Securing our energy future: An oil worker's pride in Xinjiang

From the 1990s to today, Gao Weiming, oil drilling worker at Tuha oilfield, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), has seen Xinjiang's transformation up close.

"I feel very fortunate to be living in this era," the frontline oil worker says.

Gao's story is a testament to the dedication behind China's energy independence. With Xinjiang leading the nation in oil and gas production, he embodies the spirit of holding China's energy future "firmly in our own hands."
