The Grand Prix Chronicles

On March 7, 2025 | 15:00 sharp, competitors and judges assembled as Floor Chief Ma Bin ignited the contest with a commanding whistle. Instantly, the arena transformed into a theater of metal mastery.

From meticulous grain patterning to micrometer-level gloss adjustments, each phase tested contestants’ technical mastery and perseverance. The workshop pulsed with sparks flying like tracer rounds – the air thick with the signature scent of grinding silica and energized metal. This was more than technical rivalry; it was a crucible of human endurance.

The Verdict Arena

In the arena of judgment, scoring teams conduct multidimensional assessments—evaluating surface integrity, grit precision, operational efficiency, and 5S discipline with calibrated rigor. Amid the electrifying yet orderly atmosphere, every still-warm workpiece stands imbued with its creator’s highest aspirations and hard-forged dreams.

The judges sometimes lean forward to examine carefully, and at other times whisper among themselves. They meticulously review each entry, with every detail thoroughly discussed. This approach ensures fairness, impartiality, and transparency in the selection process. During the evaluation, it is not only about assessing the works themselves but also about deeply understanding and interpreting the spirit of craftsmanship.

Moment of glory

After a tense and thrilling competition, the final champion has been decided. The winners of this contest are as follows: first place Chen Xi, second place Yang Jinlin, and third place Wang Baoqiang. The honor of the winners not only represents recognition of their skills but also serves as an encouragement for all 'Lirang people' to continue moving forward. At the award ceremony, there was not only joy from victory but also a sense of anticipation for the future.
