In 1967, ***, who was already in his twilight years, held ***'s hand in Tiananmen Square and greeted him twice: "Yonggui is good, Yonggui is good." ”
So what is the reason for *** to say such words of sincere admiration to the deputy prime minister who was born as a farmer on such an occasion?
Speaking of *** In the historical process of reform and opening up, this vice premier from a farmer has left a remarkable mark.
His rise is closely linked to his village, Dazhai, an impoverished mountain village that has undergone a seismic transformation under his leadership.
Dazhai Village is located in Xiyang County, Shanxi Province, was once a poor and backward mountain village, however, under the leadership of the first child, Dazhai Village implemented a series of agricultural reform measures in the 1960s, such as the production to the household, land expansion, agricultural and sideline development, water conservancy project construction, etc., so that the village's agricultural production level has been significantly improved.
In 1963, Dazhai Village suffered "seven disasters and eight difficulties", but with the spirit of self-reliance, the people of Dazhai overcame natural disasters and even paid commercial grain to the state, showing an exciting "Dazhai spirit".
Soon, the deeds of Dazhai attracted the attention and praise of the superior leaders, and was known as the representative of the "Dazhai spirit". As a farmer, he was invited to participate in various meetings in the province and Beijing to introduce the experience and lessons of Dazhai Village to people, and his eloquence and talent were praised by many leaders and writers, and gradually attracted the attention of the high-level leaders.
With the support of the people, he became the vice premier of the country, responsible for the country's agriculture, and he actively promoted the experience of Dazhai and called on the whole country to learn the "Dazhai spirit" and strive to improve the level of agricultural production.
He also personally went to the countryside, went deep into the grassroots, investigated the situation of agricultural production, and paid a huge amount for the development of agriculture in the country.
On the one hand, Dazhai Village has special natural conditions and social environment, which makes its experience difficult to replicate in other regionsOn the other hand, the Dazhai experience overemphasizes collectivism and ignores the enthusiasm of individuals, which is not applicable under the conditions of market economy.
** I also gradually became aware of these problems, so in 1980 he publicly stated: "Guaranteed production to households is capitalism, it is exploitation. ”
This remark caused an uproar and was met with dissatisfaction. The view that *** is wrong is a manifestation of "leftism".
Under the criticism of ***, ** began to reflect on his own views and was skeptical of the policy of package production to households.
In fact, ** was not stubborn, and while gradually realizing his mistake, he took the initiative to publicly apologize to the nation, saying at a meeting in 1982"I used to have a wrong understanding of the delivery of goods to the household, and I want to apologize to everyone. ”
This change marked his identification with the reform and opening up policy, from an opponent of "resisting to the end" to a staunch supporter of the delivery of production to households.
During this period, people gradually realized that in order to develop socialism, it is necessary to respect the laws of the market and give full play to the enthusiasm of individuals.
The transformation also illustrates the importance of keeping an open mind and being open to new ideas and concepts when faced with new things.
In fact, ***'s transformation is a manifestation of maturity and wisdom, and his ability to recognize problems in practice and openly admit mistakes is commendable.
His transformation also reminds us that in the face of complex and ever-changing social realities, we should keep an open mind and keep learning and adapting, rather than resting on our laurels.
At the same time, the experience of China also reflects the twists and turns and explorations in the process of China's reform and opening up, which has reference significance for our future development.
On the road of social progress, we need to constantly sum up experience, correct mistakes, and meet new challenges in order to achieve better development.
And the transformation of being a deputy prime minister is also of profound significance.
First, it reflects the changes in people's ideological concepts.
Before the reform and opening up, people had a relatively narrow understanding of socialism, believing that socialism was to emphasize collectivism and deny individual interests.
The change in socialism just reflects people's more comprehensive and profound understanding of socialism.
Second, it embodies people's spirit of openness and inclusiveness.
Ability to keep an open mind and be open to new ideas and concepts when faced with new things. This kind of spirit is worth learning from.
In today's society, we are also facing many new things and new challenges, in this case, we must maintain an open and inclusive spirit, and have the courage to accept new ideas and concepts, in order to continue to make progress.
