     Altogether there were said to be some 70 construction projects for coal mines, power stations, petroleum refineries, and oil wells in 1953. Of these probably the most important were the two open-cast coal mines at Fou-hsin which resumed production in 1953.

   • 1973, John T. Meskill, editor, An Introduction to Chinese Civilization‎^[3], D. C. Heath and Company, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 525-526:

     Most of Manchuria’s large deposits of coal and iron ore are also in or near the Liao valley, including the famous coal mines at Fu-shun, some thirty miles east of Mukden, another large coal deposit a hundred miles to the west at Fou-hsin, and a large reserve of iron ore at Anshan, fifty miles to the south. Anshan became the major iron and steel center under the Japanese, and still is so; the ore there is relatively low grade, and is hence expensive to move to the coal; coal accordingly moves to it from Fu-shun, Fou-hsin, and from high quality coking-coal deposits in the Pen-ch’i area in southeastern Manchuria.
