The spirit of the "Iron Man"

Wang Jinxi (1927-1970) was a model worker in China's Daqing Oilfield. He was known as an "Iron Man" for his patriotic determination to share the nation's burdens and win honor for the people. He said, "I would rather give up 20 years of life to win China the production of oil on its land." To this end, Wang honed his skills in pursuit of excellence and did everything possible to achieve the impossible, believing that such achievements would stand the test of future generations. With the strength of an ox, he served the Party and the people wholeheartedly all his life.

The spirit of the "Iron Man" epitomizes the spirit of the Daqing Oilfield, the mindset of China's working class, and the virtues of the Chinese people.

鐵人精神

“鐵人”是上世紀(jì)五六十年代社會(huì)送給石油工人王進(jìn)喜的雅號(hào),而鐵人精神是王進(jìn)喜崇高思想、優(yōu)秀品德的高度概括,也集中體現(xiàn)出中國(guó)石油工人的精神風(fēng)貌。這一精神的主要內(nèi)涵包括:“為國(guó)分憂(yōu)、為民族爭(zhēng)氣”的愛(ài)國(guó)主義精神,“寧可少活20年,拼命也要拿下大油田”的忘我拼搏精神,“有條件要上,沒(méi)有條件創(chuàng)造條件也要上”的艱苦奮斗精神,“干工作要經(jīng)得起子孫萬(wàn)代檢查”“為革命練一身硬功夫、真本事”的科學(xué)求實(shí)精神,“甘愿為黨和人民當(dāng)一輩子老黃牛”、埋頭苦干的奉獻(xiàn)精神等。鐵人精神是大慶精神的典型化、人格化,體現(xiàn)了中國(guó)工人階級(jí)精神風(fēng)貌和中華民族傳統(tǒng)美德的完美結(jié)合。
