History cannot be forgotten. Turn back the pages of history and say goodbye to the singing rings of the years. There is always a feeling letting people surge; there is always a force letting people boil with indignation; there is always a hope and dream letting people have unlimited expectations, unlimited yearnings. Here, it sounded the first clarion call of saving and rejuvenating the country through industrial production in the modern era.

The first technological revolution in the development of China’s iron and steel industry was initiated, and the first modern blast furnace of the People's Republic of China and its first oxygen blowing converter with high efficiency were developed.

Shougang people took the lead in exploring the reform of state-owned enterprises, taking one initiative after another and leading the global trend. A comprehensive large-scale enterprise with cross-industry, cross-region, cross-ownership and transnational operation has risen abruptly and become a banner of China’s industrial reform and opening-up.

They created the great miracle of rebirth and amazing leap “from mountain to sea, from fire to ice” in the world history of iron and steel industry. The magnificent picture of harmonious co-existence between metallurgical industry and Olympic Games, between industry and urban community, has become a new model and a new benchmark for enterprise transformation and urban renewal in the new era.

Happiness comes from arduous struggle and beautiful dreams come true by means of hard work. Shougang embodies the dreams of the Chinese nation. Centennial legend is the result of dynamic struggle by the successive generations of Shougang people. With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should have the great ambition that “Shougang will always be here” and the strategic determination of “carrying out a blueprint with verve”.

Standing at the important node of the 100th anniversary of Shougang’s establishment, and looking back on the past, we have gone through mountains and rivers; facing the future, we still need to break through a lot more. Guided by Xi Jinping’s socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and inspired by the “Chinese dream” of great rejuvenation, we will strive to create a new landmark for the rejuvenation of the capital city in the new era, and upgrade the iron and steel industry, so as to build a comprehensive large-scale enterprise group of worldwide renown.
