The old miner named Du Jinpu retired from the coal mining area of Zhaogezhuang Coal Mine in Kailuan in the 1950s. He came here to visit relatives, and it was inconvenient to see people coming in and out here. From 1960, he ate dried sweet potatoes sent by local people, drank mountain spring water when he was thirsty, and beat on the cliffs alone. Some villagers wanted to help him, but he refused, saying that cutting mountains was his major in work and you couldn't help him. After more than a year's efforts, we finally built a mountain access road for the villagers, which can save nearly an hour compared with detours. When the last stone was pawned, he was too tired to stand up any more, and finally his nephew carried him out of the mountain.
After the plank road was completed, Du Jinpu left Sandaoliang, and he never came back to take a look at the plank road he had built for the villagers. However, the local people still clearly remember this respectable old man. They are not good at expressing themselves. They just named this plank road "Kailuan Plank Road", which has been called until now.
In 2002, Hao You, a retired cadre of Lujiatuo Mine in Kailuan, moved to Sandaoliang to live. After hearing Du Jinpu's story, Hao You went back to Kailuan to look for it, and finally got the news of Du Jinpu, but the old man died on 1976. The story of Du Jinpu's old man cutting mountains and building roads has made Hao You feel uneasy for a long time. After three years' efforts, he finally realized a wish on June 65438+1October 65438+June 2005: to build a monument under the plank road opened by Du Jinpu, in memory of this old Kailuan miner who made selfless contributions to the mountain people forever.
With the implementation of the national poverty alleviation work, several families in the mountains have moved out of the mountain, but the "Kailuan plank road" will always stand in the depths of this mountain.
