In May 1949, he devoted himself to the ten-mile ocean field and became the mayor of Shanghai with a brave and fearless warrior attitude. In the face of the nuisance of the Kuomintang army's stragglers, the sabotage of the spies, and the bandits and thieves left over from the old Shanghai, he relied on his excellent level of policy theory and his work attitude of forgetting sleep and food, so that Shanghai gradually restored order and moved toward prosperity and stability.
*While patrolling the road with the guards, it was close to meal time when they spotted a noodle restaurant and decided to go in and try it. After the two ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, the waiter shouted loudly in the back kitchen: "Ten, two bowls of Yangchun noodles!" ”
Subsequently, an old farmer also walked into the noodle shop and asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and the waiter also shouted: "Eleven, a bowl of Yangchun noodles." This makes ** very puzzled, how can you eat noodles and have a code?
However, when he saw the old farmer's Yangchun noodles on the table, he understood the meaning behind the code, and he immediately slapped the table and angrily reprimanded: "Call your boss to me!" So, what the hell is going on?
What do the "ten" and "eleven" mean in the waiter's mouth? Why are you so angry when you see an old farmer?
*Renovation of Shanghai On May 10, 1949, a meeting was held in a large warehouse in Danyang County, Jiangsu. He said: "We must protect the city of Shanghai with our hearts, and we must not use artillery bombardment and explosions.
After the occupation of the city, everyone must abide by the policy of 'not entering people's houses', which is also a welcome gift from our People's Liberation Army to the people of Shanghai. If the greeting is not done, we will be kicked out.
Remember, although we are a field army, we can't be 'wild' anymore when we get to the city! Discipline must be strict! Although many cadres disagree with this, ** still adheres to the policy of "not entering people's houses".
When he reported this policy to **, ** sent a telegram with four big words on it: "Good! Very good! Very good! Very good! On May 23, with the order of **, the PLA soldiers launched a general attack on the whole front of Shanghai and carried out a surprise attack on the urban area.
On May 27, Shanghai was officially liberated, and the 15-day Battle of Shanghai came to an end. It is worth mentioning that after the battle, the city of Shanghai was intact, there was never a shortage of electricity and running water, and the factory school was well preserved.
And the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army also remembered the words of the commander-in-chief ** - do not enter civilian houses. That morning, when the citizens of Shanghai opened their homes, they found that the ground on both sides of the road was full of PLA soldiers ...... holding guns
Although Shanghai has been liberated, there are still many problems in the city, such as Kuomintang spies, thieves, prostitutes, and so on. According to the Public Security Bureau, in the first 20 days of the takeover of Shanghai, there were more than 50 major robberies and more than 500 arrests of bandits.
In addition, there are cases of grand theft, arson, cases of impersonating the People's Liberation Army, etc. Shanghai's shantytowns stand out, with no roads, only muddy paths, the narrowest of which must be crossed sideways.
There are no street lights or sewers, just dead rats, rotten vegetable leaves and other garbage. There are a total of 322 shantytowns, plus tens of thousands of scattered shantytowns, which is equivalent to one in six Shanghainese living in this environment.
Faced with this situation, it was decided to take action. He decided to start with ** Rong first, and basically eliminated the dark forces entrenched in Shanghai within two years. ** It was also decided to carry out a major renovation of the Qinglou women, closing the dance hall and massage parlor, but it was difficult for the Qinglou women to prohibit it.
* Agreed to the Public Security Bureau's plan and sent plainclothes police to the streets to "fish" and send the caught Qinglou women to women's correctional facilities. Over the course of a few days, the women's correctional center had taken in nearly 4,000 Qinglou women.
*In this regard, no matter how much it costs, do your best** Qinglou woman's illness, because it is an expense that cannot be saved.
* He once said: "We have three arrangements for them: first, we will cure them; Secondly, if they are willing to work, we will help them find suitable jobs, and if they are not willing to work, we will give them the money to go home; Finally, we will pay attention to their marital status to ensure that they are well cared for. ”
In just one or two years, the women in the green houses on the streets of Shanghai disappeared. ** A series of actions in Shanghai made Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, admire. Once, ** was eating at a noodle restaurant and was furious when he saw an old farmer, and he asked the noodle shop owner to come over.
With the reform and rectification of the first place, Shanghai is gradually moving towards prosperity and prosperity. One day, ** and the guards patrolled the streets, and he was very satisfied when he saw people living and working in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on their faces.
Time flies, and it's time for lunch. The guard reminded ** and said, "Mayor Chen, it's lunch time now, let's go eat something." ”
* Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, people are iron, rice is steel, and you can only continue to work when you have enough food." He saw a noodle shop next door and decided to go there and eat noodles.
When the two sat down, the waiter saw that they were neatly dressed and looked like people with status, so he immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Two distinguished guests, what do you want?" ”
* smiled and said, "Let's have two bowls of Yangchun noodles, remember to put more chili peppers." The waiter smiled and said, "No problem, you two wait a minute, the noodles will be fine immediately." Then he shouted at the back kitchen: "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles, put more chili peppers!" ”
* After hearing this, he smiled and said to the guard: "This small noodle restaurant has its own code!" The guard smiled and nodded. Soon after, two bowls of fragrant Yangchun noodles came up, and ** and the guards each picked up a pair of chopsticks and feasted on them.
After eating the noodles, ** said to the guard: "The taste of this house is really good, it seems that there is a reason for such customers." The guard nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the taste of this house is very authentic, and the noodles are very nutritious with vegetables and eggs." ”
While the two were chatting energetically, an old farmer in shabby clothes walked in, looking a little nervous, and holding the hem of his clothes tightly. Seeing that there was a vacant seat on the opposite side, he sat down with a smile and politely greeted ** and the guard.
The waiter walked up to the old farmer slowly, looked him up and down, and asked him what he wanted to eat. The old farmer was a little embarrassed to ask for a bowl of Yangchun noodles and some chili peppers. The waiter pursed his lips and shouted to the back kitchen, "A bowl of Yangchun noodles." ”
The old farmer saw that the waiter didn't say anything to add more chili peppers, so he asked to add them again. The waiter said with some impatience: "Do you know how expensive chili peppers are?" The old farmer did not speak again.
This scene was seen by **, and he said to the guard: "The two faces of that waiter shocked me. What do 'ten' and 'eleven' mean? The guard shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
However, when the old farmer's Yangchun noodles were served, they understood. This bowl of noodles is very small, there are only one or two green vegetables, and the most outrageous thing is that there are not even eggs.
* Suppressed his anger and called the waiter: "Comrade, I want to ask you, what do you mean by 'ten' and 'eleven' just now?" Is it a code between you? ”
The waiter enthusiastically revealed a secret: "This is the code between me and the back kitchen, using numbers to represent different guest identities." '10' represents the peasants, and '11' represents the cadres.
We will determine who the guests are based on what they are and then tell the back kitchen so that the back kitchen can know what to do. * Angry, he slapped the table and scolded, "Call me your boss!"
Shanghai has been liberated, it is no longer the old society, and now it advocates equality for all, but you are here to treat me differently! Go and call your boss out! ”
The waiter was reprimanded, and said a little unconvinced: "You can eat your food well, don't be nosy!" The guard whispered angrily, "Do you know who you're talking to?"
This is our mayor, **When the waiter heard this, he was instantly stunned in place, and after reacting, he hurriedly called the boss out. After the noodle shop owner came over, ** said: "Now is a new society, new China has been established, and we can no longer follow the old ways of the past."
No matter who comes to your noodle shop for dinner, he is your guest, and you can't treat them differently, and you can't divide people into ......In the face of **'s criticism, the noodle shop owner nodded and agreed, while wiping the sweat on his head.
* Holding the old farmer's hand, he said with emotion: "Big brother, I see your efforts and contributions. As the mayor of Shanghai in the Communist Party, I hope to bring more benefits to the people of Shanghai. ”
The old farmer smiled and said, "I am proud to have a mayor like you in Shanghai. He is the mayor of Shanghai under the leadership of the Communist Party, and he has always adhered to the family style of diligence and thrift.
During his tenure as mayor, he led by example and took the lead in eating in the canteen of the agency, setting an example for leaders at all levels. His children wore old clothes, the older ones wore them, the younger ones wore them, and even his wife, Zhang Qian, wore shirts and socks with patches.
When Zhang Qian was sick and hospitalized, the medical staff did not expect that this would be the mayor's wife. In 1950, **'s sister Chen Chongkun took over the responsibility of taking care of the family from her parents.
However, when she arrived in Shanghai, she found that her brother had always adhered to the concept of self-reliance and hoped that she could live independently. Say to her: "It's a new society, you have to learn to be self-reliant, not a parasite." ”
Chen Chongkun asked his brother that he could help him go to college, but he rejected him and encouraged him to take the exam by his own efforts. When Chen Chongkun's family encountered difficulties in housing, ** suggested that they report to the organization, and said that in the difficult times of the country, they should share the country's worries.
* He is also very frugal, and his family life has always been very simple. ** spent his whole life serving the people, and his actions exemplified the discipline and responsibility of the Communists.
* In order to facilitate work, he took the initiative to move to the ear room of the *** office, even if the staff around him suggested that he use the spacious *** office, he was unmoved.
*I believe that although this house is small, it is more convenient to ask the Prime Minister for work face-to-face, so I insisted on not moving it. In addition, ** also strictly disciplined, refused to accept new office equipment from the staff, and firmly believed that as a member of the Communist Party, he could not waste the state's money for personal needs.
