1February, 939, Yu Xiqu joined the China * * * production party through Yu's introduction. Shortly after joining the party, he became the branch secretary of Yongping Township (now Yongxin Village). Under the leadership of the Party organizations at higher levels, they adhered to the anti-Japanese national united front, skillfully fought against various reactionary forces, appeared shamelessly, jointly organized the Jingping team, and mastered the armed forces in the village. Organize the masses to build water conservancy projects, rescue famine through production, and help each other, so as to benefit farmers and consolidate and develop party organizations. The party's influence among the masses is expanding day by day, and its revolutionary position is constantly consolidated, making the Party branch in Yongping Township an important turning point in the revolutionary activities in the Chaocheng Rao Plain.
1August, 948, Deputy Secretary of Raoping County Committee, Ren Chao City, Xiqu. During this period, he worked hard to restore and develop the Party's cultural and educational position, established a new revolutionary turning point, developed underground militia organizations, opened up communication lines in plains and mountainous areas, actively mobilized the masses to join the army, borrow guns and raise food, and did a lot of work for the main forces in mountainous areas to transport troops, arm and feed. Through his efforts, Yang, a famous pirate in Fujian and Guangdong, abandoned the darkness and turned to the revolution. Zhuo Jiji, the squadron leader of the Police Training Institute of Shantou Police Department, led a team (87 guns) uprising, which shocked the whole Chaoshan area. The enemy was shocked and confused, and the masses were greatly encouraged.
1May, 949, Yu Xiqu was appointed as member of Zhongjiang Hanjiang District Committee and deputy director of organization department. In July of the same year, he served as member and organization minister of Chaocheng Rao Branch of Zhongjiang Chaoshan District Committee. On the eve of the siege of the Confederate army and the liberation of Chaoshan, Yu Xiqu was ordered to come forward and negotiate with Chen, commander of the first column and head of the first regiment of the Guangdong appeasement office of the Kuomintang, as a representative of the frontier and the longitudinal. After several contacts, the negotiations were finally successful in the evenings of 10 and 2 1. 23, published newspapers, announced that Chen led the uprising. The success of this negotiation reduced the resistance of our army to liberate Chenghai. 654381October 24th, Chenghai County was liberated, and Yu Xiqu led a team into the city to take over the work. 654381October 25th, People's Republic of China (PRC) Chaomei Management Committee established Chenghai County People's Government by order, and appointed Yu Xiqu as the chairman and county magistrate of Chenghai County Management Committee. 1953 10 served as deputy secretary and county magistrate of Chenghai County Committee.
In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Comrade Yu Xiqu was firm in his belief, loyal to the Party, and persisted in the revolutionary struggle in a difficult environment, which made great contributions to the development and growth of the Party organization and the liberation of Chenghai and even Chaoshan. At the same time, due to his long-term creative work in complex struggles and special tests and exercises, his revolutionary struggle art and leadership ability have been comprehensively improved, laying the foundation for effective leadership after liberation.

Chenghai has just been liberated, covered in scars and everything is ready. As the first county magistrate, Yu Xiqu adhered to the purpose of "building the party for the public and governing for the people" and always put the fundamental interests of the people first. In order to eliminate the drought and flood disasters in Chenghai and Chaoshan areas and change the face of poverty and backwardness, he devoted almost all his energy to the projects of leveling land, building water conservancy projects and building stable and high-yield farmland. Water control-fundamentally changing agricultural production conditions is the greatest contribution of Yuxi Canal to Chenghai people and Chaoshan people.
Chenghai lies in the lower reaches of the Han River. The Hanjiang River is divided into seventeen tributaries that flow through Chenghai County (the jurisdiction in the early days of liberation), and Chenghai County is divided into isolated small continents. Its flood, drought, wind and tidal disasters are serious, ranking first among counties in eastern Guangdong. As Yu Xiqu wrote in "Song of Water Control": "In late spring, the fields are hard, and moths are on the dead leaves; In the early summer, the long night is windy and rainy, and the straw is soaked in the wild ocean; The autumn tide is full of salt in winter, and the people in the continent are in disaster. " In order to eliminate floods and droughts, he "went to the countryside to visit agriculture and earnestly sought warmth and coldness"; "in the morning, I am involved in the lotus peak water, and I will go to Yanggang in the evening." Whenever it rains, he puts on a raincoat and rides a bicycle, from the county seat to the seaside, from the upper reaches of the Han River to the lower reaches of the tributaries, observing the terrain and understanding the water situation. Where it is high and low, where there is water, where it can be flooded, where it is afraid of drought, where it can be irrigated by water, and collect hydrological data extensively. I also visited experienced old people and learned the experience of flood control and drought prevention. Over the years, he traveled all over the county, made an in-depth investigation on the water flow, soil and topography of the county, went deep into the countryside during the day, studied water conservancy books at night, solicited opinions from many parties, and formulated a blueprint for developing water conservancy and eliminating water disasters in Chenghai County. According to this blueprint, he led the people of Chenghai in their efforts to "cut Niuxikou in the south, Liyuzhou in the north, Dongpeng River in the west beach, and move eastward to Shabatou". In the spirit of "Dare to laugh at Dayu without precedent", the Hanjiang River 17 tributaries flowing into the county seat were reduced to six, and many projects such as irrigation and drainage, salt drainage and moisture prevention were built, which affected hundreds of thousands of acres along the coast. Coupled with the implementation of a series of measures to increase agricultural production, in the drought year of 1955, agricultural production achieved a bumper harvest, Chenghai became the first batch of double-cropping rice in China, and the grain yield per unit area was the first in China in 1957. During his tenure as the county magistrate of Chenghai, Yu Xiqu really worked hard to change the backward appearance of natural disasters such as spring drought, summer waterlogging, autumn tide and winter drought in Chenghai, and build stable and high-yield farmland. His achievements are well known and will be engraved in the hearts of the people forever.
After June of 1954, Yu Xiqu was transferred to the post of Deputy Director of Agriculture Department of Guangdong Administrative Office and Deputy Commissioner of Shantou Commissioner's Office, and served as Secretary of the Secretariat of Shantou Municipal Committee in the winter of 196 1. His position changed when he went to work in regional organs, but he still maintained and carried forward his excellent ideological style and work style when he worked at the grassroots level. He is in charge of agriculture, forestry and water conservancy. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the Party, he insisted on going deep into reality, investigating and studying, visiting the production line in person, carefully observing the situation, and showing everything from point to area. In order to make full use of land, develop agricultural production, and solve the contradiction between population and land shortage in Chaoshan area, in the spring of 1958, he led a special working group to enter Chenghai Guanshan to mobilize the masses to carry out large-scale land leveling and comprehensive management of cultivated land. Guan Shanping's experience in improving soil caused a sensation throughout the country. Twenty-two provincial and municipal delegations came to visit and study, and some leading comrades of the Central Committee also came to pass the mountain. In the winter of 1959 and 1960, 18 intercropping methods and winter crop quadrats were popularized in Guanshan successively. In addition, in Waisha, southern Jiangsu and other places, cultivated land has been landscaped and regionalized, and on-site demonstration and promotion have been carried out, which has promoted the development of agriculture in the whole region.
1958 to 1959 In the winter and spring, in order to completely solve the irrigation and traffic problems, Yuxi Canal led the people of Chenghai to build the "Three Bridges". In the first battle, he built the outer sand bridge (sluice). Based on his years of accumulated experience in water control and soil improvement, he creatively used indigenous methods. After leveling the foundation with sand on the sandy river bed, he tamped the composite bridge foundation with shellfish ash sand, demolished the old Chenghai city wall and built piers. Compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese heard that the Waisha Bridge would be built and donated a lot of cement. At that time, there was a shortage of steel bars, so steel bars of different sizes and lengths saved by "drought resistance" could only be forged into bridge deck steel bars by blacksmiths. With the cooperation of Qi Xin, this 620-meter-long bridge gate with a hole of 106 was miraculously built after 30 days and nights of fighting. Subsequently, according to the experience of building the sluice of Waisha Bridge, Yang Lian Bridge (sluice) and Dongli Bridge (sluice) were built one after another. "Flying three Changhong in a year" and "Since then, the river has been as it wishes, not going east or west", which has enabled Chenghai to realize automatic irrigation and drainage of water conservancy ahead of schedule, and at the same time changed the traffic conditions of Shantou-Zhangzhou Highway.

Yuxi Canal has always adhered to the style of seeking truth and being pragmatic, diligent and pragmatic, persistently led the masses to work hard, and truly achieved "serving as an official and benefiting one party".
In leading agricultural production and fighting against various natural disasters and difficulties, he always takes the lead, personally directs the scene and decisively solves problems. 1955 During the drought in March, he went to Waisha, Chenghai County to lead the blockade of the Han River. When the dragon boat was about to close, it was already midnight, and a wooden boat at the mouth of the river overturned, with twelve people on board. Yu Xiqu saw this scene and said, "Go into the water to save people." Without even taking off his clothes, he took the lead in jumping into the river and rescued the farmers who fell into the water one by one. 1In the summer of 956, the Hanjiang River soared. The culvert gate of Xiaochangqiao in Anbu, Chao 'an is in danger, and a large field in Chenghai County, east of the Han River, is about to be flooded. At this critical moment, he personally jumped into the torrent of the Han River, found the danger, prescribed the right medicine, and took emergency measures to turn the culvert gate into safety. On this day, he has been sticking to the scene, working from morning until eleven o'clock in the evening, without even eating a bite of rice. In May, 1960, Longjing Reservoir in Jieyang County was hit by a rainstorm of more than 700 mm, and the culvert of the upper dam was in danger, and the nearby inner slope collapsed, and some places collapsed more than ten meters, which seriously threatened the safety of the dam. In this case, Yuxi Canal still stuck to the dam and stayed outside the fire line for seven days and seven nights without a good sleep. When the culvert head was in danger, he personally went forward to inspect the danger and study the countermeasures. Local cadres and migrant workers tried to pull him back many times, but he refused. Afterwards, everyone criticized him: "You are the commander and you shouldn't go to such a dangerous place." He said; "Commander can't rely on a mouth, where is the most dangerous, just go there. Just shout with your mouth, rescue, who listens to you! "
In the autumn of 196 1, a strong typhoon with the magnitude of 1 1 or above swept through Chaoshan, resulting in the death of more than 30 seawalls in Chenghai county1and the flooding of more than 10,000 mu of rice. Gap Brigade was the hardest hit, with 75 seawalls destroyed, and only 30% of the grain crops with 1 10,000 mu had a good harvest. Just when the people felt pessimistic and negative, Yu Xiqu rushed there to help the people save themselves in production, lead the cadres and the masses to repair the seawall, and suggested planting salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant sweet potatoes. And put forward to plant and manage crops well with disaster-resistant enthusiasm and embroidery skills. Yu Xiqu's opinion was practical and won the support of the broad masses, and production soon resumed. As a result, the Gap brigade survived, and a large number of sweet potatoes were sold, which became a banner of self-help in production in the whole region.
1963 In the spring, there was a great drought in the whole region, and many places could not plant seedlings, making it difficult to complete spring planting. Yu Xiqu led the working group to visit some communes with the worst drought, and discussed ways to overcome difficulties and solve the contradiction of drought-resistant water use with local cadres and masses, and helped solve it according to local conditions, which not only ensured the timely sowing and management of spring crops, but also promoted the unity of the masses.
In the year of the Great Leap Forward, Yu Xiqu actively and skillfully resisted blind command. At that time, high-yield measures such as "Hehe", "All over the sky" and "Shuanglong going out to sea" were promoted everywhere, and high-yield satellites were released one after another. The province organized an investigation to a county. The county reported that the average yield of rice per mu reached 3,000 Jin, and a "high-yield satellite" with an yield of 60,000 Jin per mu was also in place. Of course, there will inevitably be some actions on the scene, deceiving many people, but people with eyes can see it. A responsible comrade in the province asked Yu Xiqu: "Do you think it's okay to produce 3000 Jin per mu?" Yu Xiqu pondered for a long time and replied, "I think the yield per mu is below 3000 Jin." As soon as this quip came out, it caused people present to smile knowingly. After the meeting, Yu Xiqu said to Chenghai's cadres: "The experience of learning Chaoshan in the whole province is that Chaoshan only grows five or six hundred kilograms, and high-yield fields are eight or nine hundred kilograms. The yield per mu of these "satellite" fields will not exceed four or five hundred kilograms. Knowing that it is false, go and learn from him? " In order to let the masses know that "the sky is full of stars" and "rice combination" is not feasible, that autumn, he gave a very interesting live "demonstration": a small piece was a scene of "rice combination", and a few days later, the rice leaves deteriorated and gave off a musty smell; One is high-density planting and seedling raising. Similarly, some seedlings died a few days later, and some seedlings had leaves, which was as bad as "hehe". This "demonstration" made leaders at all levels clear-headed, thus avoiding undue losses.

Since Yu Xiqu took the leadership position, he has always been honest and upright, always maintained the integrity of party member, correctly exercised his power, and always cared about the sufferings of the masses. Taking "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" as the creed of life, it is more important to really care about the masses than to care about yourself.
Yu Xiqu often said: "The level of a cadre's position cannot explain the advantages and disadvantages of a cadre. The important criterion is whether you can lead the masses to live a good life. " Therefore, he often uses this standard to measure himself, always caring for people's lives and sufferings. In the three years of economic difficulties, he went deep into the grassroots and worked day and night to solve people's living difficulties. He scrimped and saved money and sponsored public welfare undertakings for the masses. He was edema due to lack of nutrition and didn't consider treatment. The leaders of the prefectural party Committee sent him to the hospital for treatment, but he secretly went to the countryside to work with the masses and created many ways to help them tide over the difficulties. 196 1 65438+February, when Yu Xiqu returned home, the brigade cadres saw that he was ill and weak, and brought him two fish to eat, which he politely refused. He said: "Now is the post-disaster period, and people's lives are very difficult. I can't be special! " After the Spring Festival that year, Yu Xiqu squatted in the southwest of Xi. On a cold night, the water controller released a net fish in Haitou and accidentally caught a big eel weighing 28 Jin. Everyone was very happy that their lives had improved, and said to Yu Xiqu, "Let's have dinner together at noon and try eel." Yu Xiqu was very happy and said, "It's good to cook garlic with eel!" Then he added, "Cut it into 57 pieces." Everyone is confused. He said, "Didn't you find 57 patients with edema a few days ago? Let commune cadres go door to door, and we won't stay. " Everyone understood what he meant and did it one by one.
After Yu Xiqu was transferred to the administrative office, he still maintained a hard and simple life style when he was a barefoot county magistrate. When he went to the administrative office as the deputy director of the agricultural department, he was wearing waterproof tarpaulin and a pair of amphibious slippers under his feet. When he became the deputy Commissioner of the administrative office and the secretary of the prefectural party committee secretariat, he still lived a frugal life. The house I live in is small, with simple furnishings, a bed, a table, a chair, a bookcase and a suitcase. Sleeping on a wooden bed, there is only a straw mat, a thin quilt and a single mosquito net made of earth. On one occasion, the responsible comrades of the prefectural party Committee visited him at his home and found that the quilt he covered was too thin and there was nothing to pad on the bed. They wanted to bring him a quilt, but he insisted on not. He said half jokingly and half seriously, "If you live too comfortably at home, you won't want to go to the countryside." He often takes short trips to the countryside by bike, wears clothes and eats light food. He is hard-working, simple in life, not special, and requires his family to do the same. Since liberation, although he worked in the city, he left his wife and children in the countryside to take part in labor. In the long-term underground struggle and guerrilla warfare, Yu Xiqu suffered from chronic diseases such as kidney disease and gastric ulcer. Some comrades suggested that he take his family to live in the city so that he could take care of him in life. However, Yu Xiqu disagreed. He believes that his wife and children can create wealth for the country by staying in the countryside to participate in productive labor. If they do nothing in the city, they will become consumers and increase the burden on the country and people. His family has a large population and a small labor force, so his eldest son, who has not graduated from primary school, goes home to participate in agricultural production. Every time he goes home, he always helps the family plan expenses and never lets the production team give any special care to the family. He often tells his wife and children: "You are family members of cadres, and you are easily treated differently by members and leading cadres. Be careful. The team has difficulties, we must go forward bravely, but we must fall behind in dividing things. " He set such an example for them everywhere. At the beginning of 1957, the village high-level cooperative lacked funds, so he gave his wife more than 300 yuan to invest in the cooperative. When the power station of the brigade generates electricity, more than 100 team members are first equipped with electric lights, and two lights are given to him for home decoration. Knowing this, he said to the brigade cadres: "Our village 1500 households. When everyone has electric lights, let's settle down for the family. The life of our cadres cannot exceed that of the general public! " Under his influence, his family is not only famous for its diligence and thrift, but also loves labor and the collective. The wife was rated as a "five good" member, and the eldest son went out full-time every month, never ignoring the importance; When my daughter came back from school, she also took part in auxiliary labor and has been doing it steadily. Later, when her eldest brother joined the army, she picked up his hoe and took part in agricultural labor.

Although Yu Xiqu was born as a farmer and his education level was not high, he loved ancient and modern novels such as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, and often talked with villagers about the past and the present. He loves literature and art and is endowed with artistic talent. He is good at combining real life and using cultural and artistic forms to carry out publicity and education activities. As early as the democratic revolution, he used literature and art as a weapon to expose the enemy and educate the people, and created many folk songs, such as "Ao Yu Ci" and "Selling Charcoal Song", which were widely circulated among the people. By organizing lantern riddles, staging "colorful scenes before the gods" and swimming in the fish dance, we can unite the people and attack the enemy. After liberation, he attached great importance to the construction of local culture, cared for and supported literary and artistic talents, and laid a solid foundation for Chenghai's cultural undertakings. He even personally created many poems and small performances such as Amro's Half-Night Thinking about the Past, Water Control Song, which were deeply loved and praised by the masses. His "Commissioner's Drama" was closer to life and the masses and became a beautiful literary landscape at that time.
1960 During the difficult economic period in China, Yu Xiqu led the prefectural party committee working group to stay in Guanshan to help the people tide over the famine. In order to boost morale, strengthen confidence and carry out socialist education, Yu Xiqu personally created the Chaozhou opera "Cold Dragon's Tongue", which was performed all over Chenghai and was well received by the audience and achieved obvious educational effects. Then, he created Han River and Tides in the Coast, both of which were great successes. Coastal Tide was well received after its performance in Guangzhou, and Yangcheng Evening News and Nanfang Daily successively published several commentary articles. The script was published by Guangdong People's Publishing House, and the cultural part was distributed to more than 0/0 troupes in China, including Chao Opera, Han Opera, Shan Opera, Hua Opera and Yue Opera, which had a wide influence. He created eight large-scale modern Chaozhou dramas, seven of which were put on the stage by professional troupes. His dramatic works, with rural life as the theme, have a strong flavor of life and local color, vivid artistic language, rich ideological content and strong characteristics of the times, which make people learn a lot and play a very good role, and are praised as "Commissioner's Drama" by the masses. What's more commendable is that these plays were not written after work, but he wrote them in his spare time after busy work.
In order to summarize and introduce the achievements and experiences of agricultural production and popularize the knowledge of agricultural science, Yu Xiqu wrote a large number of agricultural popular science poems, some of which were accompanied by paintings, and published in Nanfang Daily, Works and Shantou Daily. 1962 organized a large-scale exhibition "field literature and art". The exhibition skillfully combines science with literature and art, and adopts various artistic techniques such as poetry, books, paintings, prose, embroidery, porcelain inlay, tulle, colored lights, paper-cutting, fragrant plastic, bonsai and so on. It not only vividly highlights the exhibition effect, but also promotes excellent traditional culture. Tens of thousands of people visited the exhibition, and the audience not only came from all over Guangdong, but also specially organized personnel from agriculture, propaganda and culture departments to visit. It has the reputation of "agricultural literature and art, and a hundred flowers blossom".
Yu Xiqu is infinitely loyal to the party's cause and serves the people wholeheartedly, which has been fully affirmed by party organizations at all levels in the central, provincial and autonomous regions. 1in the spring of 963, the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee established Comrade Yu Xiqu as a model party member, and issued a notice to the provincial party organizations, calling on the cadres in party member of the province to learn from Comrade Yu Xiqu. Nanfang Daily also reported on the front page of March 3 1 of the same year. Red Flag magazine and Shantou Daily also published Yu Xiqu's exemplary deeds. Yu Xiqu was elected as the representative of the Third People's Congress of Guangdong Province with 1963; 1964 was elected as a deputy to the Third National People's Congress.
1965 Yu Xiqu was transferred to the position of Deputy Director of Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture. Just as he was in his prime, he was able to give full play to his talents and do more things for the party and the people, but he was faced with the arrival of the "Cultural Revolution" storm. He was framed and destroyed in the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution. 1968, 16 was persecuted and died in June at the age of 5 1.
Yu Xiqu's life is a life of revolution, hard struggle and selfless dedication. He is loyal to the cause of the party and devoted to the interests of the people. He is strict with himself, and he is very concerned about the sufferings of the masses. He has always maintained the true colors of working people and public servants, and is closely linked with the people. He is hardworking, honest, law-abiding and selfless, serving the public and the people. His noble demeanor will always be worthy of our memory; His noble moral character and the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly are always worth learning!
