"Clean hands sing honest songs, work hard and write pragmatic music ..." In the past 4 1 year, whether as an ordinary trumpeter or later as a missile brigade commander, deputy chief of staff, deputy commander and commander, he was extremely loyal to the party, the people and the army, devoted his life to the missile cause, participated in the preparation and participation of the first conventional missile brigade of our army.
He regards honesty as the most sacred spiritual highland in his heart. He was clean-handed and handed over a qualified answer sheet to the party and the people. During his decades of military career, Yang Yegong realized a truth: if you live a simple life and don't pursue luxury scenes and personal enjoyment, your desires will be less, your troubles will be far away, your fighting spirit will not be worn away, and your mind will be more prepared for military struggle. Under this understanding, he and Liu Yuxi wrote an inscription of a public servant in Liu Yuxi's humble room: if the position is not high, honesty will lead to fame. Power is not great, but it is spiritual to the public. I am a civil servant, but I am moral ... This is not a grandiose sentence, but in his simple and ordinary words, he reveals a criterion, a moral character, and a noble personality to be a pure and true person.
Yang Yegong not only wrote this, but also did this. Over the years, no matter how the times changed, the environment changed and his position was adjusted, he always improved his conditions and never lost his political nature of hard struggle. The position has been promoted, but the heart of the public servant has not changed; The power in the hands has become greater, and the pursuit of building the party for the public and governing for the people has not changed. From the day he became a brigade commander, he posted the words "Don't bring gifts in" on the lintel to restrain himself and warn others. Usually, he is very strict with himself, ranging from the "meaning" given by individual cadres on holidays to a knife of rice paper given by grassroots officers and soldiers. He won't accept an idea, accept an idea, and then he will never do it again. In 2002, a group leader and political commissar gave him a root carving worth more than 200 yuan. He not only refused, but also criticized and educated them "don't use bad ideas." When his only son, Yang Botao, got married, he repeatedly told the staff around him not to keep secrets. He didn't receive a wedding present or a big wedding reception. He just invited several leaders to the scene in the form of a tea party at the cultural station of the political department of the base and held a simple ceremony. He bought melon seeds and cigarettes himself. Afterwards, after learning the news, some cadres still tried their best to "express", but they were all rejected by him.
From 65438 to 0998, his father, who was nearly eighty years old, was treated in the base hospital for cataract. At that time, he was the deputy commander of the base, in charge of logistics. After his father left the hospital, he went to pay the bill. Hospital leaders repeatedly refused to say, "You managed us and made contributions to the hospital. Now the hospital's annual income is more than several million yuan. Do you still care about your money? " Yang Yegong said: "My father is not a soldier, so naturally he has to pay for medical treatment." The hospital leader knew his temper and had to accept all the hospitalization expenses of 4200 yuan. Afterwards, he was afraid that others would find reasons to reimburse him. After returning home, he simply tore up the invoice in front of his wife.
As a senior leading cadre, Yang Yegong has always been competitive in his work, striving for first-class. But in my life, I am indifferent to water, taking extravagance as a curse, taking pride in frugality, and I don't enjoy and treat it better than anyone else. Whenever I am on a business trip, I would rather share an ordinary standard room with the driver and doctor than live in a suite specially prepared for him. He wore a 18 autumn coat, but some old underwear was reluctant to throw away because of the elastic band. In his home, there are many whitewashed walls, dilapidated tables and chairs, old-fashioned fluorescent lamps hanging from the ceiling of every room, and the power socket on the table is actually made of an old ping-pong bat ... He firmly believes that the low requirements in personal life do not hinder or even benefit the high standards at work. He can write lyrics and poems, and he has deep attainments in calligraphy art, and he has a high pursuit of spiritual and moral sentiments, but he is extremely indifferent to material desires ... It is these seemingly disharmonious poles that show Yang Yegong's unique style and charm; It is these seemingly discordant poles that constitute the most touching, infectious and inspiring force in Yang Yegong's deeds.
A poet wrote: some people are alive, but they are dead; Some people died, but he is still alive. Yang Yegong is the latter kind of person. Although he is gone, he will live in the hearts of officers and men forever. He became a flag, but a monument, leaving a series of solid footprints.
The position is not high, but it is famous for its honesty. Power is not great, but it is spiritual to the public. I am a civil servant, but I am moral. Step on the grass roots, bend down and examine the truth. Plan in the air and win thousands of miles away. I have a hard life and my prestige has improved. Without biased listening, there is no arbitrary form of work. Li Guoan in the desert, Gao Jiancheng in the Yangtze River, Volkswagen Cloud: the spirit of public servants.
