Third Line Construction is a historical event that took place between 1965 and 1980 in just fifteen years. It was a special period, under special circumstances, an unprecedented industrial construction of "building a camp near the mountains and rivers". For today's young people, this is a very unfamiliar historical term.
Sichuan is the top priority of the third line construction, kicking off with the large-scale steel construction of Panzhihua. The third-line construction has also accelerated the speed of building a factory in Mianyang. A large number of key industrial enterprises in Mianyang have been established one after another. The production capacity, production level and production scale of military-industrial enterprises have been further strengthened, improved and expanded.
The former state-owned Chaoyang Factory is located in Fule Street Office, Youxian District, Mianyang City. In 1969, in order to cooperate with the country's third-line construction, a shell factory was established here to produce conventional weapons . The state-owned Chaoyang Factory, the military code-named "5023" Factory, was relocated from Hunan Factory 282, Pingqiu Factory 152, and Xi'an Factory 843. This is a well-known military factory with great achievements. The 58-standard shells produced have made great achievements in the self-defense war against Vietnam, and hence the name "Factory 58".
In the 1980s, with the change of the international situation and the domestic economic development situation, the construction of the third line was basically over. Military products orders are gradually starting to decrease, and in order to survive, they can only develop civilian products. The factory began to trial-produce and produce small batches of Dujuan brand bicycles, and then produce micro-car . After several unsuccessful transformations, Chaoyang Factory finally went bankrupt.
Chaoyang Factory is a large military factory with an overall area of about 1,600 acres, with more than 2,700 employees, and a staff dormitory, auditorium, shops, banks, guesthouses, schools, hospitals, bathhouses and other supporting facilities. But as the company went bankrupt and employees scattered, the factory area is now only a desolate, overgrown weeds, and several buildings full of age.
Standing at the gate of Chaoyang Factory, two rows of tall camphor trees stand upright, extending from outside to inside. The slogans retained on both sides of the gate, after wind, sun and rain, still saw the handwriting neat and clear, which made future generations think of those passionate years. Walking in the factory road, a large number of buildings in the 70s and 80s styles are hidden among the weeds and green trees, silent.
A gray building, Chaoyang Factory Teaching Building, was selected as the first batch of historical buildings in Mianyang. Many employees of Chaoyang Factory had studied and promoted in this building at that time. In addition to the overall structure remaining intact, the buildings, windows and other objects in the inner room have long been dilapidated. Let the wind and rain wash or be damaged by man, it will appear withered and desolate and ruins.
Some areas of the factory are listed as the renovation scope, and banners announce that the demolition and renovation are underway here, and many buildings have turned into piles of broken bricks and rotten tiles in the roar of machines. Do you still remember the small ditch, light court, auditorium, Yuanbao Mountain, General Tower, etc. that catch fish and shrimp? What other old stories do you know about Chaoyang Factory? Thanks for sharing.
