Lime Memory——Tangshan Qixin Cement Industry Museum

#September2025 Walking into the Tangshan Qixin Cement Industry Museum is like stepping back in time a century ago. Steel beams and creaking brick walls quietly tell the story of the dawn of modern Chinese industry. This former cement factory has now become a cultural sanctuary, with each aging machine bearing the marks of time, like a weathered elder, silently bearing witness to the city's rise and transformation. Inside the exhibition hall, images of everything from cement production processes to the Tangshan earthquake are breathtaking. This is not just industrial history, but a condensation of the city's soul. Stepping up the creaking wooden stairs and touching the cool iron, one can almost hear the shouts of the workers and the roar of the machinery. As we leave, the setting sun casts an orange-gold light through the high windows, reminding us that progress is never taken for granted. Every piece of cement is etched with the sweat and dreams of countless people.
