Abstract:Advocating of labor heroes has a long history and important practical signifi cance in our country. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region government rewarded labor heroes in production, promoting the production movement to learn from labor heroes. This movement also played a great role in the development of production and construction in the border areas, and shaping new labor concepts. Since then, the concept of labor glory gradually formed. In this process, more and more labor heroes emerged from the organized masses, and the values of collective heroism were spread among the masses. The emergence of the leading, backbone, and bridge roles that the labor hero group played among the masses has a unique effect on promoting work, cultivating cadres, and contacting the masses. This is actually an innovation in the forms of production organization and working methods.
