The messengers of light on the Belt and Road

The Saudi assistance and construction project that lasted for more than half a year not only brought the first smart billing system of the Saudi Electric Power Company into operation but also brought rich and precious experience to the team and Deng himself. In May 2023, Deng was transferred to assist in the construction of the Indonesia Advanced Smart Metering Architecture Project. This project includes the deployment of electricity acquisition systems in Java-Bali, Sumatra, Kalimantan and the Eastern Indonesia region, as well as the installation of 1.2 million smart electricity meters and corresponding hardware equipment. After the deployment and integration of the preliminary system, all electricity meters should be installed and connected to the fiber optic access and HES before the end of the year, and the technology transfer and training should be completed within two years. In just a few months, the Chinese team won the trust of local residents and made the local construction parties in Indonesia accept the "Chinese standards," "Chinese speed" and "Chinese quality".

During the implementation of the project, Deng actively played a vanguard and exemplary role. He took the lead in joining the Party member commando team of the project expert group and became a backbone force among the youth. He voluntarily took on the work tasks that were crucial, dangerous and arduous. Through teamwork, they overcame one new technical problem and difficulty after another in the project, contributing a share of the "State Grid strength" to the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.
