On December 21, the theme publicity activity of "Helping the Central Plains to Be More Brilliant and Gathering Strength for a New Journey" sponsored by the Henan Journalists Association walked into the "Xidajing 1919" red education base, and visited the red education base with addresses, history and things to see, so as to further tell the story of Henan and play the strong voice of Henan.
It is understood that "Xidajing 1919", formerly known as the Wangfeng Mine excavated by Yingshangfu Company in 1919, is the largest mine of Yingfu Company in Jiaozuo, commonly known as "Xidajing". As the largest modern mine in Henan Province after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has produced more than 43 million tons of high-quality coal for the country, and a large number of advanced collectives and advanced individuals have emerged, such as the third national advanced collective mining team and Ding Baiyuan, the "national model worker", and have made great contributions to the economic recovery and socialist construction of New China.
This is not only the birthplace of the spirit of 'special fighting' in Jiaozuo Coal Mine, but also the spiritual symbol of 'special fighting' of Chinese industrial workers. According to Wang Baocai, secretary of the general party branch and chairman of Henan Wangfeng Global Industry, in 1925, in order to support the Shanghai May Day Movement, an anti-imperialist strike broke out in Jiaozuo Coal Mine. After eight months, the Jiaozuo coal miners won the conditions of working no more than nine and a half hours a day and increasing their wages by about 30 percent after the start of construction, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of imperialism and demonstrated the great strength of the Jiaozuo working class.
In the 90s of the last century, with the depletion of mine resources, Xidajing began to seek the road of transformation and development.
Adhering to the development concept of making industrial relics "live", history and culture "brightened", and red genes "red", and clarifying the development and transformation direction of "excavating cultural heritage, building cultural tourism industry, and calling for red brand", Xidajing has successively built the "Jiaozuo Coal Mine Anti-Imperialist Strike Memorial Hall", "Special Fighting Spirit Continuation Hall", "Xidajing 1919 Family Style Family Training Cultural Center" and "Jiaozuo Model Character Museum" through the organic combination of "industrial heritage + cultural creativity + urban life" and other on-site teaching points of patriotism education, and completed projects such as the Red Auditorium, Kuixinglou Cultural and Creative Base, Coking Coal Shuangchuang Building, and Centennial Wangfeng Archives Building, as well as projects such as Young Talent Apartment, Wangfeng Jingxiu, and the State of Time.
With the gradual advancement of the construction of the base, Xidajing 1919 has become a successful practitioner of coal mine transformation, and has been rated as a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and has been selected as the fifth batch of national industrial heritage list and the first batch of "big ideological and political courses" practical teaching bases in the country, and has been named the national coal industry red education base, popular science education base, and the first batch of Henan Provincial staff patriotism education base. Since its operation, it has received nearly 2 million tourists, party members and cadres, and young students, and has become an important base for party members and cadres in Henan Province and even all over the country to carry out party history learning education and for the majority of young people to receive patriotic education.
