The former site of Yimen Mining Bureau in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, which was once more prosperous than the county seat, is now in glad you came.
Yunnan is one of the provinces with the richest mineral resources, especially non-ferrous metal resources, accounting for half of the country's reserves. Gejiu, known as Xi Du, is rich in tin resources and accounts for a high proportion of the country's output. Yimen Mining Bureau, which mainly produces copper, is one of the eight largest copper mines in China. In its heyday, Yimen Mining Bureau was more prosperous than the county seat. Now, with the exhaustion of resources, more and more miners are moving out. Now there are only a large number of idle old buildings, and a small number of retired workers are setting off the popularity of "Little Hong Kong".

Lv Zhi Town is named after its location on the banks of the Lv Zhi River. As the name implies, there are mountains and water. Although it is not picturesque, there is no shortage of primitive beauty endowed by nature, but this beauty was also manifested in the 1960s. The establishment of Yimen Mining Bureau not only broke the tranquility of Jiangyuan in Lv Zhi, but also brought a prosperous town to a small place in the mountainous area. With the continuous influx of miners and the continuous expansion of mining construction, the mining area has also become a world-famous "Little Hong Kong" deep in the mountains.

Lv Zhi Town prospered in a short time because of its considerable copper reserves. After liberation, Yimen Mining Bureau was established to better manage and mine copper mines in Yimen County. The discovery of copper ore in Yimen was earlier than Han Dynasty, and it was recorded in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The early Qing Dynasty was the historical peak of copper mining in feudal society. However, the ancient mining method was primitive and the output was not high, but during the whole Qing Dynasty, the copper mine produced in Yimen accounted for more than half of the total.

Yunnan is the gateway to the southwest of the motherland, and any dynasty in history is a battleground for military strategists. Even in troubled times in the Central Plains, Yunnan has never been forgotten. The most famous frontier soldier was Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Manchu Dynasty, the Han people became the frontier captives. At that time, everyone mistakenly thought it was to distract the Han people. In fact, it is to bring Wu Sangui to Yunnan, destroy the local toast, weaken Wu Sangui's power and gradually eliminate it. This is recorded in the official history, but it was actually the Qing Dynasty that peeped at the Yunnan copper mine. The problems left over from history made the Tusi system prevail in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the Qing court had to go to great lengths to eliminate the Southwest Tusi.

When it comes to Yimen Mining Bureau, we have to mention No.3 Factory and No.3 Mining Area. The place name can be imagined. There used to be three factories here. Before liberation, they were villages and towns. After liberation, they were called Sanjiang Commune. In 1987, they were named Lv Zhi Town. Lv Zhi Town was established on the basis of three factories and mining areas. Yimen Mining Bureau is one of the key development projects in the early days of the People's Republic of China. In order to better develop copper mines, Soviet experts were invited to introduce not only advanced mining technology, but also the most modern smelting technology of the Soviet Union. The Soviet expert building that assisted Yimen Mining Bureau has been well preserved.

Seven large and medium-sized mines, including Sanjiachang, Fengshan and Shizishan, have been completed and put into operation, and the mining business is growing, and the number of people living here is also increasing. Finally, it evolved into a prosperous mining city, with more than 30,000 people living here at its peak. Schools, hospitals, cinemas and other supporting facilities are also readily available, and the happiness of people living here has also increased. The social welfare of the county town can also be enjoyed here, and many people are proud to live here. Because of the high quality of life, young people in the mining area are not worried about being single. Marrying a handsome boy in the mining area is the dream of girls within 0/00 mile of Fiona Fang/Kloc-and it is also their lifelong pursuit.

In order to better reserve the follow-up talents for sustainable development, Yimen Mining Bureau also established a technical school with nearly 1000 students at 1960. Students were recruited from high school and primary school graduates, but they were closed at 1962 because they knew they were going to the countryside and other reasons. 1972 affected by the cultural revolution, a large number of employees' children stayed in the mining area waiting for employment after graduating from junior high school. In order to relieve the pressure of employment, the technical school resumed work. Most of the students come from local unemployed youth and the third generation of educated youth who go to the countryside. 1965 was renamed Yimen copper mine, and the school was also named Yimen copper mine technical school. 1986 Yimen mining bureau resumed its school, and the school was renamed Yimen mining bureau technical school, which was closed on 200 1.

Yimen Mining Bureau not only runs a technical secondary school, but also runs a workers' university, which is definitely the first one in China. 1975 Yimen copper mine was founded 72 1 staff university. 198 1 changed its name to Yimen copper mine staff college. 198 Yimen copper mine was renamed as Yimen Mining Bureau, and also renamed as Yimen Mining Bureau Staff University. Yunnan Radio and TV Station was once a branch of Yimen Mining Bureau Staff University. 1989, the technical school of Yimen Mining Bureau was merged into the staff and workers' university, and the children of Yimen employees can receive higher education without going far away, so they should be grateful.

The cinema is being renovated now, and it is very likely to become a hotel. Perhaps the greatest blessing of this cinema is that it can be reused, at least it will not be abandoned and collapse naturally. At that time, the cinema was a place where everyone had to go, and there was never a shortage of excitement. Only with the wide use of TV sets, video recorders and DVD players, the cinema was in a downturn for a while. You know, in Shaolin Temple in Jet Li and Shanghai Beach in Chow Yun Fat, a 20-cent movie ticket can fill all the seats in the cinema.

In 2003, with the exhaustion of resources, enterprises closed for reform and reorganization after years of losses. Eligible retirement, business ability diverted to brother enterprises. Most people are directly laid off and dissolved on the spot. The once prosperous town returned to silence, and the small place of Sanjia Factory returned to its original tranquility. Close to nature, close to nature, green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, and fresh air may be the original attributes of the third factory. After the miners left, many old buildings were left behind. In recent years, they have made some small achievements in attracting investment. At present, some businesses have settled in. In the future, it will become a mine-themed leisure resort, and Lv Zhi Town will be renamed Yuntong Town. We will wait and see.
