197 1 in the summer of, my mother was seven months pregnant and sent to Huangshi, Hubei with my father. The sultry weather in the south makes my mother very uncomfortable. In order to cool down, my mother put a cushion on the roof to sleep at night. It seems that the mother's maladjustment to the environment has also affected the baby in her belly. From birth to primary school, Panther Chen has been very weak and a "medicine jar". 1 1 years old, the whole family moved to Tianjin with their father. Panther Chen's father is tall and handsome. "Others think his father is strict, but I'm not afraid of him." . During this period, Panther Chen often followed his father to exercise, swimming and running, which not only strengthened his physique, but also exercised his will quality. My father who works in a design institute has a great influence on Panther Chen's growth. When I was a child, Panther Chen often went to my father's office to watch him draw all kinds of pictures. She plays with the painting and pen in her hand. That is, from then on, Panther Chen liked architecture, "especially the smell of ammonia in the blueprint". After the college entrance examination, she naturally chose architecture as her major. In the 1980s, making long-distance calls was not an easy task. The news that Panther Chen was brushed off in the art examination of architecture specialty after the entrance examination finally reached her father's unit from school-she was rejected by the architecture. "It's a big blow and it feels like the sky is falling." This 17-year-old girl suffered the first blow in her life and had to choose a new major. In the end, she chose the major of industrial and civil architecture, hoping to become an architect again one day. "The experience of being hit hard since childhood has both advantages and disadvantages for my growth. Because bad things can always turn into good things. " Panther Chen smiled calmly. Behind this calm is persistence and never giving up.

■ As soon as she took office, she advocated reversing the skeptical eyes.

Water Cube, a magical building called "Blue Rubik's Cube". The chief engineer who mobilized all forces and directed thousands of workers to build this world-famous project is a beautiful young woman. Her name is Panther Chen. In March 2004, 33-year-old Panther Chen was in charge of bidding for the Water Cube on behalf of China Construction First Bureau. With his familiarity with the Water Cube and his experience in undertaking several large-scale projects, he was appointed as the chief engineer of the Water Cube by the company. However, Panther Chen, who just took office, encountered unexpected difficulties. Some of her baby faces and big eyes make people think that she is still a little girl. It is hard for owners and supervisors to believe that this little girl can shoulder such an important burden and deliberately tell her every time she decides something. "This makes me unconvinced. I have a temper, I want to prove myself and never give up. " Panther Chen said. Although Panther Chen was wronged, he didn't want to back down and never panicked. She has been waiting for a chance to prove herself. When the steel structure support of "Water Cube" was unloaded, Panther Chen proposed to use a new type of scaffold, which was a new equipment never used in China and was opposed by many people. However, Panther Chen insisted on his own opinion and successfully achieved the unloading. This incident established Panther Chen's reputation in this project.

■ In the end, she burst into tears after the water cube was unloaded. The "Water Cube" with a building area of 80,000 square meters has two to three times the workload of the same project. The concrete structure with durable life 1000 years and the new polyhedral space steel frame structure based on "bubble theory" ... These technologies have become the highlights of independent innovation now, but they are really fierce obstacles in the design and construction of "water cube". Without ready-made experience, every step needs careful argumentation, and you are always under the pressure of possible failure. June 16, 2006, a day that Panther Chen will never forget. The second unloading of the main steel structure support system of "Water Cube". During the three and a half hours of unloading, Panther Chen tightened all her nerves. When the last jack quit his job and the steel frame stood successfully, she burst into tears. In the whole water cube project, Panther Chen wanted to give up several times. When the project reached the steel structure, she found that no matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she could not promote the progress of the project. At that time, depressed Panther Chen felt that she could not continue. At the end of the initial leadership team, only three people, including Panther Chen, remained unchanged, while others gave up halfway. "There is no other reason. I just don't allow myself to give up halfway and be a deserter. " Panther Chen said.

■ Behind her strength, she wants to work and take care of her children. When it comes to the completion and trial operation of the Water Cube, Panther Chen is not as worried and frustrated as expected. She said that she injected life into the water cube, and the water cube also made her. Unlike other projects, Panther Chen did not quit after the Water Cube was completed, and she has been in charge of the subsequent competitions. When the last swimming event of the Paralympic Games ended, all the engineers breathed a sigh of relief: "At last!" But she knows that after the end, she will go to the Water Cube every day to handle the final project settlement. After the Water Cube, Panther Chen hasn't taken over a new job. Her greatest wish is to take a big vacation and spend time with her children. "My son has just entered the fourth grade, and I need to study hard." Panther Chen said that she has gradually stepped into this industry from passivity to a little liking, and wants to continue to make big projects. On the other hand, I want to take more responsibility for my family. "I want to take care of my children at least until junior high school." For many awards, she said it would not change her life. She hopes that the Water Cube is not the peak of her life, but a milestone, a new starting point and more opportunities for her.
