For now, there are very few outsiders in Wuhan Qingshan District to work, because this place is a heavy chemical industry, the representative enterprise is Wuhan Iron and Steel, the staff is relatively fixed, there are "steel generation", "steel generation"... By analogy, the aging of Qingshan District is now the highest in the central urban area of Wuhan, and Optics Valley is the most young people in Wuhan, but this was not the case in the 1950s and 1990s, when there were many young people in Qingshan District and full of hope.

First, let's briefly talk about the history of Wuhan Iron and Steel and Qingshan District. Qingshan District is specially established because of Wuhan Iron and Steel, the district time is second only to the three towns of Wuhan, if there are four towns, Qingshan District is the "fourth town" of Wuhan.

Wisteel began construction in 1955 and was completed and put into operation on September 13, 1958, and it has been 63 years since the time of CONSTRUCTION of WISCO.

From the day of its completion to the 1990s, WISCO was regarded as "fragrant food" in everyone's eyes. From the microscopic perception, the welfare of WUHAN IRON AND STEEL employees is a lot, which is the topic of talking about after the 80s and 90s, and there are endless salt sodas to drink in the summer, red beans and mung bean popsicles, and endless fruits in the winter.

At that time, the daily necessities of Wuhan Iron and Steel workers basically did not need to buy, the state-owned enterprises in the past were different from now, at that time it was a "unit-run society", and Wuhan Iron and Steel had its own hospitals, schools, etc., until the 90s.

From a macro point of view, WISCO has had many highlight moments. Wisteel was once a "dominant" state-owned enterprise unit in Qingshan District, providing 120,000 jobs, once contributing 20% of Wuhan's national tax revenue, it can be said that when Wuhan Steel sneezed, Qingshan District would "catch a cold".

From the end of the 50s to before the 90s, for more than 30 years, WISCO has never lacked young people, and people who want to go in have to queue, so many people envy the children of WISCO to inherit their father's business and do the "second generation of steel", when the bicycle army that built the second road and WISCO's own "blue bar" occupied the entire road, in the era of few cars, such a picture is not to mention how grand.

Aoyama District

It can be said that at that time, Qingshan District in the eyes of Wuhan people is the same as the current Optics Valley, Optics Valley high-paying jobs, are emerging industries, the Internet, optoelectronics, etc., many large enterprises, there are Fiberhome Communications, Huawei Wu research institute, Xiaomi second headquarters and so on.

There is an old saying in China called "spending a thousand days is good, people are no longer young", there is no industry that is always brilliant, there is no enterprise that is always brilliant, the history of WISCO as an independent central enterprise has long ended, and those past events have remained in the memory of generations.

Around 2015, the traditional industry and manufacturing industry of WISCO was increasingly affected by its own overcapacity and emerging industries, and was forced to embark on the road of layoffs, when it was the rise of online ride-hailing, so many laid-off employees drove online car-hailing.

Many of the employees who entered WISCO after the 1990s have their own stories. When the industry is down, they are in the age of prosperity, many people choose to leave early, into the wave of marketization, some people are still sticking, what are your own WISCO stories? Welcome to leave a message to discuss, those who have experienced their own life experiences can be more impressive.
