When it comes to the founding of New China, we have to mention that his dedication has laid a solid foundation for New China. Under his influence, many members of the Mao family embarked on the road of saving the country and the people without hesitation, and they paid many precious lives for the birth of New China.
However, their will was inherited by more Mao family members, who fought for the construction of New China all their lives. Among them, Mao Yuanyao is a prominent representative. Since he was a child, he followed in the footsteps of the revolution and gradually became an excellent proletarian revolutionary.
He always kept in mind the teachings of *** and regarded *** as his idol throughout his life. In the end, he followed the example of *** and regarded the construction of New China as the highest mission of his life.
So, what contributions did Mao Yuanyao make to New China? How did he get influenced?
Behind the peaceful liberation of Hengyang City, Mao Yuanyao made great contributions: Mao Yuanyao, as the parent official of Hengyang City, Hunan Province, made great contributions to New China.
In October 1949, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) won a phased victory in the Battle of Hengbao, and the Gui troops were forced to retreat. Mao Yuanyao received an order from his superiors to go to Hengyang and serve as secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor.
He always put the people in his heart and served tens of thousands of people in Hengyang. Under his leadership, the city of Hengyang began to prosper.
On June 23, 1944, the Battle of Hengyang lasted 47 days. Although the defenders put up desperate resistance under the leadership of General Fang Xianjue and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, Hengyang suffered a devastating blow and was devastated.
The entire city was almost razed to the ground, not a single intact house was left, and industrial facilities were completely destroyed. Although it took five years to recover, it still could not return to pre-war levels, and many houses still showed signs of being bombarded by Japanese artillery.
Mao Yuanyao recalled that as far as the eye could see, almost all of them were dilapidated houses, and people were poorly clothed and could not even fill their stomachs.
Hengyang was completely cut off from the outside world, and there was not even a road to the outside of the city. Supplies were brought into the city by small boats by waterway. The office conditions of the county ** are also very simple, and Mao Yuanyao and others can only rest on the wet and cold ground.
Although facing many difficulties, Mao Yuanyao was not defeated. In his eyes, as long as people live, everything has the possibility to start again. The post-war reconstruction work was arduous, but Mao Yuanyao soon had a coping strategy: build roads, transport food, and solve the most basic survival problems of the common people first.
Under Mao Yuanyao's organization, although the people of Hengyang were not very enthusiastic about building roads at first, they heard that they could get food as a reward for participating in road construction, and people's enthusiasm was fully aroused.
As soon as the news spread, more and more people participated in the road construction work, and the number even reached tens of thousands at the peak. In just a few weeks, a path to the outside world was cleared.
The hundreds of thousands of catties of grain raised by the provincial leaders were also delivered to the people as promised, solving their difficulties in life. However, the recovery of industry is another major challenge.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all localities were in ruins, and a large amount of funds were needed to carry out reconstruction work. The state has limited revenue, and the province has no additional funds to subsidize Hengyang.
Under such circumstances, after careful consideration, Mao Yuanyao decided to once again adopt the "cash-for-work" method when building roads to encourage people to participate voluntarily. Everyone has been assigned tasks, and ** cadres such as Mao Yuanyao are the first to take the lead and play a good role model.
In Hengyang City, you can see the hard work of the people every day, wielding hoes and picking up loads of dirt ......Although everyone's sweat is raining down, you can read in their eyes a firm belief in a better future.
With the joint efforts of the people of Hengyang, the railway was repaired in only one month. And the leaders of the province have not forgotten the expectations of the people of Hengyang, and one machine after another has been transported to the provincial capital by railway.
Factories, such as machinery factories, power plants, textile factories, etc., have sprung up in Hengyang. In less than a year, Hengyang's industrial production has shown a vigorous development momentum and is full of vitality.
At the same time, the construction of these factories also created a large number of jobs, improved the living standards of the people of Hengyang, and brought its industrial strength close to the level before 1944.
In addition, the people of Hengyang also actively responded to the call of the province and selflessly supported batches of materials to surrounding sister cities.
In 1950, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, the people of Hengyang actively responded to the call of the country and devoted themselves to the production of front-line materials, providing a steady stream of support for the soldiers.
During this period, Mao Yuanyao also paid great attention to the education of children. There are more than 20 middle schools and more than 80 primary schools in the city, and he fully integrates educational resources and reasonably allocates teachers, so that each school can be equipped with experienced teachers.
As a result, most of the children have been given the opportunity to receive an education, except in remote areas, and the school is filled with a happy learning atmosphere every day.
Mao Yuanyao is actively solving the unstable factors in Hengyang City. In the early days of liberation, there were still a large number of remnants of the Kuomintang around Hengyang City, about 10,000 people, and there were hundreds of spies hidden in the city.
In order to solve this problem, Mao Yuanyao first decided to set up a containment group and transfer troops from the garrison headquarters. For those who are physically strong and willing to surrender, they will be given ideological education and training, and will be transferred to the army after passing the qualifications; For those who are old and infirm, they are resettled or given travel expenses to return to their hometowns; Finally, for those who are recalcitrant, or eliminated or arrested.
For the spies lurking in the city, the public security bureau arrested them one by one based on the reports of the people.
Mao Yuanyao knows that only by building infrastructure well can the city develop better. He decided to build a Jiefang Road through the city, and he expanded it according to the design indicators given by the province, so that the road was 32 meters wide, 6 meters wider than the original design.
Although this will greatly increase the cost of building the road, he firmly believes that it will be worth it. In order to raise funds, he appealed to the people of the city to contribute money and strength, and he himself donated all his savings.
After a year of hard work, the first phase of the 800-meter-long and 32-meter-wide Jiefang Road project was finally completed, laying a solid foundation for the development of Hengyang.
In the years to come, every time the residents of Hengyang walk on the spacious avenue, they will naturally express their praise for Mao Yuanyao's far-reaching vision. Mao Yuanyao's work in Hengyang was not long, only three years and eight months, but what he did can be said to have saved thousands of people in Hengyang.
Because, he devoted almost all his energy to the well-being of the citizens and the development of the city. Mao Yuanyao has said many times: "I must let the people of Hengyang live a happy life!" ”
In fact, he did. From this point of view, he did keep the earnest teachings of *** in mind and remember them forever.
Mao Yuanyao's life was profoundly affected, and the latter became his communist guide. On October 18, 1912, Mao Yuanyao was born in Chongcuijiatang, Shaoshan, Xiangtan County, his grandfather Mao Fusheng was the cousin of his father Mao Shunsheng, and Mao Yuanyao was the cousin of ***.
In 1925, ** and his wife Yang Kaihui returned to Shaoshan to carry out agricultural ** movement, Mao Yuanyao first saw *** Although he only studied for 6 years, Mao Yuanyao was very early and wise, when he heard that *** opened a peasant night school in Mao's ancestral hall, he once again showed a studious spirit.
In class, ** explained the real world to everyone in easy-to-understand words: all things are created by the hands of working people, but why are working people living a hard life, but those who do not participate in labor always live a worry-free life?
How can such a world be called fair? These words deeply touched the hearts of the working people, and then he analyzed in detail the reasons for the suffering of the working people.
In closing, he firmly stated: "We must change this unfair society!" The words of * profoundly changed the concept of the people of Shaoshan and sowed the seeds of revolution in their hearts.
This ideology had a profound impact on Mao Yuanyao, who began to look forward to a fair social system and developed a deep yearning for communism.
In 1927, ** returned to Shaoshan. In Mao's ancestral hall, he painted a bright future: "When the revolution is victorious, the people of all China will own their own land, truly become the masters of their own country, and even drive a car ...... in the future."Mao Yuanyao was deeply attracted by this beautiful prospect, and he firmly believed that day would come!
However, the victory of the revolution will not be achieved overnight, and it will require us to accumulate victories and defeat the enemy step by step. At this time, Mao Yuanyao silently vowed: No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will firmly follow the road of communism!
Since then, Mao Yuanyao was full of emotion when he saw *** again ten years later.
In 1937, Mao Yuanyao was fortunate to be selected to study in Yan'an because of his outstanding work performance. In that humble cave, he reunited with his cousin who had been absent for ten years, and his heart was full of emotion.
When he learned of Mao Yuanyao's results, ** was sincerely happy for him, but also deeply distressed by his experience. On Mao Yuanyao's growth path, he must have experienced many hardships.
In March 1938, Mao Yuanyao graduated from Kang University and was transferred to work in the secretariat, which also gave him the opportunity to work beside ***. ** He is very important to Mao Yuanyao, as long as he is free, he will call him to his side and teach him carefully.
He often admonished Mao Yuanyao: "We must study conscientiously, work conscientiously, and serve the people wholeheartedly." In addition, ** also specially taught him the principles of how to behave in the world, and taught him to have the spirit of unity and united front when dealing with his comrades-in-arms.
Under the influence of ***, Mao Yuanyao has made remarkable progress in all aspects, especially his understanding of communism has become increasingly deep. His growth was seen by his superiors, so he was entrusted with many important tasks, including the establishment of the Eighth Route Army Printing Office, the head of the Eighth Route Army's Military Industry Section, and the director of the First Arsenal.
In 1945, Mao Yuanyao decided to follow the troops south, and before leaving, he told him cautiously: "If you return to Shaoshan, please tell the villagers that we will definitely achieve the final victory, as long as we are united, we will one day achieve the final victory." I have a hunch that day is not far off. ”
Mao Yuanyao recalled the bloody moment when he joined the revolution more than ten years ago, and after these years of tempering, the "belief in victory" in his heart has been as unswerving as Mount Tai.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Mao Yuanyao decided to take root at the grassroots level and truly solve practical problems for the suffering people and fundamentally solve their difficulties.
In March 1949, Mao Yuanyao went south with the troops, but he still had deep concern for him: "The south is about to be liberated, after you go south, you must keep abreast of the local situation, solve difficulties for the people, unite democrats, and only by winning the trust of the people and their support can you successfully complete the work." ”
Mao Yuanyao felt the painstaking efforts of ***, kept these words in mind, and always adhered to this principle. Since 1957, he has served as the first secretary of the Party Committee (vice minister level) at the Wuhan Institute of Surveying and Cartography, and has been in his post for 30 years.
In 1987, he officially retired, and although he had taken a back seat, he still went to Hengyang and his former residence many times. For him, his wonderful life is only the experience of sharing weal and sorrow with the people in Hengyang, as well as the teachings of the people, which make him unforgettable.
In October 1984, he wrote a poem "Fisherman's Pride, Remembering Hengyang", expressing his deep nostalgia for his hometown: "Nantian is nostalgic for his hometown, and Hengyang returns to the wild goose to stay for a long time."
The past can still be remembered. Welcoming victory, urban and rural transformation is joyful. It is not easy to wait for prosperity and sincerity, and build bridges to pave the wisdom of the people. Economic prosperity has been difficult. Today, I am ashamed of not doing my best. ”
On June 20, 2013, Comrade Mao Yuanyao's life came to an end, and he died in Wuhan, Hubei Province, at the age of 101. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
