During the revolutionary war years, comrades were successively praised as "Five Old Men in Soviet Area" and "Five Old Men in Yan 'an". Dong Lao not only made outstanding contributions to China's revolution and construction, but also made great achievements in China's classical poetry, calligraphy and cultural history. Recently, I read Dong Lao's poems, and I was deeply educated and deeply touched. After the founding of New China, Dong Lao attached great importance to greening and strongly advocated afforestation.
By writing poems about afforestation, he planted green seeds in people's hearts. In his own words, he shared some work for afforestation and let more people participate in the great cause of greening the motherland. 1964 65438+ 10, 79-year-old Dong Lao visited Hubei, during which he has been paying attention to forestry and thinking about its development.
He made two suggestions at the Hubei Forestry Symposium, both of which were written in the form of poems, which were easy to understand and fascinating. On October 8th, 65438, 10, he wrote a poem "Forestry should be Vigorously Developed in Rural Areas", with 32 lines in total, and put forward complete suggestions on planting trees in rural areas, especially on the issue of forest rights, encouraging the determination of forest rights and insisting on "whoever plants it has it".
The policy that trees planted by individual farmers are owned by individuals in order to improve the enthusiasm of the masses for afforestation. Today, these views are still very instructive. He wrote in his poem: "According to regulations, forest rights are both private and public. Collective team-building convention has great responsibility for forest protection. Seeing the needle, the ground is not free ... thirty years, my eyes are full of green.
Trees are useful and resources are inexhaustible. On June 4th, 65438 +65438 10, Dong Lao wrote a poem entitled "Planting Trees by Railway and Highway", with 56 lines and five parts. Taking poetry as a substitute, he expounded the significance of road greening to benefit the country and the people. "Next to railways and highways, there is potential for planting trees ... there are beautiful scenery, which should be suitable or not. From an economic point of view, roads must be in harmony with trees ... there are 500 thousand roads, and hundreds of millions are true.
