Li Dazhao's grandson, Li Hongta, has won high praise from neighbors and colleagues for his thrifty, hard-working attitude and style.
During his career as a leading cadre, he insisted on commuting by bicycle and lived a poor and simple life. However, in 2005, a letter reporting Li Hongta, director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, shocked the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The whistleblower's tone was firm, and the content was shocking. This made the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have to start investigating Li Hongta, does he have "two faces"?
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection quickly organized an investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter. So, what is the truth of the matter? The red family style has been inherited for a hundred years"If the family style is positive, it is the official Qing. "
Family style plays a vital role in creating a good social atmosphere, especially on the family style of leading cadres. Li Dazhao was born in Hebei in 1889 and was raised by his grandfather due to the early death of his parents.
His grandfather was very strict in his education, emphasizing that he should not fight with others and insult each other in his behavior, and cultivated his love for farming and hard work in his life.
Therefore, after Li Dazhao had his own children, he also attached great importance to family education.
With the conviction of saving the country and the people, he spared no effort to promote Marxism and threw himself into the workers' movement. However, his life was terminated in 1927.
As a professor at Peking University and teaching part-time at other universities, Li Dazhao earns at least 250 to 300 yuan a month. However, after his death, people were surprised to find that his inheritance was only a large ocean, and he could not even pay for the funeral.
What is the reason for this? In fact, in those days, his income was already quite good, but he was still thrifty, could not even afford briquettes in the winter, and spent his days in a cold house with his young children.
In addition to being used for the revolutionary cause of the Party, his income was used to support the poor. On one occasion, the president of Peking University even gave 50 yuan of his salary to his wife to ensure that he and his family would not go hungry for their generosity.
Regarding his untimely death, Mr. Lu Xun once sighed: "His last words will live forever." Li Dazhao not only left behind many excellent translations, manuscripts and works, but also left behind a clean and diligent red family style, only by truly leading by example, can children learn from and inherit such a family style.
Among Li Dazhao's descendants, there are heroic sons and daughters who have devoted themselves to the revolutionary cause, as well as selfless devotees who have shone in the field of education. They kept their father's teachings in mind and passed on the revolutionary spirit.
Among them, Li Dazhao's son Li Baohua, under the influence of his father, chose to join the Communist Party and devote himself to the revolutionary cause. He not only made outstanding contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, but also became one of the founders of water conservancy and hydropower in New China, and made outstanding contributions to the control of river floods and the development of water conservancy construction.
Li Baohua and *** went deep into the Anhui reservoir construction site to inspect, and because there was no accommodation, they had to spend the night in a simple shed. The rain kept falling, and the leaking rain in the shed made the environment damp, but they chose to persist in order to understand the situation more deeply.
During his tenure as the first secretary of Anhui, Li Baohua took practical actions, conducted in-depth investigations, and developed agriculture, thereby increasing the output of grain, cotton, and soybean oil, and solving the problems of food, clothing, and housing for the local people.
His approachability and hard work earned him the nickname "Li Qingtian" in the local area.
** I was deeply touched by Li Dazhao's teachings, thinking that he was my real teacher, and often recalled Li Dazhao's speeches to promote Marxism. He is also very concerned about Li Dazhao's descendants, and whenever Li Baohua finishes reporting his work, he will ask with concern: "Who else is in the family?" ”
After learning about Li Baohua's younger siblings, he would always nod his head with reassurance. In 1978, Li Baohua worked at the People's Bank of China, often working late into the night to promote the reform and recovery of the financial industry.
In life, he is very simple, the sofa in the living room sits in a pit, lime walls, cement floors, old furniture and houses. Even after the reform and opening up, the conditions improved and there were many high-rise buildings, but he still lived here and maintained a simple attitude to life.
When the ** department offered to change a new house for him, he smiled and declined: "I'm used to it here, I don't need to change it again." Li Baohua has always adhered to the principle of strict requirements for children.
In 1994, his eldest son, Li Qing, was working in Zhejiang, and he happened to meet his son at a meeting in Hangzhou. When Li **, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, praised Li Qing's work performance, Li Baohua seriously reminded Li ** to be more strict with his son.
Li Baohua was selfless and strictly forbade the private use of public vehicles. Once, his son, Li Qing, came home to visit his father on the weekend, and due to the long distance, he had to ride a bicycle for more than an hour to get there, which was a big challenge for his body.
But Li Baohua never allowed the driver of the unit to pick up Li Qing. In addition, when Li Baohua's daughter, Li Hongta, was in a meeting in Beijing, a colleague offered to ask her father to send a car to pick them up, but Li Hongta firmly refused.
Li Baohua's style of being strict with himself and distinguishing between public and private affairs is worthy of our study and emulation.
Li Hongta's poor family style has been passed down from generation to generation by his parents. Due to his father's busy work and his mother's work in the Party Committee of Changxindian Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory, Li Hongta was sent to a citizen nursery school at the age of 19 and was not taken home by his parents until he was six years old.
His parents were strict with him and his siblings, not allowing them to have any "special care" or to accept gifts from others. When Li Hongta was a teenager, he often felt hungry due to his physical development, and once when he came home, he saw a few bags of Xinjiang raisins at home, so he couldn't wait to open a bag and eat it.
Although Li Hongta has lived in difficult conditions since he was a child, his parents taught him to cherish everything he has in front of him, which is also the family style he has always adhered to.
His father seriously taught him that as a Communist, he could not accept gifts just because he did something. The father then ordered the family to return the raisins they had sent and demanded a refund of the cost of the packet that Li Hongta had eaten.
This education had a profound impact on Li Hongta, making him always remember that as a party member, it is his right to serve the people wholeheartedly. During the three years of natural disasters, Li Hongta did not see meat dishes at the dinner table.
"People are going through a difficult time, and the Communist Party should not be specialized," my father stressed. Li Baohua's words and deeds deeply influenced Li Hongta, so that he always paid attention to hard work in his future life.
In 1966, Li Hongta, who was about to embark on the road of becoming a soldier, was affectionately instructed by his father Li Baohua: "If you want to be the best, you must be able to endure great hardships." On the Jiangsu farm, Li Hongta, as a farmer, ploughed the land, weeded, and planted rice every day, covering almost all the farm work, and his hard work won his comrades-in-arms"Prawns"jokingly called.
After three years of farming life, Li Hongta is strong, swims fast, and can carry a heavy burden of 200 catties. After being discharged from the army, Li Hongta became an ordinary worker at a chemical plant in Hefei.
Although the factory conditions were poor and he had to wear a gas mask when he went to work, he never feared the difficulties, worked actively, and became the technical backbone of the factory.
In 1973, with the recommendation of the factory, Li Hongta got the opportunity to study at Hefei University of Technology. During his time at school, he devoted himself to his professional studies, and after graduation, he returned to the factory to take up the position of technician.
Li Hongta started from the bottom and relied on his own spirit of hard work to gradually promote to leading cadres. In 1987, when the organization asked him which department he wanted to work in, he pondered and replied: "I want to go to the civil affairs department, so that it is more convenient to do practical things for the people." ”
Li Hongta served as a department-level leading cadre in the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, and worked diligently, but he was not promoted for 18 consecutive years.
Although Li Hongta failed to go further in his career, he always had the people in his heart. He thinks that he is already very satisfied with being able to do things for the people, and he has no regrets about it.
His father, Li Baohua, even "helped" him with his promotion. Li Baohua often told the provincial leaders that they should be strict with Li Hongta. Li Hongta has always treated this calmly and did not ask the provincial leaders for promotion.
His behavior is admirable, and even as a leader of his level, he is reluctant to let the unit's car pick him up and stick to his father's teachings.
Li Hongta is thrifty and thrifty, and commuting by bicycle has become a compulsory part of his daily routine, and his behavior has also made a deep impression on the traffic police and small traders.
He proved by his actions that his mind was always closely connected to the people. Li Hongta chose to ride a bicycle for the sake of his health, and he did not appear superior because of his position, but lived a simple life in his own way.
In 2005, he was reported for taking bribes, but he remained calm, saying that he would cooperate with the investigation and that he believed that the investigation team would come to a fair conclusion.
In view of the fact that Li Hongta is the director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and has worked in Anhui for many years, the investigation team attaches great importance to it while also emphasizing confidentiality. Prior to the investigation, the investigation team did not contact other local authorities in Anhui.
However, when the investigation team asked Li Hongta about his commuting style, they were all surprised: "He actually commutes to work by bicycle every day!" In addition, the investigation team also witnessed Li Hongta's small and broken bicycle.
According to the salaries and benefits of normal department-level cadres, for many years, they have also been able to buy cars or electric cars, so why is Li Hongta so frugal? Is this for show or because he is a clean official?
The investigation team visited the community where Director Li was located, and through exchanges with the surrounding people, they came to the conclusion that Director Li is a good person who is close to the people, he is approachable, often greets and chats with the masses, and despite his age, he still rides a bicycle in good spirits.
Next, the investigation team will investigate the status of Director Lee's assets. When they walked into Director Li's home, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Although the furnishings are simple, it is full of life, and although there are not many furniture, each piece is practical and durable.
The most striking thing is the inscription hanging on the wall: "Revolutionary traditions are passed down from generation to generation, adhere to the purpose for the people", which was written by Director Li himself, which not only reflects his personal qualities, but also reflects his deep love for the people.
Li Hongta's home is shabbyly furnished, the paint on the bed table is worn out, the old rectangular dining table is a little shaky, and the whole house is only 55 square meters. He personally organized four house divisions, distributing more than 200 houses to the masses and then to party members, and he himself never occupied a set.
In 2000, due to the feedback of the relevant authorities, he was given a house to be replaced, but the location was not good, and the street noise was high, so he asked his son to move in. His savings are only tens of thousands of yuan, and his usual life is very simple.
Whether it is the unit's charity activities or the inspection of poor homes, he always donates the most, and often personally buys daily necessities for condolences, and never reports to the public afterwards.
In 2003, when the floods of the Huai River and Chuhe River were raging, Li Hongta stepped forward and stuck to the front line of flood fighting, after more than 20 days and nights of hard work. His ** was tanned and his voice was hoarse, just because he wore out seven pairs of rubber shoes and five raincoats, he consistently insisted on going deep into the grassroots in the most ordinary way, without saying any hello, just to see the real life of ordinary people, especially the real situation of poor households.
He regularly checks the passbooks of poor families to ensure that pensions are paid on time and that relief food is being distributed in quantity, quality and freshness.
After Li Hongta found the problem, he actively solved it, reflecting his sense of responsibility and love. He lives a very frugal life, has no bad habits, adheres to principles for gift-giving, refuses to accept, and has a good sense of integrity and self-discipline.
After investigation, Li Hongta was confirmed not only not to be **, but to be honest and honest. As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), he proposed in 2013 to increase the pension insurance for urban and rural residents to more than 100 yuan per person per month, and plans to reach more than 200 yuan per person per month in 2020 with the price of goods.
As for why he didn't pursue material enjoyment, he said indifferently that he was just fulfilling a good duty. Thinking of his father and grandfather's selfless dedication and generosity, people can't help but sigh: it is an endless blessing that such an excellent red family style can be passed down from generation to generation.
