In 1970, Premier Zhou received a special report, and when he saw the contents of the report, he fell into a long silence.
It turned out that what was written in this report was the condition of Wang Jinxi, an oil worker in the Daqing oil field. The report shows that the oil hero, known as the "Iron Man", has become irreparably ill. Even the best doctor in Beijing said helplessly, "He came too late..."
Wang Jinxi
In November, Wang Jinxi died of ineffective treatment for stomach cancer at the age of 47.
"I'd rather live twenty years less and desperately want to win the big oil field", why is Wang Jinxi called "Iron Man"? What kind of contribution did he make to the oil industry in his motherland?
Wang Jinxi, who died young, had 5 children with his wife, and when he died, the children were still very young. Many years later, how are these children now?
In 1959, Wang Jinxi, the captain of the 5 team of the Yumen Oil Mine Beiwu Drilling Team, was called to the office by the leaders of the oil mine.
The leader excitedly said to Wang Jinxi: "Wang Jinxi, there is a big task in the organization to hand over to you!" A large oil field has been discovered in the northeast, and the central government is ready to send you over, what do you think? ”
Upon hearing that a large oil field had been discovered, Wang Jinxi was very excited. As oil miners, no one understands better than them how precious oil resources are and how important they are to the construction and development of the motherland. When the leader finished briefing the situation, Wang Jinxi said without the slightest hesitation: "I listen to the organization!" I'm packing my things now and ready to go! ”
A few days later, Wang Jinxi and the workers passionately came to Daqing, Northeast China, where the new oil field is located. However, when they saw the scene here, they were disappointed.
Vast and barren plains, with a biting cold wind every day, a basin of hot water can immediately freeze. Wang Jinxi and the workers lived in a newly vacated horse barn and ate rough cornmeal. The enthusiasm for work was quickly consumed by the harsh reality, and many workers could not help but complain and began to regret coming to the Daqing oil field.
Seeing this situation, Wang Jinxi encouraged everyone and said: "Originally, those who did our oil workers' business had nothing to do with enjoying happiness. Now it is good to have a place to live and something to eat, and there are no more complaints in the future! ”
The workers watched Wang Jinxi running and working in the oil field every day and never cried out a bitter word, and were infected by his spirit and quickly restored their passion for construction.
However, the emotional problems of the workers have been solved, and more difficult practical problems have been put in front of them.
Daqing oilfield has just begun construction, many engineering equipment are seriously insufficient, because there are not enough cranes and tractors, heavy drilling equipment has not been able to be transported to the underground operation site, the construction process can only be repeatedly delayed.
Obstruction of oil field exploitation will delay the country's construction and development, and Wang Jinxi is so anxious that he has several large blisters on his mouth. Seeing that mining may also be delayed, Wang Jinxi gritted his teeth and said a sentence: "There are conditions to go up, and there are no conditions to create conditions to go up!" ”
Subsequently, Wang Jinxi and the workers used primitive tools such as crowbars, rollers, ropes, etc., to transport the drilling rig weighing more than 60 tons to the Sa 55 well site little by little by manpower. After the drilling equipment was in place, Wang Jinxi led the workers to work day and night for a full 4 days to build a derrick of more than 40 meters.
This group of oil workers in New China, under the most difficult conditions, used their own strength to create one miracle after another for the motherland, so that the construction of daqing oilfield has come to a rapid and good development track.
On April 19, 1960, with Wang Jinxi's shout of "start drilling", the drilling rig ran at high speed, and the Daqing oilfield on the northeast plain of New China spewed out the first black crude oil!
After the official exploitation and construction of Daqing Oilfield, Wang Jinxi and the workers worked hard here every day, continuously delivering precious crude oil resources for the construction and development of New China, and this oilfield has also become an important cornerstone to support China's development.
However, when everything was going well, Wang Jinxi was suddenly seriously injured. While working with the workers, Wang Jinxi was suddenly hit by a drill pipe that fell from a high altitude and fainted on the spot. The workers were frightened, and they quickly stopped their work and ran to save Wang Jinxi.
Just as the workers were preparing to take Wang Jinxi to the hospital, Wang Jinxi woke up from his coma. Seeing that the workers were no longer doing their work and surrounding him, Wang Jinxi hurriedly stood up with severe pain and said to the workers: "I'm all right, I can't die, let's hurry up and go to work." ”
The workers saw that Wang Jinxi was acting like he was not a big deal and was still directing the work normally, and after bandaging him, they relaxed their minds and continued to work. However, in fact, wang Jinxi's leg injury was very serious, and a simple bag was useless. Not long after, Wang Jinxi, who was still working with his co-workers, suddenly fell into a coma again.
At this time, the workers found that Wang Jinxi's pants and shoes were soaked with blood. He had always been afraid of delaying the work on the oil field, and he stood up hard, if it were not for the excessive blood loss and fainting, everyone would not know that his injuries were so serious.
Wang Jinxi was admitted to the hospital, and doctors asked him to rest for at least three months after treatment. Wang Jinxi was anxious as soon as he heard it, how many things would be delayed in three months, three months! Therefore, in less than a week, Wang Jinxi resolutely went through the discharge procedures himself despite the doctor's persuasion and returned to the construction site on crutches.
The workers all advised him to go back to the hospital for recuperation, after all, everyone had seen with their own eyes how heavy his injuries were that day, and he had shed so much blood. However, Wang Jin smiled and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, I can't rest here." ”
The workers persuaded again, Wang Jinxi did not listen, with a straight face to urge everyone to go to work, and kept saying that he would be fine soon. However, this injury is not to be said to be good, but also because one thing is serious again.
A few days later, on a drilling platform under construction, a tile suddenly fell. When Wang Jinxi heard about this situation, he immediately became nervous. As a veteran worker who has been drilling for more than ten years, Wang Jinxi knows what it means for Fangwa to fall – a blowout! Drilling is about to blow out!
Once a blowout occurs, the drilling equipment will be seriously damaged, and the safety of workers' lives will also be seriously threatened. Wang Jinxi did not dare to delay at all, he held up his crutches and organized all the workers at the scene to immediately start repairing!
In order to suppress the blowout, heavy powder lime must be used, and Wang Jinxi and the workers mobilized all the heavy powder lime but found that it was far from enough. Wang Jinxi immediately decided to ask the workers to bring cement to replace the heavy powder lime.
The heavy powder lime and cement were ready, but the most important equipment, the mixer, was delayed. Time passes minute by minute, blowouts can happen at any time, and danger is getting closer and closer. Wang Jinxi clapped his palms and decided that he could not wait any longer! He threw away the crutches in his hand and jumped into the mud pit first, using his body as a blender to stir in it. The workers couldn't help but shout at him to come up, he still had injuries on his body!
However, Wang Jinxi did not stop, and the workers could not help but blush their eyes and jump in one by one. This group of oil workers desperately stirred in the mud pit for more than 3 hours and successfully suppressed the blowout! When they came out of the mud pit, they were all so tired that they collapsed to the ground and gasped heavily, and Wang Jinxi was directly sent to the hospital again.
The doctor was stunned when he saw Wang Jinxi, and he did not dare to imagine how Wang Jinxi, who still had a serious injury in his leg, had been working in the mud for more than three hours without stopping.
The landlord Wang Da Niang saw that he had always been rooted in the well field for a few days and nights of fighting, and now he was injured and still desperately fighting for things in the oil field, and he was full of emotion: "Captain Wang is really an iron man!" ”
Yu Qiuli, minister of petroleum, also felt very imaged after hearing others' evaluation of Wang Jinxi's "iron man", and he called on everyone to learn from Wang Jinxi's iron man spirit and win the big oil field! Later, under the call of the organization and the word of mouth of the people, Wang Jinxi's title of Iron Man became a household name, and his spirit was also admired by all Chinese.
However, few people know that Wang Jinxi, who has the spirit of an iron man, has been suffering from illness.
The construction of new China is inseparable from the support of energy, and how important crude oil is for construction and development Wang Jinxi could not be clearer. In order to provide the most adequate and timely support for the country's construction and development, Wang Jinxi has rooted himself in the Daqing oilfield. He said: "I'd rather live twenty years less and desperately try to win the big oil fields." ”
When he was in the Yumen Oilfield, Wang Jinxi could still take time to go home every Sunday. But when he took his family to root in the Daqing oil field, even if he was only a hundred meters away from home, his family could not see him for a long time.
Due to the long-term work of sleeping and forgetting to eat, Wang Jinxi's body had problems, and he suffered from severe stomach disease and arthritis very early.
In 1960, Minister Yu Qiuli couldn't see that he was so desperate that he forced him to go to Beijing for a comprehensive medical examination. After the results of the physical examination came out, the doctor said that his illness was already very serious and he had to be treated quickly. When Wang Jinxi left the hospital, the doctor prescribed him a three-month sick leave certificate, but Wang Jinxi tore up this certificate as soon as he walked out of the hospital.
This scene was reported to Vice Minister Kang Shien by Li Guangming, who choked up after hearing it: "We don't care enough about him." Not long after, the drilling union arranged for Wang Jinxi to go to Beidaihe to recuperate. But once again, Wang Jinxi gave up the quota to his co-workers, and he worked tirelessly in the oil field.
In 1970, Wang Jinxi's body completely collapsed, and under the double torture of illness and pressure, Wang Jinxi could not eat for a long time.
After Wang Jinxi fell ill, the organization immediately sent him to Beijing for treatment. A few days later, Wang Jinxi arrived in Beijing, where doctors at 301 Hospital performed a comprehensive examination of him, and Premier Zhou and Vice Premier Li Xiannian were also nervously waiting for his results. However, it was too late, and the best doctors in Beijing could only helplessly say: "He came too late." ”
Wang Jinxi and Premier Zhou
On November 15, 1970, Wang Jinxi died at the age of 47 due to ineffective treatment for stomach cancer. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the country, Wang Jinxi was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery after his death.
"I'd rather live twenty years less, and desperately want to win the big oil field", time, energy, youth, life, Wang Jinxi gave everything to the motherland, and he used his life to practice his commitment to the motherland.
After Wang Jinxi's death, he left behind 5 young children. Under the influence of their fathers, these 5 children also have the spirit of "Iron Man".
Wang Jinxi's eldest daughter, Wang Ying, was deeply influenced by her father and later became an honorable oil worker, working in the Daqing drilling.
Wang Ying suffered from a serious heart condition and was in a very bad physical condition. But the heroic daughter who inherited the spirit of "Iron Man" never felt bitter, she thought that her life was very good now, she was proud to be an oil worker like her father, and she wanted to contribute to the oil industry in the motherland.
She has never been special during her work, not afraid of suffering or tiredness, and the daughter of "Iron Man" has not disgraced her father, and is also an "Iron Man". Now, Wang Ying, who has dedicated her life to the oil industry, has retired honorably and is recuperating at home.
Wang Jinxi's eldest son was named Wang Yueping. Wang Yueping is a soldier, after he contributed to the cause of national defense of the motherland, when he was demobilized, he chose to inherit his father's will to fight in the front line of the oil field cause. Now, Wang Yueping is the party secretary and deputy general manager of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd. Underground Resources Company, and like his father, he has always been fighting for the oil industry of the motherland.
Wang Jinxi's second son, Wang Yuepu, like his elder sister, is also an oil worker in the Daqing oil field. The smart and hard-working Wang Yuepu has a very good performance in his work, not only inheriting the spirit of his father's hard-working and hard-working, but also having the innovative spirit of loving learning and studying. The Daqing Drilling Company Ii, where he worked, attached great importance to him and specially sent him to the junior college class of Changchun University of Posts and Telecommunications for further study.
After graduating with honors, Wang Yuepu worked in the 1205 drilling team where his father worked for five years, and was later transferred to the drill platform to support the brakes. Now, this glorious member of the Communist Party of China, after paying his youth and painstaking efforts for the motherland's petroleum cause, has been transferred to the Propaganda Department to continue to dedicate himself to the country.
Wang Jinxi's second daughter, Wang Yuezhen, did not become an oil worker like her father and sister, but she also possessed the patriotic spirit taught to her by her father. After graduation, Wang Yuezhen resolutely chose to join the army, and later worked as a pharmacist in the military academy, contributing her strength in the medical and health cause.
Wang Jinxi and his wife, the eldest son Wang Yueping, and the younger daughter Wang Yueqin
Wang Jinxi's youngest child is his daughter Wang Yueqin, who is also the most unfortunate child who resembles him. Wang Yueqin was born in a difficult period of three years, when due to the influence of the natural environment, there was a famine in China and food shortage, Wang Yueqin was born malnourished and suffered from polio. Illness and malnutrition caused Wang Yueqin's lower limbs to develop deformities, and it was very difficult to move.
However, this unfortunate child never gave up on himself, nor did he resent and be negative because of the injustice of Heaven. She worked hard to live independently and supported herself by working at a liquefied gas station near her home when she grew up. When encountering injustice and hardship, she always remembers her father's "iron man" spirit, does not resent, does not give up, dares to fight, and is self-reliant!
Unfortunately, due to illness, Wang Yueqin eventually died at the age of 38.
"I'd rather live twenty years less, and desperately want to win the big oil field!"
"If there are conditions to go up, there are no conditions to create conditions to go up!"
Not afraid of hardships, not afraid of difficulties, brave to go to the top! Wang Jinxi dedicated his life to the motherland, and his "iron man" spirit not only affected the lives of his 5 children, but also affected thousands of Chinese sons and daughters!
