The steel industry is a significant basic industry of the national economy and an important symbol of the country's economic level and comprehensive national strength. Chairman Mao once remarked, "With grain and steel, everything else will be manageable." Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the steel industry has undergone a journey of pioneering efforts, overcoming obstacles, hard work, and vigorous development, achieving rapid growth from small to large, and from weak to strong. It has created miracles in the history of world steel development, laying a "steel" foundation for the nation's strength and prosperity.

Once lacking in steel and iron, China has gradually become the world's largest steel producer and a steel power with the most comprehensive range of steel products. Since then, the steel industry has made tremendous contributions to economic development. During this period, the steel industry has given birth to the "Meng Tai Spirit," "Ma Wanshui Spirit," "Panzhihua Spirit," "Tieshan Spirit," "Li Shuangliang Spirit," and "Zeng Le Spirit," achieving one technological breakthrough after another and making one industrial layout after another.

The steel industry today is continuously refining itself on the path of high-quality development: new measures are being explored to stabilize operations, technological innovation has achieved new results, low-carbon green development has made new breakthroughs, smart manufacturing has seen new enhancements, new achievements have been made in iron resource development and security, and new progress has been made in industrial chain exchanges and cooperation. The industry needs exemplary forces that keep pace with the times, and the era calls for the enduring spirit of the industry. "Admiring heroes breeds heroes, and striving to be heroes leads to a generation of heroes."

As the only authoritative media in the steel industry, China Metallurgical News Agency is committed to promoting exemplary figures, deeds, and spirits within the industry, creating an outstanding brand image, and contributing to the development of the steel industry. On the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China Metallurgical News Agency established the Center for Promoting Excellent Brands, which will serve as an opportunity to produce a series of promotional films that shape the outstanding brand image of the industry.

Currently, China Metallurgical News Agency is planning to hold a "Love the Motherland, Love the Steel Industry" short video competition in honor of the National Day anniversary, inviting short video stories from various enterprises and institutions in the industry. The competition will select one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes. Additionally, outstanding works will be followed up and reported by China Metallurgical News, Metallurgical Media, the official Douyin account, the official Kuaishou account, the official Toutiao account, People's Daily account, and Xinhua account, allowing more good stories of China's steel industry to be remembered.
