-Comrade Liu Gengnong's Essay
The understanding with Comrade Geng Nong began at 198 1. At that time, he served as secretary of the county party Committee, and I worked in the county party Committee office. After retirement, due to similar interests, I have a lot of contacts in my life. Especially in recent years, several things have hit my heart from time to time, and my understanding of Comrade Geng Nong seems to have been sublimated. His clothes, sympathy for farmers, generous mood and personality orientation of ordinary people have influenced many people like the Social Enlightener. Especially when some parts of the healthy body of the party and the country are still festering, this spirit is even more commendable.
Comrade Liu Gengnong was the former secretary of Pucheng County Party Committee. 1947 participated in the revolution. In the 50 years since liberation, his work has gone from local to provincial party committee (4 years), from provincial party committee to central ministry of agriculture and industry (1 1 year), and he returned to provincial party committee in 1965. During the "Cultural Revolution", he sent Yao County to the countryside for three years, and transferred to Weinan in 1978. Although he had several opportunities to work in the ministries and agencies during his tenure in Pucheng, he declined them politely. He said that it is better to do something tangible for the people at the grassroots level. Besides, although I am from another county, I went to school in Pucheng. I embarked on the revolutionary road from Pucheng, which is my second hometown. In Pucheng, the leaves have fallen to their roots. Today, he is 75 years old. Supposedly, it's time to retire and live a quiet life. However, Comrade Geng Nong always blends into social groups as an ordinary citizen, rides a bicycle, shuttles through the streets, stretches freely and naturally, and gets off and chats cordially when he meets acquaintances. Many people who know him say that Comrade Geng Nong is not like an official. Unlike some people who have been officials for a few days, they are condescending and arrogant. They seem to stand out from the crowd and have an invisible gap with ordinary people. After his retirement, Comrade Geng Nong still made silent contributions to the society with Sang Yu feelings rare among his peers. He is the honorary chairman of the county book association. Under his planning and efforts, the county old-age painting and calligraphy society and poetry couplets society were established. He has other social work. Practice calligraphy at home on weekdays, cultivate interest, write poems and express feelings. He often laments his lack of knowledge, loves books, studies tirelessly, and goes to some comrades' homes unabashedly to seek new knowledge and exchange ideas. Comrades who have contacts with him say that he is kind and sincere, like an ordinary person.
China's biggest problem is the problem of farmers, because he works for a long time. His heart will always be filled with peasants, the main body of China's real life. He remembers the immortal poem written by Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Pucheng, "Worrying about Li Yuan in poor years, sighing hot in the intestines" ("Reciting 500 words from Beijing to Fengxian"). When I was working in the Provincial Party Committee and the Central Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, I published many articles on farmers and rural issues in People's Daily and Shaanxi Daily. Pucheng 1980 was an active executor of rural reform and land contract. After retiring, he tirelessly pursued a new realm with amazing perseverance and perseverance. He sorted out and selected 65,438+000 poems of sympathy for farmers in past dynasties from such monographs as The Source of Ancient Poems, All Poems of Tang Dynasty and Selected Poems of Past Dynasties, and wrote them with a brush, and printed them into volumes at the expense of the society. At present, some places infringe on farmers' interests and increase their burden. If our cadres see this selection of poems, can't they shake their sympathy? Not long ago, Comrade Geng Nong sent me a series of articles written by Li Changping, Party Secretary of Pan Qi Town, Jianli County, Hubei Province, in June 65438+1October 65438+February last year, which he copied from Southern Weekend. When he told me the problems reflected in the printed matter, he was very angry and choked up with tears. He expressed his appreciation for General Secretary Jiang's "recognition of the need to reduce the burden on farmers to such a high position". He also appreciated Premier Zhu Rongji's instructions, that is, to maintain rural stability, the land should not be moved, negative but not heavy, food prices should not be low, and cadres should not be fierce. He also sent a copy to the relevant leaders of the county for reference. It can be seen that it pays attention to farmers and rural issues. Wang Bo, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote a sentence in "Preface to the Farewell of Qiu Teng and Wang Ge": "I would rather be tempted when I am old and strong; If you are poor, you will change your mind, and you will never lose your ambition. "I think Comrade Geng Nong's old and diligent spirit is the best annotation.
The summer before last, Comrade Geng Nong revealed that he wanted to write a memoir of several periods of history that affected his life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of February last year, 65438+ saw a manuscript with a title of about 65438+ ten thousand words, which was printed into a book. He checked it himself and spent more than 2000 yuan to print 100 copies. I met him the other day and learned that many people wanted books. I'll print 50 more copies. Su Shi, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, said: "Where is life, just like Hong Fei stepping through the snow; I accidentally left my fingers and claws in the mud, and Hong Fei was counting things. " Snow mud claw is an idiom derived from this poem. Comrade Geng Nong said that he "has never been crazy about writing books" and only wanted to use it as a basis to encourage future progress and improvement. Yes, the manuscript is very simple and elegant, as well as poems, essays, lectures, essays and so on. Let you convincingly find the author's footprint in the author's revolutionary career of more than 50 years. After reading the manuscript, I seem to feel that the author has a sense of urgency aroused by late love, as if there is a force urging him to struggle for a poor year. At the same time, I think anyone who has read the manuscript will be moved by the author's common heart, which is open-minded and humiliating. This is better than those extraordinary people who pieced together the manuscript drafted by the secretary into a book, wrote their own names, and then skillfully used their power to plan, print, publish and distribute it without spending a penny.
