Wang Jinxi and the first well drilled by Daqing’s 1205 team
From Yumen driller to leader of Daqing’s 1205 team, Wang Jinxi helped move a 60-tonne rig by hand and drove the crew through its first wells.
The memorial landscape links Wang Jinxi’s public legacy with the early oilfield work at Sa-55. The site places practical work and later commemoration together, giving Daqing a specific location through which to understand the people and labor behind its industrial history.
