Stories of celebrities' punctuality

1. That year, Lu Xun's father was ill and was lying in bed. While studying at school, Lu Xun had to help with housework and ran between the pawnshop and the drugstore every day. One morning, Lu Xun was late for school Mr. Shou Jason Wu, who is famous for his integrity and conscientious teaching, sternly said such a sentence: "It's early in the future!" Lu Xun listened without saying anything and silently returned to his seat. He gently carved a small word on the desk: "Good morning". From then on, Lu Xun was never late for school, always early, everything early, and struggled all his life.

2. The concept of time reflects a person's attitude towards work and life. Liu Chuanzhi is famous for his "self-discipline". He "inspires others" by "managing himself". Trustworthiness is first manifested in his punctuality, and Liu Chuanzhi's own punctuality is also amazing. In countless meetings in the past 20 years, he was late for no more than five times.

Once he went to China Renmin University to give a speech. In order not to be late, he arrived half an hour early and waited in the car outside the meeting room. He got off the bus 10 minutes before the meeting and arrived at the meeting on time.

In the first half of 2007, the Wenzhou business community invited Liu Chuanzhi to "communicate". At that time, heavy rain hit Wenzhou and Liu Chuanzhi's plane forced to land in Shanghai. The staff suggested flying to Wenzhou the next morning. Liu Chuanzhi disagreed, fearing that the plane could not attend the meeting on time the next day, he found someone to find a "business car" to travel overnight, and finally arrived in Wenzhou at about six o'clock the next morning. When Liu Chuanzhi appeared at the meeting place with red eyes, the famous Wenzhou entrepreneur was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

Wei Yun Temple is probably the most punctual person in Shanghai. He is the fourth night watchman of Shanghai Customs. 1982, engaged in logistics management. 199 1 year, because of the promotion of his master, he began to take over the night watchman. As a result, the clock has become his daily concern. If he doesn't go to the bell tower once a day, he will feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes I suddenly get suspicious before going to bed. He is not sure whether he turned on the clock (wound it) when he went to work during the day. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. So he called a taxi from his home in Pudong to the Bund in the middle of the night, climbed the bell tower and checked it again. After the diagnosis, he can go home and have a good sleep.

Such "obsessive-compulsive disorder" happened many times at the beginning of succession. In the past 28 years, there have been five or six "accidents". Most of the kites on the Bund are hung on the flagpole of the Customs Building, and the thread on the kite is wrapped around the pointer, so the pointer stops when walking. Some tourists or citizens look up and find that the time is wrong, so they should make a complaint call or notify the doorman of the customs building. There is no angle AB of the guardian clock. No matter where the people in Wei Yun Temple are, they must get to the rescue at the first time. ...

After 199 1 year, Wei Yun Temple rarely went out of Shanghai. The only trip took place in 2009, when he was rated as advanced, and the unit rewarded him for traveling to Xi 'an. After much deliberation, he decided to give up. It was not until his master, the third night watchman, heard about it that he took the initiative to cover the transfer, and the Wei Yun Temple was able to make a trip.

A few years ago, Wei Yun Temple's father died, and before the funeral was arranged, he rushed to the bell tower to wind the clock. Any complaints? Wei Yun Temple did not directly answer the reporter. He only mentioned one thing-at the end of 2065438+07, which coincided with the 90th birthday of the Customs Building, he received dozens of residents of Bund Street.

These residents have listened to the clock for decades, and the balcony nearest to the clock is even less than 100 meter, but they still stepped into the "heart" of the clock for the first time to see how the clockwork and the bell rang. One of the residents said to Wei Yun Temple, "The custom clock sleeps with me. I can't sleep without the bell."

Wei Yun Temple knows that it guards not only time, but also the image of Shanghai School and the symbol of Shanghai.

Shanghai Customs Clock, like Big Ben in London and Red Square Clock in Moscow, is produced by the same British company, and is called the three largest clocks in the world. At that time, the total cost of clocks in Shanghai Customs was as high as more than 5,000 taels of silver, which was shipped from London to Shanghai in August of 1927. ?

At that time, when the clock weighing 6.25 tons was hoisted to the 72-meter-high bell tower together with the original wooden box, pedestrians on the Bund Road stopped to watch this hoisting spectacle. This year, the customs clock is 92 years old, and the fourth caretaker, Wei Yun Temple, will also retire on April 20 1 1/2009. So, who will keep the big clock in the future? Is the bell of Shanghai Customs Building still ringing?

Wei Yun Temple said that it is still unknown. What he can reveal is that since 20 18, the 90-year-old clock often stops for no reason. "This may be related to the clock's age and physical decline, but it may also be due to urban development and ground changes affecting the balance of the clock base."

Considering that the British manufacturer of this clock is still alive, Shanghai Customs tried its best to find this enterprise. The two sides agreed that the British manufacturer would conduct a comprehensive physical examination of Zhong in the spring of 20 19 and issue an evaluation report. Finally, the British side came up with a plan-whether to overhaul it or let Zhong "die"?

In fact, to be on the safe side, Shanghai Customs has developed a set of motor drive and electronic control scheme for the clock, which was put into trial operation in September 20 18. This scheme completely replaces the mechanical time-telling, and the hourly bell and the engraved music are played electronically.

Now the clock is still struck with a heavy hammer, and the carved song "Dongfanghong" has long been electronic. A short while is a piece of music, at 2: 30 and 3: 00, the hour is a complete song. "

As for whether the customs clock can continue to run, whether the manual calibration and time stamp of the clock are completely replaced by the electronic system, I am afraid that these will not be announced until April and May of 20 19. As far as I am concerned, I will definitely remember my father's teaching: If you do something, do it well. I will guard the clock until the last day! "Wei Yun Temple said.
