Definition
劳模 is a shortened form of 劳动模范, a title awarded to outstanding workers in China, especially during the socialist era. It carries strong positive connotations of dedication, hard work, and serving as a role model. The term is culturally specific — there's no exact English equivalent, as it refers to a state-recognized honor within the Chinese labor system.
n.
