He used to be a weaver, listening to public opinion on the street and sending cars to the citizens
In 1949, the national anthem was played in Tiananmen Square, turning a new page in China's history. Different from the previous changes of dynasties, the founding of New China was an unprecedented great feat.
Since then, the Chinese people have truly become masters of their own affairs and can control their own destiny. This good news spread everywhere, and the whole country was full of vitality and hope, and people were full of expectations for the coming new era.
Among this group of people, the one who feels the changes of the times the most profoundly is undoubtedly Shen Daren.
Shen Daren was born in August 1928 in a family of Chinese language teachers. At that time, China was in a period of warlord warfare and the people were in dire straits, and Chiang Kai-shek had already seized power in the Kuomintang.
In this era shrouded in the White Terror, no one escapes its effects. However, Shen Daren was not knocked down by the hardships of this era, he gradually grew from an ordinary worker to a Communist Party member, always insisted on listening to the people's opinions, and fought endlessly for the happiness and freedom of the people.
Born in a scholarly family, although not rich and noble, Shen Daren's family still upholds the dignity of knowledge. However, in that turbulent era, scholars were often marginalized, and Shen Daren's family also faced the dilemma of food shortages from time to time.
However, Shen Dingjun has always insisted that no matter how difficult life is, he has never neglected to invest in his children's education. ”
Under his tutelage, Shen Shengshi, the eldest brother of Shen Daren, developed beautiful calligraphy and outstanding writing skills. As an adult, Shen Shengshi was hired as an editor by a newspaper in Shanghai with his outstanding talent, which greatly eased the financial pressure on his family.
Despite having a stable job, he still stayed true to his original intention.
Shen Shengshi's article depicts in depth the social landscape of that era and the plight of the people at the bottom. After his masterpiece "The Falling Peanut Boat" was published in 1936, it was widely praised and is still out of print.
However, fate was merciless, and Shen Shengshi's death at the age of 30 due to illness became a major loss to the Chinese literary world.
The sudden death of the eldest brother brought a huge blow to Shen Daren's family, and since then, the life of the whole family has become more difficult. In order to support his family's livelihood, Shen had to leave his hometown as a teenager to work in a small factory in Shanghai.
At that time, his working environment was harsh, his work intensity was high, there were no days off, he had to work more than ten hours a day, and his income was meager.
Shen Daren, a man who was bullied during his apprenticeship, never gave up his pursuit of knowledge. In a difficult environment, with high professionalism and strong learning ability, he quickly grew into an excellent worker and contributed his strength to his family.
In 1949, when New China was born, Shen Daren, who was only 21 years old, did not deeply understand the meaning of "liberation" and "revolution", but the frequent strikes in the factory made him have some impression of the word.
It wasn't until the founding of the People's Republic of China that he really felt that shocking power for the first time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shen Daren's private textile factory was transformed by socialism, and he was reassigned to work in the state-owned Changzhou Xinyi Textile Factory.
Shen Daren found that compared with private enterprises, the working environment of state-owned enterprises is more superior, and workers no longer worry about work. The eight-hour workday, as well as holidays and holidays, has reduced working hours but increased productivity.
For the first time, Shen Daren experienced the work mood full of confidence and hope. For this hard-won new life, he cherished it and worked harder, not missing any opportunity to learn.
In September 1954, Shen Daren was 26 years old, and with great excitement, he officially swore in as an honorable Communist Party member.
Shen Daren, a "civilian secretary" from a cultural family, gave full play to his knowledge after the founding of New China. He has worked in state-owned enterprises for more than 20 years, and with his outstanding contribution to factory construction, he has been promoted to deputy director of the workshop, director of the office, and finally deputy factory director.
His path to power, from Jiangnan to Mobei, has always been guided by perseverance and profound cultural heritage.
In that era dominated by light industry, although Xinyi Textile Factory was not a large enterprise, Shen Daren's outstanding economic construction talent made it achieve remarkable results.
In the 80s of the last century, Shen Daren was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Changzhou Municipal Party Committee and mayor by virtue of his outstanding economic performance, responsible for the city's economic construction. Although he has become the second-in-command of the city, he still maintains a low-key attitude to life in his daily life.
He left his house early every day and walked straight to the city, greeting the citizens warmly along the way, as if he were just an ordinary staff member and not the mayor. If a citizen wants to find a city, he doesn't need to enter the building, and he can talk to him directly on the road.
Once, a citizen stopped him and complained about the price of food. He did not hesitate to say that he would definitely give a satisfactory answer to the citizens.
It turned out that it didn't take long for the Changzhou "Vegetable Office" to come into being, and the Changzhou "Vegetable Basket Project" kicked off. Although Shen Daren enjoys the treatment of a special car, he rarely uses it himself.
One year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Daren took a train back to Changzhou from other places and happened to meet the writer Gao Xiaosheng. Although the two had never met, they had a good conversation on the train.
Gao Xiaosheng's trip to Changzhou was unexpectedly warmly received by Shen Daren. When Shen Daren learned that Gao Xiaosheng needed to take the bus, he did not hesitate to say that he would send him.
Although cars were still very rare at that time, Shen Daren still insisted on driving Gao Xiaosheng in person. This move moved Gao Xiaosheng very much, and also gave him a deeper understanding of Shen Daren's personality charm.
Shen Daren sent Gao Xiaosheng to the car and told the driver to send him home safely, but he returned home with his suitcase. This scene made Gao Xiaosheng dumbfounded, and it wasn't until he got into the car that he curiously asked the driver about the identity of the person.
The driver replied: "He is our municipal party committee secretary Shen." This experience made Gao Xiaosheng unforgettable for a long time, and even wrote an article about this incident and submitted it to the newspaper, which became a good story for a while.
Shen Daren pays attention to people's livelihood and emphasizes economic development, and under his leadership, Changzhou's economy has achieved a leap. Therefore, the state gave him greater responsibilities in the days to come.
In 1986, Shen Daren was appointed party secretary of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. This year, Shen Daren was only 59 years old, and he had spent most of his career in the south, and this was the first time he had traveled to such a distant northwest region.
Before going to Ningxia to take up his post, ** had a conversation with Shen Daren, who was given a special mission. The purpose of his visit was to apply his experience in economic construction to the development of Ningxia and to help it achieve prosperity and strength.
Although the reform and opening up at that time had achieved certain results, the imbalance in regional development was still very prominent, so it was hoped that Ningxia would promote its economic development by driving it.
In the face of the assignment of the first person, Shen Daren did not hesitate to say that he would do a career wholeheartedly in Ningxia, which reflected his decisiveness and firm determination in just one sentence.
Shen Daren left a deep impression on the cadres in Ningxia with his simple style. He came to Ningxia without any entourage, just a secretary, two train tickets and a briefcase.
The local cadres were very surprised to see such a simple appearance of this ministerial-level cadre. However, this is exactly the consistent style of Shen Daren, who always cuts straight to the subject without any fancy rituals.
Shen Daren has adhered to Ningxia for three years, taking research as the pen and the grassroots as the paper, drawing a blueprint for local development. In the face of the weak industrial and general agricultural conditions, he did not give up, but insisted that the development of Ningxia must start with the improvement of transportation.
Under his auspices, a number of engineering projects such as the Helan Mountain Highway and the Shizuishan Yellow River Highway Bridge came into being.
Shen Daren's process of going to Ningxia was not all smooth sailing, but full of challenges and difficulties. In 1987, the second year after he took office, Ningxia suffered a rare drought, which was already scarce and rainfall, and the province lost almost all of its grain for a year.
At the moment of crisis when Ningxia's economy was facing collapse, Shen Daren did not panic. On the one hand, he quickly organized the first department to assist the people, and on the other hand, he actively conducted research and investigation and prepared to build water conservancy facilities.
Shen Daren's firm decision-making and efficient execution have injected new vitality into Ningxia's economic recovery.
Under the calm and calm guidance of Shen Daren, millions of farmers in Ningxia finally managed to survive the drought. Although Shen Daren only stayed in Ningxia for a short period of three years, during these three years, Ningxia's industry has made remarkable progress.
The Ningxia Chemical Plant, the Qingtongxia Dam Power Plant and the Aluminum Plant, led by Shen Daren, all successfully entered the top 500 in the country in 1989, laying a solid foundation for Ningxia's prosperity.
Despite the age of sixtieth, Shen Daren still cares about his hometown and dedicates his life to the country. After returning to Jiangsu to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he worked day and night to maintain the enthusiasm of his youth.
Although Jiangsu Province is a wealthy province, Shen Daren is strict with himself and firmly believes that the rich province should play a leading role.
Although he is now in a key position, he still insists on doing it himself. He is committed to the development of the market economy, the introduction of foreign technology, and the planning of the construction of development zones, as if he is never tireless.
His success lies not only in economic construction, but also in his remarkable characteristic, that is, he is strict with himself. In his career, he has never received any gifts, past and present, and can even be said to be harsh self-discipline.
Shen Daren and his entourage went to a city to investigate in the cold winter, and the local city ** took into account their long distance and provided several sets of down jackets intimately. In order to show respect and courtesy, the leaders of the city ** decided to put the down jacket into the trunk of Shen Daren, so that he could keep warm on the road.
This kind of meticulous care makes the research team feel warm and grateful.
Shen Daren refused the down jacket provided by the driver and insisted that the driver return the same way to return the clothes, which left a deep impression on his subordinates and secretary. Even after many years, Shen Daren's secretary Zhang Jianhua still remembers this incident vividly.
In 2004, Shen Daren officially bid farewell to the workplace and enjoyed retirement. Despite his poor physical condition, Shen Daren is still concerned about the prosperity and development of the country. However, fate is ruthless, on August 2, 2017, Shen Daren only celebrated his 90th birthday.
That year, due to the ineffectiveness of rescue due to illness, Shen Daren unfortunately passed away.
After learning the news of Shen Daren's death, countless people couldn't help but burst into tears. The farewell ceremony for Mr. Shen's body was held at the Nanjing funeral home on August 6 of that year, and his body was surrounded by flowers and cypresses, and the party flag on his body was bright and dazzling.
On the day of Mr. Shen's death, many national leaders sent messages of condolence to express their condolences.
Shen Daren, a loyal revolutionary fighter, has unswervingly pursued the cause of the motherland and communism with more than 60 years of struggle. His great achievements, like endless treasures, have inherited the precious revolutionary spirit and illuminated our way forward.
Although he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on and inspires us to keep going.
