At the 11th Provincial Congress of the Provincial Association for Science and Technology held on December 18, Liu Youmei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and academician expert workstation of Liancheng Group, was awarded the "most beautiful scientific and technological worker" in Hunan Province in 2021 ". Zhang Qingwei, secretary of the provincial party committee, presented a certificate of honor to academician Liu Youmei.

The title of "the most beautiful scientific and technological worker" is to further carry forward the spirit of scientists, strengthen the political guidance and political absorption of the vast number of scientific and technological workers in Hunan, and stimulate the sense of honor, pride and responsibility of the vast number of scientific and technological workers. A total of 10 comrades were awarded the title.

Academician Liu Youmei's experience can be described as a microcosm of the times. In the history of the development of China's rail transit equipment manufacturing industry, he interprets the understanding from "made in China" to "made in China" in a struggling way.

Today, Academician Liu Youmei, who is over eighty years old, is still full of energy, still selfless dedication, and strives to be at the forefront of my country's rail transit equipment technology research and development. "Scientific and technological workers have a lot of responsibility and pressure, but they are very happy to have so many opportunities to work hard and innovate." "I have no other extravagant hopes except to fight for the national electric locomotive industry all my life and promote the technological progress of world rail transit equipment." This is the greatest pursuit of academician Liu Youmei, one of the most beautiful scientific and technological workers and scientists.

Academician Liu Youmei

He has been engaged in the design and research and development of electric traction for rail transit for a long time, which has filled many gaps in China's electric locomotives. He is known as "the father of China's electric locomotives" by the industry. He is the pioneer of China's electric locomotive industry and the leader of green intelligent rail transit equipment.
