The first young man from Hangzhou to enter the mine was the 80 Engineering Office, and in Baijiqigou, a bare ravine, he was the only nephew, and the later one was the 79 Engineering Office. The 79th Engineering Office and the 80th Engineering Office are both well construction units, 79 are underground development, and 80 are surface supporting buildings, which are stationed in Baijiqigou to build a pair of large mines with a design annual output of 1.2 million tons.
After the well was completed, the construction unit changed jobs on the spot and established the Weidong Mine of the Shitanjing Mining Bureau, and several of them became the first batch of employees of the Shitanjing Mining Bureau. The mine is named Weidong Mine, and you can tell at a glance what era it was built.
There is only one street in the real Shitanjing, and the Mining Bureau is stationed there, the first and second mines are not far away, the third mine is far away, and the fourth mine is located in Lijiagou, which is even farther away. In a broad sense, the coal well is large, referring to the Shitanjing Mining Bureau, not only one mine, two mines, three mines, and four mines, along the Rujigou branch railway, but also the Wulan mine in Hulusitai, the Weidong mine in Baijijigou, and the Dafeng mine in Rujigou.
The Dafeng Mine is an open-pit coal mine, and the Dafeng Mine, like the Weidong Mine, produces the famous Tai (Tai) West coal. Taixi coal is a kind of high-quality anthracite, which is exported for foreign exchange, and I heard that the policy of cherishing Taixi coal is now adopted to leave some for future generations.
There was a saying in the coal mine: "Eat the food of the ancestors, create the descendants of the descendants", and being able to face this problem head-on shows that the society has progressed!
Several other mines produce bituminous coal, a variety of high-quality coal, and the Shitanjing Mining Bureau is known for its complete range of coal types.
Before I entered the mine, I worked as a migrant worker in the electrician team of the First Railway Bureau, and the campsite was at the Baijiqigou Railway Station. The section from Da Pei Ditch to Ru Ji Ditch of the Pingru branch line through Baijiji Ditch has been repaired and has not yet been accepted, and there is a small ticket car every day, which is temporarily opened by the Engineering Bureau to solve the traffic of workers along the way.
The carriages are from the Tsarist era and are marked in Russian. Baijiqigou Station is halfway up the mountain, there is a path leading to the bottom of the mountain, and not far down the mountain is the dormitory of several Hangzhou friends of Weidong Mine.
The electrician team of the First Railway Bureau is to set up communication lines, but it is very difficult to call a few friends of Weidong Mine: they use a crank handle, and they must first shake to the switchboard of the First Iron Bureau located in Dapeigou, and then transfer to the switchboard of the Mining Bureau through the switchboard of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau located in Shitanjing, so that they can return to the Weidong Mine switchboard at the bottom of the mountain, and the Weidong Mine switchboard will be transferred to the unit that needs to be found. It's really troublesome, it's better to run faster.
There was a snowy day, and the railway came, with cigarettes, alcohol and rare tofu. I informed them, and when they arrived at the station after work, the ** car heard that they were from the coal mine and refused to open the door, which made them very embarrassed.
I found the station inspector, who was sitting on a small stool and drinking. After listening to me, he got up, lifted a red light, and knocked on the door of the ** car. **The staff on the bus met the inspector and obediently received my friend.
After the inspector finished helping, he proudly said to me: "Friends are here to buy things, not to rob them." You're afraid of the cold, but people aren't coldIf he doesn't go on the road again, I put a red light on the carriage and tell him to stay here for the night today......After saying that, he sat down and continued to drink, and then turned around and boasted to me: "We have this privilege in this business, I said that the car is faulty, as long as I don't take off the red light, no one dares to pull it away." ”
Speaking of stone tanjing, there is an endless topic of conversation.
Shitanjing is a very peculiar area.
It arose during the Great Leap Forward years, and with the discovery of underground coal deposits, groups of pioneers began to gather here.
Several major coal mines were completed and put into operation, and a large-scale industrial town was gradually formed. When it was prosperous, it stood with Shizuishan and Dawukou, and became an urban area of Shizuishan City, which played a pivotal role.
In recent years, due to the depletion of coal resources, several mines have been closed and discontinued, and it has been downgraded from urban areas to streets and communities, and has gradually declined.
The four mines we once served, Lijiagou, have been closed for many years, and the railway has been blocked by the highway and has become a no-man's land. Originally, it was an ecologically fragile area, but goaf subsidence areas were added everywhere, and I don't know what it will become in the future.
There are almost no aborigines in the Shitanjing area. In the future, the so-called aborigines will be the group of people who "sacrificed their youth and children". With the gradual decline of the Shitanjing, the mines were discontinued, and the workers were transferred to the system, and the residents who had the conditions moved to live in Dawukou and even Yinchuan. There are only empty shells and some old people left in Shitanjing, and the aging degree of the Shitanjing area is far higher than the national average.
We pay attention to the integration of government and enterprise enterprises when we are in Shitanjing, and Shitanjing refers to the Mining Bureau, and the Mining Bureau dominates the world.
The scope of the Shitanjing Mining Bureau is very large, the scope of the Ulan mine under its jurisdiction is in Ningxia, and the wellhead is built in the territory of Inner Mongolia. The miners of the Ulan mine belong to Inner Mongolia Hulusitai, and the Mongolians mainly eat meat, and their non-staple food subsidy is 5 yuan per month, which is higher than oursInner Mongolians wear robes, Feibu, and the workers of the Ulan mine issue much more tickets every year than us.
The workers of the Mining Bureau come from all over the motherland, from all over the country and 56 nationalities from all over the world. There are those who stayed behind during the exploration and construction of wells and changed jobs on the spot, there are those who have been transferred to the old mining areas in Northeast China and Shanxi Province for technical assistance as a whole, there are those who have been rehabilitated by the troops, and there are those ......who have been recruited by blind migrants to join relatives and friendsThere are only about 200 young intellectuals from Hangzhou, and we can't lift a single wave, and it is a miracle that we can stand out in each mine as a whole.
It's such a coal well that has always haunted our souls, and the reason is simple, we have shed sweat and blood there!
In reality, Shitanjing is poor and bad, and this is an uninhabitable place. Except for some camel thorn grass on the mountain, there is not a trace of green. The wind blows only once a year, from the first day of the new year to the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the wind blows the stones and runs. It doesn't rain a few times, and as soon as it rains, there will be a flash flood, and there will be no water left after the rain.
The drinking water in the Shitanjing area has been recycled by natural purification for a long time. During the construction of Lijiagou, many deep wells were drilled, and the mineral content of the groundwater pumped up was complex, and the steamed buns were black, not only could not be eaten and bathed, but also had to be sealed with concrete.
It is in such harsh natural conditions that we have lived and worked for so many years.
Together with all the people of Shitanjing, we have contributed our strength to the construction of Shitanjing, although Shitanjing may disappear.
I can't forget that we used to be Shitanjing people!
