Description
"The years of mass campaigns" refers here to the campaigns to get petroleum extracted and transported from Daqing to Qinhuangdao during the late 1950s and early 1960s despite harsh working conditions and freezing cold weather. Created in 1974, this image shows a group of night shift workers, wearing fur coats and fur hats in the frozen landscape, gathered around a campfire on a break and studying Mao's writings. Seated in the middle, in front of the campfire with Mao's book open on his knee and talking, is the ironman hero Wang Jinxi. A few other workers also hold Mao's book, and several oil rigs can been seen operating in the background Reformatted digital Di 1 ban 第1版 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) UCSD's copy formerly owned by Paul Pickowicz "Hui zhan nian dai, 1974 nian 8 yue Zhitian zuo."
