Wait to ask the peasant woman: Is Stalin coming?
Lao Qin published an article a few days ago, titled "In 1952, ** asked Xu Shiyou, commander of the Shandong Military Region: How did the name Jinan come about?" 》。
This article tells the story of a field trip to the Yellow River from the end of October to the beginning of November 1952 in order to harness the Yellow River. During the inspection, ** stood at the Luokou Dam and asked about the overall situation of the Yellow River in Shandong, but there was no water conservancy expert among the leaders and entourage at that time, so they could not answer this question.
However, he did not give up, he recognized the importance of the Yellow River to the Chinese nation, and decided to seek water conservancy experts to help control the Yellow River. He said earnestly: "The Yellow River is the mother river of our Chinese nation and has given birth to a great Chinese culture.
If we don't put it in order, it will become a harmful river that will destroy the lives and property of countless people. We have to take care of it, or I won't have peace of mind. ”
In the early morning of October 30, the ** special train entered the fork of Lanfeng Station, which belongs to the Yellow Flood Area, is remote and somewhat desolate. **After a sleepless night, when the train stopped, he put on a trench coat and walked off.
The entourage also coughed in the cold morning of early winter, talked loudly, and got off the bus one after another. **During the inspection at the last stop in Xuzhou, Director Wang Shiying had notified Henan leaders and water conservancy experts to wait at Lanfeng Station.
Therefore, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw from a distance Wu Zhipu, chairman of Henan Province, Zhang Xi, secretary of the provincial party committee, Chen Zaidao, commander of the military region, and Wang Huayun, director of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee.
About Wu Zhipu, Lao Qin asked Wei Zhaoming, secretary of Nanyang, in "In 1958, ** asked Wei Zhaoming, secretary of Nanyang: Tell me, why did Zhuge Liang settle in Nanyang? He was mentioned in the article.
At that time, ** asked Wei Zhaoming, secretary of the Nanyang County Party Committee, a question: "Why did Zhuge Liang choose to settle in Nanyang?" Wei Zhaoming was at a loss, and it was Wu Zhipu, then secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, who helped him out of the siege.
Chen Zaidao is a die-hard fan of ***, Lao Qin said in the article "In the spring of 1956, **to ***: From the general to the major, you will cross the Yangtze River with me next year" said that in early June 1956, ** will go to Wuhan for inspection, and propose to swim in the water and cross the Yangtze River.
The Minister of Public Security is worried about the safety of *** and has done everything possible to block it. Chen Zaidao was the deputy director of the Armed Forces Supervision Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the commander of the Wuhan Military Region, and the commander of the Hubei Provincial Military Region.
He volunteered to swim in the Yangtze River a few days in advance, saying that he was testing the water for ***", but choked on several mouthfuls of water and made a joke. Zhang Xi is a native of Dongtian Village, Pingxiang County, Hebei Province, born in 1912, participated in the revolution in 1931, mainly responsible for propaganda work, sat in the prison of the Kuomintang, and served as the secretary general of the Communist Party of China's ** Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Branch during the Anti-Japanese War.
Here we focus on Wang Huayun. Wang Huayun was born in 1908 in Guantao County, Handan City, Hebei Province, graduated from Peking University in 1935, participated in the revolution in 1938, and served as Vice Minister of Water Resources and Director of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee after the founding of New China.
**When I first met Wang Huayun, I smiled after hearing his name, and he said to Wang Huayun seriously: "Your name is very good, when it rains, the rain will turn into clouds and clear up; During times of drought, water vapor turns into clouds and rains.
With you, we in China will have smooth weather all year round, and the people's life will be carefree. * made everyone present laugh. After that, ** and others took the car that Zhang Xi had already prepared and galloped towards the section of the East Batou embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Dongbatou is the copper tile box introduced to Xu Shiyou in Jinan before, and this place was diverted at the mouth of the Yellow River in the fifth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty. In Dongbatou, he asked Wang Huayun for a lot of professional knowledge about river management, including the diversion of the Yellow River, the construction of the dam, and the diversion of the river.
He pointed to the head of the east dam and asked Wang Huayun, "How many dikes and stone dams have been built here?" Wang Huayun replied without hesitation: "The whole river has built 1,800 kilometers of embankments and nearly 5,000 dams. ”
** also asked Wang Huayun a challenging historical question: "In the fifth year of Xianfeng, in order to deal with the Taiping army, did the Qing ** break at the East Batou or the West Batou?" ”
Wang Huayun calmly replied: "Dongbatou." *nodded in satisfaction.
Somewhat thirsty, he hopes to beg for a bowl of water at a nearby farmhouse. Under the leadership of Wang Huayun, their group walked up a hillside along a small ravine. The top of the dirt slope is a flat land, and sure enough, there are a few farmhouses.
However, the farmhouses were quiet, and no one came out to walk around. ** and Yang Shangkun walked in the front, looking for water sources room by room. In a room with an open door on the west side, a peasant woman in her 60s was peeling corn kernels from a wicker basket with corn on the cob.
The light was dim and the room was dimly lit. I took the water from the peasant woman, thanked her and left.
An old man warmly greeted Wang Huayun, who was walking in front, and asked why he was leaving? Come home and sit down! The old man is Aunt Xing's wife. Wang Huayun told him that he just came out of your house, and the eldest lady said that you went to the market and came back so early?
The old man recognized *** when Wang Huayun spoke, and couldn't help but exclaim: "*This is not ***, go and sit at home." ”
Smile and shake hands with him, and say politely: "It's already sitting, we're leaving." At this time, Aunt Xing in the house on the hillside heard the voice of the old man, walked on her little feet, hurried to the edge of the dirt slope, and kept waving to ***, saying: "*yes, you are ***!" ”
Turning around and smiling at her, he raised his right hand and waved it lightly a few times to greet her. She stared intently at *** and asked loudly: "*Ah, you didn't bring Stalin today?" ”
** Others couldn't help laughing, and they were all asked and laughed by her. Aunt Xing was illiterate, but when she saw that *** and the portrait and Stalin's portrait often appeared together, she thought that *** and Stalin were often together.
** Laughing so hard that his stomach hurts, he pinched his waist and said, "Hey, this old lady is really internationalist!" On this day, through formal contact with Wang Huayun, I quickly recognized that Wang Huayun was a hard-working cadre.
Wang Huayun then devoted himself to the governance of the Yellow River for decades in the leading body of the Yellow River, and became the most important figure in the history of the people's governance of the Yellow River, and was known as the "successor of Dayu".
