The Canton Fair, known as the "China Import and Export Commodity Fair", was founded in 1957 and is the longest, largest and largest comprehensive international trade event in China.
During the period of development, foreign businessmen gathered here, and about 200,000 overseas buyers from more than 200 countries and regions will come here in the future. Every venue and booth here represents the top level of Exhibition Construction in China, which is accomplished by more than 20,000 migrant workers. Shang Hai is one of them. He is also one of the protagonists of CCTV Financial Channel's "City Dream".
Shang Hai studied carpentry at the age of 18 and has been working for 30 years. Years ago, he came to Guangzhou and became a booth builder step by step. Every time he works conscientiously and conscientiously, he will finish the task on time and do a good job. However, in the process of tension, a phone call made him feel anxious to work at once. Who on earth came to the phone? What kind of concern does he have in mind?
Zheng Xiaofeng, another protagonist of the current "City Dream" program, is the chairman of Hangzhou Qiandaohu Beer Co., Ltd. and vice president of Hangzhou General Chamber of Commerce. This time, he will come to the Guangzhou Fair as an exhibitor, pick up nail guns for the first time, saw boards for the first time, climb scaffolding for the first time... Why was he suddenly taken away by security guards as a "re-education"? Why does he keep taking self-portraits excitedly?
168 football venues with 60,000 booths completed safely in 36 hours
The total area of this Canton Fair is 118,000 square meters, totaling more than 60,000 booths. Before the opening of the exhibition, more than 20,000 construction workers need to complete the construction of the booth in 36 hours. Daily construction work has been strictly allocated and must be completed on time and without delay. Secondly, more than 6,000 large trucks need to transport 180,000 tons of materials into the construction site. The construction time of vehicles, materials and personnel has been accurately measured to achieve seamless docking.
Only under such super-high strength and extremely strict construction requirements, can this international trade Festival open on schedule and safely, and show the contemporary Chinese business style to the world. All of these can not be separated from the hard work of every construction worker.
Work conscientiously and conscientiously. "When people say they'll finish it, they'll finish it."
In order to complete the task on time before the launch, the builders need to work overtime to race against time. Shang Hai has participated in the construction of the Canton Fair many times, and knows the tension and busyness of the work here very well.
During the construction period, Shang Hai and his colleagues will leave for the venue at 7:30. They sometimes work all night in order to complete the assigned tasks in time.
Every noon, they only have 15 minutes to eat. In order to save time, they even had no time to go out of the exhibition hall and find a corner to sit on. They would start working immediately after they had eaten grass.
That evening, Shang Hai and Zheng Xiaofeng worked overtime until 2 o'clock. Shang Hai said that when walking in the exhibition hall, feet were too tired to walk with pain. But in order to finish the work on time, they will return to work on time at 7 o'clock the next morning.
As a teacher, he takes care of everything in a simple and simple way.
Besides being conscientiously responsible for his own work, Shang Hai is also very conscientious of Zheng Xiaofeng, an apprentice who came to experience it. Despite his busy hands, he still repeated construction training for Zheng Xiaofeng. As a result, Zheng Xiaofeng made a mistake and was taken away by the security guards and forced to stop work for an hour to receive safety education.
Looking at the apprentice was "captured", standing in situ looking at the sea, a guilty face.
He had to speed up his work, hoping to make up for his disciples'work.
Caller Dunsheng at home worries about him all he wants to do is to give his family a better life.
Professor Shang has been working for many years. He is in Guangzhou, China's open door. He watches the neon flashing city every day, creating the largest exhibition in China. But no matter how far he went and how busy he was, his guilt and concern for his family had always been the most vulnerable place in his heart. Shang Hai, who works hard, has only one wish in his heart, that is, to give his family a better life.
During the tense construction, Shang Hai received a call from his home. His 70-year-old mother went out in the morning and did not return home in the evening. She couldn't get in touch with the phone. She had always been a steady teacher. He put down his work and walked out of the meeting, anxiously calling all his relatives and friends to ask about his mother. Asked a circle of still no news from his mother, he squatted in the open space at the entrance of the venue, incomparably lost and helpless.
He said that the mother of one of his co-workers had lost the opportunity of treatment because she was alone at home and no one knew about the sudden illness. It took many days for her to die before she was found out. These stories around him make Shang Shifu more concerned about his old and middle-aged mother.
A few hours later, he finally got the news from his relatives and friends that his mother was safe and sound. The heart hanging in the ocean is put down.
Many times they participated in the exhibition to build themselves, but they never saw it with their own eyes.
At 5 a.m. on the last day, with the efforts of all the people, the booth was built on time and all the workers and cleaners were evacuated. In the Guangzhou Fair venue, the final security inspection and explosion elimination inspection will begin. More than 300 police officers and more than 100 explosion-hunting dogs entered the venue and conducted more than 60,000 explosion-hunting and detonation-clearance security checks. Four hours later, the 125th Canton Fair will be grandly opened here.
Shang Hai, who has participated in the Canton Fair booth construction for many times, always leaves the venue after completion. After the opening of the exhibition, he did not have the opportunity to walk in here and see for himself the grand venues he participated in. Despite this, Zheng Xiaofeng and Shang Hai happily took self-portraits at the entrance of the venue.
