"A good general is needed in a national crisis, and a good wife is expected in a family predicament. ** Comrade is highly accomplished in the field of economics. ”
At the turning point of history, ** has entered the twilight of his life, but he is still pushed into the challenge of the torrent and the mainstay. In the economic aspect, he resolutely said: "Those who should be dismounted must be dismounted, and those who should be put on the horse must be whipped quickly." And for major projects, he made a military order, promising to "cut off the horse" if the task is not completed.
He also explored a new path of construction. Politically, he re-entered the decision-making level and presided over the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was unrelenting in his efforts to punish the illegal and criminal acts of privileged people in accordance with the law, and emphasized that "one should be killed to make an example."
At the same time, he will never compromise on matters of principle, and will not "make peace with the mud". In the face of tremendous resistance, he advocated "the promotion of thousands of middle-aged and young cadres so that the elements who stir up trouble cannot make a big mess."
In China's political and economic arena, it has played an extremely important role, established immortal feats, and is deeply respected and loved by the people of the whole country.
When the wheel of time drove into 1978, ** also happened to enter the age of antiquity. Although he was only a member of the Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, he was by no means an ordinary member.
This year, there have been major events on China's political scene that have had a far-reaching impact. Within the Communist Party of China, two ** plenary sessions were held in 1978. From February 18 to 23, the Second Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee was held, followed by the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee from December 18 to 22, and it was decided to shift the focus of the party's work to socialist modernization.
At the same time, in this special historical period, the first class that is already in its infancy is shouldering a special mission.
After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, we are faced with the primary issue of how to guide the ship of China's economic construction to sail into the course of healthy development. On New Year's Day 1979, ** urgently sent a document on the arrangement of the economic plan for the next two years, accompanied by an urgent letter.
*This document was reviewed in detail, in which it clearly and decisively put forward recommendations not to leave gaps, lower indicators, and reduce certain projects. These suggestions attracted the attention of a Xinhua news agency report, and eventually prevailed within the ** leadership, overpowering the impatient momentum in time.
With the attention of Comrades Guofeng, Xiaoping, and Dongxing, the State Development Planning Commission revised the draft to avoid possible risks.
In March 1979, ** and *** jointly put forward two suggestions to the Communist Party of China: first, to establish a financial and economic committee; Second, he put forward several opinions on the current and future financial and economic work.
These proposals were unanimously agreed upon in the discussion of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China and re-emphasized by the Communist Party of China at the retreat of the party's theoretical work. Despite his appointment as head of the Financial and Economic Committee, he modestly stated that his physical strength and experience were limited and that he could only do what he considered most necessary and do what he could.
These events show that ** has widespread support and respect in the financial sector.
On June 13, 1985, ** ushered in his 80th birthday. At noon on this day, many leading comrades came to his home to celebrate his birthday.
It is said that ** appreciates everyone's kindness, but he said: "Everyone is very busy, so there is no need to make such a big fanfare." "On this day, there was an endless stream of people who came to the ** house, and the house was very lively.
Although after receiving all the guests, ** sighed to the staff around him: "It's so busy to have a birthday, everyone has come to see me, and it is a waste of time and effort, and I will never celebrate my birthday like this in the future." ”
* His physical condition has not been very good, since the forties and fifties of the last century, he has often been sick, in this regard, he also joked that his body has been fighting on the front line for 6 years since he presided over the financial work, during which he has done a lot of work for the party.
However, with the development and development of the economic work plan, **began to worry about the problem of people. In March 1981, he wrote in a letter to veteran comrades: "Veteran cadres are important, but if young cadres around the age of 40 are not promoted to work at various levels and let them gain experience in their work, then the problem will become a big problem." ”
In addition to asking questions about people, a series of measures have been taken. He believed: "To realize the ** needed cadres, it is not a question of one or two thousand, but a problem of thousands." ”
I say this mainly to remind the veteran comrades of the ** to pay attention to their physical health. Although it is important to do more work, if you are tired of your body, you will do less work; If you can keep your health healthy, you can do more work. ”
After the age of 80, ** insist on walking every day to exercise. However, in the autumn of 1986, **'s old comrades-in-arms Han Xianchu, ** and *** passed away one after another, which brought huge psychological pressure to ** and other leaders of the older generation.
They dragged their heavy footsteps and were physically and mentally exhausted, but they still decided to attend the farewell ceremony of the three old comrades-in-arms three times in three days, October 11, 16, and 29.
In the end, they decided to discuss important matters at the home of **, and do it every other day.
**, and ** The three elderly people had a rare one-on-one meeting on the morning of October 31, which attracted the attention of the staff. Immediately after the talks, they were asked to leave and were not seen in public.
The move has led to speculation and reports about his whereabouts and health problems. In order to avoid such speculation and reporting, the leaders arranged a public event on the first Sunday of April 1987, that is, Arbor Day, to participate in the voluntary tree-planting activity for the whole people.
This activity started with ** who was recuperating in Hangzhou. When the car drove to a sharp turn, ** saw two very familiar thousand-year-old trees, with an iron sign on them that read "1000 years old".
* smiled and said, "This tree is not very old." I wrote about 1000 years ago when I came here, and it's still 1000 years now. The other said, "That's at least a thousand and a little bit old." ”
Through this activity, the leaders and the outside world showed a positive and environmentally friendly spirit.
* said that there is a bigger tree in his hometown, but that it is only by planting trees that it will benefit future generations. With the progress of society, we should do more greening and afforestation to create a better living environment.
When planting trees in Hangzhou, ** took off his coat and hat, although the weather is still a little cool, wearing a hat will affect the photo effect. Peng Zhen and other leaders also participated in the voluntary tree planting activity in Beijing on the same day, and all major leaders reported on it.
A few days later, **went to visit Hangzhou**, and as soon as they met, he said that he had seen **tree planting on TV, and praised ** for his great energy. Although both Taiwan and Hong Kong have reported on their physical condition, they said that he can still walk and plant trees, so they planted trees to refute rumors, and the rumors were self-defeating.
* retired from the ** leadership position and lived a retired life, but he always maintained the ** authority and thought about the problem from the perspective of the people. He cares about the future and destiny of the country and the water crisis in the city, and thinks deeply about it.
After doing the calculations, he found that by changing the way the toilet is used, a lot of water can be saved per person per day, so he is optimistic that there is a lot of potential for water conservation in our country.
* Before his death, he asked Hong Xuezhi to write the history of the four field battles of the People's Liberation Army, and proposed that he serve as a consultant, even if he was seriously ill, he did not forget to ask about the progress. Soon after, ** died in Beijing at the age of 90.
