In 1953, **suddenly asked*** Boss Tan, how much money did you deposit in the bank?
On February 20, 1953, he boarded the ship "Luoyang" and was invited to Nanjing. Due to its stops in Anqing and Wuhu, the ship did not arrive at its destination until 1 a.m. on the 22nd. At Xiaguan Daxing Wharf, the person in charge personally greeted *** and reminded *** to pay attention to his body: "Chairman, the weather is cold, please take care of your health, we can go to Beijing to report to you, you don't have to come in person." * But he insisted: "You can be more sure if you know the truth in person and come out in person." ”
**After staying at the guest house of the Provincial Party Committee, he immediately arranged to listen to the reports of the East China Military Region and the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee. The next day, he met with leaders at all levels on the shore of Xuanwu Lake and held discussions with secretaries of city and county party committees in various localities.
Subsequently, ** was escorted to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum. After that, visit the Purple Mountain Observatory and the Ming Tomb.
**Stepping into the factory avenue, you will be flanked by a long cultural corridor full of hand-copied newspapers created by workers. Accompanied by the factory leaders, he read every hand-copied newspaper intently, but the pace never stopped.
In front of a hand-copied newspaper called "Inspirational Road", ** stopped for a long time, frowning slightly. The content accuses the factory leaders of lack of in-depth practice and calls on them to get out of the office and communicate with the workers.
Wang Mingjie, secretary of the party committee of the factory, and Liu Jianguo, the director of the factory, stood awkwardly on the side, feeling the seriousness of the factory.
**After pondering for a moment, he asked solemnly: "As factory leaders, do you just eat or shoulder responsibilities?" ”
Wang Mingjie was embarrassed by these words, and he stammered and replied: "Of course we are responsible." ”
**Continue to ask: "Who is this hand-copied newspaper criticizing?" ”
Liu Jianguo reluctantly replied: "It may be criticizing me." ”
** joked: "How can a big man like you hide in the office and not come out?" ”
Liu Jianguo explained awkwardly: "Actually, we go to the warehouse every month. ”
** Deeply admonished: "As a leader, you should often go out of the office, go to the grassroots, get to know the lives of the workers, and connect with them." ”
** Continuously reading hand-copied newspapers on the cultural corridor expresses concern for the workers and expectations for the leaders.
On the way from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to the former Sun Ke Mansion at No. 8 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the motorcade was surrounded by thousands of workers, students and residents, shouting the slogan of "Long live the ***", expressing their admiration for the great man.
**Get out of the car immediately, and walk towards the crowd with **, Ke Qingshi and other companions.
In the cold wind, ** took off his military hat, held it high above his head, kept waving, greeted the crowd, and shouted: "Long live the people!" Long live the Motherland! ”
The crowd boiled and cheered, and the scene became a sea of joy.
After returning to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, ** has been saying to himself: "This is the people, the people are the real driving force to create world history!" ”
On the afternoon of February 24, 1953, the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival holiday was coming to an end.
**Take the "Nanchang" ship to dock at Pukou and transfer to a special train to go north.
Liu Zhong, secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Li Yunhua, mayor of Suzhou, boarded a special train at the request of the first to report to the people in Suzhou.
Li Yunhua mentioned in the report: "Recently, there has been a downward trend in bank savings. ”
Shocked, he eagerly asked, "Why?" What's the problem?
Li Yunhua explained: "Recently, the higher-level banks have changed their regulations, which has caused inconvenience for the masses to deposit and affected their savings. ”
** shook his head and said seriously: "This year is the beginning of the first five-year plan, the development of production must raise funds, the concentration of social idle funds is one of the indispensable means, this issue must be taken seriously. ”
He took the issue on his notebook as a sign of importance.
In the evening of the same day, ** invited Liu Zhong and Li Yunhua to dinner together.
Among the simple meals, there is a spicy dish.
** To Liu and Li, he said: "Our people are still struggling, and we must do our best to solve their food and clothing problems." ”
After dinner, ** walk into the lounge with them.
**, Yang Shangkun, ** and others have already sat down there.
**Concerned about the issue of bank deposits, he seriously asked everyone how much money they had deposited in the bank.
** said that he had saved ten yuan, and Yang Shangkun said that it was eight yuan.
**Set his eyes on *** and asked solemnly: "Boss Tan, how much money have you deposited in the bank?" ”
Why do you call *** "Boss Tan"? The reason is that during the Anti-Japanese War, ** served as the commander and political commissar of the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, often disguised as the boss of the silk cloth business, and went deep behind the enemy to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle, so he was affectionately called "Boss Tan" by his comrades-in-arms.
When *** asked everyone to deposit money in the bank, it was ***'s turn. He replied a little embarrassedly: "I have saved a little too much, more than 30 yuan." ”
** patted his thigh excitedly and said with a smile: "Haha, you are amazing, what a 'rich peasant'!" ”
These words caused everyone to laugh.
