30 years ago, China’s chemical industry launched a vigorous campaign to learn from Jihua. Jihua’s refined management practices, its “four spirits,” and its work style of being rigorous, meticulous, practical, and fast have brought great benefits to many enterprises； Thirty years later, today, the “Jihua Experience” still holds practical significance. 　　The symposium was organized by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and was chaired by Li Shousheng, the Party secretary and president of the federation. 　　The participants jointly recalled the development history of Jihua and the entire process of the “Learn from Jihua” campaign. Established and put into operation in 1957, Jihua is hailed as the \"pioneer of China’s chemical industry.\" Over the course of its long development, it has developed \"four spirits\": the \"Back Mountain Spirit\" of taking on responsibilities to help the country; the \"Sack Hair Spirit\" of working diligently and striving hard; the \"Contradiction Joy Spirit\" of seeking truth, being innovative, and facing challenges head-on; and the \"Reach for the Sky Spirit\" of daring to be ahead of others and making selfless contributions” ； A work style of \"strictness, meticulousness, practicality, and speed\" has been established ； Valuable \"Jihua experience\" in enterprise management has been developed. 　　At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, China was in a critical period of economic reform, with state-owned enterprises being the focus of these reforms. Strengthening enterprise management and improving their overall quality became the key to making progress. In 1989, Gu Xiulian, then Minister of the Chemical Industry, ordered the entire industry to carry out an activity titled “Learning from Jihua,” to summarize Jihua’s experiences. A national outreach team was established to go to 26 provinces (municipalities, regions), visiting industrial and mining enterprises as well as government agencies and organizations to promote the “Jihua spirit” and “Jihua experiences.” “The “Learn from Jihua” campaign has played an important role in improving the management level of petrochemical enterprises, advancing various reforms, and achieving the goal of growth and development.
