In July, 2065438+00, when General Secretary Hu Jintao visited Henan and listened to the report of the provincial political commissar and the provincial government, he once again stressed that the spirit of Hongqiqu and Jiao Youlu bred in the Central Plains is the precious spiritual wealth of the whole party. Party committees and organizations at all levels and party member cadres should take the lead in inheriting and making good use of this precious spiritual wealth, and strengthen the cultivation of party spirit and work style. We must persist in building the party for the public and governing for the people, keep in mind the party's purpose, persist in seeking truth and being pragmatic, and strive to win the trust of the people with the actual results of building a clean and honest party style.
The book Yang Gui and Hongqi Canal objectively reflects the construction process of Hongqi Canal and embodies its spirit. It is a vivid teaching material for the Communist Party of China (CPC) to build the party for the public, govern for the people and lead the people in building socialism. Published by Central Compilation Press in September 2004, it was deeply loved by readers and won the "Five Processes" Excellent Book Award in Henan Province. The spirit of Hongqi Canal is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and a book is hard to find. We are sincerely gratified and agree that the publishing house will republish the book on the occasion of celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of China.
What is more gratifying to the author is that many readers, especially some respected old leaders, lamented the greatness of Hongqi Canal and called the name of Comrade Yang Gui. 1973165438+10 In October, Premier Zhou Enlai nominated Comrade Yang Gui to work in the Ministry of Public Security, and presided over the overall work of the Ministry of Public Security after smashing the Gang of Four. Dealing with complicated situations in that special period was unfairly treated because of being framed by rumors. According to the instructions of the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is seeking truth from facts. After careful consideration, it was decided in March 2006 that Comrade Zhou Enlai nominated Comrade Yang Gui as the Minister of Public Security. During his work in the Ministry of Public Security, he protected the cadres and the masses and resisted the interference and destruction of the Gang of Four. He led the people of Linxian County to build the Hongqi Canal. It has a high prestige among the cadres and the masses in Henan; After being transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture, he devoted himself to poverty alleviation and did a lot of work. The central government decided to change the review conclusion of the former Ministry of Public Security on Yang Gui, restore the treatment of Comrade Yang Gui at the deputy ministerial level, and enjoy the treatment at the ministerial level in medical treatment. This is very gratifying to Yang Gui himself, to our author, to the model worker who followed Yang Gui to build the Hongqi Canal, to Henan Province, to the Ministry of Public Security, and to all readers who care about Yang Gui and Hongqi Canal all over the country!
On the occasion of the second edition of this book, Song Ping, a respected former China scholar and Communist Party of China (CPC) The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), gladly wrote the title of this book. Vice Chairman Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, President of China Academy of Social Sciences and former Secretary of Henan Provincial Party Committee Chen took the time to preface the second edition of this book. We are deeply honored and sincerely grateful!
The postscript of the first edition of the book once said: "Some central departments and the old leaders of the Henan Provincial Party Committee who didn't visit wanted the author to visit, and many individuals and farmers who cared about Yang Gui complained that the author didn't go to them." In this second edition, Comrade Yang Gui said several times: Since readers have approved the first edition, don't make big changes. Therefore, the author only corrected some writing mistakes and tried to keep the original appearance of the first edition. At the same time, the interview record of Cheng Zhensheng, former secretary of President Li Xiannian and former deputy director of the State Council Foreign Affairs Office after the first edition of this book, Qian Xuesen's People's Feelings published in People's Daily on June 5438+065438+1October 08, 2009, and the famous writer Jiang Zilong's Red Flag Canal are all included in this book, so please pay attention to it.
In the second edition, we pay tribute to Mu Qing, former president of Xinhua News Agency, who paid attention to Yang Gui and Hongqi Canal, and Li Yongsheng, one of the authors of this book.
