  "Working in the mining area is very hard." As the third-generation miner of the Jiu Steel Group, Xie Shengrui said that in the past, the underground production and working environment were not good. The work clothes they wore were often a layer of greasy sludge and a layer of ash. The comfort is low and it is very inconvenient. "Not only have to have fun in hardship, but also find ways to improve the conditions and mobilize the enthusiasm of the workers."

  Jiayuguan is known as the "Gobi Steel City" because of the establishment of mining enterprises and the establishment of cities for enterprises.
