"Hard work, to create first-class performance. Quality is the life of a product, and the product is the life of an enterprise. " Walking on the West Road of Xinglin textile, some of these old age slogans are still preserved on the walls of some old factories. They are the earliest "witnesses" in the Xinglin Industrial Area, silently watching the land transformed into a major industrial area in Xiamen from a small village.

Xinglin Industrial Zone is the starting point for many young people in Xiamen. Because this is the birthplace of modern industry in Xiamen, Xiamen textile mill, Xiamen sugar factory, Xiamen power plant, Xiamen soda ash plant and so on, more than a dozen provinces, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises have settled here, Xinglin quickly become an important base for Xiamen's modern industry. This once unknown rural area quickly became the "star land" pursued by young people at that time. Talents from all over the country came to Xinglin to carry out the grand plan.

With the development of the times, in 1989, Xinglin once again turned "gorgeous turn" into one of the earliest Taiwanese investment zones in Xiamen. At the age of 30, all the undertakings of Xinglin have achieved a great leap forward, and the momentum of development is still strong.

Rural areas step by step to build industrial foundation

The meandering seawall, which is meandering, is like a huge dragon lying on the Xinglin Bay. The train running on the seawall is more like a Tenglong crossing across the rice fields, vegetable gardens and sugarcane fields across the Straits. This is the scene of the Xinglin people's commune in the suburb of Xiamen in 1950s: a small village.

"Industry must move backward, and Xinglin becomes the first choice." With the arrival of a document, Xinglin has made the first big change. This is the summer of 1958, Xinglin is designated as the new industrial area of Xiamen. In October of the same year, the first cotton mill in Xiamen, the cotton textile dyeing and printing plant, was built in the industrial area. This textile factory, built by the patriotic overseas Chinese leader Chen Jiageng, once solved the problem of dressing the people of Fujian. Subsequently, Xiamen sugar refinery, Xiamen chemical fiber factory, Xiamen glass factory, Xiamen power plant and other dozen provinces, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises have landed, Xinglin has gradually established textile, chemical, building materials, smelting and other modern industrial base.

However, development can not be smooth sailing. At that time, Xinglin often complained because its infrastructure couldn't keep up. When Zheng Defa, Secretary of Xinglin District Committee, introduced Xinglin power plant (later renamed "Xiamen power plant"), it was built when the Xinglin Industrial Zone was established. However, due to the large number of enterprises in the area, by 1965, electricity consumption had been seriously overloaded. At that time, the shortage of electricity became a big headache for enterprises. In order to ensure electricity consumption, the expansion is imminent.

In the book "seeking truth in Jimei", Zheng Defa tells about the pioneering work of concentrated supply of gas, energy conservation and emission reduction in Xinglin Industrial Area. In 1986, Zheng and the leading group visited the village of west side, and the villagers complained to him that "the air pollution is serious". Not only chemical fertilizer plants, but also factories and factories in Xinglin Industrial Area, were supplied with spontaneous combustion of coal and air supply.

In the face of complaints from the masses, the district has held several thematic studies. They are delighted to find that a foreign advanced technology can be used for reference, that is, the construction of central heating stations in industrial areas and the removal of small boilers in surrounding factories. This initiative has not only become a leading innovation in the whole country, but also laid the foundation for Xiamen to develop "green environmental protection" industry.

Sweet taste

Floating towards and outside the sea

Now, if you go into the Xinglin Industrial Park again, you can still see the shadow of industrial development from some old buildings.

At the original Xiamen textile factory 7, Xinglin West Road, now (Xiamen summer Textile Co., Ltd.), a red house is retained on the east side of the factory. On the two sides of the factory road about 100 meters long, red brick buildings were distributed. These are all warehouses, offices and living rooms in the original textile mill. They were built in 1958 and occupy an area of more than 3000 square meters. These old buildings have become the remarkable symbols of the struggle era, carrying the memory of a generation.

In addition to the building, people still miss the "sweet taste" and "full pride". The old Xiamen people remember the "Xinghua brand" white granulated sugar, the brand of "going out" from Xinglin Industrial Area, which was the first batch of white sugar exported from China.

According to relevant information, at that time, there were 9 crushing seasons in Xiamen sugar refinery, and each breakthrough season exceeded 100 thousand tons mark, up to 200 thousand tons or more. Xiamen sugar factory also imports "Cuba" raw sugar, becoming the first enterprise to import raw sugar, processing and refining in Fujian province. At that time, Xiamen sugar factory also became the world famous enterprise -- Coca-Cola Hongkong branch's raw material supplier. That is to say, when we were drinking Coca-Cola, there were products from Xiamen sugar factory. And "Xinghua brand" white granulated sugar has been awarded the title of provincial and ministerial excellent products.

Today, the Xiamen sugar refinery living area on the apricot road is the only remaining area in the old sugar factory. Many veteran workers have not moved out of the area so far. Some people live for half a lifetime.

"Upgrading" as a national investment zone for Taiwanese businessmen

In May 20, 1989, it is a memorable day for Xinglin Industrial Area. Xinglin Industrial Zone once again welcomed "transformation" - Xinglin Taiwan investment zone was approved by the State Council. Therefore, Xinglin began to develop the export-oriented economy as the main direction of attack, relying on the basic conditions of the old urban industrial area, and began a new period of development and construction.

Xu Zhenglang, general manager of Jay Hong (Xiamen) Electronics Co., Ltd., reminiscent of the experience of investing in factories in mainland China. "When I visited Xinglin in 1992, I took a taxi to see the site on Xingxi Road, and the car was still stuck in the dirt. When I got off the car and started the car again, the wheels threw up a pile of mud and got on my pants. Xu Zhenglang said, compared to today's Xinglin, not only the road is smooth, the environment is pleasant.

As a Taiwanese businessman, before deciding to invest in mainland China, he took a locals to inspect the situation inside and outside Xiamen Island, and finally settled down in Xinglin. From 1993 to the beginning of Xinglin registered factory, Xu Zheng has worked hard in Xinglin for 26 years. In his eyes, this is no longer the small village with mud roads everywhere.

"Changes in Xinglin can be described as" earthshaking ". Xu Zhenglang said that he has been in love with this land in recent years. Actually, Xu Zheng Lang, a Taiwanese businessman, is only one of the representatives of many entrepreneurs in the land of Xinglin.

Now, Xinglin owns major enterprises such as Dajinlong bus, Xiamen Machinery, Zheng Xin rubber, Lu Da industry, NEC East gold technology, Xinhua Technology and so on, mainly in machinery, electronics, chemical industry, light textile and other industries. Taiwan investment zone has gradually formed the machinery manufacturing industry, which is dominated by big Jinlong, Xiamen Engineering machinery and Xiamen apricot motor. The electronics manufacturing industry, which is based on Xin Hua technology, is the tire manufacturing industry that is leading by Zheng Xin and Xia Hui, and the four major textile manufacturing industries, such as Huamao textile, etc.

In 2003, when the administrative divisions were adjusted, the Xinglin Taiwanese investment zone and Jimei Taiwanese Investment Zone merged into an important part of Xiamen's economy.
