“大吊车，真厉害……”这首曲子在年少的许振超心底埋下了梦的种子：长大要开大吊车。

初中文化的他，成为青岛港的一名桥吊司机。干就干一流，争就争第一，他身上有种不服输的劲儿，业余时间全扑在对桥吊的钻研上，走哪儿带着笔记本和英汉小词典，上面密密麻麻写满了笔记。

为了学习国外先进技术，他捧着英文资料一看一个通宵。拆解电路板，倒推电路图，累得眼睛疼，他就用冰块敷上一会儿继续干。

他带领团队破解安全生产难题，为国家节约巨额成本；他带领团队八次刷新世界集装箱装卸记录，为中国成为世界集装箱装卸大国献出心血和智慧。

三十年如一日，许振超从一名普通的码头工人成长为一名桥吊专家、全国劳模、改革先锋，谱写了“大国工匠”新的华章。
