Huang Jiqing

Huang Wan’s grandfather, Huang Jiqing, was a prominent geologist whose tectonic theory led to the discovery of the Yumen and Daqing oilfields in China. Although he was the actual discoverer of the Daqing Oilfield, the credit was attributed to Li Siguang due to Huang’s exile during the Cultural Revolution. In 2009, the CCTV drama The Founder was produced to honor Huang Jiqing’s contributions.
