The daily morning briefing at 7 a.m.

It kicked off Li Junwen’s day.

Like similar morning meetings

It has been steadfastly maintained for more than two years.

Early 2020

The Yonghong Old Mine, which was already resource-depleted and faced harsh operating conditions.

It has suffered a double blow from the “12.13” accident and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Li Junwen was appointed mine manager of Yonghong Mine under critical circumstances.

For several months in a row, Li Junwen tirelessly handled the procedures required to resume work and production. At the time, many restaurants were closed due to the pandemic, and he often went hungry, fearing that delays would jeopardize matters. Eventually, he managed to streamline the process and secure all the necessary approvals. Thanks to his persistent efforts, Yonghong Coal Mine also turned around a five-month shutdown, achieving its full-year output in just seven months.

Amid the twin torrents of this pandemic and the “12.13” accident, Li Junwen has shouldered the banner of Yonghong!

Having served at the mine for more than two years, Li Junwen has not only organized the entire operation with meticulous precision but also tirelessly roamed every corner of the Yonghong Mining Area. Leveraging his expertise as a master’s degree holder in mining engineering, he has proactively pursued initiatives such as the re‑mining of the No. 3 coal seam, the extension of the second level, the extraction of overburdened resources, the upgrading of the coal preparation plant, corporate restructuring, and internal talent development. These efforts have extended the service life of this aging mine by nearly 20 years, exemplifying the sense of responsibility and commitment befitting a Pengfei mine manager. At the Group Company’s 2021 awards ceremony, he was honored with the “Dedication Award.”

In the eyes of his superiors, he is a diligent and reliable assistant; among his colleagues, he is an unwavering “workaholic” who remains both humble and confident; and to his team members, he is an approachable and down-to-earth “great leader.”

He has always been a very conscientious and persistent person, leading by example in everything he does and frequently going to the grassroots level to conduct field research. His meticulousness and unwavering dedication are truly compelling, inspiring everyone around him; under his influence, we have all come to raise our standards for ourselves.

When it comes to family, Li Junwen wears an expression of deep guilt. Though his home is less than twenty minutes from the mining area, he can count on one hand the number of times he returns each year. Even when his young son, just ten years old, falls ill, he can only rush home for a brief visit before hurrying back to the mine to resume his work.

I’ve grown accustomed to his busy schedule, and it’s impossible not to feel a bit of resentment. Still, I see how hard he works, and when I come home to catch him looking exhausted, I can’t bear it either. So I swallow my complaints and keep them to myself, hoping only that his work goes smoothly and that he stays safe and well. He told me that Pengfei is a company with clear, steadfast goals—one that’s in tune with the trends of our times. Though I don’t fully understand it myself, I support whatever he decides. As for what I can do, it’s to be a supportive partner at home and take good care of the family.

My dad is very busy—he works during the day and keeps working at night, too. Sometimes I miss him terribly. During summer vacation, I go to his workplace to see him. My dad is an amazing person, and when I grow up, I want to be just like him.

Thirty-five of the year’s 365 days, Li Junwen spends working in the coal mine—far more than just a statistic; it is the very essence of his dedication to making the mine his home. He often says, “Without rules, nothing can be properly shaped,” and insists on “saying goodbye to non‑standard practices, lack of precision, and thoughtlessness.” Under his leadership, the mine has established over 80 internal systems, including the Yonghong Coal Mine’s “13710” Work Management System and the 5H Management Measures, ensuring that safety management is guided by clear procedures and that the mine operates safely and in an orderly manner. Each document, page by page, was painstakingly crafted through long, late‑night efforts led by him and his team.

I simply did what I was duty-bound to do. As a mine manager, my responsibility is to generate profits for the company and steer the mine effectively, thereby meeting the real needs of our employees. Pengfei Group has proudly made it onto the Fortune China Top 500 list; we are both proud and acutely aware of the immense pressure that comes with this achievement. We will turn this pressure into motivation, closely align ourselves with the group’s development trajectory, fully leverage the driving force of our “Ten Major Productive Forces,” and continue to strive tirelessly for Pengfei’s growth.
