowed to get on the bus and learn practical skills under the supervision of the old driver. At the age of 24, he passed the exam and became an official driver who could drive independently.

Zhang Xiaoyu said frankly that subway drivers are under great pressure, especially psychological pressure. Half of the 28 drivers in his group have changed careers. However, Zhang Xiaoyu kept her mother's words in mind, "Don't look at the mountain as high as others" and persisted.

"Our generation's employment concept is completely different from now, and they all pay attention to doing one line and loving one line. I don't consider hobbies, they are all' get married first, then fall in love'. "

Zhang Xiaoyu, who was not top-notch at school, was the best when learning to drive. He proudly said that this made him interested in this job. "I can recite the whole circuit diagram of the train."

At that time, the subway train used the technology of the Soviet Union in the 1930s, which was "rescued" by the domestic 802 factory. Problems are common, often open and suddenly stop in the middle of the dark track. Therefore, the driver's "car inspection" ability is very demanding, and he must be able to accurately judge what is wrong and repair it in the shortest time. In Zhang Xiaoyu's words: "Don't use any method, just let the car go."

Once, when Zhang Xiaoyu drove to the corner of the ancient city, the train suddenly stopped completely. At this time, if you can't judge and deal with the fault quickly, you must ask for help. You must empty the passengers first, and then drag the vehicle away from the main line of operation. It will take as little as ten minutes and as much as twenty or thirty minutes, and the normal operation order of the subway will be disrupted.

He first reported the situation to the dispatcher, then he quickly judged himself and quickly checked every train. When he found the third carriage, he only shook the bolt joint, and the emergency brake of the train was lifted immediately. It takes less than 6 minutes from fault discovery to treatment.

Therefore, every day's work is full of freshness for Zhang Xiaoyu. And this has become the biggest motivation for him to fall in love with this job ―― every time I deal with a fault, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. He doesn't find the work of a subway driver "boring" at all.

After China implemented the reform and opening-up policy from 65438 to 0978, many people lost their "iron rice bowls" and went to the sea to make waves. Zhang Xiaoyu's wife also gave up her job as a civil servant and started her own plastic packaging factory.

He chose to insist. "On the one hand, someone in my family left the system and I have a stable job. In case her business fails, she can also be her backing. "

"Besides, I can't do anything." He said half jokingly and half seriously.

Zhang Xiaoyu said that in recent years, as long as he mentions it, he can jump ship at any time. In fact, he did have a job-hopping experience.

After working as a driver for about 3 or 4 years, Zhang Xiaoyu was transferred to the monitoring screen of the signal building to send a signal. Compared with the driver, the job was easy and clean, but after three days, he insisted on being transferred. "There is no way to get a sense of accomplishment. Drivers are men's jobs. "

Beijing subway has developed rapidly in recent years. At present, there are 8 lines, covering198km. The trains are manufactured with the most advanced technology from Japan, and all of them are controlled by computers. In 2000, Zhang Xiaoyu was assigned to Sihui Depot where all new cars were used, which was a new challenge for him.

He not only mastered the new operation method quickly, but also compiled a set of scientific and practical braking operation flow chart of electric train according to his own practice after half a year's research and accumulation, which realized the goal of achieving the most accurate parking position with the least braking times and extended this method to all drivers.

In fact, professional skills are only a part of safe driving for 30 years, and responsibility and continuous attention are very important.

Zhang Xiaoyu said that a subway driver has to travel nearly 200 kilometers according to the map every day, push and pull the traction and braking handles 200 times, point to various signals and switches and call for confirmation 600 times, and open and close the doors to watch passengers get on and off 150 times. "Any illegal operation in any link may affect safe driving."

He said that young people now have more employment choices, but this has also affected their sense of responsibility to some extent. If they don't do well here, if something goes wrong, they can still do well in another job. They can't concentrate on their work. This is not conducive to improving the development of subway safe driving.

And with the rapid development of the subway, the requirements for drivers are higher. At present, the shortest stop interval of a train is only 2 minutes, 14 second. In such a short time, it is more important to test the psychological quality of drivers. "Now the psychological quality test has been introduced in recruiting drivers," Zhang Xiaoyu said.

Zhang Xiaoyu won many honors. In 2004, he was named party member, the top ten stars of Beijing state-owned enterprises, the national model worker in 2005, and the first "Golden Handle Award" of Beijing Metro in 2006. ...

In her spare time, Zhang Xiaoyu likes photography. Photography has become his hobby since he was a child playing with the old camera his father brought back from the Soviet Union. He likes to shoot still life and scenery, and the staff of the propaganda department of the unit meeting are too busy to ask him for help. What's the point of meeting photos? "I took a photography class, and the teacher said a word, the same thing was taken 1000 times, and 1000 different photos came out."

People often ask when Zhang Xiaoyu can reach 654.38+00,000 kilometers. Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Safe mileage is a particularly sacred thing in my heart, and I can't just say it."

"Because subway drivers are high-risk occupations, safe mileage is a new beginning every day."
