Fushun synthetic oil workers meet in the evening after work to discuss production figures. Their 1957 production: 400,000 tons compared to 50,000 tons in 1949 and to 250,000 in 1944, under Japanese occupation. Despite the enormous rise in crude oil production, it falls far short of the growing needs of the country. Development of shale and coal-tar oil are expected to fill the gap. On the wall is an attack on the “bourgeois rightists.”
