The selection of model workers is not to establish such a specific person, but to carry forward a model worker spirit. In fact, it reflects the humanistic spirit of an era and the life value and moral orientation of a nation in a certain era. It simply and profoundly shows the evolution and development of human spirit in an era; It solemnly and romantically embodies a nation's thoughts and feelings of the times. It represents the values, morality and spiritual outlook of an era, shows the lofty character of the Chinese nation's tenacious struggle and self-improvement, and embodies the spiritual outlook of our great nation's advancing with the times and pioneering and innovating. Model worker spirit is the spirit that leads the times, and model worker value creates social value. The model workers in each era have their own characteristics, but no matter how the times change, the essence of the model workers' spirit will never change. The power of example is infinite.

"If you wear flowers, you will wear big red flowers, and if you listen to them, you will listen to the Party ..." This old song of the 1950s and 1960s inspired many people in that era to wear big red flowers. Show the world that labor is the greatest, model workers are the most glorious, and model workers should become the most dazzling stars in people's hearts. At that time, Li Ruihuan, Ni Zhifu, Hao Jianxiu, Wang Jinxi, Shi Chuanxiang, Zhang Binggui, Xiang, and Wang Chonglun emerged, which inspired and influenced a whole generation. Their deeds inspired a generation to learn technology and want to be a good worker. The realization of the First Five-Year Plan and the Second Five-Year Plan was completed in the hands of this generation. The spirit of this generation of model workers is still working. Some old model workers have broken through major technical difficulties through invention and creation, making production advance by leaps and bounds. For example, Ni Zhifu's electric drill, Wang Linhe's high-voltage electric bridge and Cai Zuquan's electric light source have all "transformed the world, but nothing has changed".

From Shi Chuanxiang and Wang Jinxi to Ni Zhifu and Hao Jianxiu, from Wang Xuan and Yuan Longping to Wang Jianjun, Li and so on. Although the labor model groups in each era also present diversified combinations to show their affirmation of different labor values, the general trend is that the social evaluation of labor values is changing from "making great efforts and sweat" and "working hard and skilled" to knowledge-based and creating social and economic benefits. This change is completely consistent with the transformation process of new China from an agricultural society and a closed and self-sufficient society to industrialization, modernization and gradual opening up. The model workers selected in each era represent the advanced productive forces and healthy and upward forces of that era.
