On April 29, 1960, the Daqing Oilfield held an oil congress and oath of war.

In the Daqing Oilfield History Exhibition Hall, the original main engine of a drilling rig, commonly known as a winch, is displayed.
In April 1960, the drilling rig of the 1205 drilling team arrived at Daqing Railway Station.
The newly formed Sazhong exploration area had very little lifting equipment.
Ironman Wang Jinxi led his teammates to unload the drilling rig with a total weight of more than 60 tons with both shoulders and hands.
After being shipped to the well site, the derrick was erected on the vast wilderness by manpower.

"With the roar of the oil workers, the earth will tremble three times.
" The Daqing Petroleum Contest was fought in a difficult time, a difficult place, and a difficult condition.
An oil painting "Meeting Teachers Daqing" in the Daqing Oilfield History Exhibition Hall vividly reproduces the original state of national support, passion burning, wasteland awakening, and the imminent war.

Under the extreme conditions of no food, no shelter, blue sky, and wasteland, the Daqing Petroleum people represented by Wang Jinxi shouted out the slogan "I would rather live less than 20 years, and desperately want to win the big oil field", and relied on his own.
, Hard work has created the Daqing spirit of "patriotism, entrepreneurship, truth-seeking, and dedication".
In 1964, the Party Central Committee issued a call to "learn from Daqing in industry", which set off a nationwide upsurge to learn from Daqing.

The development of the Daqing Oilfield has not only laid an important material foundation for the Chinese economy, but also provided valuable ideological incentives for the Chinese people to overcome difficulties and strive to build the motherland, leaving a rich spiritual wealth.

, said that the decisive victory of the Daqing Petroleum Campaign fully demonstrated the superiority of the socialist system.
