On May 16, Pengfei Group’s Yong’an Coal Mine solemnly held its 70th-anniversary celebration, paying tribute to the future under the theme “Proud Coal Miners”!

Once upon a time, coal miners, with their steel-like spines, chiseled through the frozen earth, awakening the slumbering dawn of industry.

Once upon a time, coal miners, with their chapped and calloused hands, upheld the futures of countless families.

Once upon a time, work uniforms smeared with coal dust were the proudest fashion on the streets, and the steaming heat of the mine‑area bathhouse held the envious gazes of half the town.

Coal miners carry the honor of the entire mining region and, even more so, the glory and dreams of an era. They are the very embodiment of pride in every age—shining stars whose light never fades.

Today, as we step into a new era of smart mines, coal miners are driving industrial transformation with the courage to break free and reinvent themselves—moving from manual pick‑and‑shovel mining to intelligent fully mechanized mining, from timber supports to hydraulic roof supports, from manual inspections to intelligent robotic patrols underground, and from pitch‑black tunnels to positioning systems that safeguard every life’s coordinates. The new calling card of the “Smart Mine Vanguard” bears the indelible mark of our times.

Seventy years of transformative waves—each intellectual breakthrough has sparked a technological metamorphosis, and every painful phase of transformation has given rise to a new era for the industry. Technology has lifted the shackles of physical labor while redefining the depth of safety and the height of dignity. Today, coal miners stand taller and stride more steadily in the digital tide, with the word “pride” taking on an even more resounding meaning in the age of intelligent transformation.

The future has arrived. Pengfei will advance with the times, refine and strengthen the coal industry, and continually fulfill the ardent aspirations of generations of coal miners for a better life—letting the flame of energy ignite a century-old dream, and ensuring that the “proud coal miners” of the new era thrive and endure in the tide of intelligent transformation!
