A 40-year historical review of the foundation stone of the new Chinese chemical fiber industry

In October 1969, the superior decided to transfer the Beijing Synthetic Fiber Research Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry to the "2348 Project" headquarters. At that time, the director Zhang Xilei was the daughter of the revolutionary martyr Zhang Tailei, and she led more than 400 scientific researchers to leave Beijing for the construction site of the Hunan-Hubei border project that month.

In the construction of the Jinshan project, there are many ultra-long, ultra-wide and overweight equipment in the imported device, the heaviest is more than 200 tons, the longest is more than 60 meters, and the largest diameter is more than 7 meters, transporting these behemoths from the Huangpu River pier, and installing them accurately on the already built foundation, relying not on large-scale transportation and lifting equipment, but on the wooden row and the rod built by Shanghai old workers.

The "Yizheng model" of "relying on borrowing to build factories and paying back capital and interest with the benefits after production" has brought huge psychological pressure to the builders: Yizheng phase I investment of 1 billion yuan, the state appropriation of 300 million yuan, borrowing 768 million yuan, and the factory has to pay 320,000 yuan of interest every day. But they know that as long as the factory produces, it can create 1.2 million yuan a day in profits and taxes. Therefore, they converted the goal of "competing for time, rushing for speed, early completion, early production, early benefit, early debt repayment" into action, so that Yizheng Chemical fiber Factory "fast, good, provincial" was built and produced benefits.

The former vice minister of the Ministry of Textiles, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Ji Guobiao, who has just passed away, is a college student trained in New China. After graduating from East China Textile Institute in 1952, he participated in the establishment of chemical fiber factories in Baoding, Nanjing, Lanzhou and Yizheng. During his outstanding performance in Baoding chemical fiber Factory, he was commended as "Advanced worker of industrial transportation and infrastructure system in Hebei Province" in 1959. He spent his whole life contributing to the construction of the chemical fiber industry. In his later years, he also worked hard on the construction of the high-performance fiber industry.

The dedication and sacrifice made by millions of ordinary builders for the 40 years of forming the cornerstone of New China's chemical fiber industry is worth remembering forever.

Iii. Conclusion

"Whoever forgets history will be sick in the soul." The 40-year history that has formed the cornerstone of the new Chinese chemical fiber industry is a history of arduous struggle, a history of hard work and sacrifice, and a history of self-strengthening dedication to faith.

"How far you can see the past, you can see how far the future", looking back on these 40 years, is a washing of the soul, but also a determination to build a more brilliant Chinese chemical fiber industry.
