She has been taking a lead in tackling key R&D problems,and said although boom performance has reached the highest level worldwide,XCMG is constantly seeking continuous breakthroughs in product reliability.

"Technology is evolving all the time,and only by working harder than others can we take a leading position in technological innovation," said Fu. "XCMG has provided a great platform for engineers and technicians like us,especially in its support of female talent to accomplish our own career pursuits. When my child says proudly on the street that 'this is the crane my mother has designed,' I feel a great sense of accomplishment,that the time I spent chasing my dream is now inspiring my child to expect his own."

Lu Yilinis a industrial designer and she has been working at XCMG for 10 years.
