Preface.
In 1960, Shan Lanshan was ordered to be the secretary of Chief Cheng Zihua. After coming, Secretary Shan found that Chief Cheng had a high prestige among the old comrades.
Once, Shan Lanshan met Mr. He. Mr. He called him over and asked, "Which unit are you transferred from?" ”
Shan Lanshan replied truthfully: "Transferred from the guard division." ”
Mr. He nodded, and first praised Shan Lanshan's troops. He said: "The guard division is meritorious in defending the party and ***. ”
Then, Mr. He asked about Shan Lanshan's work at Cheng Zihua's side.
Since Shan Lanshan didn't come for long, he simply said a few words. Mr. He asked him to work hard, saying: "Cheng Zihua is a good comrade, with a strong sense of dedication, able to fight, can engage in business, can make plans, and is also very stable in mastering construction." ”
After hearing this, Shan Lanshan's heart blossomed, and he thought: It is really my blessing that I can work by Cheng Lao's side, and I will definitely learn a lot of useful knowledge.
Indeed, Cheng Zihua is very good to Shan Lanshan, and when he goes out to work, he always takes him with him. A lot of things are sometimes handed over to him to complete, and once, Cheng Zihua asked him to take a picture of the chief.
This made Shan Lanshan very at a loss.
Speaking of which, it's also a workout. It is with a good leader like Cheng Zihua that Shan Lanshan can continue to grow and progress.
Secretary Cheng Zihua: Am I Cheng Zihua smarter than Mr. Peng?
Cheng Zihua pays attention to investigation and research, and Shan Lanshan, as a secretary, always accompanies him.
In the 60s, the road to Panzhihua was high and dangerous, and if you were not careful, you would cause an accident in which the car died together.
Although he knew how dangerous the road was, Cheng Zihua didn't pay attention to it at all. When he ventured to go, Shan Lanshan would always persuade him, but the final result remained unchanged.
In August 1964, Cheng Zihua led an investigation team to inspect the predecessor of the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Base, Nongping.
It's not easy to get to this place. First of all, the group had to cross the Jinsha River safely. At that time, it was just in time for the situation of rising water, turbulence, and no big boats.
If you want to travel, you can only take the small boat that transports firewood by ordinary people.
The boatmen said to them, "We usually don't go through the river this season, for fear of danger." After hearing this, Shan Lanshan considered the safety of Chief Cheng, and began to persuade him not to go to the river for the time being.
Immediately afterwards, the other companions also persuaded me one by one.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zihua, who never got angry, lost his temper. He said loudly: "It is wrong for you to interfere with me crossing the river, but how can Jiang understand the actual situation of Panzhihua, and how can he complete the task assigned to me by the party and **?" Is it more dangerous than crossing the Jinsha River during the Red Army's Long March? ”
After arriving at Nongping, Cheng Zihua found that it was a very desolate place, and only seven families lived here.
Cheng Zihua found an old man in his 70s and talked to him.
In the middle of their conversation, Shan Lanshan took out lunch and invited Cheng Zihua to eat. The so-called lunch was just a few hard cakes and two sugar canes, which I bought from Renhe Town in Yunnan on the way here.
Cheng Zihua asked the old man to eat cakes together, and the old man shook his head and said, "I'm old, my teeth are not good, and I can't bite." He said that he got up to make soup for Cheng Zihua, but was politely refused, and the two continued to talk, and Cheng Zihua recorded some useful materials in a small book from time to time.
At night, Cheng Zihua and his entourage lived in a guest house in Renhe Town, Yunnan, which was a place where the common people in the vicinity often lived, and the conditions were very simple.
After a while, Shan Lanshan found that the room was damp, and he was worried that it would affect the chief's hands injured in the war, so he asked if he wanted to change the house?
Cheng Zihua criticized him and said:
I told you a long time ago not to cause trouble to the Southwest Bureau, so why do you mention these things? The people of Chengdu have lived in bungalows all their lives, aren't they living well? My housing is much better than that of government cadres and workers, so why make it special? Is Mr. Peng's house also damp? He is not afraid, am I Cheng Zihua smarter than Mr. Peng? ”
Cheng Zihua asked Secretary Shan to take a photo of ***.
In 1964, Cheng Zihua was transferred to serve as the first deputy director of the Southwest Third Line Construction Committee. At that time, ** went to the Southwest Third Line Construction Committee as the deputy director.
Cheng Zihua respected Mr. Peng very much, visited him many times, and introduced to him the construction of the third line in the southwest.
Mr. Peng was deeply disturbed by this and said:
Comrade Zihua, you are very busy in the comprehensive work of the third-line construction, and you have come to visit me many times, thank you. You can rest assured that the staff around me will take good care of you. ”
They were extremely concerned about the construction of the third line in the southwest, and many leading comrades personally inspected the third line.
In late October 1965, Cheng Zihua was very happy when he learned that Comrade Xiaoping was going to inspect the Third Front in the southwest, and he studied the outline of the report with Li Jingquan several times, and made special arrangements for Comrade Xiaoping's safety.
Cheng Zihua gave Secretary Shan a special task. He said: "Reporters are not allowed to go into the mountains for the time being to conduct interviews, and Secretary Shan is responsible for Comrade Xiaoping's personal shooting task, and Comrade Xiaoping will tell us in a timely manner if he has any instructions. ”
After listening to the chief's words, Shan Lanshan couldn't help muttering in his heart: Although I have taken ** for some leading comrades, it is the first time to shoot for the beloved Comrade Xiaoping, and I am worried that the shooting will not be good.
After thinking for a while, Shan Lanshan still made a statement: resolutely complete the task.
Later, these ** became precious historical materials, and the existing Sichuan ** Society.
Shan Lanshan bid farewell to Cheng Zihua.
Shan Lanshan has followed Cheng Zihua for many years and found that the chief is really popular.
In the 60s, Cheng Zihua and Lu Zheng lived in the same courtyard, and the old comrades-in-arms who led the people of Jizhong in the anti-Japanese war together were very happy for this.
When the two families meet something delicious, they can't forget to invite each other's whole family to eat and talk.
Sometimes, the two chiefs talked and argued, and Shan Lanshan was very worried. At this time, Lu Zhengcao's wife Liu Sha said: "When the two of them get together, they have to talk about work, and when they talk about work, they have to argue, but after the argument, they forget about it, and no one minds." I'm used to it, you don't have to worry. ”
Another Sunday, Han Xianchu, commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, came to Beijing for a meeting and used his break time to ask Secretary Shan to accompany him on hunting.
They shot a lot of hares, and Commander Han asked Shan Lanshan to get a few for Cheng Zihua.
Cheng Zihua was very happy, and asked Secretary Shan to notify Wan Li, **Lu Zhengcao, Duan Junyi, **Sun Zhiyuan and other leaders to taste game together.
Several leaders came by invitation to talk about work while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Wan Li talked about the construction of agriculture and water conservancy in Beijing, Duan Junyi talked about the development of the machinery industry, Lu Zhengcao talked about the construction of the railway, Sun Zhiyuan talked about the development of aviation and convention, and he talked about the introduction of walk-behind tractors from Japan.
Shan Lanshan thought to himself, this is not so much a dinner party as a meeting. They were thinking about their work style all the time, which left a deep impression on Shan Lanshan.
Later, although Shan Lanshan was transferred away from Cheng Zihua's side, he has always had a deep affection for the chief.
On the night of Cheng Zihua's death, Shan Lanshan happened to be present. Comrade Jiang and other leading comrades came to the hospital to bid farewell to Cheng Zihua.
Comrade Jiang said to Cheng Zihua's wife, Zhang Hui
We are very concerned about Comrade Zihua's condition, Zihua is an old comrade of our party, and we all know that he is concerned about the construction of the third line in the southwest and the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River. His passing is a great loss to our party. You have done your best for Zihua's illness, thank you, and hope you take care of your health. ”
Many years later, recalling the days with the chief, Shan Lanshan always said: "Being with Cheng Lao is so fulfilling and pleasant, and I can always get inspiration and lessons from it." ”
