I always like to sit alone under the bright lights, read a few lines of books and write a few words to spend the long night. In those years, I have been very "homebody". Four beds crowded into a single dormitory of 12 square meters, and there was no room for a desk at all. But everyone can get a "ribs stool" from the supply department, which is square and as big as two palms. When I want to write, I move it to the bed and write on my knees, so it is a "ghost painting symbol", which will be difficult to identify in a few days, and I often make mistakes.

From Shaxi to Dong Fan Iron Mine, I took a 40-cent commuter train at first, but later a rising tide lifts all boats and spent two yuan. However, I only go to Shaxi after working for half a day on Saturday afternoon. At that time, I was sitting in the car, just like "screening chaff" in the country, turning left and right, going uphill and downhill, and it was very bumpy.

That afternoon, the director accompanied an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses whose forehead was wrinkled by the spring breeze. As soon as they enter the workshop, the old people review every machine tool like a "military parade", especially those who are old and "retired", but they are reluctant to take a step. On these machine tools, there must be a smell of his memory.

In the workshop, it is rare to see such a "sage like type" old man. But we were embarrassed to disturb him, just looked at him quietly and walked into the team lounge.

In the lounge, we guessed his origin. No one knows him, but what is certain is that he worked in this workshop before he felt it, and the more he lived, the more solid he became.

The director accompanied him into my team lounge and we all warmly asked him to sit down. The monitor is busy changing tea, ironing cups and pouring tea. He looked around and then at the living room. He inquired about his recent work in detail.

He fell into a long memory and sneaked into the night with the wind to share with us.

1on March 4th, 968, Comrade Wen Yi reported the mine construction work to the headquarters for grasping revolution and promoting production, the Planning Department of the Ministry of Metallurgy and the General Administration of Infrastructure, and comrades from the Heavy Industry Bureau of the State Planning Commission attended the meeting and listened to the report. Comrades from the relevant departments of the Ministry of Finance said: The investment and construction progress of the mine agreed to the arrangement of the province. ……

1968, when everything was in a hurry, the spring breeze came, and there was a bright future, as well as the pride of "who is in charge of ups and downs". I was caught in the rain in a cloak and slept in the wind, looking for a journey to develop mining.

On April 2-3, in order to implement the directive spirit of the Ministry of Metallurgy on the construction of Dabaoshan and speed up the mine construction, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Heavy Industry invited relevant comrades from the Provincial Construction Committee, Changsha Mine Design Institute, the Design Institute of the Provincial Nonferrous Metallurgy Association and Dabaoshan Mine to discuss and study together, focusing on how to combine the mine transportation plan with the recent comprehensive planning plan for iron and copper mines. On April 13, the Construction Report of Dabaoshan Iron Mine was submitted to the production team of Guangdong Revolutionary Committee with the document No.26 of (68) Chongye Zi.

His speech is very happy, emotional and intense, as if he were "pointing out the mountains and rivers", as if he had returned to the years when his passion was burning, and he completely forgot the fatigue of the boat. I have been away from the mine for more than ten years, and I always want to come back to see it, just like returning to my hometown. This time, the child came to Shaoguan to work and begged several times before he got what he wanted.

He took a sip of tea and I was busy filling it up.

On April 20th, Shaoguan District Revolutionary Committee (68) issued Document No.227, approving the establishment of "Dabaoshan Mine Revolutionary Committee", and approved Comrade Jia Degui (military representative) as acting director, and two comrades Cai and Lin Wusen as deputy directors. On the 22nd, the inaugural meeting of the Revolutionary Committee was held.

In those years that can't go back, only memory comes down in one continuous line, and only memory can bring warmth, peace and far-reaching mind. He looked out of the window, as if standing not far away in 1968, calling him, how eager he was.

On August 30th, Zhiquan and Guangdong Revolutionary Committee held a meeting on comprehensive utilization of Dabaoshan mine resources in Shaoguan City to discuss the comprehensive utilization test and construction planning of Dabaoshan iron mine, and issued the Minutes of the Meeting, which decided that the construction scale of Dabaoshan iron mine would be 2 million tons per year, of which 500,000 tons would be supplied to Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant and the rest to Xiangtan Iron and Steel Plant.

In September, in order to implement the minutes of the conference on comprehensive utilization of mineral resources in Dazhushan, Shaoguan and meet the requirements of chlorination roasting test, a sampling team of 33 people was organized, led by Comrade Yan Baitang, most of whom were newly allocated college students.

I am surprised at his memory. That year, in his prime, he dedicated himself to the mine with a sincere heart, walked out of the ivory tower and plunged into hot water.

That year, he had the right woman, regardless of the strong opposition at home, nesting and having children. Now, the years are frozen into frost, sprinkled with salt and snowed. While sighing, I feel a little sorry, but I am still very gratified to be indifferent to the mines in the past.

1968, this workshop is called machine repair company. His wife is a young girl with long black hair. When she came to work, she rolled it up and put on a cloth hat. He just "visited" the machine tools, and his wife is familiar with them. This time she also wanted to come, but unfortunately her legs and feet were not very flexible, so he "did it for her". And he, mining in the north, only cares about prospecting every day.

He sat for about half an hour and got up to say goodbye. He continued to play, went to Jian 'an, went to the railway, went for a walk on the ropeway, and found his lost memories. He was very happy.

That night, roommates took a bath early and went to the cinema to watch "Mom, Love Me Again", which was very popular. I heard that people with a hard heart cry. I was so soft-hearted that I was afraid I couldn't stand the blow, so I closed the dormitory door and sat alone. There is a wind knocking at the door from time to time. In the grass in front of the window, crickets set up harps and plucked heartstrings, which was destined to be a sleepless night.

In 68, in his life, it was a birthmark.

Dabaoshan, too "tortured" people, but every miner is madly in love and dedicated without regrets. Life is gorgeous like summer flowers, burning vigorously.

"Not as good as mine!" When he left, he said meaningfully. This heartfelt words will always be warm.

Many years later, I can't forget it, especially at night, in the dead of night, remembering slowly, salvaging some words slowly and learning to love slowly are unforgettable. Only in this way can the mine stand when youth is about to be squandered.

Oh, under the bright lights.
