Guoer, accused of that, has posted some long videos. Over an hour of Diesel engine overhaul. Start to finish on a motor rewinding job. With this one, though, there was probably some assistance not shown. Somehow, a lot of concrete got up to the top of the mountain. There's no reason she shouldn't have some unskilled laborers lifting and carrying.

While she appears to have started the series herself, it's been covered by Xhihua and promoted by the Party. So it does have propaganda aspects.

Her work has scary aspects. The electrical wiring is unsafe. An uncovered knife switch for 220V? No fuses or circuit breakers? Ordinary wire out in the open, not nonmetallic armored? Generators with no voltage regulation? That's 1980s China, not 2020s China. Wiring accessories are cheap in China; price them on Alibaba.

Well, the videos are pushing the "genius mountain girl" thingy hard.

But I think showing helpers for target audience might've had reverse problem, people would assume just because some man shows up in the shots that they were the ones doing the hard part, even if they were in the end just "unskilled helpers", which sadly happens in many male-dominated industries where woman is automatically assumed to be less skilled or getting help.

HOOOO, boy. Are you wrong there. Major cities sure, and they're improving as a whole, but SO much of China's heavy-industrial and rural provinces are still run on and over systems that mentally invoke the <internally screaming> meme.

You're probably right, but this is new construction.

Guoer rewinds a lot of motors, most of which have a standard cast iron frame and field windings. She's regularly opening up old motors and finding burned-out windings. Badly burned out windings. Clearly, no motor protection circuit breakers were used.

She does use eye protection when angle grinding. She's a real artist with a angle grinder. She makes parts out of scrap sheet and tube with a angle grinder and a welder. I've seen people do worse with a whole machine shop available.
