Father wrote a poem on his 70th birthday.
Time flies, time flies, my father is actually 70 years old! In my eyes, my father, who has always been regarded as an example by me, is over seventy!
When I was a child, I was very happy to have a warm home. My father is very kind and strict to my mother, and my parents have a harmonious relationship. The warm atmosphere at home brought a lot of light to my poor childhood. In my eyes, my father is brilliant, capable and good to us. I am very proud of his achievements in work, and his ups and downs make me extremely distressed.
0 1 Father's ups and downs are embarrassing.
My father is the eldest in the family, with five sisters and two younger brothers. He has taken on many responsibilities since he was a child. When he was at school, he had to do farm work for several hours every morning and often rushed to school before he had time to eat. When he arrived at school hungry, he had already finished the class of 1. The teacher had to be punished for being late. At such a difficult time, he insisted on studying from primary school to junior high school, and then stopped studying because of the Cultural Revolution until 2000.
Asked why he had to go to school so hard, he said that he always had a strong belief and wanted to change his destiny through learning. Sure enough, internal drive is the biggest motivation for learning! On the other hand, those children are now well-fed and live in honey, but they are willing to study under the "follow" of their parents.
1970 65438+In February, he will become an employee of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. When he heard that the South China Sea Fleet was recruiting, he signed up for the army and put on his dream navy uniform.
When I first joined the army, recruits often gathered in the middle of the night. Talking or using a flashlight is not allowed. They assembled in five minutes, and the company commander said "Run". A run is more than ten kilometers. When the alarm was lifted, I went back to the barracks and slept for less than an hour, and the emergency assembly number rang again, and so on. Line up during the day, don't sit down during the break, and stand guard at night.
(Father 1974 in South China Sea Fleet)
During his six years in the army, my father worked as both a company soldier and a government soldier, and grew up in a hard life. He contacted comrades at all levels around the country, the old Red Army, the old Eighth Route Army, and leaders of all walks of life. He eagerly absorbed literacy from them, wrote hundreds of poems and dozens of articles, formed his own outlook on life, values and way of thinking, and also shaped his character of daring to challenge difficulties, becoming more frustrated and brave, thinking independently and not giving up until he reached his goal.
Due to the influence of the political climate at that time, and the letter said that his father's uncle had participated in the Kuomintang, the excellent father had no hope of promotion, so he retired and returned to China.
As a veteran who just retired, his father was recommended to take the college entrance examination, and he passed the exam smoothly. He can go to school as long as he passes the physical examination. However, I didn't expect the doctor to say that my father had a murmur in his heart and failed the physical examination. But a month later, my father attended the physical examination of the film projectionist of the county people's commune, and the doctor examined him, but he didn't ask anything. Strangely, before the physical examination, the enrollment teacher of a school asked the participants, "Who is Yang XX? (Father's name) ",in that chaotic era, my father was probably replaced, which was really embarrassing!
When my father reports on the wall, he will write Song Style, Bold Style, New Wei Style, Official Script, Running Script, Regular Script and Variant Characters. He was appreciated by the leaders of the commune, joined the film team and became the "top leader" of the cinema. Under his leadership, the cinema worked orderly and achieved remarkable results, and the Provincial Department of Culture rewarded them.
As an excellent projectionist, my father occasionally shows movies at home. Up to now, I still remember the beautiful scene of showing movies with the white wall at home as the curtain!
1985, after the dissolution of the cinema, my father, who had done small business in Guangzhou, Shaoguan and other places, saw the situation in his hometown, striving for stability and refusing to change, and wrote a letter to the county party secretary in the name of "a * * * party member", which aroused strong repercussions in the county. On the recommendation of a cadre, my father served as the village party secretary from 1985 to 20 17, and worked for 32 years at the age of 65.
Under the leadership of my father, our village has been rated as "Top Ten Villages" and "Top 100 Villages" in the city for many times. The village branch has been commended by the county party Committee as "advanced branch", "advanced grass-roots party organization" and "five good branches" for many years.
Under the planning and organization of his father, he actively developed the village collective economy. He set up five brick factories, two battlefields, a feed factory and a prefabrication yard, an office building with three seams and a teaching building of more than 3,000 square meters. Under his planning, he presided over land acquisition, organized resettlement, and built six streets and two ancient buildings; Assist the government to build three major markets and Anping New City, which has made the appearance of Anping city change dramatically! My father was also rated as "Excellent party member" and "Excellent Party Worker" because of his outstanding work for many years, and he was elected as a deputy to the people's congresses of cities and counties and a party representative of cities and counties from 1995.
(My father attended the third meeting of the Fifth Chenzhou Municipal People's Congress)
(Yanggu New Village was built under the planning and organization of my father)
These achievements and honors were achieved by my father after he tasted countless unspeakable ups and downs, experienced countless unspeakable hardships and endured countless unbearable hardships: the land acquisition of each project was exhausted, and the implementation of each project was full of contradictions. ......
My father's life experience is rich and ups and downs, which is a microcosm of the country in those years. Although my father pursued progress and worked hard, the fate of man could not escape the wheel of history in the end: the letter said that his uncle's participation in the Kuomintang made it impossible for him to change his fate by joining the army; Take the college entrance examination, pass the exam, but the opportunity to go to school is replaced by the unwarranted "heart murmur"; Because of his excellent work, he was appreciated by the leaders of the county party Committee and proposed to be a national cadre, but it failed for some reason.
Father's life experience is really embarrassing! In the face of historical trends, everyone is so small! Because I have met these "black swans" many times, my father is a little pessimistic in his bones and often teaches me: always proceed from the worst plan and strive for the best result!
Father's deep fatherly love for us.
In my impression, my father is brilliant. He always likes reading books. When I was a child, I often had books like October, Dangdai and Novel Monthly. His articles were published in some magazines, and he kept writing and wrote many articles during his work. Father's pens and strokes are also beautiful. In my hometown, anyone who needs couplets for happy events often asks him for help. He made couplets by himself from content to writing, no less than the couplets he bought! My father can also play erhu and harmonica. ......
When I was young, it was the happiest moment for our three sisters when my father got off work every day. I still remember when I was a child, my home was next to a pond, surrounded by a dense circle of reeds and cannas. Under the breeze, they seem to nod to us frequently. Seeing dad walking home from a distance, we three sisters cheered and clapped our hands and shouted "Dad is back, Dad is back". After work, we ran to the pond to meet our father against the wind. In the afterglow of the sunset, our happy faces are shining. This beautiful picture has always been reflected in my mind.
Between my house and the pond is my yard. There are many orange trees, osmanthus trees and other plants in the yard. In summer, the fragrance is fragrant. Under the tree, my father who came home from work played the erhu, sang songs and told us stories, or used the wall at home as a curtain to show us movies. What a wonderful time!
(My parents and our three sisters)
My father often said that when I was a child, because of the great famine in the 1960s, my family was large, hungry, hungry, hungry. Sometimes I'm too hungry to open my eyes. Hungry, he stole something to eat and was beaten several times for stealing food from his own house.
From the moment we were born, my father vowed not to let his experiences and regrets as a teenager repeat themselves on us. He loves us very much and doesn't want us to suffer a little. Father is worried that we will not have enough to eat. Cooking always requires more cooking. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. We must not go hungry. When we were young, my father saw that there was not much rice in the pot, and he would "borrow rice" from his grandparents.
My parents really worked hard to go to school for our three sisters. I still don't know how our three sisters went to college at the same time and how our parents raised huge tuition fees. One year, I went to graduate school and my younger brother and sister went to college. The tuition and living expenses needed more than 30,000 yuan a year. What a huge economic pressure this is for them with meager income in the 1990 s!
Then I saw my father's self-legend. In 2000, one of our three sisters was in graduate school and the other was in college. In order to let us finish our studies, my father resolutely sold the facade room for the aged, and practiced the promise of "I can't afford it on my shoulders, but I have to carry it on my back to ensure my children's education" with practical actions. Seeing this, I really burst into tears!
After retirement, my father slowly found the joy of life.
My father has made brilliant achievements in his work and realized a lot of life value, but after retirement, there is a big gap and he is very lost.
My father wrote in an article: I have left the business I have run for decades and the working platform that has dominated the economic and social development of my village for more than 30 years. After decades of ups and downs, I have been vigorous and proud of the spring breeze. Suddenly, I have changed from a promoter of the development of the surrounding society to an abandoned child of the mainstream society and an idle person in career development. I deeply feel how anxious and helpless a man who lost his career is! I deeply feel how empty and anxious it is to lose the initiative in life!
After my father retired, we three sisters have been doing ideological work for him, so that he can get used to slowing down, getting rid of stressful work and enjoying life. My father also slowly adjusted his mentality and often met and chatted with three or five friends. He was honored to be hired as a member of the "Five Elders" by the County Working Committee, and accepted the invitation of universities, primary and secondary schools for the elderly to hold lectures on "doing a good job in the elderly" and "teaching children to become talents", which was well received by everyone; He began to write an autobiography. Up to today, he has written an autobiography of more than 1.8 million words. After reading, we have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of my father's life and benefited a lot from his various life insights and lessons.

After retirement, two lively and lovely granddaughters also became the pillars of his life. For a time, my parents went to my brother's house to help take care of my little niece, and my mother devoted herself to cooking, washing and other housework. Taking care of my granddaughter has become my father's main job. My father, who has been with my granddaughter for a day, is cheerful all day, smiling all over his face and his mouth unconsciously rising.
(Father is happy to take his granddaughter to play)
When he is not at his brother's house, my father watches the videos of his granddaughters every day, wants to see their smiling faces, and wants to know about their study and life. For a time, my brother's sister-in-law didn't send videos to the family every day because of her busy work, so my father urged my brother on WeChat. The father's love for his grandson is the love engraved in his bones!
When his seventy-year-old father looked back on his past, he entered the military camp, where he worked actively and was tempered into steel. During his 32-year tenure as village party secretary, he worked hard to overcome difficulties and risks and brought achievements to collective development. He also spent his whole life cultivating and caring for our three sisters, creating an atmosphere and conditions for our healthy growth and happy life.
My father's life experience before retirement can be described as ups and downs, and he encountered many difficulties, obstacles and "black swans". But with strong will, he dared to challenge difficulties, became more depressed, never gave up until he reached his goal, and turned the seemingly impossible plan into reality. My father, like a strange flower, took root in the barren soil, but survived tenaciously and bloomed sturdily and proudly!
