General writes poems.
Comrade Zhou Keyu/KLOC-joined the Producers Party of China at the age of 0/6, and was awarded the rank of general at the age of 65. He used to be the deputy director of the General Political Department of China People's Liberation Army, the political commissar of the General Logistics Department and the deputy director of the Law Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress. Most of Zhou Keyu's poems are unwilling to comply with the metrical requirements of modern poetry since the Tang Dynasty. His poems are very different from the new poems produced since the May 4th Movement, and they are a combination of the new and the old. There are straightforward folk songs and broad-minded ancient styles, which seem to be blurted out, but they are actually intriguing.
Among these hundreds of works, there are many that are affectionate, fresh and natural, non-sticky, lofty and indifferent, and have won the beauty of ancient style. There are also many feelings about life that make people feel very special. More importantly, these poems are closely combined with current events, reflecting the distinctive spirit of the times, and will never blend into the Tang Dynasty, making it difficult to distinguish them. In fact, Zhou Keyu's concern is not confined to the small scope of his work and life. Instead, look at the broad society, have an insight into the sufferings of people's livelihood, and have the heart of "helping the world." What you see is deeply rooted in your heart, and it is emotional to resort to the pen. Look at the following poem first. This is the poet's profound understanding of nature and life, which also includes thinking about many social problems.
Zhou Keyu's poems are novel and unique in style and rich in content. Diary of Ke Yu's Visit (PLA Literature and Art Publishing House, June 5438+ 10) is a book named "Credit History" by Mr. Nan Zhou, in which the author recorded the period from June 5438+0985 to September 2002 and June 17 in the form of a diary. There are also many poems in the article, which describe exotic customs, express inner feelings, blend scenes and be full of poetry. Most of these poems have been included in the two poems mentioned above, and some are refreshing. There is a flowing truth in Zhou Keyu's poems, which is as frank, frank, clear and transparent as he is, and at the same time shows admirable openness and awe-inspiring righteousness. His poems are not only "sincere" and "full of charm", but also "high style" is valuable. They are close to life in content, care about people's livelihood, reflect the style of the times, have a tough atmosphere in language expression, show their character in humility, and contain a spirit in simplicity. This is not only a spirit of "seeking truth and being pragmatic", but also contains what Mencius called "noble spirit", or the soul of the nation, which is indelible and will not disappear.
Personality assessment
General Zhou Keyu is kind and friendly. Among the friends he often visits, there are leading cadres and scientific and technological personnel; Some are working, some are retired; There are politicians and businessmen; There are dignitaries; More people are people of culture, art and theory. Sometimes I have to meet several different types of people a day, and the topics I talk about jump and have a wide range of knowledge. He often gives the impression that he knows everything he talks about. Shao, a famous professor who studies party history and national history, said: "Zhou Keyu's political commissar is knowledgeable and his speech has a high cultural content." In the usual work, I show a heart of "loving the people". Some comrades who have worked with him have the deepest impression on General Zhou Keyu, that is, he is particularly concerned about people's affairs and grass-roots officers and soldiers. 1990, Zhou Keyu was transferred from the deputy director of the General Political Department to the political commissar of the General Logistics Department. Most units of the General Logistics Department are stationed in big cities. After he took office, he first went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau troops with the worst environmental conditions to investigate and visit officers and men. When he learned that many officers and men had been sacrificed in the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet highway, the laying of oil pipelines and the delivery of materials, he made a special trip to the tomb of the martyrs to offer flowers; Braving the heavy rain and flashlight, I visited the survivors and children of more than 20 martyrs one by one and made a decision on the spot to solve the difficulties. After a lapse of 10 years, a senior colonel officer who accompanied the visit at that time still talked about this matter with deep feelings: "At that time, the political commissar of Zhou requested that all family members should not miss out when visiting, say less polite words and mainly ask them what difficulties they have. When I saw the political commissar, several survivors were crying. " Talking about this matter, General Zhou Keyu said: "As the survivors and children of martyrs, the hardships and hardships are much more than ordinary people, especially the mental pain, which is unimaginable to ordinary people." Shortly after leaving the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, he went to Nenjiang base and dozens of warehouses in remote mountainous areas of Wuhan base, where conditions were equally difficult, to learn about the situation on the spot and solve difficulties. He said that the more difficult the area, the more grass-roots units, the more difficulties there are, and the more heads and organs are needed to solve them. Some soldiers were on duty at the mountain post, but Zhou Keyu insisted on visiting them. He said to the entourage who dissuaded him: "Soldiers are all children. They left their parents to be soldiers in the ravine warehouse for several years, and some even retired without going to the county seat. I should have a look at these soldiers, no matter how high their sentry posts are or how far they are. " During the visit, I saw many soldiers crying when shaking hands with him. He tried to slow down and let the soldiers shake hands for a long time. Some people have to drive for a long time from one warehouse to another. If he has enough time, he will stop at villages along the way to make friends with the people and understand their feelings. On one occasion, when Zhou Keyu's political commissar was talking with farmers in a mountain village, he was very excited when he saw that their lives were difficult, so he asked the staff to distribute the instant noodles, sausages and drinks they brought with them for a picnic on the road to the elderly and children.
From 65438 to 0995, General Zhou Keyu left the leading position in the army and was elected as the vice chairman of NPC Law Committee. He brought the style of going deep into reality and serving the people to the national legislative work. The Law Committee of the National People's Congress assigned him to review and amend more than a dozen laws, such as the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees of the People's Republic of China and the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency. Before reviewing and revising, he personally went down for in-depth research. 1999, in order to review and amend the Meteorological Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), he took people to remote grass-roots units such as Taklimakan Desert Meteorological Observatory, which was sparsely populated, regardless of the difficulty of walking inconvenience caused by low back and leg pain. He said: "The deeper the investigation and study, the more realistic the law will be, and the more it will embody and protect the interests of the country and the people. This is the purpose of legislation and the essence of law. "
According to the introduction of the guards who have followed Zhou Keyu for more than ten years, General Zhou Keyu pays attention to the poor people, grassroots officers and soldiers, scientific and technological personnel, advanced models, young cadres and separated personnel.
Retired veteran comrades, especially the widows of revolutionary martyrs and veteran comrades, have special feelings. For example, people from his hometown come to Beijing to ask him to do things, and he does everything he can to help them. Especially for those who come to see a doctor, they always ask the staff to arrange medical treatment as soon as possible, patiently explain what they can't do if they don't conform to the principle, and even give them travel expenses or even buy tickets for those who are in financial difficulties; Wherever he goes on a business trip, where there is a martyrs cemetery and where there is a martyr's tomb, he will go and see it; On holidays, the key targets of his visit are well-known experts, old comrades and widows living in hospitals, and the key units of his visit are grass-roots companies, retired cadres and kindergartens; Every time I leave the unit on a business trip, I have to go to the cookhouse squad to shake hands with the cooks and say goodbye. During his tenure as the general political commissar, he personally asked to solve the housing problem of young and middle-aged cadres in government agencies. Seeing that some young cadres got married without a house, he instructed the relevant departments: "Even if we solve a room, install a bed and set up a stove, it will still be a home. Living in peace can make you happy. " And urged the construction of several dormitory buildings, including battalion headquarters and company headquarters. The guards also mentioned that General Zhou Keyu and his wife, Wang Zhao, donate their savings to help students every year. The relief targets are mainly poor children in their hometowns and rural areas. Among the more than 50 students who have been rescued, some have been subsidized from primary school to high school, and some continue to subsidize after going to college. In winter, he and his wife found some clothes from home and asked the staff to send them to the relief object. He said: "When I was a child, I was also a poor peasant's child. I know what it's like for the poor to spend the winter. " Wen is a famous scholar, and he has a good eye. He regards "seeking truth and being pragmatic" as the generalization of "goodness" and "beauty" of General Zhou Keyu. He immediately found the source, touched the root, knew Ben, and revealed the great wisdom of General Zhou Keyu and the true meaning of Confucianism.
Work inspection
General Zhou Keyu inspected Yangzhou City.
On May 9, 2006, Zhou Keyu, former member of the Central Military Commission and head of the General Logistics Department, visited Yangzhou, accompanied by Wang Yanwen, deputy secretary of Yangzhou Municipal Committee and mayor, Chang and Dong Wenlin, deputy mayors, and Yang, secretary general of the municipal government. On the bank of the ancient canal, Zhou Keyu stopped for a long time and sincerely praised: "Yangzhou night scene is like a fairyland on earth". General Secretary Zhou sent a deep message: Yangzhou should further improve the "Canal", "Humanities" and "Environmental Protection and Ecology" and build a famous historical and cultural city into a more civilized, rich and beautiful city.
Zhou Keyu and his party came to Anhui for investigation.

personal influence
brief introduction
When it comes to "general", it's easy to think of the word "omnipotent". However, General Zhou Keyu, former political commissar of the General Logistics Department of China People's Liberation Army, was deeply impressed by his "Confucian" demeanor.
Reading is more than just reading and listening.
Confucianism refers to ancient scholars. Therefore, people usually refer to the knowledgeable and literate generals in the army as "Confucian generals". Xue Neng, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described the marshal of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period in his poem "Boating on the Qinghe River". For: "Confucian generals don't need to boast, they don't know how to solve romantic problems with poetry." It can be seen that Confucian generals are more valuable in The Scholars. Professor Wen, a famous scholar and an expert in Chu Ci, was the first to hear the name of "Confucian general". Wen Lao is a close friend of General Zhou Keyu. 1997, Zhou Keyu published a collection of poems, Jing Huai Meng Mark, as a preface for Wen Lao. At that time, the author read the preface and praised Wen Lao's literary talent and writing style. Twisting his beard with his hand, he said seriously, "It is not sloppy to preface the poems of Confucian generals."
General Zhou Keyu's "extensive knowledge" benefited from extensive reading. Speaking of study, he said, "I mainly rely on self-study. The so-called' self-study' means learning by yourself, voluntarily, from beginning to end, and self-improvement. " He has participated in the revolution for more than 50 years and has kept the habit of reading and keeping a diary every day. In his home, there is a big study and a calligraphy room-"Genggeng Hall". You can always find him in these two places in your spare time. For decades, he devoted himself tirelessly to the ocean of knowledge. If you walk into his study, you will see more than a dozen bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, especially literature, history and philosophy. When you open the letter, you will find that on many pages, there are traces of his circles, dots and comments, as well as his notes in random reading. General Zhou Keyu has a wide range of interests. In terms of cultural activities, I am often invited to participate in various symposiums, symposiums, premieres, premieres and visit various calligraphy and painting exhibitions. In physical exercise, I like swimming, playing tennis and practicing walking. In terms of making friends, it is also "it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar." But he said: "although I have this hobby and that hobby, my first hobby is reading." Books are my lifelong friends, and reading is my first need in life. " Years old, but still read more than every day. The reason why he talks a lot may be a "solution".
The great philosopher Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." As a general, Zhou Keyu's "Confucianism" was also transformed into the power to run the army. For example, as the deputy director of the General Political Department and the political commissar of the General Logistics Department, he has many opinions on how to effectively do ideological and political work. He advocates liberating ideological and political work from the shackles of preaching, simplification and formalism, emphasizing increasing the cultural content of ideological and political work and shaping the beautiful hearts of soldiers with the help of various lively cultural activities. This glimpse of the leopard alone is enough for us to see the wisdom and intrigue of this Confucian general.
Write poems and learn words, sharpen your will and cultivate your mind.
On the cover of No.8 issue of Healthy Life 200/KLOC-0, General Zhou Keyu was introduced, and his calligraphy works were published with his own poem: "Don't be complacent because of your position/don't forget your hometown/be careful when your mother teaches me/never leave the farmer's son". This poem entitled "Local accent" was written by him when he was awarded the rank of general by the Central Military Commission in June 1994.
He has kept a diary since he was a teenager, and many of his diaries are written in poetry. On April 25th, 1945 was an unforgettable day for General Zhou Keyu, because on this day, he joined the China Producers Party from Yancheng Sheyang Middle School. On the night of 25th, he wrote a poem entitled "Morning Star" in his diary: "Miao Zhuang/Morning Star is bright this morning//The road ahead is wide/Morning Star is bright this morning//Mother knows best/She likes to hide in her chest/Morning Star is bright this morning/". If we say that what we see from this poem is only a middle school student who is only 16 years old, the innocence of new party member, and his sincerity to the party, then two years later, in the most tense period of the liberation war, Zhou Keyu served as an army instructor. He wrote this poem in the war, which can not only bring readers into the bullets, but also feel the heroic, brave and heroic spirit of this grass-roots commander.
General Zhou Keyu is a thoughtful and diligent man. During his revolutionary career of more than 50 years, he published more than 200 papers and wrote four or five hundred poems. 1997 published poetry anthology "Dream in Jinghuai" and prose anthology "Seeking Truth in Jinghuai". After reading these two books carefully, what you see is the footprints left by this general for half a century since he joined the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu at the age of 17 and left Beijing at the age of 66.
General Zhou Keyu has collected many famous calligraphy posts from ancient times to modern times, and reading these posts has become an important part of his life. His experience is that reading posts can often subtly integrate the calligraphy styles of ancient and modern masters. His understanding of calligraphy is: there is no fixed method for the law. Therefore, although he often puts the posts beside him when practicing calligraphy, he does not describe them one by one, but only shows his mind. He said: "Chinese characters are written by people, and everyone's characters should have their own characteristics and styles." One of his calligraphy friends said, "Ke Yu is an ordinary calligrapher. He practices calligraphy and thinks for a moment before he starts writing. Once he starts writing, he will do whatever he wants, and the weight will naturally come out. No matter the length of the work, it will be completed in one go. So his calligraphy is heroic; The fine print is exquisite and spiritual; Smooth throughout, without suspicion of affectation; Or line or squat, every word is dignified. " Appreciating his works, we can not only feel the sensitivity, charm and statutes of Confucianism, but also see people in the words and the seriousness, rigor and founder of the general in dealing with people.
Don't forget the people to serve the country and love the people.
For Li Yuanshuai, a Confucian general in the Spring and Autumn Period, it may be enough to write good poems, but for the general of the people's army under the leadership of China's * * * production party, his poetry, calligraphy and extensive knowledge alone are not enough to show his inner "Confucian general" demeanor. An important idea of Confucianism is to ask officials to "serve the country and love the people". The "Confucian generals" of the people's army should put the country first and the people first. This is particularly evident in Zhou Keyu.
Zhou Keyu was born in a poor peasant family in northern Jiangsu on 1929. He said: "One thing I remember most clearly when I was a child was my special desire to go to school." Although his family is sometimes too poor to open the pot, his parents still tighten their belts to live. 1936, when he was 7 years old, he was sent to a government-run rural primary school that only charged books and no tuition and fees. Later, I dropped out of school, transferred to another school, sent my students to school, and went to middle school intermittently. 194 1 year * * * the production party established a revolutionary base area in northern Jiangsu, and he began to accept revolutionary ideas. 1945, 16 years old Zhou Keyu was developed into party member. 1946, led the frontline team of migrant workers to participate in the Lianshui Defence War. From 65438 to 0947, he was transferred to the New Fourth Army and became an instructor in Yukou District, northern Jiangsu, and began his military career.
From instructor to general, the history has spanned 54 years, and Zhou Keyu has also been honed from a warm-blooded young man to an old general who has been working hard. Looking back on the ups and downs of this half century, he said thoughtfully: "Whether fighting with a gun in wartime or doing all kinds of work in peacetime, although I also consider some personal and family matters, the words' country' and' people' are like two lights flashing in my mind. As long as this lamp doesn't go out, I will know how to be a man and how to do things. "
People who know Zhou Keyu say that one of the spirits that runs through the general's life and work is "serving the country and loving the people". When talking about why he wanted to join the army, he said: "My youth was the period when the social order in old China was the most chaotic and the people suffered the most. Above is the dark rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and below is the wanton exploitation of landlords, tyrants and evil gentry. In addition, bandits run amok, villains run amok, extort money, and fish villagers; In particular, the Japanese invaded China, burning and looting. Ordinary people live a very difficult and painful life. * * * After the production party went to northern Jiangsu, it publicized' saving the country and the people'. These four words, like a fire, suddenly set me on fire. This is how I entered the * * * Production Party and the New Fourth Army, and I have been going until now. "
General Zhou Keyu not only used the lamps "country" and "people" to light up his own road, but also used them to light up the road of his children. His family education is very strict, and the highest requirement for children is to put the country first and the people first at all times. He sent his son and son-in-law to the front in the self-defense counterattack in 1979.
seminar
The New Fourth Army Research Association was founded by Comrade Li Yu in 1979. After the Cultural Revolution, Li Yu was recuperating in Guangzhou. When chatting with local people once, she was surprised to find that they didn't even know that the "New Fourth Army" was a famous army with the same name as the "Eighth Route Army" in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and was led by the * * * Production Party. Later, together with Peng Chong, Zhang zhen and other veterans of the New Fourth Army, he initiated the establishment of the New Fourth Army Research Association (full name: China New Fourth Army and Central China Anti-Japanese Base Area Research Association), with Ye Fei as the first president. This seminar is actually military-wide, because the study of the New Fourth Army is actually an important part of the study of our military history.
After the death of Ye Fei, Comrade Peng Chong took over as chairman, Fu Kuiqing, former political commissar of Nanjing Military Region, served as vice chairman, and Tan Bixing served as second vice chairman. In 2004, Peng Chong was nearly 90 years old, and the other vice-chairmen were all around 80 years old. At this time, the seminar discussed the need to find a younger veteran of the New Fourth Army as the chairman. After several selections, they finally decided to watch the growing Zhou Keyu.
"Mainly because his personal experience is closely related to the New Fourth Army, it is also his wish to be president. After taking over for more than two years, he traveled all over Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei and other base areas to pay tribute to history and cherish the memory of heroes and heroes. Not only did he listen to the commentator in detail, but sometimes he met stories and people he was familiar with, and he also supplemented and made suggestions in time. He is a restless, emotional and high-standard person. " Referring to this old leader, General Cai, the "right-hand man" of the New Fourth Army Research Association, the former deputy director of the Political Department of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, is also full of admiration.
"To tell you the truth, at that time I had worked in the General Logistics Department for six years, worked in the General Logistics Department for six years and stayed in the National People's Congress for five years. I hope to step down from all aspects such as ability and energy. The research institute (New Fourth Army) has a large stall and heavy tasks, and I'm afraid I can't do it. But then several old comrades talked to me repeatedly. I accepted the appointment because of my responsibility for history and my feelings for the New Fourth Army. "
Zhou Keyu didn't refuse again for another reason. As early as 1998, he was invited to attend the inaugural meeting of the Beijing New Fourth Army Research Association, which deeply shocked his soul. "I still remember that on the day of the press conference, I thought there would not be many people. As a result, more than 3,000 people came, and most of them were white-haired old people over 80 years old. Some of them came in wheelchairs. Because so many people came, even the aisle was crowded with people. The meeting was a great success. I think this is inseparable from the special battle course of the New Fourth Army itself. "
At the end of 2004, at the invitation of Peng Chong and others, Zhou Keyu, who had just left office, began to serve as the president of the New Fourth Army Research Association. Under his leadership, the long-planned "New Fourth Army Friendship Association" was held in Beijing, and Peng Chong attended and spoke. The following year, Zhou Keyu took over as president. At the beginning of 2006, the fourth executive meeting of the "New Fourth Army Research Association" was held, and the board of directors successfully passed the articles of association of the research association.
In order to better refine and sublimate the ideological connotation of "Iron Army Spirit" and make it better serve contemporary soldiers and young people from all walks of life, Zhou Keyu not only participated in important activities organized by the New Fourth Army Research Association in various places, but also went all the way to the old revolutionary areas and memorial sites where the New Fourth Army fought, such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Jiangxi and Hubei. Wherever he went, he would go to the homes of veterans and survivors of the New Fourth Army. When Zhou Keyu said "walking", he didn't mean "going through the motions". He really practiced and made field trips, so he spared no expense to travel thousands of miles, rain or shine. "I remember once going to the cemetery of General Yang Chengwu in Changting, Fujian, when it was raining heavily. We asked if we could hold the ceremony in the car so that we didn't have to get off. When he heard this, he looked angry. He waved his hand and said loudly, get off! In this way, we visited the cemetery of General Yang Chengwu with him in the rain that day. Since then, we have known what to do when we go anywhere and encounter heavy rain. " A comrade who works beside Zhou Keyu told reporters this way.
It is Zhou Keyu's work style that leads by example that constantly infects and drives the comrades around him. This mass academic group that publicizes and promotes the "Iron Army Spirit" is also practicing the "Iron Army Spirit" and carrying it forward to a new height.
