Ji Xiangqin, blast furnace foreman of Hebei Xinda Iron & Steel Group Co., LTD., joined Xinda in 2008. In 1985, when he was only 18 years old, he began to engage in iron production, and because of his active work, he became the monitor of the furnace in only two years. So far, he has been standing in front of the furnace for more than 30 years, in his words: "In this life, nothing but iron!" Mention Ji Xiangqin in the ironmaking factory, everyone is full of praise for this ironmaking big brother, he is humble and gentle, simple, no matter in which post are dutiful, many times won the title of advanced production (work).

Although he entered the ironmaking industry at the age of 18, Ji Xiangqin set a firm goal for himself to learn smelting technology. He sinks his heart and puts all his thoughts on production, not only in his own work diligently, but also use the work gap to "steal art" with the master, he never cares about personal gains and losses, as long as he is free, he takes the initiative to help the master, learn their operating techniques, and exchange experience with them. Only two years, because of his outstanding work performance, he was promoted to the monitor of the furnace, but Ji Xiangqin did not stop here, but with each post master in-depth learning smelting knowledge and operation skills, through unremitting efforts, he gradually grew into a independent production director, accumulated a wealth of smelting experience.
When he first came to Xinda, he served as the production director in Jinfeng's small blast furnace, focusing on production work. Due to his rich experience, scientific and reasonable production organization, and good production indicators of blast furnaces, he has always been among the best. After being transferred to Hebei Xinda Iron and Steel Smelting Plant, he set a good result of the first production index for three consecutive months, and was praised and praised by the company's leaders for many times. When Ji Xiangqin was mentioned in the ironworks, both the leaders and employees gave him the thumbs up and praised him as a veritable "production expert". Of course, from an ordinary worker to the production director, these achievements are inseparable from his hard work in smelting for many years.

Talking about the past, Ji Xiangqin just smiled and waved, "That is the past, not worth mentioning, to focus on the present, grasp the present." At present, the market situation is unpredictable, and how to seek development in this environment is a problem that every Xinda person must face and an unshirkable responsibility." As a substitute foreman of a blast furnace, although he mainly does some auxiliary work on a daily basis, he does not relax at all and does a good job of auxiliary control work in details, especially the screening work of the furnace.
At least twice a day, he went to the sinter section of the raw material plant to check the actual situation of the sinter, and checked the screening division order to check the screening situation, and gave detailed feedback of relevant data to the production group of the section to provide decision-making basis for the blast furnace smelting production. Especially in summer and winter, he will pay more attention to the screening situation, because of the seasonal characteristics, it may cause the grate to be blocked, affect the grade of raw materials into the furnace, and have a direct impact on the blast furnace permeability. Therefore, he will pay special attention to the screening link in summer and winter to ensure the screening quality, create good smelting conditions for the blast furnace and reduce smelting costs. Work together to strengthen process operation, implement low silicon smelting, reduce fuel consumption and spare parts consumption in production, respond to changes in external furnace conditions at any time, and proactively report and put forward reasonable suggestions when there are fluctuations in furnace conditions.

Although Ji Xiangqin is over fifty years old, he radiates the grandeur of a man in his prime. There is a very steep ladder leading to the screen, and the average person feels very difficult to board, and also carefully, but he holds the left and right handrails with his hands, leans back, takes two steps and three steps, and effortlessly climbs onto the operating platform, like a soldier who blows an assault horn.
As long as the mention of blast furnace smelting, Ji Xiangqin the whole person on the flying, he talked about the precautions of each process, the details of control, years of smelting experience, all the blast furnace has been deeply engraved in his mind, as if it has been integrated.
More than 30 years stick in front of the furnace, Ji to diligent dedication, dedication, focus on the same spirit of work is every Xinda people's example and model. Generation after generation of Xinda people have promoted the development of XinDA across the glorious 30 years. On the magnificent road ahead, all cadres and employees must adhere to the word "work" first, take hard work, honest work, and creative work as conscious behaviors, and actively contribute wisdom and strength. To calm down in the ordinary post, calm down, take out the energy of hard work, courageously take the lead, and strive to achieve extraordinary results, write life with hard work, and engrave glory with struggle!
