Because of Jiao Yulu, Lankao has become the birthplace of Jiao Yulu’s spirit. There is an endless stream of people visiting and studying every year. Like many people, every time I go to Lankao, I look for the footprints of Jiao Yulu during his lifetime, look up at the paulownia trees planted by Jiao Yulu himself, and read the simple feelings of the folks who miss their beloved old secretary. baptism.
In Lankao, there is a plant that is always with you, and that is Paulownia. At that time, Jiao Yulu advocated and organized the masses to plant paulownia trees in order to resist the wind and sand. A paulownia tree planted by Jiao Yulu himself during his research in Huji Village has now grown into a towering tree that can be hugged by two people. Paulownia was originally a very common tree. Because it was associated with a noble name, people affectionately called it "Jiaotong". This name was included in the Encyclopedia of China. Walking on the land of Lankao, you can see these extremely vital trees everywhere, rows and pieces, forming a lush paulownia forest, beautiful villages are surrounded by green, and the old course of the Yellow River is submerged in the sea of ??green.
The Paulownia tree is not only the "hero" in locking in the wind and sand, but also the "bank" for the people of Lankao to get rich, and it is also the spiritual support of the people of Lankao. Looking up at the Jiao Tong reaching into the sky, like a towering spiritual coordinate, it seems speechless, but it brings us deep thoughts. Planting Paulownia was the "policy program" put forward by Jiao Yulu to eradicate sandstorms, saline-alkali and waterlogging in Lankao after extensive research and combined with local conditions. In today's terms, it is his political achievement. It’s not that Jiao Yulu didn’t know that although Paulownia grows quickly, it can’t grow into a forest in a year and a half. His hard work in office only left a green shade for future generations. But he had no regrets. Not only did he work day and night during his lifetime and became ill from overwork, but he also told people, "Please bury me in the sand dunes after I die. If you haven't cured the wind and sand while you are alive, I will watch you do it after you die." The wind and sand are cured!" Jiao Tong's growth process has witnessed the historical value of "laying the foundation and pursuing the long term", demonstrating the selfless mind and lofty realm of a Communist, and why political achievements and party members and cadres should stay What kind of political achievements give the best interpretation.
In Lankao, there is a feeling that always stays with you, that is, Jiao Yulu has not gone far, and the story of Jiao Yulu has been circulating. In the streets, alleys, offices and conference rooms of government agencies, portraits and photos of Jiao Yulu can be seen everywhere. He still looks at this land affectionately and how the people of Lankao manage the sandstorm and build their homes well. Whether it is the cadres' sigh that "when they see the paulownia tree, they think of the old secretary" or the scene in which the masses place the first basket of steamed new wheat buns in front of Jiao Yulu's tomb every year, they all truly tell us that Jiao Yulu has not left. Living forever in the hearts of the people of Lankao, he is still working side by side with the people of Lankao to create a better tomorrow.
Why do people still miss a county party secretary who has passed away exactly 50 years ago? Whenever you mention him, do you have such deep affection? The answer is actually very simple. He is a good official praised by the people. He has done good things for the people and brought happiness to them. "What touches people's hearts is love first." People will never forget that on a snowy night, Jiao Yulu braved the snow to visit the blind Aunt Liang. The old man touched Jiao Yulu's hand and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here on a snowy day?" Jiao Yulu said in the old man's ear: "I am your son. Chairman Mao asked me to come to visit you." People will never forget, Jiao Yulu I like to go out at "two times": when the wind and sand are the strongest, to grasp the law of quicksand; when the heavy rain is the biggest, to feel the changes in the flow of floods. Common people said: "The most time I saw Secretary Jiao was in the wind, rain and in the sand!" People will never forget that Jiao Yulu liked to worship three kinds of people as his teachers: those who love labor, those who have skills, and those who are poor. A person with great ambition. Jiao Yulu was a person who regarded the masses as his parents and relatives. "He had all the people in his heart, except himself." Jiao Yulu was a person who measured the party's mass line with his footsteps. He always grew up in the practical activities of the masses. Talent, gain the courage and methods to overcome difficulties; Jiao Yulu is a man with great virtue and a big mind. Great virtue lies with the people, and a great mind is with the world. His character, official ethics, and party spirit are all tied to the most essential and valuable thing about him, which is that he always thinks of the people, relies on the people in everything, and does everything for the people. This is the fundamental reason why he is talked about and admired by the people, and it is also the fundamental reason why we Communists can gather the power of the masses, exert it, and get things done.
Justice lies in the human heart. From ancient times to the present, good officials are the blessing, blessing and hope of the people. "Who among the common people does not love officials?" The inspiration given by Jiao Yulu's story should become a question of conscience, party spirit and mission of our Communists today.
