我從小在貴州烏江的一個小鎮(zhèn)長大，因為父親在中國水電八局工作。他們在那里參與修建了中國第一座石灰?guī)r水電站，那是一段艱苦而難忘的光輝歲月。有一年黃巖發(fā)生了爆炸，死了20多位工人，他們的遺體停放在食堂外面的空地上，有一位鄉(xiāng)下的老太太來了，當(dāng)時她的三個兒子在這場事故中都犧牲了。當(dāng)時我就在想：這樣好的天氣，這么可愛的世界，這么多可以做的事，每個人都應(yīng)該活到八十歲，可是他們的生命卻消逝了。

I grew up in a small town in Wujiang, Guizhou, because my father worked at the Sino-hydro Engineering Bureau 8 there, where they built the first hydropower station with limestone landform. Those were arduous and unforgettable times yet full of glory. Once upon a time, there was an explosion in Huangyan killing more than 20 workers. Their remains were placed outside the canteen. A senior lady came from the countryside, because all three of her sons were killed in the accidence. At the time I was thinking with such good weather such a lovely world and so many things to do, everyone should enjoy their life to their eighties, but their lives were gone... 

12年的時間，有無數(shù)的人在工作中獻(xiàn)出了他們的生命。他們所有的人一生可能僅這一份工作，但就是這一份工作卻是他們的一生。新中國的建設(shè)，絕對不是頂級富豪，絕對不是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)金融大佬，絕對不是明星網(wǎng)紅，是千千萬萬個在平凡工作中堅持非凡理想的普通人。他們才是新中國的驕傲。我的年齡越大，我越是天天都回憶起在中國水電八局與爸爸媽媽度過的這7665個日日夜夜。這才是我的高光時刻。每一天都是如此珍貴，每一天都那么讓我難以忘懷。什么是世界上最好的滿心歡喜，就是你可以把所有平凡的工作變得非比尋常。我是非常非常幸運，在人生最美好的年華，在堪稱美麗的小鎮(zhèn)里，在陽光下的菜市場，太陽常常照在我的臉上，暖氣洋洋，美不可擋。我們千萬不要忘記每一位在平凡歲月中為國家建設(shè)努力工作的普通人。我只能來這世上一次，在奔騰的歲月里，我會永遠(yuǎn)記住他們曾經(jīng)努力的故事。

During the 12 years of construction. countless people were sacrificed in their work. All of them may have only one job in their life, but it is this job that they devoted their whole life to. The development of the New China does not owe to the tycoons or the magnates in internet banking or the celebrities. It is the millions of ordinary people who adhere to their extraordinary ideas in their ordinary work, who are the pride of the New China. The older I am the more often I recall the 7665 days and nights I spent with my parents at the Sino-hydro Engineering Bureau 8. Those are the highlight times of my life. Every single day is so precious. Every single day is so unforgettable for me. The best joy in the world is that you can make ordinary job extraordinary. I am very, very luck that in the best years of my life in the beautiful down in the market in the sun. I can always be bathed in the sunlight with overwhelming warmth and unstoppable beauty. Please, do not forget any ordinary person who devoted their whole life to the development of the country. I only live once in the running time. I will always remember the story of their devotion.
