Can you imagine what the industry of China, now enjoys the title of "World Factory", was like a century ago?
In 1905, when the imperial Qing government sent five senior officials to Japan and some Western countries to visit, seeking for solutions to save the decaying empire, "Yanchang Oil Plant", the first-ever oil enterprise in the Chinese mainland, was established in Yan'an of northwest China's Shaanxi Province. In 1907, Yanchang drilled the first onshore oil well "Yanyi Well", starting the oil production in the Chinese mainland. However, in 1907, the oil output could only reach 1 to 1.5 tonnes per day.
More than 100 years passed, Yanchang, now called Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., LTD, has made great development.
In 2007, the crude oil output, oil refining and processing, and sales of oil products of Yanchang respectively exceeded 10 million tonnes, engendering it into an emerging large oilfield with the output of 10 million tonnes.
Yanchang is an epitome of Chinese industry's centennial development since the 1911 Revolution.

CHINA-1911 REVOLUTION-INDUSTRY-DEVELOPMENT (CN)
(110930) -- BEIJING, Sept. 30, 2011 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on April 1949 shows a woman working at a workshop of a textile factory in Shanghai, east China.
Can you imagine what the industry of China, now enjoys the title of "World Factory", was like a century ago?
In 1905, when the imperial Qing government sent five senior officials to Japan and some Western countries to visit, seeking for solutions to save the decaying empire, "Yanchang Oil Plant", the first-ever oil enterprise in the Chinese mainland, was established in Yan'an of northwest China's Shaanxi Province. In 1907, Yanchang drilled the first onshore oil well "Yanyi Well", starting the oil production in the Chinese mainland. However, in 1907, the oil output could only reach 1 to 1.5 tonnes per day.
More than 100 years passed, Yanchang, now called Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., LTD, has made great development.
In 2007, the crude oil output, oil refining and processing, and sales of oil products of Yanchang respectively exceeded 10 million tonnes, engendering it into an emerging large oilfield with the output of 10 million tonnes.
Yanchang is an epitome of Chinese industry's centennial development since the 1911 Revolution.
The 1911 Revolution, led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, overthrew the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and also put an end to thousands of years of feudalist governance in China. After the revolution, Chinese industry developed as many Chinese factories, in the fields such as textile, flour, match, and steel and iron, were established at that time. However, most Chinese factories were in small scale and did not thrive for a long time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, step by step, Chinese industry has formed an independent and integral modern industry system with considerable scale and relatively high technical level. Especially in the 30 years after the Chinese government implemented the reform and opening-up drive, Chinese industry e

CHINA-XINHAI REVOLUTION-WUHAN-DEVELOPMENT (CN)
(110927) -- WUHAN, Sept. 27, 2011 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on Aug. 19, 2011 shows Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province.
Located at the east of the Jianghan Plain, and the intersection of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Han River, Wuhan is a metropolis in central China, arising out of the conglomeration of three towns of Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou.
Over the past 100 years since the Wuchang Uprising which marks the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, Wuhan has forged ahead greatly both in social progress and economic increase.
In early 1900s, Sun Yat-sen, China's great revolutionary forerunner who led the Xinhai Revolution, finished his book "The International Development of China", in which he tried to shape an outlook of Wuhan. Many of his ideas have come true today.
"This point (Wuhan) is the headwater of our projected ocean passage, the pivot of the railway system of China Proper, and will become the most important commercial metropolis in the country." said Sun in his book. "So in planning the future city of Wuhan we must adopt for its development a scale as the large as that of New York or London." Sun added.
In the regulation of the embankments along Yangtze River, Sun drew up a plan to reclaim the front of Hankou from the jetty of Longwangmiao at the junction of the Han River right along the left bank to the point where the Yangtze turned eastward.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the project of flood control on Yangtze River was on top agenda for Chinese leaders, and large scale investment were continuously arranged for the project in order to make the city get rid of flood threat. Nowadays, the water regulation project in Longwangmiao is a remarkable scenery spot in Wuhan.
During the past, few foreign merchants were willing to invest in Hankou due to the frequent floods. But now, more and more skyscrapers stand in Hankou. "It has been expected much by Sun to bring
