Interview with Zhu Shunyu: Water Meter Life Across Three Era

[China Instrument Network Instrument Characters] Zhu Shunyi, 97 years old, worked in 1938 and retired in 1986. It is one of the few people Changchun Water Group has experienced during the period of the pseudo-manchu period, the period of liberation war, and the post-liberation Changchun water supply vicissitudes. It is the person who most understands the water meter in Changchun City.

The 97-year-old man spans the “watch life” of the three eras

Near the bustling Chongqing Road shopping district, there is a quiet residential quarter, located behind the Zhuo Zhan Shopping Center - the Changchun Water Supply Company's dormitory building. There lived an old waterman who had experienced three generations. His name is Zhu Shunyi. The people who knew him all said: "This old man is a person who knows most about the water meter in Changchun City."

He tapped the door, and the daughter-in-law of the old man let reporters into the room. The old man wore glasses. Although his hair had almost fallen out, he was still full of red light and his body was extraordinarily tough. There was no need to ask if this was Zhu Shunyi's old man. The old man was embarrassed and full of energy. He spoke to reporters in an interview.

Zhu Shunyi told reporters that during the pseudo-Manchu period, he worked in the Waterway Division as a maintenance technician and was responsible for the installation of water meters. During the Kuomintang period, he worked at the Nanling Water Purification Plant and was responsible for the installation and maintenance of the water meters. After the liberation, he continued to be responsible for the installation of water meters and the maintenance of technicians until the time from Changchun. Water Group retired and used its water meter for a lifetime. Speaking of his “water meter life” that spans three eras, Zhu Lao is filled with emotions...

The young man helped the Japanese repair the water meter and was bitten by the dog. In 1919, Zhu Shunyu was born in a small village in Renqiu, Hebei Province. After graduating from high school, he came to Changchun alone to work.

Zhu Shunyi recalled that during the Manchu Period, South Lake was one of the water sources in Changchun. In addition, Jingyuetan Reservoir and Xinlicheng Reservoir also supplied water to Changchun City. He said that at that time, the Chinese people were often bullied. Once he went to the bank dormitory on the south side of Xi’an Road and repaired a water meter for a Japanese household. Who knows after completing the water meter, the Japanese not only did not thank him but instead gave up a bite of a wolf dog. He, a dog so big as a wild wolf, pounced on a bite and broke Chunshun's cotton trousers. Dog teeth bit deep into his left thigh and his tears burst into tears. The Japanese person did not have the meaning of apologizing. He looked coldly at Zhu Shunyan. At that time, he was really angry and could not speak. Zhu Shunyi said nothing, dragged his left leg that was bitten by a dog, and returned home one by one. After a few days on my own medicine, I was left with a particularly obvious flaw on my left leg. It is still 97 years old today.

During the period of the pseudo-Manchu Period, the main leaders of the Waterway Branch under the Japanese Manchurian Puppet Manchurian Period were the Japanese. There were hundreds of Chinese people working and only 10 Japanese people working. Zhu Shunyu said: “At that time, the address of the Waterway Division was near the People’s Square Provincial Hotel. At that time, I was a water meter technician.”

Zhu La introduced that the water meters used by Changchun during the period of the pseudo-Manchu period were all imported. The water meters of the United States, Japan, and the former Soviet Union were all dry-type water meters. The surface of the water meter was cast iron, and the components inside were copper. They needed to be broken. Accessories are now almost gone. The old “dry water meter” has poor sensitivity. When the water flow is small, the water meter cannot be monitored. After the liberation, the “wet water meter” is used and the small water flow can be monitored.

The unit was renamed under the control of the Kuomintang during the chaotic war of liberation. Zhu Shun was a foreman and there were more than 10 people under his hand. Zhu Shunzhao recalled: “After the Kuomintang controlled Changchun, the Waterway Branch was renamed the Water Management Office. The office is located in the old building of the current municipal government. The management is chaotic. Workers extract the oil from the transformer and warm it, and some people steal the transformer.” Once, Zhu Shunyi and another colleague were called to go to the city hospital to repair the water meter and took the money to the canteen to buy food at lunchtime. They did not even sell it to them. There was no way they could only carry heavy parts and go home to eat. Because it is too far away from home, it is inconvenient to come back and forth, and there is no way to solve the problem by finding a unit leader the next day.

Technology Daner was seconded to “FAW” to create a large water meter. In early 1949, Zhu Shunyi took a two-year stretcher on the front line of Tianjin. In 1951, he returned to Changchun and continued to perform water meter replacement and maintenance work at the water plant. This was a technical grab at the factory. On one occasion, he was seconded to the Changchun First Automobile Manufacturing Plant to help FAW manufacture an ultra-large water meter. Because of production needs, it is necessary to install a water meter on a 600 mm main bar. This water meter does not have to be developed independently. Zhu Shunyi led a group of FAW technical workers to overcome difficulties and took five months to successfully develop the super-large water meter. He also taught the FAW technical worker how to repair it. FAW consciously left him to work. The water plant said nothing. Zhu Shunyi returned to the water plant.

Polypropylene Wax

1. Polypropylene(PP) wax is a chemical substance produced by thermal cracking, cut by heating and crushed by hot air. It has high melting point (usually higher than Polyethylene Wax), good lubricity, good dispersibility, can improve the gloss of plastic products, and low melt viscosity.

Polypropylene wax is a chemical produced by cracking, cut off by heat and pulverized by hot air.

Widely used in high-tech fields, such as paper coating toner and film condensation, also including pigment dispersants, lubricants, various synthetic resin molding release agents, printing ink and coating modifiers and fabric treatment additives.
