Daqing Spirit Iron Man Spirit

1、Daqing spirit is an important part of the Chinese nation’s spirit
  Daqing Oilfield is a worldwide famous oilfield and it is also the biggest domestic oilfield which is considered to be a remarkable symbol of Chinese industry. In September 1959, the oil spray of Songji-3 well indicated the naissance of Daqing Oilfield. In the early stage of the 1960’s, with complicated international affairs, tough natural environment and tight material conditions, following the strategic decision of Central Committee and the State Council and the leadership of petroleum ministry, depending on the support of people throughout the country and The People's Liberation Army, Daqing Oilfield carried out a great oil encounter. A great number of petroleum workers such as iron-man Wang Jinxi devoted themselves to the Oilfield with patriotism and heroic spirit, to take the dedication spirit of "would rather live 20 years less to win the largest oilfield", to take the heroism of “must be done with conditions, must be done too by creation of conditions”, they worked energetically and productively to a high standard, in tough conditions, and developed a large oilfield in only 3 years. The oil deficiency history was successful terminated then.
  Since a half century ago, Daqing Oilfield has created 3 “first place”: took the first place on the production of crude oil, with an accumulative total of 2 thousand million tons, which accounts for 40% of domestic overland crude oil. Since 1976, Daqing Oilfield has produced 50 million tons of crude oil per year for the past 27 years, which became a miracle in the world;took first place on the recovery ratio of crude oil, by using world’s leading development technologies,the recovery ratio has broken through 50% which is nearly 10-15% higher than the other oilfields;took the first place on paying taxes and fees, accumulated up to 1.6 trillion yuan. And is placed first for China’s one hundred enterprises for paying taxes over years.
  During the oil encounter and a long-term development practice, Daqing not only achieved enormous material wealth for the country, but also cultivated the Daqing Spirit and Iron-man Spirit as a traditional work-style. Daqing Spirit is the product of the learning’s of Mao Zedong Thought and inheriting the excellent tradition of the Chinese Working Class and PLA in tough development conditions, it’s an important part of the Chinese nation’s spirit. It is essential to win honor for the motherland and the nation, paddle our own canoe and struggle with difficulties with a scientific attitude, keep an overall judgment and dedicate to the country.
  In the new epoch, "dynamic, loyal, honest, committed" are the main spirit of CNPC. Today, we endue the spirit with new meaning: Dynamic means dedicating to work, serving our country by industrial production and maintaining the sustainable development so as to make contributions for reinforcing national comprehensive strength; Loyal means working hard, facing challenges with aggressive attitude, taking curve-out as an eternal career and working unremittingly in pursuit of first-class; Honest means to be realistic, practical, honest and strict, improve the management level and science and technology level; Committed means that employees devote themselves to the enterprise, and the enterprise reinvests in society, the clients, the employees and the investors.


2、Iron-man Spirit is the reification and personification of Daqing Spirit
  Iron-man Spirit is the essence of Wang Jinxi’s magnificent ideas and virtue as well as the embodiment of Chinese petroleum workers’ mental outlook and personification of the Daqing Spirit. Its meaning is plentiful, including patriotism, spirit of fighting and working hard, realistic and practical attitude, let slide of fame and wealth, and whole-hearted devotion. The Iron-man Spirit is not only the sublimation of long-term the struggle period in new China but also the soul of Chinese national traditional virtues in the socialist period. The spirit is an integral part of a lot of advanced petroleum workers’ ideas and genius and push ahead with our work forever.

3、Daqing Spirit and Iron-man Spirit is sublimation under the solicitude of the Party and State leaders
  Daqing Oilfield and its spirit were highly praised by the Party and State leader because of the it’s great achievement and contribution. In 1964, Mao Zedong called upon that “industry to learn from Daqing”, and he granted an audience to Wang Jinxi several times. In 1978, Deng Xiaoping instructed that “construct a beautiful Daqing” in his third inspection of Daqing. In 1990, Jiang Zemin generalized Daqing Spirit as “dynamic, loyal, honest and committed” in his inspection tour. In 1996, Hu Jintao declared that “the historical contribution of Daqing not only consists in producing a mass of crude oil but also in bringing up a heroic working-class troop. Daqing cultivated many backbones of management, science and technique. Daqing created great wealth for our country and acted a strong pillar for the State’s economy in a difficult period, and, most important, cultivated the precious Daqing Spirit and Iron-man Spirit during its development.” He sincerely expected that Daqing could “cherish the glorious history and create a new resplendence”. In 2003, Wen Jiabao indicated that “we should hand on Iron-man Spirit from generation to generation, carry forward Daqing Spirit and keep the fine tradition of hard struggle forever.” The unreserved support and great care from leader of Party and State encouraged all petroleum workers and pointed out the direction as well as strengthened confidence for future development.
