The earth will shake three times.

Oil workers are highly motivated,

I am not afraid of great difficulties.

Would rather live twenty years less,

Desperate to win the big oil field.

-Wang Jinxi regrets.

[Introduction to Wang Jinxi]

Wang Jinxi, 1923, a native of Yijin Village, Yumen, Gansu Province. At the age of 6, because his family was poor, he dragged his blind father with crutches to beg along the street. At the age of eight, he herded sheep for wealthy families. 1938 Joined Yumen Petroleum Company as an apprentice and injured his leg at work. He was kicked out of the gate by the factory owner, and only after being injured did he use someone else's name to work and run errands. At that time, the American technical commander of Yumen Oil Mine monopolized the oil production technology. Wang Jinxi has worked in the mine for more than ten years, and has never been on the drilling floor or touched the brake handle of an oil rig. As a poor handyman, he hasn't even mixed his bedroll for many years, covered with broken sheepskin and straw.

After the founding of New China, Wang Jinxi became an oil worker and assistant driller of the third brigade of the exploration company of Yumen Petroleum Administration Bureau of Gansu Province. 1956 was promoted to captain of 1259 drilling team, and joined the * * * production party in the same year. At that time, China's drilling technology was still very backward. He put forward the slogan of "drilling through Qilian Mountain for thousands of years and setting a benchmark in Yumenguan". 1958, led the drilling team to create a national record with a monthly footage of 500 meters, became the highest benchmark unit of medium-sized drilling rigs in China, won the red flag of "satellite drilling team" and was named "steel drilling team".

At that time, the United States and other western countries had been imposing economic blockade on China by embargo, and our domestic oil production was very small, so the China administration took out extremely limited foreign exchange to import oil from the Soviet Union every year. At the end of 1950s, when the economy entered a difficult period, Sino-Soviet relations became tense. 1959, Wang Jinxi went to Beijing to attend the Heroes' Meeting. As an oil production worker, he was very unhappy when he saw the buses on the streets of Beijing carrying airbags because of lack of oil. At this time, due to the discovery of Daqing Oilfield in Heilongjiang Province, the central government decided to deploy forces and launch an oil conference. Wang Jinxi led Yumen Oilfield 1205 drilling team to Majiayao. On April 1960, after five nights' efforts, the first oil well in Daqing was drilled and crude oil gushed out quickly.

After drilling the first oil well, Wang Jinxi's leg was injured by the falling drill pipe, but he could not be hospitalized. He returned to the drilling team overnight with crutches and bandages. The second oil well had no barite powder at the critical moment of blowout, so he decided to use cement instead. At that time, because there was no mixer, the cement sank to the bottom of the mud pit. Wang Jinxi threw away his crutches, jumped into the mud pit and stirred the mud with his body. Driven by him, the workers also jumped in. After more than three hours, the blowout was subdued and the oil well and rig were saved. However, Gong Jinxi was soaked in alkali residue. Seeing that he had been fighting at the well site for several days and nights, the landlord grandmother said with emotion, "Captain Wang is really an iron man!" " Since then, the name of "Iron Wang Man" has spread throughout the oil field and resounded throughout China through the propaganda of news media.

From 65438 to 0964, Wang Jinxi attended the Third National People's Congress and was received by Chairman Mao. 1965 served as deputy commander-in-chief of oilfield drilling headquarters, 1966 led the drilling team to set a drilling world record with an annual footage of 65,438+10,000 meters. 1969 In April, at the Ninth National Congress of the Party, he was elected as a worker's representative and a member of the Central Committee. On April 1970, Wang Jinxi returned from the oil field conference in Yumen, and was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer by doctors. He died in Beijing on1October 1 15 at the age of 47.
