In the roaring production workshop, the back of a figure in dark blue work clothes is bent over, observing the running track of a walking trolley. He is Li Peng, an unloader who has been working in this ordinary position for six years. He has written his own innovative story with a spring. "Every time I pass the unloading area, I can hear the motor and the gear rack clashing." Li Peng pointed to the walking trolley on the track. As the "peripheral nerves" of the production line, the employees in the unloading position are most aware of the subtle abnormalities in the equipment operation. This seemingly "non-production-affecting" small problem planted the seed of innovation in his heart.

Without professional drawings, Li Peng sketched on the ground next to the equipment with chalk; not understanding mechanics calculations, he used his mobile phone to repeatedly study the moment the equipment vibrated. For several weeks, whenever he had a spare moment, he would measure the vibration amplitude with a tape measure and compare the gear wear data with a vernier caliper. Until one day, he saw a colleague adjusting the spring buckle of a safety helmet, and a flash of inspiration struck him: "How about installing a 'shock-absorbing belt' for the motor?"

Li Peng found the equipment maintenance personnel to discuss the most reasonable way to weld the spring. The improvement process was not smooth sailing; each attempt surprised him. Because, once the improvement is successful, it will greatly reduce the maintenance frequency of the equipment. He hates equipment maintenance the most. Li Peng said, "Every time I repair equipment, it's like taking care of my child; I hate even more to see it working while sick."

After many attempts, a spring was finally connected to the left beam of the trolley and the bottom of the motor, which does not affect normal operation but allows the gear rack to be tightly coupled. This spring is like installing a buffer insole for the motor, making every step more stable. "Li Peng shows us that innovation is not the patent of the laboratory; true wisdom is often hidden in the soil of the production site."

"Every position is fertile ground for innovation. I didn't expect to win an award for the 'motor fixing improvement'. The motivation at that time was that the problem was right in front of me. People who are not in this position are not easy to discover it. Since I am in this position, if I put a little thought into it, it is not impossible to solve it. If I let it be, I would always feel uneasy. Spending a little more time to improve it, with the cooperation of colleagues from other departments, it didn't feel that difficult. After the improvement, my work is easier, my mind is clear, and my efficiency has also increased. I also received praise from the department leaders and the 'Innovation Star' award from the group. I think this is worth doing, and I will continue to do it in the future..." Li Peng's speech at the Innovation Star award ceremony was simple yet powerful.

Li Peng's last award was in last year's "Lianxin New Force Singing Competition" held by Lianxin Casting Group, where he won first prize. At that time, the award-winning Li Peng said happily: "Actually, I think there are many Lianxin people who sing better than me. I may have a better mentality. The company has such a stage, giving me the opportunity, so I seize the opportunity to prepare actively and participate wholeheartedly! I think as long as I participate, I can grow and gain something."

Perhaps, in Lianxin Casting Group, Li Peng is not the one with the loudest voice or the most innovative person. Like most Lianxin people, he works diligently and diligently in the most ordinary positions. But the extra bit of positive optimism and proactive participation in his spirit is like a dazzling light, illuminating our future...

Today, more and more "Li Pengs" in Lianxin Casting Group are beginning to measure their positions with discerning eyes. Every position is full of hope for innovation. Settle down, bury your head, "Is there a spring waiting to be discovered in your position?"
