What they say

Editor's note: Five senior technicians in aerospace, oil drilling and other industries shared their opinions on technological innovations and the spirit of craftsmanship at a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on Monday.

Success is mainly based on persistence rather than your strength. Nowadays many young people are fickle and they should concentrate on study and research. I think innovation and technological reform are most important in the new era. Now many youngsters in my company participate in the whole research process, ranging from development and experiment to the application phase, which benefits their growth a lot.
