“老西”的浙江足跡

2019年7月，87歲的西特里維·德米特里·尼基弗諾維奇從俄羅斯趕來杭州，參加在這里舉行的浙江省屬企業人才工作推進會暨巨化“人才強企”推介會。會議氣氛熱烈，就和杭州的天氣一樣。

“我親身經歷了巨化氟化工的成長壯大。看著巨化氟化工的成長，就像看著自己的孩子一般，心中充滿欣慰與自豪：孩子長大了?！北痪藁擞H切地稱為“老西”的西特里維，是俄羅斯應用化學科學中心原總工程師，1994年受聘于浙江省衢州市巨化集團任技術指導，一待就是25年。在會議上，老西動情地說，巨化和浙江對科技人才的重視讓他充滿激情、干勁十足，“我希望更多的專家、人才來到浙江，這個選擇不會錯?！?/p>

1994年，中俄合資企業浙江巨圣氟化學有限公司成立，老西受聘擔任浙江省衢州市巨化集團的技術指導。

浙江被老西看作是自己的第二故鄉，用他的話說：“浙江讓我有用武之地。”老西把浙江當作了自己的家，努力地為企業貢獻自己的力量，這些年獲獎無數——

1997年獲得浙江省首屆“西湖友誼獎”;

2004年被浙江省人民政府授予勞動模范稱號，成為浙江省首位外籍勞動模范;

2016年獲浙江省“西湖友誼杰出貢獻獎”;

2018年獲改革開放40周年最具影響力的外國專家稱號;同年11月，獲得浙江省國有企業特別貢獻獎。

Ta眼里的浙江

每天清晨，在浙江衢州巨化賓館旁的公園里，人們經?？梢钥吹揭晃荒杲叛亩砹_斯老人。他拄著拐杖在綠茵道散步，精神矍鑠。大家都親切地叫他“老西”。而他也很喜歡“老西”這個稱呼，他說，這讓他有一種融入的感覺。

1994年，老西來到浙江，一待就是25年。

他是浙江第一位“洋勞?！?，在浙江這塊熱土上默默耕耘，無私地為浙江巨化氟化工發展獻計獻策，用專業和敬業架起了中俄兩國友誼的橋梁。

老西目睹了浙江的快速發展，也對浙江充滿了感情。他說：“浙江歷來重視與國際的交流與合作，省外專局領導每年都參加我的生日晚宴，送來祝福和問候。到浙江工作讓我感覺自己是被需要的?？梢哉f，在浙江我擁有了第二次生命……”

“這些年來，浙江發展迅速，成立了許多合資企業。接下來我還想留在浙江。在單位，我還能在很多技術問題上提供幫助。”

他很慶幸能在浙江扎下了根，接下來他還要繼續在巨化發光發熱，和那些為夢想而努力的人們一起并肩奮斗。“浙江經濟社會發展迅速，越來越美麗和國際化，愿為浙江經濟社會發展、為中俄友誼繼續貢獻力量?！?/p>

87-year-old Sitlivy Dmitry has been in Zhejiang for 25 years. The Russian engineer came over as a technological advisor to Juhua Group， a chemistry production powerhouse in Quzhou in southwestern Zhejiang. Since then Sitlivy Dmitry has considered Quzhou his second home. In his own words， “It is in Zhejiang that my life has come into full blossom.”

Before he came to China， he was chief engineer of the Russian Scientific Center of Applied Chemistry. Under his leadership in Zhejiang， experts from both sides worked hard to start the production of polytetrafluoroethylene （PTFE） within three months， leading to the largest-scale cooperation at the time between the two countries in this field.

Discovered in 1983， PTFE is a synthetic compound of carbon and fluorine， and has found applications in nonstick cookware， among other daily-use items.

In the 1990s when Chinas fluorine industry was still in its infancy and relevant expertise was limited， Sitlivy Dmitry put all his efforts into training his Chinese colleagues.

From chemical mechanisms， material supplies， use of facilities， analysis methodologies to security and environmental issues， he taught Chinese technicians without reservation and gradually cultivated a number of talents.

His contribution in Zhejiang to Chinas modernization has been widely recognized. Among his friends and colleagues in Quzhou he is fondly known as Old Si， a shortened nickname from Sitlivy. In 1997， he was a recipient of “West Lake Friendship Award”， which was issued that year for the first time in Zhejiang. In 2004， Zhejiang Provincial Government conferred “Model Worker” upon him， the first of its kind ever won by an international expert in the province. In 2016， he was awarded the “West Lake Prize for Outstanding Contribution” issued by Zhejiang Provincial Government. In 2018， he was named one of “The Most Influential Foreign Experts during 40 Years of Chinas Reform and Opening-Up”.

Old Si has witnessed the exponential growth of Zhejiang and he is in love with the province. “Zhejiang is always giving top priority to international exchanges and cooperation. Leaders of Zhejiang Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs have attended my birthday party every year for the past 25 years. My work in Zhejiang makes me feel needed and fulfilled. Zhejiang has given me second life，” says Old Si. “Zhejiang has had a large number of joint ventures in these years of fast growth. I want to stay in Zhejiang. I can still be useful in providing assistance on technological issues.”
