After retiring in the 80s, he lost his temper at his secretary and ordered: no more documents should be sent to him!**After retirement, in addition to working as a consultant on the farm, he occasionally looked at the documents sent by the secretary, and was naturally very angry when he saw these news, and he inevitably lost his temper because of his upright personality. The secretary understands him, so he naturally doesn't care, and is even a little worried about his physical condition, and after the leader of *** and other ** learned of this situation, he also specially told the secretary: "Don't send this kind of document over in the future, Yonggui is not in good health, and his emotions should not be too excited." ”
In fact, ** and others have a good relationship with ***, everyone admires his straightforward and free character, and there are a lot of interesting things about *** during that period. Dazhai Village is located in the Taihang Mountains, with poor natural conditions, water shortage and barrenness, and serious soil erosion. More than 800 acres of slope land in the village are scattered"Seven ditches and eight beams are sloped"It is divided into more than 4,700 large and small fields. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Dazhai people under the leadership of the Communists, to carry out cooperative production, at that time, the village party branch headed by the first led the Dazhai people, with sickles, shovels, baskets and other simple tools, sluices, dams and weirs, and built these scattered slopes into horizontal terraces, preventing soil erosion and increasing grain production.
In the autumn of 1963, Dazhai suffered a catastrophic flood, more than 100 large stone dams were washed away, layers of terraced fields were washed into large ditches, grain was destroyed, and houses collapsed. In the face of the catastrophe, the people of Dazhai started from scratch, resisted the disaster and won a bumper harvest, and did it"Three don'ts"- Do not want relief food, relief money, or relief materials from the state;"Three is not less"- There is a lot of food rations for members, daily distribution, and food sold to the state. The deeds of the Dazhai people who built dams and repaired fields and bravely resisted floods attracted the attention and publicity of all parties, and became a red flag on the agricultural front at that time.
At the first session of the Third National People's Congress, the Prime Minister said:"The Dazhai Brigade is an advanced model of relying on the collective strength of the people's communes to carry out agricultural construction and develop agricultural production on its own initiative. "Since then,"Dazhai spirit"Because of this flood, it became widely known and became a banner on the agricultural front. In the fifties and sixties of the last century, it was mentioned that the construction of a new socialist countryside was mentioned, and the house should be built upstairs and downstairs in the future, and we repaired the land and built the house at that time, and by 1963 it had already been a little shaped, but it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights, and the Dazhai was washed beyond recognition.
After the flood in 1963, the party branch mobilized everyone, difficulties always have to be overcome, the flood rushed out of a broken village, we will build a new village, plan to do little by little, grit your teeth and must carry the difficulties over. In this way, we worked overtime at night, and there was no watch at that time, how to determine the time, so we used incense, burned an incense for an hour, and after the two pillars of incense were finished, it was almost time to go home and sleep. I didn't change my clothes when I went back, and when it was too dirty, I washed it and put it on the pot and put it on the next day.
At that time, the clothes were made of coarse cloth and homespun cloth, and when we came back from Hebei Province, we spent a cent or two to buy our own clothes, but it was bitter. Eating is also very simple, millet porridge in the morning, adding some paste noodles is bran noodles, and then with some sauerkraut, no oil. At that time, we pounded it with almonds and fried it with sauerkraut.
On March 23, 1964, the special train stopped at Handan Station in Hebei Province, and Tao Lujin, Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, was instructed to report on his work. On the train, Tao Lujin introduced the situation of Dazhai and *** to ***. He also introduced the long newsletter "The Road to Dazhai" and the report materials published on the front page of the "People's **" on February 10, 1964 and written by Xinhua News Agency reporters.
After listening to the report, he said: "It seems that you can't take the big boss lightly. Good articles come out of the poor ravines. Tao Lujin's "Handan Report" has made an important paving for the experience of the Dazhai Brigade led by Tao Lujin to be promoted to the whole country. is also a turned-over peasant in the old area of Taihang, * in the process of supporting the front, the understanding of connecting personal destiny with the destiny of the country, is very similar to Li Shunda. In 1946, Dazhai Village, Xiyang County, Jinzhong, which was also under the jurisdiction of Taihang District, began to establish an agricultural mutual aid group. ** The old and young groups have become a typical example of mutual assistance and cooperation.
In 1953, he became a model in mutual aid and cooperation and served as the secretary of the Dazhai Party branch. Since 1956, the names of Dazhai and *** have continuously appeared in the list of advanced collectives and activists in Xiyang County who have participated in the construction of socialism in the province. In March 1963, Shanxi Province held a meeting of representatives of advanced collective units in agricultural production in the province, and the meeting called for Dazhai to be "regarded as a red flag on the agricultural front of the province".
In December 1964, in the "Work Report of the Third National People's Congress", the evaluation of the "communist style of loving the country and the collective" made on the spirit of Dazhai was a summary of the agricultural embodiment of the communist spirit represented by Dazhai. On August 12, 1966, with the consent of the Communist Party of China, the 11th Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a call for "Agricultural Dazhai" to the whole country for the first time in the communiqué.
In 1968, he put forward a plan for the transition of Xiyang County to the brigade as the basic accounting unit, and in July 1975, he proposed to realize the idea of transitioning to the brigade as the accounting unit nationwide, and in 1977, he re-proposed to the leaders at that time the proposal for the transition to the brigade as the accounting unit. According to research, the people who have been pushed to the top level also had the idea of agricultural socialism with the commune as the basic unit of accounting and then the county as the basic unit of accounting. With the advent of the new era, the end of the "one big and two public" system has become inevitable.
In the early 80s of the last century, China's rural areas fully implemented the "big package" production responsibility system. With the complete dissolution of the People's Commune, the history of agricultural collectivization came to an abrupt end, and the red flags of Xiyang and Dazhai were also lowered. From the "Xigou-Sanliwan Road" during the period of mutual assistance and cooperation to the "Dazhai-Xiyang Road" during the communization period, the "Taihang Mountain Road" has left valuable experience in the process of exploration.
