"Sincere Fuxin" is the spiritual characteristic of Mining Culture -- A view of Fuxin's "Sincere Culture" from the perspective of century-old Mining History and Mining Culture

Hundred miles of mines, is the existence of the sea in general. Although the coal resources have been exhausted, all the relics it left behind always tell everyone that this place was once brilliant.

The mining community, which accounts for half the city's population, sustains Fuxin's past. The construction of the motherland, dedication to self has become a clarion call of The Times, and continues to flow in the blood of the city with an unchanged character.

When it comes to the concept of "sincere Fuxin", we seem to have a miner image in front of us. Because of the nourishment of the mining culture, the formation of the brand and culture of "Houdao Fuxin" has a stronger meaning.

Recently, the reporter interviewed Wang Zichen, a famous regional culture research expert and excellent social science expert in Fuxin City. He believes that "sincere Fuxin" is the spiritual characteristics of mining culture, dedication is the core point of this cultural brand, especially the Haizhou mining spirit of "overcoming difficulties, selfless dedication" is the best interpretation of the "sincere Fuxin" cultural brand. From the perspective of a hundred years of mining history and mining culture, through the characteristics of Haizhou mining spirit, he introduced the connotation of Fuxin "benevolent culture" to reporters.

One hundred years of mine shape miners honest character

More than 120 years ago, on an autumn rainy day, the ravine near the Laojun Temple in Xinqiu Village was washed by the rain, revealing the "stone" that shone black and could burn, and someone founded the Dongsheng Kiln, and the Fuxin coal field began. After that, the first government-run coal mine, Jingfeng Coal Mine, was built in 1905. By 1913, 16 coal kilns had been built here with an annual output of more than 150,000 tons of coal.

After twists and turns, Fuxin coalfield entered a new era of development after the founding of New China. During the First Five-Year Plan period, the production capacity was increased by 8.41 million tons. From 1958 to 1985, the Fuxin mining area produced a total of 320.19 million tons of coal, with an average annual output of more than 10 million tons. From 1985 to 2000, the mining resources in Fuxin were gradually exhausted. At the end of 2001, Fuxin was identified as the first pilot city of economic transformation of resource-exhausted cities in the country. From 2001 to 2010, Xinqiu open-pit Coal mine, Dongliang Coal mine, Ping An Coal mine, Wangying Coal mine, Haizhou open-pit coal mine, Gade Coal Mine has gone bankrupt.

The hundred-year history of mining is not only the history written by generations of miners with their lives, but also the history that nourishes and shapes the character of the city. Thousands of miners come and go, and let the mining culture accumulate excellent spiritual characteristics.

Wang Zichen told reporters that after the founding of New China, Fuxin miners have such universal characteristics: blunt and simple, tolerance, the ability to eat great suffering and endure great labor is beyond ordinary people. Coal miners work 1,000 feet underground all year long, with special production environment, hard working conditions and frequent natural disasters. They consciously developed the excellent quality of hard work, and created a decisive and vigorous character.

More of a group. This is because the work comes to the palm, whether it is a class or a team, the production forms a fighting team. In order to complete the production task, we riveted full strength, you can even add a shift not to lift the well. In order to deal with dangerous situations and rush to repair equipment, you can not go home for several days and nights. No matter what gap we have on the ground, we will coordinate in the underground, take the initiative to create conditions for each other, be generous and tolerant, and fully reflect the strength of the team and collective warmth.

Heavy friendship, heavy feelings. The miners regard the feelings between the "black brothers" very seriously, just like a harmonious family. Not only do workers contribute to each other, but cadres at all levels also keep workers' parents and personal problems in mind and find ways to solve problems.

It's real. They don't hold back. They just say what they think. In particular, I can not see hypocrisy and deception, and I am not happy in my heart, roaring twice, Shouting two voices, and shaking off my arms, like nothing.

Love the motherland, love the mine, love the post. In the face of natural disasters do not complain, do not cry tired, more coal is their duty. Reflected in the production cycle, is the strict organization, the concept of discipline, the implementation of procedures, the implementation of operational orders are not vague, not out of shape, dare to be serious, dare to take on.

The miners left a distinct cultural imprint

Fuxin was once a nomadic minority in history, and in the late Qing Dynasty, there were a large number of victims to enter the Guandong, "First Five" period of industrial construction on a large number of projects, an influx of labor. These reasons make the fusion of multi-ethnic cultures form the cultural characteristics of Fuxin people, and make the miners' regional culture brand obvious, which is reflected in the miners' body is brave, blunt and simple, bold and heroic.

Coal mine production is labor-intensive and high-risk underground operation industry. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as water, fire and gas has created the excellent quality of coal miners who are "particularly able to bear hardships, be patient, be able to fight and be dedicated". This is caused by the impact of the mine labor environment.

The characteristic of devotees is that they do not want to ask for anything in return, but once they get care, they will be doubly grateful to give back. Fuxin miners are one such group. Since the "First Five-Year Plan", the breeding and development of Fuxin mining culture is also the result of the Party and the state's concern and encouragement. Since the 1950s, Fuxin mining area has selected a large number of municipal, provincial, national coal system and national labor heroes and models from the workers, and advanced collectives have emerged in endless, which greatly encouraged the mining area people to form a glorious and sacred pride and a sense of ownership and dedication.

With the progress of The Times and the introduction of modern enterprise management, the miners' ideas and management consciousness have been greatly changed and improved.

The production of coal mines adopts standardized management, which strengthens the quality consciousness of cadres at all levels and every miner; From taking the commuter bus to the canteen, the bath, the well, insist on holding the flag, walking according to the route, from the work face to travel should be unified dress, with environmental bags, enhance the sense of order, establish a new image of miners; The implementation of quasi-military management in each coal mine extends the military cultural effect, executes the order without any excuse, responds quickly, and enhances the execution consciousness; Coal mine safety is always the first, and the strengthening of safety awareness in every link and post has achieved safety indicators, and has always achieved alarm bells and perseverance.

These unique cultural imprints are gradually embedded in the blood of miners and become genes in their lives, passed down from generation to generation.

The spirit of Haizhou mine is the best interpretation of "benevolent culture"

"Mining people's humanistic character, humanistic feelings, humanistic spirit is the basic elements of Fuxin mining culture, after a long accumulation of mining culture, focused on shaping Fuxin mining people's broad-minded and selfless dedication." After refining and sublimating the spirit connotation of 'overcoming difficulties, selfless dedication' Haizhou mine is the most representative support of the 'sincere Fuxin' cultural brand." Wang Zichen said.

In 1949, by the Sunjiawan Coal mine, Taiping Coal mine merger, and in 1953 officially named Haizhou open pit coal mine is one of the 156 key projects in China's large-scale economic construction plan, the scale ranked first in Asia, the world's second.

At the beginning of the construction of the mine, there was no other mechanical equipment, and the installation of dozens of tons of large electric shovels had no cranes, and thousands of accessories were manually lifted for assembly. Dozens of people hugged a rail, laying the railway line one by one. In the case of quicksand layer, he laid wood under the shovel, walked a place, padded a place, and got up a place. In winter, he was often cut by ice, but no one cried tired. All mine cadres and workers fight together on the front line, overcome numerous difficulties, and work selflessly for the construction of Haizhou open-pit coal mine. Until the closure of the pit in 2005, over the years, the mine produced 240 million tons of coal for the country, completed the total industrial output value of nearly 10 billion yuan, and trained more than 3,800 professional and technical personnel to the country, making outstanding contributions to economic construction.

Under the encouragement of the dedication character of Haizhou Mine, which is hard-working and brave enough to bear the burden, countless national and provincial honors have fallen on the mine, advanced collectives and advanced individuals have emerged in endless stream, and a large number of model workers such as Wang Lu, Fu Xiangxian, Deng Jinrong, Duan Shiru, and Zhang Lin have emerged. Wang Zichen introduced to reporters: "The deeds of people like Zhang Lin are particularly touching, reflecting the kindness of miners." In the most difficult period, Zhang Lin donated a fat pig he raised to the canteen, which was a difficult period, and not an ordinary person could do it. He also built the Zhanglin Road under the Haizhou mine slope. Such dedication is valuable."

Wang Zichen believes that "love the open air, do the master" is the lofty realm of Haizhou miners love their jobs and dedication, and do not forget the firm belief of the original heart; "Striving for the top and creating the level" is the heroic spirit of Haizhou miners to forge ahead and the persistent force to climb the peak; "Bear the burden, make a contribution" is the good quality of Haizhou miners selfless dedication, reflecting the loyalty of the overall situation. It should be said that the spirit of Haizhou mining is the red gene reflected by the heroic Haizhou mining people in the great practice of socialist construction and reform and opening up, the concrete embodiment of the advanced nature of the working class, the spiritual home of Haizhou mining people, and the powerful spiritual motivation to stimulate the transformation and revitalization of the people of Fuxin.

He said that "sincere Fuxin" is the spiritual characteristics of mining culture, and the Haizhou mining spirit is the best interpretation. He hopes that the "Sincere Fuxin" cultural brand can better inspire the people of Fuxin to create a better Fuxin future.
