São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
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.
