He was a soldier and a tough guy who defended his homeland. After changing jobs, he went to work in Nanning City and made important contributions to the development of his company. In life, he always kept in mind the original mission of the Communist Party, was enthusiastic about public welfare, helpful, actively served the people, and donated money and materials for the development of his hometown many times. After his tragic death, his family donated his deceased organs—a liver, a kidney, and a pair of corneas—to save the lives of two critically ill patients and help them regain their sight.
His name is Zou Shengkun, and he was once rated as one of the top ten "good people around" in Pingle County.

He was an excellent soldier when he was in Rong, and after he retired from the army, he became a corporate marketing champion
Zou Shengkun is a native of Huyang New Village, Huyang Village Committee, Zhangjia Town, Pingle County, and was born in an ordinary peasant family. After enlisting in the army in 1987, he went to work in a department in Longzhou County, Chongzuo City. Because of his excellent style, outstanding performance and excellent skills, he has won many awards from the army, and was awarded a third-class meritorious service in 1992. Subsequently, he honorably joined the Chinese Communist Party.
After being discharged from the army, Zou Shengkun returned to his hometown and briefly served as an off-campus counselor at a school. In 1994, he went to Nanning City to work and entered the sales of agricultural materials in Guangxi, and his first position was a driver.
Zou Shengkun drove all over Guangxi and went through the arduous process of the initial stage of his career with Guangxi Tianyuan Company.
In 1997, Zou Shengkun transferred to the company's marketing position. Relying on his diligence and studiousness, he learned Xi product knowledge little by little, traveled all over the mountains and rivers, tried his best to develop and train customers, and grew from the annual sales of hundreds of thousands of yuan when he first took up his post to the company's marketing champion, and he was responsible for the annual sales of 40 million yuan in the region during the peak period.
In the 27 years of working in the company's marketing position, Zou Shengkun has promoted and sold nearly 500 million yuan of products, served tens of millions of acres of crops, and won the company's honors and awards every year.
He has donated money and materials many times to contribute to the development of his hometown
While making a great breakthrough in his career, Zou Shengkun has never forgotten the villagers in his hometown and always tried his best to support the development of his hometown.
Once, when Zou Shengkun returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he saw that some young people in the village were idle at home and could not find suitable jobs. It happened that there were some vacancies in Guangxi Tianyuan Company, so he introduced several young people to work in the company and helped guide them to grow. Now these young people have performed well and have become the backbone of the enterprise.
In the past, the roads in Huyang New Village were potholed dirt roads, with water everywhere on rainy days and dusty on sunny days, which brought many inconveniences to the villagers.
In order to solve the problem of difficult travel, in 2014, the Huyang Village Committee carried out hardening construction of the roads in the village through "one matter, one discussion" and villager fund-raising. Due to the large amount of road work and the capital investment exceeded expectations, some roads could not be leveled and hardened.
After learning of this situation, Zou Shengkun donated 60,000 yuan to the Huyang Village Committee as a road repair fund, and advocated that young people who work outside to start a business contribute money and efforts to the construction of their hometown.
In order to solve the problem that villagers do not have a place to carry out activities during the festival, in early 2015, the Huyang Village Committee decided to build a village-level cultural square. Zou Shengkun donated another 2,000 yuan.
In July 2015, Zou Shengkun returned to his hometown to participate in the party member meeting of the Huyang Village Committee. When he saw that the office space of the village committee was simple and the office facilities were not complete, he donated 2 desks and chairs, 2 electric fans, and 1 set of sofas to the village committee again.
In daily life, Zou Shengkun never hesitates to lend a helping hand to those around him who are in difficulty. Every time I talked about him, my neighbors and colleagues gave him a thumbs up.
In March 2016, Zou Shengkun was awarded the "Good People Around You" in the first "Good People Around You" selection activity in Pingle County organized by the Pingle County Civilization Committee.
Donate deceased organs after death to prolong life
On November 17 this year, Zou Shengkun had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and after all efforts by the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College, he was confirmed brain dead on the 23rd, and his life was forever fixed at the age of 53. In addition to their grief, the family members submitted their wishes to the Municipal Red Cross Society to donate their organs.
Zou Shengkun's wife, Chen Maoxian, said: "My husband is a very good person, and our family helped him make the decision to donate his organs, so that he could make his last contribution to society, which must also be his expectation." ”
On November 23, witnessed by the coordinator of human organ donation, Chen Maoxian and other family members solemnly signed the confirmation registration form for human organ donation.
On the 24th, the donation ceremony was held in the operating room of the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College. After a moment of silence, doctors eventually removed one of his livers, a kidney, and a pair of corneas, and quickly took them to the four patients. Among them, the kidney was donated to a critically ill patient in Nanning, and the liver was donated to a critically ill patient in Shanghai. Both organ transplants went smoothly and saved two lives. A pair of corneas helped two patients in Guangzhou regain their sight.
On November 26, Zou Shengkun's memorial service was held at the Pingle County Funeral Home. Li Weiguo, chairman of Guangxi Tianyuan Company, said: "Comrade Zou Shengkun is kind to others, helpful, and full of family and country feelings. Although he has left us, his spirit and character of diligence, optimism, studiousness, enterprising, and first-class performance will always be engraved in the hearts of pastoral people!”
After the memorial service, Chen Maoxian said to his two sons: "Your father is a good man, he always thinks about others. Even at the end of his life, he is willing to help others, and he is a role model and example for you. ”
Human organ donation embodies the spirit of dedication, is a noble cause to show the brilliance of human nature and convey the great love of the world, and is an important embodiment of social civilization and progress. Zou Shengkun is the 43rd volunteer in our city to donate human organs after death this year. Since 2011, Guangxi launched organ donation, up to now, a total of 497 people in the city have donated human organs without compensation after death. Tang Xiaorong, secretary of the party group and full-time vice president of the Municipal Red Cross Society, said that relevant data show that more than 1 million patients with end-stage organ failure in China need transplantation to save their lives every year, and the supply-demand ratio of organs is a very important constraint. It is hoped that the general public will pay attention to organ donation, understand the knowledge of organ donation, and pay attention to the WeChat of the Municipal Red Cross Society*** through the "I want to participate - deceased organ donation registration" to actively join the human organ donation volunteer team, and at the end of the life journey, donate the precious "gift of life" to those in need, so that the value of life can be sublimated.
