Life contribution
In January 1958, the Bureau of metallurgical industry was established in Shanghai. Xu Yan was the first director and Secretary of the Party committee. That year, the whole country carried out the "general line of building socialism", and under the guidance of the principle of "taking steel as the key link" in industry, a nationwide upsurge of "running large-scale iron and steel" was set off. The first party congress of Shanghai Municipality of the Communist Party of China decided that Shanghai's steel output should increase from 490000 tons in 1957 to 1.2 million tons. However, the original foundation of Shanghai Iron and steel industry is very weak, and it has no mine resources. Xu Yan shoulders heavy responsibilities and arduous tasks. Under the leadership and support of the Shanghai municipal Party committee, he relies on and leads other leading cadres to formulate and adjust the "five year" plan and plan construction projects. With the support of all walks of life in the city, he has carried out large-scale infrastructure construction. He took the lead to go deep into the site and promote the construction During his leadership of the Metallurgical Bureau, he successively established six iron and steel plants including No.5 plant and silicon steel sheet plant of Shanghai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and two auxiliary material plants including ferroalloy and carbon products, and expanded 10 iron and steel plants including No.1 plant and No.3 plant of Shanghai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and two refractory plants. In order to solve the problem of "cooking without rice" in Shanghai's iron and steel production, he actively planned and won the support of relevant departments to establish three auxiliary material mines and one ironmaking base in Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Zhejiang. During the three-year period of great development of Shanghai's iron and steel industry, Xu Yan proposed that "Shanghai should expand varieties, develop high-quality, refined, sharp and new materials, and turn the metallurgical industry into a department store with multi varieties and high quality. What the country needs and what we can produce.". In the early 1960s, with the first major adjustment of the national economy, a large number of infrastructure projects stopped construction. Comrade Xu Yan asked the metallurgical industry to "keep the seeds" to tide over the difficulties. Under the guidance of his strategic thinking, some key workshops and renovation projects related to military new materials have been continued to build and support, creating conditions for the development of new materials needed by national defense cutting-edge industry in the future. During his term of office, Shanghai Metallurgical Industry has formed an iron and steel industrial base with a production capacity of 2.15 million tons of steel and 1.8 million tons of steel, and a complete variety of plates, pipes, wires, belts and small and medium-sized profiles . In July 1960, he was transferred to the post of deputy director of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission and deputy director of science and Technology Commission of East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China. He was very concerned about and supported the metallurgical industry, set up projects for the metallurgical system, and coordinated scientific research and tackling key problems. Under his guidance and support, he made a lot of achievements in the smelting and purification of metals urgently needed and in short supply, such as nickel, chromium, titanium, cobalt and rare earth elements A number of domestic blank. At the beginning of 1960, China's nuclear industry was in urgent need of an important component (isotope separation membrane). Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council deployed Shanghai to carry out scientific research, and Xu Yan served as the leader of the leading group. Under his command, the Metallurgical Bureau built a professional factory. In less than two years, the first batch of type a separation membranes were developed and put into mass production, which played an important role in China's self-reliance production of nuclear fuel. In 1977, the State Council approved the construction of Baoshan Iron and steel complex in Shanghai to develop pig iron resources for steelmaking in Shanghai. Xu Yan was appointed as the first commander of Baosteel project headquarters and Secretary of the Party committee of the headquarters. Baosteel made great contributions to the construction of the project.
