◎ Our city spirit: New Tangshan humanism spirit

Tangshan is a special city. Over the past century, many glorious traditions and revolutionary legacies have been formed in the city. These includes Dazhao spirit of “iron shoulder to bear the moral,” which is related to Li Dazhao, one of the founders of the CPC; the “especially good at fighting” spirit of the Kailuan working class, which was affirmed by late top Chinese leader Mao Zedong; the spirit that “three donkey legs can make a revolution” left by the poor people in Xipu Village of Zunhua County, which was highly praised by Mao; the “contemporary Yugong” spirit of “creating high yield on the green stone slabs” in Shashi Valley, which was praised by late Chinese premier Zhou Enlai. There is also the “Tangshan anti-earthquake spirit,” which was summarized by former CPC General Secretary Jiang Zemin as “selfless in the interest of the public, sharing weal and woe, being indomitable, persevering and forging ahead bravely.” These legacies have been inherited and condensed into the humanistic spirit of New Tangshan, whose essence is “gratefulness, fraternity, openness, and seeking excellence.”(https://www.daowen.com)
