Fight for the socialist motherland
Zhang Tianqi Foreign Language w88 casino
w88 casino grandfather is a retired chemical engineer. His life of hard work and selfless dedication is a microcosm of the industrialization construction of New China.
w88 casino grandfather’s generation was born in the old society, grew up under the red flag, and received strong patriotic education from an early age.In the college entrance examination in 1962, w88 casino grandfather’s score already exceeded the admission score of Tsinghua University. However, he resolutely chose the Chemistry Department of Tianjin University. This is related to the social background at that time. Tianjin University was founded by Li Hongzhang in 1895. It was the first university in old China. Its original intention was to learn from foreigners and develop skills to save the country through industry. In 1959, the discovery of Daqing Oilfield launched the first shot in the development of the petrochemical industry in New China. Under Chairman Mao's call to "learn from Daqing throughout the country", the petroleum industry has become a top priority in the development of w88 casino country's industrialization. Inspired by the ideal of rejuvenating the country through industry, w88 casino grandfather entered the Chemical Machinery Department of the Department of Chemistry of Tianjin University for further study.
Chemical machinery major, also known as chemical machinery at that time101 is specially set up by the country for the development of the missile and atomic bomb industries. The subjects covered include machinery, construction, chemical engineering, thermodynamics, power, etc., which is equivalent to several times the amount of knowledge in other majors. It has a lot of content, a fast pace, and has high requirements for students. According to w88 casino grandfather, during the four years of college, students in this department rarely went to bed before one or two in the morning. In the dead of night, there are always lights shining in the drawing room. The head of the department at that time was the famous chemical engineering expert Yu Guocong, who had very strict requirements for students. During the final exam, each student needs to use only a pencil and an eraser to draw the structure of pumps, gears and other parts on the drawings within two hours. The proportions, sizes, dimensions, and markings must be consistent with the actual objects. If any line is drawn incorrectly, they will fail. Grandpa recalled that because the requirements were too high, dozens of students would take the make-up exam every year.
“Seek truth from facts” is the motto of Tianjin University. Teachers educate students to connect theory with practice, not to be superstitious about authority, and to dare to think, speak, and do. It takes at least ten years for theories and experiences in the field of chemical engineering to be incorporated into textbooks. In order to let students understand the most cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements, teachers at Tianjin University rarely used textbooks at that time. Instead, they compiled their own lecture notes and taught them their latest research results. Teachers will answer every question raised by students responsibly. If you know, you know, if you don’t know, you don’t know. Don’t be afraid of losing face in front of students. Teaching at Tianjin University focuses on hands-on practice. When teachers teach practical classes, they always go to the machine tools to demonstrate in person. They are often covered in oil and stains, just like factory workers. w88 casino grandfather joked that the students at Tianjin University at that time were all like "nerds." But it was with this spirit of concentration and inquisitiveness that they all became the backbone of the industrialization construction of New China.
At that time, graduating from college was the beginning of contribution to the country. The country has formulatedThe "four orientations" graduation distribution policy is for factories, for rural areas, for frontiers, and for grassroots. After w88 casino grandfather graduated from college, he was assigned to work in the Ministry of Chemical Industry. In 1968, w88 casino grandfather came to Qinghai Lake for labor and training at the arrangement of the state.
Qinghai Province, Gonghe County, Jiangxigou, altitude3000 meters, with an uninhabited area of 40 miles. Under the guidance of the political guidelines of the time, w88 casino grandfather and the others carried out military training while carrying guns, and at the same time they worked and planted highland barley and rapeseed. One package of seeds is 80 kilograms, and one package of fertilizer is 40 kilograms. They need to be carried onto the tractor with bare hands for sowing. As soon as the tractor started moving, wind and sand blew up all over w88 casino face. At that time, military management was implemented, and at night when the temperature was more than 20 degrees below zero, w88 casino grandfather and the others had to take turns standing guard. The whole body was wrapped tightly in a leather hat, fur coat and leather boots, but soon he was frozen to the point of freezing. They lived in army barracks, commonly known as "dry bases", made of yellow adobe, with thatched roofs and air leakage from all sides. On the freezing Qinghai Plateau, people rely on cattle and sheep dung collected from the grassland to keep themselves warm. When going out to collect cattle and sheep dung, the most fearful thing is that you will encounter a sandstorm. The sky was full of sand and dust, blowing non-stop for 12 hours. At this time, everyone could only hold on to the same rope tightly, line up in a row with their backs to the sand, and move back to the camp step by step. This kind of exercise cultivates young people's spirit of hard work and their awareness of obeying orders and obeying orders.
After the training in Qinghai, w88 casino grandfather was assigned to work in a Sichuan dye factory. At that time, the international atmosphere was tense. Chairman MaoUnder the guidance of the ideas of “dig holes deeply, accumulate grain widely, and do not seek hegemony” and “prepare for war and famine”, Sichuan has become an important node of the “Big Third Front”. In order to prevent imperialism from destroying our country's industry, many important factories were moved to the deep mountains in Sichuan. The unit where w88 casino grandfather worked claimed to be a khaki green dyeing factory, but in fact it was an arsenal that produced explosives. It provided a large amount of high explosives for the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam when the war situation was urgent at that time. Time is tight, and each workshop needs to be constructed and produced at the same time. It was common for w88 casino grandpa and the others to stay up for days and nights in order to compete for production and progress. The explosive produced in the workshop is called black gold, and its explosive effect is 16 times that of TNT. Because the explosives were so powerful, a 20-meter-thick explosion-proof earth wall was erected outside the factory. An installation responsibility system is implemented within the workshop. The comrades responsible for installing the equipment need to personally start the machine after the installation is completed and use their own lives to ensure the quality of the equipment and production. Because once any problem occurs, you will be the first to be injured. Red, black, and green wastewater flows from the boiler, and the foul smell hits your face. But after the training on the Qinghai Plateau, no one complained about being dirty, tired or suffering. Everyone just wants to complete the tasks assigned by the organization as soon as possible, dedicate themselves, and support the Vietnam War. A large red banner hangs high at the construction site, with the words: Win glory for Chairman Mao and win for the socialist motherland. This was not only a political slogan at the time, but also everyone's eager expectation.
Grandpa is dedicated to his work and a legend throughout his life. Like thousands of people who have selflessly contributed to the socialist construction of New China, he is the creator of the history of New China. At present, when we are comprehensively building socialism with Chinese characteristics, we need to learn from history more than ever, learn from them, learn from their perseverance, learn from their spirit of love for the party and country, bravely stand at the forefront of the times, and hand in qualified answers for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
