Hard work inspired generations of pioneers in the Great Northern Wilderness, and encouraged them to be brave and self-reliant. It is mainly manifested as follows: the people from the Great Northern Wilderness who came to this desolate land for the first time insisted on the pioneering spirit of self-sufficiency, the optimistic spirit of not being afraid of hardship and the patriotic spirit of going forward bravely. At the beginning of land reclamation, the environment was very bad, with no shelter, no production tools, no material supply and no government support. It is under such harsh conditions that the pioneers set foot on the ice and snow, struggling to start a business in the heat and cold wind. They take pleasure in suffering and are proud of it. In the years of hard reclamation, the people of the Great Northern Wilderness have realized the five-sided policy of "reclamation, production, construction, accumulation and expansion" and the method of "fixed investment and integrated construction", solving problems for the motherland and the people, not afraid of suffering, and taking pleasure in suffering. People in the Great Northern Wilderness have gone through a difficult and tortuous entrepreneurial process. Especially in the early days of starting a business, many places have gone through the process of relocating and building farms several times. However, the pioneers were not discouraged. They insist on reclamation, abandonment, reclamation, go forward bravely, dare to explore, and constantly move toward the wasteland.

Realize technological innovation, management innovation, cultural innovation and concept innovation, and ensure the unique and sustainable development of the Great Northern Wilderness. At the same time, we must establish a sense of competition, dare to expand production and dare to open up markets.

In the process of exploring innovative ideas, people in the Great Northern Wilderness persist in their pioneering spirit. Being brave in pioneering is an important way for people in the Great Northern Wilderness to innovate and seek change. The spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness guided the pioneers to practice constantly and conducted two large-scale black land explorations. From the initial reclamation of wasteland to the later transformation to modern agriculture, innovative thinking is the soul support point of pioneers. Since the reform and opening up, with the continuous development of modern agriculture, the pioneers of the Great Northern Wilderness have adhered to the spirit of entrepreneurship, dedication and the will of pioneers, emancipated their minds, persisted in reform, diligently explored and respected science, which not only realized the difficult transition to the socialist market economy, but also endowed the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness with new scientific connotations of keeping pace with the times.
