The construction of third-front enterprises mainly focused on the mountain area of west China where the economy and traffic were very underdeveloped.Many enterprises left their factories,buildings,equipment and facilities after the adjustment and removal policy.Owing to the lack of management,the majority of the leftovers were abandoned and remained in idle condition and were finally forgotten over time.(https://www.daowen.com)
Third-front construction played an essential role during China's socialist construction.Builders of third-front construction sites abandoned their city life and devoted themselves to the third-front construction in west mountain areas.They built up factories and made arduous efforts to research military products and,through thick and thin,made great breakthrough in atomic and hydrogen bombs and man-made satellites,nuclear submarines,aerospace engineering and other sophisticated national defense technologies.They practiced the Socialism Core Values in a down-to-earth way and opened a new chapter in the history of our country's construction.All of these remains such as factories,equipment and facilities and buildings for daily life are witnesses of that history as well as the carrier of third-front spirit.Currently,the third-front heritage is in the danger of being destroyed and we cannot leave it alone until it is too late to react.
