Located in the western part of Heilongjiang Province, Daqing is an important petroleum industry base in China and the "industrial son of the Republic", where the Daqing Oilfield was discovered in 1959, ending China's "oil-poor" history, and forming the spirit of Iron Man Wang Jinxi through the Petroleum War. The symbol of Daqing oilfield is Wang Jinxi. As the core area of Daqing oilfield, petroleum and petrochemical industry has long been a pillar of the economy, contributing about 1/4 of the country's crude oil production. Today, Daqing is promoting industrial transformation, developing new energy, equipment manufacturing, modern agriculture and other diversified industries, while relying on ecological resources such as the Longfeng Wetland, to create a livable and workable city, and to inherit the spirit of industry while revitalizing the development of new vitality.
