'''Wang Jinxi''' ([[Chinese]]: 王进喜)(1923-1970) was born to a poor peasant family in [[Gansu Province]]. In his own words, his "life in the old society was a nightmare." He took jobs as a shepherd and a coal carrier before starting work in the Yumen Oilfield in [[1938]] at the age of 15. In [[1956]], Wang Jinxi joined the [[CPC|Communist Party]], and in[[ 1959]] attended a National Conference of Heroes of Labor in Beijing.

In [[1960]], [[Mao Zedong|Chairman Mao]] decided to break China's dependence on foreign oil supplies by boosting domestic production. The Party Central Committee decided in February [[1960]] "to fight 'a massive battle' to open up [[Daqing]]," an oil field in [[Heilongjiang Province]]. Wang and his famous No. 1205 Drilling Team rushed to the bleak grasslands, worked through fatigue and injury in temperatures as low as -30°C before finally striking oil. In 1960, the nation was called upon to learn from the "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi. He became the poster-boy of the working class in Mao's new [[China]].

In [[1968]], Wang was elected to the Central Committee of the Communist Party. He died of cancer in [[1970]] at the age of 47.
