On May 3, 1975, ** presided over the Politburo Committee meeting in Beijing, and also invited ***, who was then Vice Premier ***, to attend. Before the start of the meeting, ** personally called *** aside and said to him earnestly: "* Comrade, you have been in a high position for a long time, but no matter what, do not forget your identity as a farmer and maintain your simple nature. ”
Although he was born in an ordinary place, his identity has already been promoted to a national deputy national cadre, and this level has the qualifications to live in Diaoyutai, so why does *** have such an evaluation?
What is the meaning behind it? When it comes to the name ***, everyone must be familiar with it, he was known as a national idol in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and was deeply admired and loved by hundreds of millions of farmers.
**Not a native of Dazhai, his father is from Shishan Village, 30 miles away from Dazhai. That year, when ** was 5 years old, his hometown was hit by an unprecedented drought, which made family life difficult.
In order to survive, his father decided to foster him in a family surnamed Jia in Dazhai. Since then, ** has been integrated into the big family of Dazhai. In the land of Dazhai, ** gradually grew up, he herded sheep for the landlord, worked as a long-term worker, and lived a life of going out early and returning late every day, doing the heaviest and most tiring physical work.
The hard life did not defeat him, but made him hone his spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue.
In those days, most of the people in the village were xenophobic, so some people wanted to be embarrassed because he was strong. So, a Dazhai man found *** to challenge him to compare his strength.
Agreed, and the man put 200 pounds of grain on him and on a donkey. As a result, both ** and the donkey stood up. Then, they each added 50 pounds of weight, but this time it was the donkey that fell, and *** still maintained a tall posture.
From that day on, the people of Dazhai gave *** a nickname, called "a half donkey".
Not only physically exalted, but also intellectually superior. He is a good thinker, an eloquent man, and has a precise insight into problems and people. In addition, he is an excellent farmer, which is reflected in the fact that he was able to master the field work in his 20s with far more results and speed.
Unfortunately, a man as strong and hard-working as he was plagued by poverty. The reason lies in the exploitation of the landlords.
**Because of its excellent physical strength and excellent crop skills, it is favored by landlords. However, he dared to confront the orders of the landlords, and often contradicted them, causing the landlords to stop employing him.
However, it was his courage and ingenuity to challenge authority that won him the respect and friendship of the poor, and gradually became the leader of the poor in Dazhai.
In 1940, the Japanese army invaded Xiyang County, and Dazhai Village was also invaded. ** Unable to succumb to Japanese rule, the warriors decided to seek support from the Eighth Route Army, but they were never able to find it.
In desperation, he returned to his hometown. However, the villagers of Dazhai Village feared that they would be mistaken for traitors, so they had to elect a representative to explain the situation to the Japanese.
Someone suggested that *** should be the representative, because he was not from Dazhai, but *** firmly disagreed.
At this critical moment, a cloth merchant named Cao approached *** and suggested that he serve"Representatives"。** was about to get angry, but the next words of this Cao businessman made him stunned.
It turned out that Cao Shangshang was a member of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and he heard that *** wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, and now the situation was urgent, and they needed someone who could break into the Japanese army, and *** was the best candidate.
Cao Shang explained that ** ostensibly worked for the Japanese, but in fact served the Eighth Route Army, and could also obtain confidential information about the enemy. **I always wanted to find the Eighth Route Army, but I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to take the initiative to find him.
So he nodded in agreement, saying that he would definitely do what the organization asked. Then, he approached the person in charge of Dazhai Village and told them that he was willing to take on the role"Representatives"。
**After being elected as a representative, he began to secretly study the movements of the Japanese army, and transmitted this information to the Eighth Route Army in a timely manner. No matter what kind of torture he suffered, he always stood his ground and refused to recognize that he was working for the Eighth Route Army.
However, the Japanese did not let him go easily because of this, and they decided to execute him. However, just as the Japanese were about to make a move, Xiyang County was liberated and ** was able to return to his hometown.
In 1948, he joined the Communist Party of China and dedicated his strength to the party. In March 1964, ** took a special train to the south, passing through Xingtai and stopping here.
Tao Lujin, who was the secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee at that time, immediately went to report to the work after learning the news, and gave a detailed introduction to the deeds of leading the Dazhai people to fight the wolf's nest three times and how to lead the Dazhai people to improve the local barren situation.
Tao Lujin's report made *** happy, and he stood up and said: "Although I am a farmer, I have a wide range of knowledge, which is extremely rare. Even though he didn't know much to read, he did a lot! ”
Tao Lujin saw that the chairman was still interested, so he asked: "Chairman, you see that it is not too early, how about I come back to you tomorrow to report the situation?" * nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, you come back tomorrow, I want to hear more about ***." ”
Agriculture should learn from Dazhai, and industry should learn from Daqing. This marks the name of Dazhai and ***, and has become the banner and example of the agricultural development of New China.
After learning these words, I feel extremely honored, but at the same time, I also feel that the responsibility on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. On December 26, 1964, it was ***'s 71st birthday, but what *** didn't expect was that when he followed *** into ***'s reception room, *** personally greeted him, shook his hand, and shook hands with *** and others respectively to welcome.
After introducing Xing Yanzi and others, the chairman asked questions cordially and gossiped with everyone.
Our country needs you young people, you are the future of the country, and the fate of the country is in your hands. After the banquet, please continue to stay and chat, he personally poured tea for everyone, and said enthusiastically: "We are all fighting for the future of the country, and I am very pleased and proud of your arrival today."
Let us work together for the development of the country and create a better tomorrow together! ”
**Warmly greeted*** to eat the dish, and brought a dish in front of him to him, repeatedly emphasizing that the dish was delicious, and asked him not to be polite. Since then, he has started his political career and was elected as a member of the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1969.
In August 1973, the "Tenth Congress" of the Communist Party of China was held, and he was elected as a member of the Politburo by virtue of his own strength; In 1975, he rose to the next level and was appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
In just a few years, he walked from Dazhai Village to Zhongnanhai step by step, and became one of the high-level core members of our party. With the improvement of status, the living environment of ** also needs to be changed accordingly.
On May 3, before the meeting began, ** said to the staff: "Please bring Comrade ***." When *** hurried over, ** smiled and said: "*Comrade, don't worry, sit down and rest first." ”
Then, ** said meaningfully, "You know what? Comrade is the vice premier and is eligible to live at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. But why should I let him move out? ”
** The promotion was too fast, and he was directly promoted from the cadres of Dazhai Village to Zhongnanhai, which caused some people to be jealous.
