Struggling for a hundred years, setting sail on a new journey The spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists

On September 26, 1959, the Daqing Oilfield was discovered ten years before the founding of New China. A magnificent oil congress gave birth to the spirit of Daqing.

In more than 60 years of struggle, the patriotism spirit of winning glory for the country and the nation, the arduous entrepreneurial spirit of independence and self-reliance, the pragmatic spirit of science and the "three old and four strict", the spirit of dedication to the overall situation and the division of worries for the country, It constitutes the Daqing spirit of "patriotism, entrepreneurship, truth-seeking, and dedication".

On September 26, 2019, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter stating: Over the past 60 years, generations of Daqing people have worked hard and worked hard to build my country's largest oil production base on the ancient wasteland. The outstanding contribution of Daqing Oilfield has been engraved on the historical monument of the great motherland, and the Daqing spirit and the iron man spirit have become an important part of the great spirit of the Chinese nation.

Patriotic Entrepreneurship: Casting the "Soul of Daqing"

In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, hundreds of wastes were waiting for prosperity. Oil, as the bloodline of national construction, affected the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. However, the development of my country's petroleum industry is far behind the world because of poverty and weakness for more than 100 years in modern times.

At the end of the 1950s, the Party Central Committee made a major decision to move the oil exploration strategy eastward. After arduous exploration, on September 26, 1959, the industrial oil flow of Songji Mitsui in the Songliao Basin marked the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield. This is a turning point in the history of China's oil development.

In February 1960, tens of thousands of demobilized officers, soldiers, and scientific and technological workers from all over the motherland rushed to this wasteland to start an arduous and magnificent oil battle.

The spirit of Daqing was conceived in this great battle that swallowed mountains and rivers.

"This difficulty and that difficulty, the country's lack of oil is the biggest difficulty; this contradiction and the contradiction, the country's lack of oil is the biggest contradiction." "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi led the drilling team to Daqing in March 1960, got off the train, and did not ask. Eat, don’t ask to stay, first ask whether the drilling rig has arrived, where is the well, and what is the drilling record.

"I would rather live less than 20 years, and desperately want to win the big oil field." Wang Jinxi said.

Winning glory for the country and winning for the nation is the common pursuit and strong determination of all participants in this congress war.

The Daqing Petroleum Battle was conducted under difficult time, difficult location, and difficult conditions. In the early days of the war, there was no housing, and the war workers could only live in the cowshed and stables or squeeze in the stilts they dug. Some of them were sleeping in the wasteland. Insufficient food supply, the war workers picked frozen cabbage and beet leaves to eat, the "five-two-three meal-guarantee battle".

"If you have the conditions, you must go up. If you don't have the conditions to create the conditions, you must go up." Facing the problem of the crane not in place and the drilling rig waiting to be transported, "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi did not wait and led his teammates to pry with a crowbar, roll with a roller, and pull with a big rope. After three days and nights, the drilling rig was transported to the well site by manpower.

"This is the most vivid embodiment of the hard-working and entrepreneurial spirit of independence and self-reliance in the Daqing spirit." said Wang Lizhi, chief commentator of the Daqing Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial Hall.

Realistic dedication: writing "Daqing miracle"

On the red flag with the spirit of "three old and four strict" on the middle four oil production team of the third oil mine of the first oil production plant of Daqing Oilfield, the names of the team members were signed. As the birthplace of the spirit of "Three Olds and Four Stricts", the team has more than 1,700 people in and out of the four teams over the past 60 years. "Record.

"When dealing with the revolutionary cause, we must be honest, tell the truth, and do honest things; to do revolutionary work, we must have strict requirements, strict organization, serious attitude, and strict discipline. This is not only the tradition of the fourth team, but also One of the profound connotations of the Daqing spirit." said Wang Yilun, the captain of the fourth team.

In the Daqing spirit, the truth-seeking spirit of science and "three old and four strict" deeply embodies the "seeking truth from facts" ideological line of the Communist Party of China.

At the Daqing Oilfield Exploration and Development Research Institute, the 87-year-old former chief engineer of the research institute Yuan Qingfeng maintains the habit of going to the office every day. He has been engaged in scientific research all his life, and he is still working tirelessly at his desk to review manuscripts.

"To do work, we must look farther, think more, ask deeper, speak more truthfully, and do it more realistically." Yuan Qingfeng said that he was like many scientific researchers during the battle, in order to get a hand. According to the data, investigating a well on foot, I hardly slept before 12 o'clock in the night.

Wang Qimin, the second-generation "Iron Man" of Daqing, has worked tirelessly for decades and used the "three super spirit" of "surpassing authority, surpassing predecessors, and surpassing oneself" to break through the traditional theoretical "forbidden zones" and promote the continued high and stable production of Daqing Oilfield .

"Our position is underground, and the object of the struggle is the oil layer. Those who engage in oil must emancipate their minds and have the courage to question them." Wang Qimin said, "If you change your mind, there must be a way out."

A history of oil exploration and development in Daqing is a history of scientific and technological progress. Over the past 60 years, several generations of Daqing Petroleum people have dedicated themselves to scientific and technological innovation and won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress three times, creating a world miracle of high and stable production of more than 50 million tons of crude oil for 27 consecutive years, and continuous and stable production of oil and gas equivalent of more than 40 million tons.

Over the past 60 years, Daqing Oilfield has produced a total of 2.433 billion tons of crude oil, creating a world-leading continental oilfield development level. On the ancient wasteland, a beautiful modern oil city has emerged. Daqing people have made important contributions to the country's economic and social prosperity and development with the spirit of dedication to the overall situation and sharing the country's worries.

Qiu Yuetai, the 86-year-old Daqing Oilfield "Old Battle", was born in Hebei. He came to Daqing Oilfield to participate in the Daqing Oilfield at the age of 25 and took root in Daqing. Qiu Yuetai said that he has never regretted it.

"No matter how difficult the conditions were during the congress war, I never flinched. Why? Because in the old society I couldn't save my life, the party and the state raised me, so what's the temporary difficulty?" Qiu Yuetai said.

Reform and innovation: always maintain "spiritual" vitality

The spirit of Daqing, passed down from generation to generation, has been continuously endowed with new connotations of the times, inspiring generations to continue to struggle.

At a well site in Daqing Oilfield, the derrick stands majestically, and the 1205 drilling team led by "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi is drilling around the clock. Not long ago, the 1205 drilling team used advanced new drilling rigs to break a new record of drilling cycle in the new oil battlefield.

"The old captain of the'Iron Man' was able to create brilliant performance under such difficult conditions. We have no reason not to continue to carry forward the spirit of Daqing and the spirit of Iron Man, and make greater contributions to the protection of national energy security." 1205 Drilling Team Leader Zhang Jing said .

The "Daqing Spirit" is more than just'man pulling the shoulders, digging wells in the water, and jumping into the mud pool with injuries to kill the blowout'. It is also a deep family and country sentiment, a scientific working method and a positive attitude towards life. It embodies the original mission, ideals and beliefs, and fine traditions of our Communist Party of China." said Wang Lili, director of the Daqing Spirit Iron Man Spirit Research Institute of the Party School of Daqing Municipal Party Committee.

Innovation is the key to keeping Daqing's spirit alive and vigorously.

Li Xinmin, the third-generation "Iron Man" of Daqing, realized the long-cherished wish of "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi to dig a well overseas. Today, relying on scientific and technological innovation and technical support, Daqing Oilfield "goes out" to achieve a new leap, overseas business has entered the five major regions of the Middle East, Central Asia, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Americas, and overseas equity production has reached a scale of 10 million tons.

To realize the storage and utilization of carbon dioxide, build more than 2,000 acres of carbon-neutral forests, and treat 600 million tons of oily sewage up to the standard each year... Focus on high-quality development, promote the realization of ecological environmental protection and "carbon neutrality" goals, and continue to deepen reforms. Daqing spirit The connotation of the times is getting richer.

"Daqing is striving to embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a new Daqing socialist modernization, and strive to build a world-renowned resource transformation and innovation city, China's emerging high-end manufacturing city and a leading high-quality development city in Heilongjiang Province." said Li Shifeng, Secretary of the Daqing Municipal Party Committee.

"The Daqing spirit of'patriotism, entrepreneurship, truth-seeking, and dedication' is not only historical but also of the times. Daqing spirit was, is, and will always be the cultural root of our overcoming difficulties, transformation and upgrading, and high-quality development. The soul of the team and the source of strength." said Fang Qing, general manager of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd. (Xinhua News Agency, Harbin, August 23)
