2006年出生的何晓嫚，是长春数字科技职业学院的学生，也是即将开赛的第48届世界技能大赛轨道车辆技术项目全球唯一参赛女选手。

He Xiaoman, born in 2006, is a student from Changchun Digital Technology Vocational College. She is the only female competitor in the rail vehicle technology event at the upcoming 48th WorldSkills Competition.

2024年，何晓嫚从河北赴东北求学，入学仅3个月，便凭借扎实的基本功入选学校技能“金牌班”。自此，高强度备赛成为她生活的常态。每天早上7点，她准时抵达实训基地，拆解调试上百个精密部件，反复打磨各项操作技能，训练常常持续至深夜。“我从来不是天赋型选手，靠的是日复一日地训练。”何晓嫚坦言。

Enrolled in 2024, she was selected into the school's special training class for elite students just three months later. Since then she has started a life with intensive training, disassembling and adjusting hundreds of precision components from 7 a.m. to late in the night. "I have never been the most talented. It's all about consistent daily practice," He said.

轨道车辆技术是本届世界技能大赛首次增设的正式赛项。全程18个小时的比拼，对选手的体能耐力、操作精度、抗压能力都是考验。

The rail vehicle technology event will make its debut as an official competition category at this year's competition. Its 18-hour contest will pose a rigorous test on competitors' physical endurance, operational precision and stress resistance.

为强化自身，何晓嫚有针对性地制定肢体力量训练计划，并摸索出一套适配自身的操作方法，以细腻精准的技术优势，弥补体能上的差距。

To make up for physical gap between herself and male competitors in handling heavy vehicle components, He has designed targeted strength training plans and developed a set of personalized operation methods, leveraging her delicate and precise techniques to offset her disadvantages in physical strength.

在何晓嫚看来，女性的细心与耐心，是精密检修、故障排查环节的优势。“我想站在国际赛场上证明，女生在工科赛道上一样可以做得很好。”她说，“我希望通过我的努力影响更多的人，带动大家投身到轨道车辆产业中来。”

"Women's carefulness and patience are our strengths in precision maintenance and fault detection. I want to prove on the international stage that girls can also excel in engineering fields, and inspire more people to join the rail vehicle industry," He said.
