Yuan Chuanwei: a One-Man Production Line

Yuan Chuanwei is in charge of production in a precision equipment company located in Suzhou, Jiangsu province. On January 26, while staying in his hometown of Yancheng for the Spring Festival, Yuan received an urgent order from Wuhan for the parts of hydrogen peroxide sterilization equipment. He was told that due to the serious epidemic, Hubei's hospitals desperately needed hydrogen peroxide disinfectors.

Yuan immediately contacted relevant authorities and completed the procedures for resuming production. Then he found he was the only worker at the factory. Others had all returned home for family reunion and were currently required to quarantine at home, which meant they could not return to work. 

From the night of January 27 on, Yuan lived and worked non-stop in the workshop, only taking a nap on the sofa when tired. Normally it would take five employees to complete 200 sets in 15 days, but Yuan alone fulfilled the order in 16 days. The parts he produced were soon assembled into hydrogen peroxide sterilization equipment by his partner and sent to the frontline of Hubei. Single-handedly, Yuan ran the whole production line all by himself.

As more factories successively resumed production and the shortage of materials was solved, Yuan received more orders. "The work is tiring, but the pain is way better than that of the epidemic," he said.

袁傳偉：一個人扛起整條生產線

袁傳偉，江蘇省蘇州市一家精密器械有限公司生產負責人。2020年1月26日，在老家江蘇鹽城過春節的他，接到了一份為武漢生產消毒設備零部件的緊急訂單。合作伙伴告訴他，由于疫情嚴重，湖北急需過氧化氫消毒器為醫院消毒。

1月27日，袁傳偉緊急聯系相關部門辦理復工手續，然而卻面臨著沒有工人的問題，很多回家過年的工人在老家自我隔離，不被允許外出。當晚，他開始24小時吃住在工廠，一天只休息兩個小時。通常情況下，做完這一批200套的訂單，需要5名員工協同合作15天，而袁傳偉一個人用了16天時間完成了這批訂單。他生產的零部件，經由合作伙伴組裝成過氧化氫消毒器成品，發往湖北抗疫一線，可以說，袁傳偉憑借一己之力扛起了整條生產線。

隨著工廠陸續復工，材料短缺問題得到解決，袁傳偉接手了更多零部件生產任務，他說：“辛苦總比疫情奪去人的生命要好。”
