On September 25, 1949, Yumen was liberated. In the spring of 1950, Wang Jinxi passed the examination and became the first generation of drilling workers in New China.From the spring recruitment of 1950 to the autumn of 1953, Wang Jinxi has been working as a driller in the Laojunmiao Drilling Brigade. He is diligent and hardworking, rushing to do various chores.He said that the party regards us as masters, and masters cannot work passively and dawdly like long-term workers.The arduous drilling and production practice has tempered his indomitable character and selfless advanced thinking. On April 29, 1956, Wang Jinxi joined the Communist Party of China gloriously, which was a milestone in his life journey.Not long after joining the party, Wang Jinxi served as the captain of Beiwu Team 5, and led Beiwu Team 5 in the labor competition organized by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry centered on "high-quality and fast drilling". With the slogan of "benchmarking", the highest monthly drilling footage of 5009.3 meters was set in the country. In October, Wang Jinxi went to Karamay, Xinjiang to participate in the on-site meeting held by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.Minister Yu Qiuli and Vice Minister Kang Shien presented him with a red flag of "Drilling Satellite".Beu 5 team was named "Steel Drilling Team", and Wang Jinxi was known as "Drilling Breakthrough".

In the spring of 1960, good news came from my country's oil front—the discovery of Daqing Oilfield, and an unprecedented oil battle began in Daqing.Wang Jinxi led the 1205 drilling team from the Yumen Oilfield in the northwest to join the oil battle.When he arrived in Daqing, Wang Jinxi faced many unimaginable difficulties: no roads, insufficient vehicles, food and housing problems.But Wang Jinxi and his colleagues made up their minds: even with great difficulties, we must win big oil fields at a high speed and at a high level.In the face of many difficulties, Wang Jinxi led the whole team with the indomitable will and high energy of "I would rather live for 20 years less than to win the big oil field", worked hard for 5 days and 5 nights, and drilled the first oil blowing well in Daqing.In the ensuing 10 months, Wang Jinxi led the 1205 drilling team and the 1202 drilling team. Under extremely difficult conditions, they overcame many difficulties and both achieved the miracle of an annual footage of 100,000 meters.In those days, Wang Jinxi was too seriously ill to go to the hospital; the drill pipe weighing several hundred kilograms injured his leg, and he continued to command with crutches; Crystal powder, Wang Jinxi immediately decided to replace it with cement.Bags of cement were poured into the mud pool but couldn't be stirred. Wang Jinxi threw off his crutches and jumped into the waist-deep mud pool. He stirred with his body. The blowout was finally subdued, but Wang Jinxi was too tired to stand up.The landlady said distressedly: "Captain Wang, you are really an iron man!" This is how the name "Iron Man" spread.

The iron man Wang Jinxi grew from an ordinary worker to a leading cadre, but he was not arrogant about his accomplishments. He always maintained a modest and prudent style, caring for workers and their families, but he was strict with himself and his family. ".He said: "I let go of cattle since I was a child, and I know the temper of cattle. The cattle contribute the most and enjoy the least. I want to be an old scalper for the party and the people honestly for the rest of my life." At the end of 1964, he was elected as a representative of the 3rd National People's Congress. He attended the meeting and delivered a speech on "Building the Oil Field with Revolutionary Spirit" on behalf of the workers, which was warmly welcomed by the representatives present.After returning from Beijing, he still maintained the habit of modesty and prudence. He said: I am an ordinary worker with nothing to do but drill a few wells for the country.All achievements and honors belong to the party and the people, and I can only record the gap in my own small notebook.

Iron Man Wang Jinxi is very strict with himself and his family.Tie Ren's family is a big family, with 10 members in the family, and the younger siblings still have to go to school.In order to maintain the family's livelihood, Wang Jinxi asked his old mother to manage the accounts and live carefully.The Battle Work Committee and party organizations at all levels have tried their best to subsidize the needy workers. In the case of Wang Jinxi, he can enjoy a "long-term subsidy" of 30 yuan per month, but Wang Jinxi never spends it himself. He subsidizes all the money to needy workers. staff.The brigade sent people to send pork and flour to his home, but he refused to accept them all.He is willing to be the "old scalper" of the party and the people, and has established for us the image of a public servant who is honest and selfless.

Wang Jinxi worked day and night to develop the oil industry of the motherland, and eventually he was physically and mentally exhausted and fell ill from overwork. He died of stomach cancer in 1970 at the age of 47.The "iron man spirit" and "Daqing experience" left behind by him have become the precious wealth of our country's socialist construction. In 1964, Chairman Mao issued a call to the whole country to "Learn from Daqing in Industry". The "iron man spirit" embodied in Wang Jinxi has inspired generations of oil workers.Iron Man is not only a vanguard fighter of the working class and a model of Communists.He is also a national hero who solves problems for the country, wins glory for the nation, and stands upright.
