An arsenal in Shanxi, once the second national secret tank base, is now in ruins.

Shanxi has always been famous for its rich coal resources. In its heyday, many people mentioned Shanxi, and the first thing that came to mind was its developed coal industry. In fact, the city has also made some achievements in tourism. Shanxi attracts crowds of tourists every year with its rich local cultural tourism resources and unique pasta food culture.

In addition to some achievements made today, Shanxi has also made little-known contributions to the construction of China in the course of historical development, that is, the existence of the military factory built in this place. An arsenal in Shanxi, once the second national secret tank base, is now in ruins.

This gold factory is located in Houcun, wenxi county City, Shanxi Province. It is called the state-owned Liaoyuan Machinery Factory, and its code number is 5447. At that time, in order to meet the needs of social development and the construction of the motherland, a large number of aspiring young people gathered here with the ideal of joining the motherland. This factory used to specialize in the production of tank stabilizers, which is enough to imagine the vital role played by this factory in such an era background. Whenever this factory is mentioned, people always show pride. At that time, the workers living in the factory not only lived a very rich life. All kinds of infrastructure are quite complete, and as long as I hear that everyone I know works in this factory, it is a matter of honoring my ancestors.

With the development of the times, the Monkey King electric tour bus produced by the factory has become a very popular means of transportation, and the first electric golf cart produced in China is even a household name. Later, due to some reasons, people gradually faded out of sight. Compared with the glory at that time, the desolate scene now is somewhat embarrassing.

When I set foot here again, this factory, once full of laughter, has now become a dilapidated building. Various mottled traces in the factory show the passage of time. It is no exaggeration to say that how brilliant the factory was at that time, how lonely it is now. What comes into view in this factory now are rows of dilapidated bungalows, just like a very poor rural mountain house. It is hard to imagine creating such brilliant achievements in such a place.

Although the factory has shown traces of time, in the hearts of many people, those who have dedicated their youth and blood to the construction of the motherland and their spirit will remain in people's hearts forever.
