英文：Shen Jilan: The First National Model Worker to Champion Equal Pay. Shen Jilan was born in 1929 in Pingshun County, Shanxi Province. At the age of 52, she was elected as the vice president of the Xigou Village Primary Agricultural Production Cooperative. At that time, women received only five work points per day while men were entitled to ten for the same labor. Troubled by this unfair treatment, Shen organized a labor competition between women and men. To everyone's surprise, the women won. She then proposed the principle of “equal pay for equal work between men and women.” Her proposal was officially written into China‘s first Constitution in 1954 and has since inspired generations of Chinese women. In 1953, Shen was honored as the First National Model Worker. For seven decades, she remained deeply rooted in rural life, never leaving farming despite holding leadership positions. In 1973, when appointed director of the Shanxi Provincial Women’s Federation, she turned down a salary and insisted on “no salary, no permanent residence transfer, no designated car.” For many years, she continued to farm in her village even in her eighties and nineties. In 2019, she was awarded the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest national honor. Shen Jilan passed away in 2020 at the age of 91. Her undaunted spirit and lifelong dedication to justice continue to be remembered as a shining legacy.
中文:申纪兰：共和国首位提出“男女同工同酬”的劳动模范 申纪兰，1929年出生于山西省平顺县。1951年，她被选为西沟村初级农业生产合作社副社长。当时，妇女干一天的活儿只计5个工分，而男人却可以拿到10个工分。为改变这不公平的规定，她带领妇女们和男人展开劳动竞赛。让所有人惊讶的是，妇女们赢了。随后，申纪兰提出了“男女同工同酬”的主张。1954年，这一主张被正式写入新中国第一部宪法，影响了一代又一代中国女性。1953年，申纪兰被评为第一届全国劳动模范。七十年来，她始终扎根乡村，即使身居领导岗位也从未脱离过劳动。1973年她被任命为山西省妇联主任时，不仅没有拿工资，还坚持“不领工资、不转户口、不要专车”。八九十岁高龄时，她依然下地干农活。2019年，她被授予共和国勋章，这是中国的最高国家荣誉。2020年，申纪兰逝世，享年91岁。她那不屈不挠的精神和一生对公平正义的执着追求，至今仍被世人铭记。
