A corner of Fengdong Square, Taiyuan Sanjian Industrial Relics Protection Project.
html On the morning of July 13, in the shadow of the mottled sycamore trees, the Taiyuan No. 3 Supervisor closed off duty policemen to carry out party day activities in the newly renovated Fengdong Square in the supervision area. As the only supervision place in the province's prison system that retains industrial characteristics, the Taiyuan Third Prison Party Committee decided to carry out the protection and development of industrial relics in the prison area. Fengdong Square, which was completed at the end of June, is the first industrial relic protection project to be implemented.Pneumatic Plaza is located in the central area of Taiyuan No. 3 Prison Supervision Area. Its name comes from the predecessor of the prison enterprise "Taiyuan Pneumatic Tools Factory". The square is shaded by plane trees and covered with green grass. The four red brick walkways are distributed in the shape of clockwise spiral blades. spiral blades are essential components of many mechanical equipment and echo the meaning of "wind movement".
Surrounded by lush lawns, the five rough-looking benches also have a "big origin". The wooden seats and cast iron chair legs are simple and thick. They are old items "purchased" from the old factory building of the Third Prison. They are at least 20 years old. Sixty or seventy years old. During this industrial relic protection, the police from the third prison also gave five benches names - "Don't forget the original intention," "Review the past and learn the new," "The prosperous years," "Remember the bitter and think of the sweet," and "Rebuke Fang Qiu." The name tag hanging on the back of the chair always reminds the police not to forget the spirit of self-reliance and hard work of the older generation.
In the flat and quiet square, three "big machines" are displayed - the C620-1 ordinary lathe, the Y54 gear shaper , and the 400-ton hydraulic press , all of which were independently processed by technicians here more than 50 years ago. Assembled. Among them, the C620-1 ordinary lathe is known as the "mother machine" of industrial production and has created many production miracles. The front image of the 1960 version of the 2 yuan RMB is this model lathe . In 1969, Taiyuan Gas Compression Co., Ltd., the predecessor of Taiyuan No. 3 Supervision Enterprise After the first C620-1 ordinary lathe independently developed by the "Machine Factory" was successfully installed and tested, 30 units were successively produced to join the industrial wave. Today, under the careful care of the police, the handle of this lathe can still rotate normally, like a wheel of time, with the mottled rust telling future generations about the prosperous years and past glory.
Taiyuan No. 3 Supervision Bureau, which has been renamed several times, has a history of 71 years. It is an old industrial unit and has experienced "Taiyuan Iron Factory", "Taiyuan Local State-owned Machinery Factory", "Taiyuan Pneumatic Tool Factory", "Taiyuan Gas Compressor Factory" and "Shanxi Zhenghua". "Compressor Manufacturing Co., Ltd." has relatively backward basic conditions and has left behind many industrial relics. With the transformation of enterprises, some old machinery has been left idle, and various types of debris are piled up in abandoned sites, posing regulatory and production safety risks. At the beginning of this year, when the prison party committee started to carry out the work of rectifying hidden dangers, it came up with the idea of adapting measures to local conditions and decided to retain the "industrial style" personality, and immediately launched an industrial heritage development and protection project.
In fact, the location of Fengdong Square was once an abandoned iron-breaking machine yard. The yard was overgrown with weeds and piles of debris. Through spatial reshaping and functional redevelopment, the abandoned site has been given a new lease of life. Against the backdrop of the surrounding old factories, the cultural continuation and sustainable use of industrial relics have been achieved.
"Prisons are responsible for the social responsibility of warning and education." Xu Jie, political commissar of Taiyuan No. 3 Prison, said that on the basis of Fengdong Square, the industrial heritage protection and development project also includes an industrial cultural park, factory history exhibition hall, and overall regional transformation under construction. Focusing on the two focuses of prison historical imprints and industrial cultural elements, we create a leading and immersive learning atmosphere, build a unique cultural brand of "Party Building Red + Police Blue + Industrial Style", and create a crime prevention service that serves the provincial capital and radiates throughout the province. And the anti-corruption warning education base will be open to social groups when the epidemic subsides, and everyone is welcome to visit.
Short Comment
Let the "rust" of industry turn into "beautiful life"
Towering chimneys, abandoned wastelands, old factories, industrial relics that once roared with machines, how many "opening methods" are there for rebirth?
Those old machines and old factories are not cold steel and bricks, nor are they the burden of history. They have witnessed the rapid development of the times and are a precious historical wealth. When they are reborn in another way, they will surely broaden the dimensions of urban development and become a new way to continue history and culture.
hopes that more industrial heritage will "come alive", retain its "personality", and integrate into the present, so that those "rusts" with stories can become beautiful "beauties of life".
