Mao Zhiyong, a poor young man from rural Hunan, was promoted step by step to the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee with his selfless love for the people, and later became a senior leader of the country.
In the war-torn era, Mao Zhiyu was born in 1929 in an ordinary peasant family in Yueyang County, Hunan. Although the People's Republic of China had not yet been founded, Mao Zhiyong's birth brought joy as well as deep concern.
The social turmoil of that era made reading a luxury. In many families, children either join the army or start doing farm work and household chores at a very young age in order to share the pressure on the family earlier.
However, Mao Zhiyong has shown a strong love for reading since he was a child.
During the turbulent period of the Japanese invasion in Hunan and other places, although Mao Zhiyong's heart was like a knife, his parents respected his decision. He knew that he would not be able to immediately contribute to the country at this time.
Therefore, he chose to remain calm, gather strength, and prepare to fight back.
Mao's academic experience was full of ups and downs, but he eventually successfully completed his high school program. At that time, it was already rare to be able to obtain a high school education, and people with reading experience were considered to be knowledgeable and literate people.
Mao Zhiyong used the knowledge he had learned to do some small things for his parents and fellow villagers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, large-scale construction and development were needed, and Mao Zhiyong actively participated in it and contributed to the prosperity of the country.
At that time, the township ** faced a problem, they urgently needed to find a cultural person, but they searched the entire countryside and did not find a suitable candidate. They even lowered the bar and tried to select people with a little literacy, but still did not find satisfactory candidates.
This made them very worried, because Mao Zhiyong was about to refuse their request.
Mao Zhiyong, at the invitation of the party secretary Sangu Maolu, deeply felt that he did not know the overall situation of the villagers, so he readily agreed to go out of the mountain. Who would have thought that when he first entered politics, he would emerge.
In rural China in the 50s, a picture of prosperity unfolded in front of people. The success of the agrarian reform brought down the landlords, allowed the peasants to really stand up, and won more rights and interests; The implementation of the literacy campaign has brought a new wind of knowledge to every corner of the countryside; The proposal of the "Double Hundred Policy" has made the people's entertainment life more colorful.
All this is inseparable from the silent hard work of Mao Zhiyong and other cadres.
Although the party secretary personally invited Mao Zhiyong five times, he was still low-key, and always adhered to his duties and responded politely to his superiors and fellow villagers.
In fact, Mao Zhiyong did not disappoint the leaders of the township. With a wealth of knowledge, he can easily solve any queries raised by his superiors. In addition, he has a very good attitude towards his work, and often humbly asks his juniors for advice to find better solutions.
The most important thing is that Mao Zhiyong always keeps in mind his origins.
Mao Zhiyong performed well, was promoted to district secretary less than a year after joining the company, and successfully became a member of the Communist Party of China in the same year.
In 1953, Mao Zhiyong was awarded the post of secretary of a district party committee in Yueyang County and deputy director of the organization department of the county party committee.
Mao's love for the countryside stems from his experience of living in the countryside since he was a child. He cherishes every inch of land under his feet, every rice that grows from his hands, and is attracted by the simple folk customs bred by this land.
When he became secretary and deputy minister, he did not abuse his power, but chose to work in the fields with other peasants. During the busy farming season, he also personally commanded the farm work and took the lead.
His spirit is worth emulating.
Mao Zhiyong was well aware of the natural and man-made disasters in 1959, and shared weal and woe with the villagers, even ate and lived together, listened to their voices, and alleviated their predicament. He firmly believed in the principle of seeking truth from facts, resolutely opposed exaggerating grain production, and did not allow villagers to use the pots and pans at home to make iron, which was a serious damage to the people's livelihood.
He insisted on seeking truth from facts and stopping losses in a timely manner, which was deeply admired.
During his leadership in Yueyang County, Mao Zhiyong actively advocated scientific farming technology, which was well received by the peasant masses, and his reputation gradually increased in Hunan Province, which was widely recognized and praised.
As the country's top leader, he worked hard every day for the country's prosperity, but as time passed, he began to realize that his energy was limited and he could not handle all the affairs of Hunan Province and learn the knowledge of governance at the same time.
For the sake of the long-term interests of the country, he began to look for the help of the preparer, hoping that he could share part of the work so that he could have more time and energy to deal with more important things.
After careful consideration, ** met Mao Zhiyong, who was popular at that time. After many exchanges, ** deeply trust and agree with Mao Zhiyong. In 1976, a generation of great men passed away, and he endured great grief and took over the chairmanship, and Mao Zhiyong also became a key figure with his strong personal strength.
In 1978, the wave of reform and opening up swept across the country, and major foreign companies sprung up in China.
As a model province for national development, Hunan shoulders an important leadership responsibility. In order to actively respond to the call of the state, Mao Zhiyong actively promoted the reform of state-owned enterprises, and continued to learn from the experience of opening up to the two regions.
Thanks to his efforts, the three cities of Chenzhou, Hengyang and Lingling were identified as the main positions of the open experiment. By taking advantage of the geographical location of these cities, Hunan can undertake the industrial transfer of the two regions and promote the economic development of Hunan Province.
After serving the people of Hunan for 11 years, Mao Zhiyong received instructions from the first class to work in Jiangxi, where the conditions were more severe. After taking up his post in Jiangxi, he flexibly applied his experience in governing Hunan to the governance of Jiangxi.
Facts have proved that Hunan and Jiangxi, as inland cities, do have a lot in common in terms of governance. Under the leadership of Mao Zhiyong, in 1992, the Southern Talk passed through Nanchang and witnessed that Jiangxi, an inland city, could also keep up with the pace of national development.
Mao Zhiyong, a loyal person who always has the country and the people in his heart no matter where he is. In 1998, he was once again assigned to South China to deal with the catastrophic floods.
In the face of the danger in the disaster area and his own physical inconvenience, he did not flinch and sent material assistance to the disaster area as soon as possible, showing selfless dedication and firm responsibility.
His actions have made people see the image of a real public servant, which is worthy of our learning and admiration.
In 2003, Mao Zhiyong announced his resignation, retired from the political arena, and retired to the countryside. This great man, who has contributed most of his life to the development of China and its people, deserves to be treated with courtesy by all.
The organization decided to arrange Mao Zhiyong and his wife into a better dry rest house and nursing home to enjoy a good life. However, in the face of such an arrangement, Mao Zhiyong refused without hesitation.
After most of his life, Mao Zhiyong finally returned to his dream hometown. Standing on that solid land, feeling the familiar air, he suddenly had a strong impulse - Mao Zhiyong used his own funds to buy three small tiled houses in a remote valley, and raised chickens and ducks in the yard in front of the house, and even opened up a vegetable field to grow some vegetables from time to time to pass the time.
The old man seems to have returned to the days of his youth when he toiled with his neighbors and fellow villagers in that land. At that time, although the body was hard, the heart was full of vitality and vitality.
He is still keen to help the villagers with farm work, and always cares about the living conditions of each family. If any family encounters difficulties, Mao Zhiyong always does his best to help.
In his spare time, Mao Zhiyong will read and write alone at home, and his wife is familiar with his habits and never interrupts him. The couple went through each day in such a bland and contented way.
Mao Zhiyong, a great man who was deeply loved by the people, died of illness. But in his later years, he had a good life and mentality, and walked peacefully, reassuring the tens of millions of people who had received his favor.
He worked hard when he was young, devoted his youth to the people, and in his later years, he was poor and indifferent, dancing in the countryside, leaving a fragrance for eternity. His life is a glorious example of selfless dedication and indifference to fame and fortune.
