Before the founding of New China, there were such a group of patriotic young people who did their best to build a society without suffering, and even sacrificed their lives. After the founding of New China, there was also a group of people who resolutely and resolutely threw themselves into the fiery construction work for the development of New China, and even their children eventually became one of them, these two groups of people are actually a kind of person, they are called party members, and the iron man Wang Jinxi and his children are one of the banners.
Where there is flesh, the will is like iron
Wang Jinxi was born in 1923 in Yumen, Gansu, in the era of warlord chaos, at that time this was the territory of the northwest three horses, his father Wang Jintang had such an only son at the age of forty, very valued, so he named Wang Jinxi, according to customs, the family put the newborn Wang Jinxi on the scale, a scale just ten pounds, so it took a nickname, called ten pounds.
But the auspicious name of Wang Jinxi did not bring a miracle to the family in that era, the family still suffered a lot, and when Wang Jinxi was six years old, because of the drought that had not been encountered in a hundred years, the Wang family was finally forced to beg, and Wang Jinxi led his father around with a stick to make a home.
It seemed that these sufferings made heaven feel that it was not enough, when Wang Jinxi was ten years old. Warlords forced to conscript labor, Wang Jinxi's father was forced to serve, in order to avoid labor, Wang Jinxi let his blind father sit on an ox cart, drove the car to Jiuquan a hundred miles away, in order to treat his father, he and a few children went to the mountains to herd cattle for the landlord, the local tigers and wolves were rampant, often people were attacked by wild beasts, Wang Jinxi did not have the slightest fear.
Several acres of land in the Wang family were occupied by the landlords, and in the face of the landlords who ate people and did not spit bones, Wang Jinxi also dared to resist and ask for his own land. Although Wang Jinxi only needed to return some insignificant compensation, this was his first big victory against the landlord class.
In order to avoid military service and take care of his father, Wang Jinxi did everything, did child labor in the Yumen oil mine, did the same work as adults, and was often scolded by the foreman, while Wang Jinxi was not willing to show weakness and dared to resist, which made the foreman angry and more harsh on Wang Jinxi.
Wang Jinxi's master looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, in order to make Wang Jinxi restrain himself, he told Wang Jinxi the story of camels gathering strength, the struggle should pay attention to methods, and people must have endurance. Such a time made Wang Jinxi's childhood full of suffering, and also forged Wang Jinxi's strong and indomitable character.
This kind of indomitable character like a camel eventually allowed Wang Jinxi to survive those difficult years, and in 1950, he passed the exam to become the earliest oil worker in New China, which made him feel very honored, and he was meticulous in his work, rushing to do dirty work, and this outstanding performance finally made him a party member, which was an important moment in his life.
Thousands of hammers and hammers, and finally become an iron man
And Wang Jinxi really realized the importance of oil to new China, in 1959, when he was elected as the representative of China's tenth anniversary, Wang Jinxi, who was located in the northwest for many years, never came to Beijing, saw the gas bag carried by the bus in Beijing, he knew that the country was so short of oil, as an oil worker, he felt a great shame, could not help but cry, since then he vowed to share the worries of the country and fight for the nation.
Such an opportunity soon came, only the second year, Wang Jinxi was ordered to go to Saltus with the 1205 drilling team, as soon as he arrived at the place, he could not help his desire to work, and immediately began to ask whether the drilling rig and well location were complete, what the record here was, and immediately began to dig out the oil well with his hands, and slammed the Chinese oil-poor hat in the face of the Western media.
However, because of the harsh local environment, the work is very difficult, Wang Jinxi said at the meeting: "This is also difficult! That's hard too! The lack of oil in the country is the hardest! This is also contradictory! That's contradictory, too! The lack of oil for national construction is the biggest contradiction! "Under his encouragement, the workers were full of morale, the drill rig was not pulled by the car, and the workers used manpower to carry it. Lack of water, Wang Jinxi led the workers to the nearby ice to break the ice to get water, the large drilling well to use a lot of water, but the workers with buckets, with their own efforts, brought out fifty tons of water, to ensure that the drilling rig started on time, only five days to drill a 1200-meter oil well, shocked the world.
While shifting positions, Wang Jinxi's right leg was accidentally smashed, but he could not hold on to the front line. Due to the excessive pressure on the formation, the second well had a blowout, Wang Jinxi directly jumped into the cement pool, stirred the cement with his body, and finally subdued the blowout safely, the landlord Zhao DaNiang saw the endless strength and steely will of this northwest man, and sighed: "You Captain Wang, really an iron man." ”
Wang Jinxi's iron man nickname has been known since then, and Yu Qiuli loudly applauded after hearing it, publicizing Wang Jinxi's iron man deeds at various meetings, calling on everyone to learn from iron man, be an iron man, persist in struggle, and win the big oil field at a high speed and high level. For a time, Wang Jinxi became a model for all oil workers.
The Iron Man family
Although Wang Jinxi's nickname is Iron Man, and his will is as hard as steel, his flesh eventually collapsed in this kind of day and night work, and in early 1970, Iron Man Wang Jinxi was diagnosed with cancer and died in Beijing in September of the same year, at the age of 47, and his departure made countless people regret.
But an iron man fell, but countless iron men stood up, including his children, two sons and three daughters became young people with lofty aspirations to build the country, they inherited the will of their father Wang Jinxi, and struggled on the various fronts of the motherland.
Wang Jinxi's eldest son stuck to the Daqing oil field for which his father had fought, and was also a member of his father's drilling team. Later, Wang Yueping was injured in the line of duty and became the deputy general manager of Daqing Oilfield, running day and night on the road that his father had run.
The second son, Wang Yuefu, was also an oil worker, but through his own efforts, he eventually became a teacher, teaching the knowledge of petroleum, trying to teach more talents for the motherland and add luster to the petroleum industry.
Among the three daughters, in addition to the younger daughter Wang Yueqin died prematurely a few years ago due to illness, the eldest daughter Wang Ying also became a glorious oil worker, and the second queen Yuezhen was even more glorious, entering the army and becoming a soldier, taking it as her duty to defend the family and defend the country.
Time flies, Wang Jinxi has left this world for more than fifty years, and most of his children have become old people with flower armor, gradually living in seclusion behind the scenes, no longer personally trapped, but in their hearts, perhaps the iron-cast father has never gone away, has always stood in that black oil, with his own iron spirit to inspire countless oil workers, he is not only a banner of the working class, but also a national hero who is willing to share the worries of the country and stand up to the sky, he has dedicated his life unreservedly to the construction of the motherland His dedication will always be remembered.
