In addition:
The spirit of "Iron Man" shines forever.

Speaking of "Iron Man", middle-aged and elderly people over 40 and 50 are very familiar with it. Isn't that Wang Jinxi, the Iron Man of Anniversary Oilfield? Not long ago, when the author asked several young people, "Do you know Wang Jinxi?" Unexpectedly, several young people answered "I don't know." The young man's answer is like a pot of cold water poured on my heart, which reminds me of a long time ago when an old man asked the young man, "Who is Lei Feng?" The young man replied, "which company manager should it be!" " . Only a few years ago, the inscription "Remember the glorious tradition of the revolution" disappeared without a trace, leaving an "Chen" spotless.
The hard work of the older generation has left many precious historical heritages, which should be said to be the treasures of the nation and the wealth of the party and the country. Historical heritage, especially the priceless spiritual wealth such as "Iron Man Spirit" and "Lei Feng Spirit", is our eternal historical responsibility to future generations, because they are the "foundation" for the leaping development of the Chinese nation and the "soul" for socialist China to stand on its own feet among the nations of the world. In this sense, the spirit of "Iron Man" and "Lei Feng Spirit" are not outdated, but should be vigorously promoted and passed down from generation to generation. Respecting history means that we can't forget the past of our predecessors' martyrs and the brilliant achievements they left for future generations. Associating reality is to look at heroes from a developmental perspective and inspire future generations with their spirit. This is the guiding ideology of my book Petroleum Life.
So, what is the spirit of "Iron Man"? In the past, we talked about it every day and every month. The name of "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi is a household name, and everyone knows it. Publicity and education work is very in-depth. Today, with the reform and opening up to invigorate the economy, I think it is more important for everyone, especially young people, to know the story and spirit of the "Iron Man", because the current socialist modernization needs such noble spirit too much. As a person who once got along with "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi, I can explain to later generations that the spirit of "Iron Man" is highly responsible for the country, the nation and the people; It is the patriotic spirit of sharing worries for the country and striving for benefits for the people; Is for the oil industry of the motherland, tenacious struggle, hard struggle; It is for the country to abandon its small family, preferring to live 20 years less and desperately win the ambition of big oil fields; Is public and forget private, willing to be a lifetime workhorse for the party and the people; It is a noble sentiment that ignores fame and fortune, rewards, hard work and hard work; It is responsible for the oilfield for a lifetime, can stand the test of future generations, strives for perfection in technology, and "cultivates a scientific and realistic hard work style and true skills" for the revolution; Never be special, never be superior, always be strict with yourself, be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and always be a valuable character of ordinary workers; It is a deep proletarian feeling of loving comrades, caring for the collective and doing everything possible to solve the sufferings of the masses; Learning cultural knowledge and studying Marxism-Leninism and Chairman Mao's works is a high degree of consciousness. It is the crystallization of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation under the light of ideology; It is the fusion of Comrade Wang Jinxi's own personality and the ideological realm of many heroes.
Although the spirits of "Iron Man" and "Lei Feng" do not come from the same front and post, they represent the same spirit and ideal. In other words, they share the same outlook on life and world, and are a kind of "soul" that condenses the virtues of the Chinese nation, which is priceless. This "priceless treasure" is as vital as countless historical treasures of the Chinese nation. No matter how long it takes, it will not decline, but will only multiply in value. The longer it takes, the more it will show its unparalleled value.
The idea of "Iron Man" is not out of date. In the tide of reform, opening up and market economy, it is still a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the people of the whole country to work hard and build the motherland, and it is still a noble national integrity advocated by the party and needed by the people.
Therefore, when we actively advocate "two civilizations" with our hands, we should think of inheriting and carrying forward the ideological and moral character of the national "soul" of "Iron Man". We must never make the mistake of learning to walk in Handan and counting our ancestors, and we must not forget the precious "soul" of the Chinese nation because we are overjoyed and carried away.
In order to promote Iron Man, I have been eulogizing Iron Man with music, praising Iron Man with words and promoting Iron Man with reports since 1966. He published a collection of works praising oil workers at his own expense of nearly 40 thousand yuan, and personally delivered books to drilling workers in Daqing Oilfield, which greatly encouraged and touched many oil people. From 1998, after many interviews, memories and access to a large number of materials, the documentary literature "Petroleum Life" was written.
When I was nearly seventy years old, I wrote a novel for six years. After the work was completed, I spent more than half a year trying to get the sponsorship of good people. However, because people are not interested in books such as "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi and "Oil Man", the result is that the "broken head" I met didn't raise a penny for sponsorship, which is worse than beggars begging in the street ... The reason is that I promoted Comrade Wang Jinxi, an "iron man" that people are not interested in.
However, the economic difficulties encountered in the publication of Oil Life can't stop me from promoting "Iron Man", because I always have an "Iron Man Complex" in my heart, hoping that the "Iron Man Spirit" will shine forever.
