Advanced deeds of Mao Xianglin 1
Xiazhuang Village is located in a huge sinkhole in Zhu Xian Township, Wushan County, Chongqing, and is now merged with the original Lianghe Village. The population of the whole village is 176 households and 7 16 people. Among them, there are 96 households with 397 people living in tiankeng. Once in Xiazhuang, there was a jingle: Xiazhuang is as deep as thousands of feet. My eyes will faint when I walk back and forth. I don't know how many years and generations this folk song has been circulated. It is not only an image portrayal of xia zhuang's natural environment and geomorphological features, but also a true reflection of xia zhuang people's living conditions. If people in the village want to leave the village, they have to walk through a narrow path with a total of 108 bends on the cliffs, and it takes three days to get to the county seat. Before this "Heavenly Road" was opened, there were 153 people in this village of more than 300 people who had never been to the county seat, and even 50 people had never left the village. I don't know what a road car is. There are only three high school students in the village for decades, and Xiazhuang people dream of walking out of the mountains.
1997 in July of the lunar calendar, Mao Xianglin, secretary of the Party branch and village director, came back from the training class for village cadres held by Wushan County Committee, sat on the rock mouth at an altitude of1300m and looked at Xiazhuang in the tiankeng. Mao Xianglin kept asking himself: The life of Xiazhuang people is getting tighter and tighter. Many young people who go out to work are gone forever, and there are more and more bachelors left, making it more and more difficult to find a wife. Is xia zhuang stuck in this "bottom hole" forever? Am I just a little shorter than others? Looking at the huge rock "XiaoLon" looking straight at the sky in the distance, my heart is full of plans to build expressway. "The hairy dwarf is crazy. His ancestors only felt it. How dare he do this? " When Gang Lin in Maoxiang proposed to build a highway, the villagers talked about it in succession. Some people doubt, some people worry, some people laugh.
Under the leadership of Mao Xianglin, 19971February 12 was a cold day. With Mao Xianglin's order, Xiazhuang people broke out at the first sight, challenging the mountains, the isolation and the poverty. When building roads, there were only more than 80 laborers in the village, using the most primitive tools, such as steel drills, hoes and dustpans. They broke these primitive methods with their shoulders and moved forward inch by inch. At the cost of six lives and countless days and nights of villagers Shen Qingfu and Huang Huiyuan, the villagers in xia zhuang just cut through the sinkhole and carved a "heavenly road" on the cliff with their flesh and blood. Their feat of building roads was reported continuously by the original Wanzhou Daily, and the spirit of "Xiazhuang" was extracted: diligence, friendliness, dedication and self-improvement. It was exhibited in Wanzhou, Chongqing, Hubei and other places in the form of photo exhibition, which caused a national sensation.
The advanced deeds of Mao Xianglin II
Mao Xianglin is short, but his will is as strong as a rock. There are five people in his family. His wife has been ill for a long time and his mother is over 70 years old. Building roads, he is a village cadre and must concentrate on the construction site. In the evening, he asked his wife to do ideological work. The wife complained: "You are old and young, and several people in the family are looking at you with their mouths open. Do you still want to build roads? " There is no choice but to find his mother. The mother, an old party member, gave her son full support: "Don't worry, just do it and give some face. If the road is not repaired, I will find you; Something happened at home, you want to see me. "
In order to build roads, Mao Xianglin ate and lived on the construction site day and night, sharing weal and woe with the villagers. In order to build roads, he "misappropriated" his mother 700 yuan's pension money, and borrowed more than RMB 1000 from the credit union in his own name ... Once, the explosives and detonators on the construction site were almost used up, and the work was about to stop. Mao Xianglin came home and asked his wife to take out the 3,000 yuan that her sister had left at home to buy materials. The wife who has always been docile is very determined: "No." Mao Xianglin's whispering has no effect, and it's on fire again. I couldn't help pushing my wife forward. She stumbled and almost fell. The wife jumped up and wrestled with her husband. Later, under the mediation of my mother, my wife promised to take my sister's money for emergency.
Xiazhuang people have an indomitable temper. Mao Xianglin has this kind of character.
In the past, Xiazhuang village was still self-sufficient, and the villagers did not lack food or meat all year round. However, Ruan Village, a neighboring poor village, has developed the flue-cured tobacco industry by exporting labor services, which is becoming more and more prosperous. Xiazhuang village, which was originally envied by others, was gradually left behind and became a poor village. He led the surrounding villagers to learn from the scriptures, learn from development experience and find suitable industries. Planting flue-cured tobacco? No, Xiazhuang village is three or four hundred meters above sea level. No, develop gastrodia elata cultivation? No, the cost is high, and the geographical and climatic conditions are not suitable. On one occasion, he went to Quchi Township to attend a live meeting and found that the local citrus trees were growing well. Villagers earn tens of thousands of yuan a year by planting oranges and small fruits. Upon inquiry, citrus is suitable for middle and low altitude planting, and xia zhuang is suitable. In 20 13, a 500-mu citrus orchard in Xiazhuang Village was basically formed.
"Only when the road is connected and the car is connected can someone connect and finance." Zhang Zeyan, a teacher of Xiazhuang Village School who participated in the whole road construction, told reporters that since the completion of the road, more than 20 college students have left the village, and some of them have attended famous universities. There is a beautiful primary school in the village. Students can not only study in a spacious and bright classroom like children in the city, but also have computers and can surf the Internet at any time. Zhang Zeyan said that with the opening of the mountain road, more and more young people go to the mountains to explore the world, and the villagers' ideas are also undergoing tremendous changes. The villagers planted fruit trees and watermelons and sold them outside the mountain. Everyone's life is getting better and better. Nowadays, televisions, washing machines and smart phones are not rare things, and some people have bought private cars.
Xiazhuang village is a 20 15 poverty-stricken village. With the help of the County Communications Commission and the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the industrial planning of Xiazhuang Village is clear and the industrial development has reached a new level. "On the basis of consolidating 300 mu of flue-cured tobacco, the village has developed 500 mu of citrus; Workers are also encouraged to go out to work ... "Mao Xianglin said that in addition to industry, the village's infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads and sanitation has also been greatly improved, and the villagers are full of confidence in getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. "Our village must ensure that it will get rid of poverty this year and basically achieve a well-off society in two or three years." Mao Xianglin told reporters that the village is also preparing to build an education base of "Xiazhuang Spirit", develop the eco-tourism industry and let the villagers eat tourism meals.
To get rich, build roads first. The road will be wide and the wheels will roll. At the end of last century, the first road built by Xiazhuang people could only be used by motorcycles and small agricultural vehicles. Whenever it rains, falling rocks and mudslides roll on the mountains, often blocking traffic. This 8-kilometer-long highway has narrowed the distance between Xiazhuang Village and the outside world. But I still can't bear the heavy responsibility of making Xiazhuang Village rich. Seeing that the roads in other villages were busy and the roads in his own village were in disrepair, Mao Xianglin decided to lead the villagers to renovate the roads again.
On may 8th, 20 15, Mao Xianglin and 24 Xiazhuang warriors who had participated in the construction of the 8km "road of life and death" stepped forward to lead the young people in the village to widen and transform the Xiazhuang mountain road. The road is narrow and wide. When the curve is in a hurry, go straight ... You can always see Mao Xianglin busy at the scene of road reconstruction. Sometimes, he turns shovels and hoes with the villagers; Sometimes, he and technicians sit on the side of the road and stare at what the drawings refer to. In the past few months, the 2-meter-wide tractor-ploughed road has become a 3-meter-long gravel road.
"We used to build roads to get out of the sinkhole and see the outside world." Mao Xianglin's language is very straightforward. He never mentioned the words "Xiazhuang Spirit". "The road was built 18 years ago. Villagers can go out and see the outside world, so that future generations will no longer be ignorant." Mao Xianglin said that the road to industrial development is being built, and the channels for people to get rich have also been broadened. In the past, the traffic was not smooth enough and the transportation cost was high. Many vegetables and cash crops cannot be sold. Now, it can be developed vigorously. In short, let the villagers no longer be poor, and get rid of poverty and get rich together to run a well-off society. But we are convinced that xia zhuang people's fighting spirit, tenacious struggle and self-reliance have long been immersed in their flesh and blood. Mao Xianglin is one of them and one of the representatives.
Mao Xianglin's advanced deeds 3
Mao Xianglin is currently the director of the village committee of Zhu Xian Village, Wushan County, Chongqing. He has not changed his original intention for 43 years, stuck to remote mountain villages, persisted in hard struggle, and led villagers to carve stones on cliffs in the most primitive way. After 7 years, an 8-kilometer-long cliff "Tianlu" was paved. In order to change the poverty and backwardness of Xiazhuang and let the people live a prosperous life, he took the lead in setting an example, actively engaged in poverty alleviation, and strived to realize rural revitalization, turning green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan, benefiting the villagers and setting a shining example for party member cadres who were at the forefront of poverty alleviation. On June 5438+065438+1October 18, 2020, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee awarded Comrade Mao Xianglin the title of "model of the times" and called on the whole society to learn from him.
The cliff "Tianlu" in Zhu Xian Village, Wushan County, Chongqing is getting more and more lively.
Since Mao Xianglin, director of xia zhuang Village Committee, won the title of "model of the times", this road has welcomed waves of guests. Everyone took great pains to see the "Heavenly Road" hanging on the precipice and the road builders.
Mao Xianglin is the man who led the whole village to cut a road on the cliff. He was born in Xiazhuang, grew up in xia zhuang and worked in xia zhuang all his life. He has never read thousands of books, and he has never walked the Wan Li Road, but he has such powerful energy that he inspires Xiazhuang people to take the road from digging a cliff to winning the battle against poverty, and from a well-known poor village to the road to rural rejuvenation and prosperity, forming an admirable "Xiazhuang spirit".
How did these spirits grow on ordinary farmers in the depths of this remote and closed mountain?
With this question, CQDK all-media reporters and their party came to xia zhuang. We find that this energy flowing in Mao Xianglin's blood is related to his growth experience, the cultivation and education of the Party, the feelings of the villagers, the young people in xia zhuang and, of course, the road construction.
Mao Xianglin's advanced deeds 4
CQDK All Media: You are from Xiazhuang. Can you recall your childhood growing experience?
Mao Xianglin: I was born in 1959. After I was born, my mother had no milk. I grew up in a collective canteen. At that time, there was nothing to eat in the collective canteen, so the villagers fed me vegetables and leaves with water, and I didn't grow meat after eating them. Everyone says I can't live, but they keep feeding me. Under such conditions, I finally survived. Although I am very young, I am strong and do a good job.
CQDK All Media: How did you spend your childhood in Xiazhuang?
Mao Xianglin: Childhood is a day-to-day job. I was poor when I was a child. My father has severe bronchitis and can't work. My mother is not well. At that time, everyone was in the collective (production team), earning work points for a living. My family has no labor force and can't earn much work points. Naturally, he became a "food-deficient household", so he often went hungry when he was a child. Later, when I grew up, I was the boss of my family, and there were four younger sisters below, so farm work naturally fell on my shoulders. From the age of 10, I can herd cattle by myself, get up before dawn every day, and go to school after herding cattle in the mountains every day. So at the age of 14, my father was seriously ill, and I had to drop out of junior high school for half a year. Since then, I have been working in the collective (production team).
CQDK All Media: Children are playful. Have you ever sneaked out to play during the break?
Mao Xianglin: No, never. I always work from dawn to dark. I regard work as a must, because if I don't do it, there will be no food, and the life of the whole family will be more difficult. I think it is necessary to build roads later. At that time, everyone said it was difficult, but I would stick to it no matter how difficult it was, because if I didn't build roads, Xiazhuang would never have a way out.
CQDK All Media: How did this growing experience affect you?
Mao Xianglin: I am a person who has suffered since I was a child. I am well aware of the truth that "those who get the word eat it", so I have always been able to endure hardships, mature early, and have high demands on myself in doing anything. In the past, I didn't have enough food, so I had to go to work when I was hungry. Now I have enough food and warm clothes. What else can I do? As long as you look back on the past and remember the experience of that year, you are not afraid of anything.
CQDK All Media: You just talked about the experience that Qi Xin, a villager in the collective canteen, helped to support you, which reminds me that you once said that xia zhuang people are particularly United. Is there anything that impressed you particularly?
Mao Xianglin: There are many. The most impressive one is the year when my father died. I remember that it snowed heavily that year, and the thick snow crushed cypress trees. It seldom snows in Xiazhuang, because in the pit, the altitude is lower than the top of the mountain 1000 meters. When my father died, it was snowing heavily and cold, and there was no firewood at home. I didn't know what to do then. Later, villagers came to my house one after another. They braved the heavy snow to deliver firewood. Almost all the people in the village came that day, and they made a little at home and piled a lot of firewood. It took my house two years to burn down. I remember it all my life. Why am I so impressed? Because there is no road in Xiazhuang, coal can't be transported in, so the villagers can only burn firewood. You don't know how difficult it is for the people in Xiazhuang to cut wood. Cutting wood on the mountain is dangerous. People here die every year because of chopping wood, so the villagers risk their lives to get firewood. How can I not always reassure the people when they support me like that?
CQDK All Media: Have Xiazhuang people always been so united?
Mao Xianglin: In my opinion, Xiazhuang people have always been closely United, no matter you or me. Let me tell you another story. In the past, the village was poor and the villagers had no good clothes to wear. There is a wealthy family in the village. He has a good suit. If other villagers want to go out to a relative's house for a banquet, they will come to borrow clothes from him. His dress has been worn by many villagers. Do you think this is not about you and me? It is precisely because the Xiazhuang people have this spirit of unity that I organized road construction and the whole village came.
CQDK All Media: Is this bloody feeling of Xiazhuang people the reason why you have been rooted in this unremitting struggle?
Mao Xianglin: That's right. To tell the truth, I also worked in Yichang City, Hubei Province when I was young, but I came back two months later. It's not that it's bad outside. It's that the village wrote to me saying that it needs me and asked me to come back. People used to ask me why I didn't go out to work to earn money. I always say that I have a responsibility. If you leave the people and go out, you are disloyal to the party and irresponsible to the people. Although our place is poor, no matter how poor it is, I will try my best to make it better and lead the people to get rid of poverty and get rich together.
Mao Xianglin's advanced deeds 5
CQDK All Media: Your father is a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, your mother is a village women's director, and both parents are old party member. Can you tell us something about your parents?
Mao Xianglin: My father is a soldier with a fiery personality and perseverance. On the other hand, mother is very gentle. Although she hasn't read any books, she works hard. She is an active, honest and diligent person.
CQDK All Media: How did your parents influence you?
Mao Xianglin: I have a strong side and a gentle side in my personality, which should be absorbed by my parents' combination of rigidity and softness. However, I am still greatly influenced by my mother. My mother married xia zhuang. At that time, life was hard and her health was not very good, but she never complained. She goes to work earlier than anyone every day. My mother is still a cadre in the village. Since I was a child, I have watched her deal with the affairs of the village, big and small, and how she deals with the villagers. She is fair in handling things and good to the villagers, and everyone has a very good impression of her.
CQDK all media: 1982, you submitted your application for joining the Party when you were 23 years old. Why do you want to join the China * * * production party?
Mao Xianglin: To a certain extent, I joined the Party under the influence of my parents. Listen and watch more from an early age. Besides, I like watching movies and am attracted by some heroic stories. I think the * * * production party is more advanced. I don't want to be a hero, but I really want to be a party member and do more practical things for the people in the village, which is why I decided to join the party.
CQDK All Media: What is the reason for submitting the application for joining the Party but not passing it?
Mao Xianglin: At that time, I was young and energetic. The old branch secretary said that I didn't study deeply enough, so I should further strengthen my study and accept the test of the party organization in practice. My mother also pointed out that I had a bad temper and my work was unreliable.
CQDK All Media: 10 years later, you submitted your application for joining the Party five times. The process of joining the party is so tortuous, have you ever thought about giving up?
Mao Xianglin: I never wanted to give up. Although the process is tortuous, I still want to join the China Producer Party. Working at the grassroots level, if it weren't for party member, it would be difficult to gain the trust of ordinary people. Besides, in the process of joining the party, I can constantly examine my own shortcomings and have the opportunity to actively accept the education and training of the party, which is a process of my growth. I didn't like taking notes before. I'm a little reckless and have problems communicating with ordinary people. Later, these bad habits were gone. I finally thank this experience, because it made me better and laid the foundation for me to work better at the grassroots level.
CQDK All Media: It can be seen that joining the Party embodies your character of never leaving. Have you always been like this?
Mao Xianglin: I seem to have been like this since I was a child. No matter how difficult it is to do something, as long as I make up my mind, I must stick to it until the end. Even if I fail, I will sum up my lessons. Let me tell you a story. 1979. At that time, I was the company commander of the villagers' soldiers in xia zhuang. A villager cut down five trees in the forest area, which was against the policy at that time. After I knew it, I asked him to replant 10 trees, but he didn't want to. Later, I went to his house every day to reason with him and do ideological work. After more than a month, he finally listened, not only replanted the 10 tree, but also made a review at the villagers' meeting. Without this energy, I can't do many things in xia zhuang.
CQDK All Media: Looking back now, what was the biggest setback in your life?
Mao Xianglin: The biggest setback is the frequent occurrence of landslides, mudslides and other accidents after the completion of roads. At first, I didn't think it was more difficult to maintain roads than to build them. The mountain in Xiazhuang is too steep, and the conditions were limited in those years, which failed to make the mountain safer. After the completion of the road, every rainy day, landslides and mudslides will occur, the road will be impassable, the dolls who go to school outside will not come back, and the agricultural products and local products in the village will not be shipped out. I was under a lot of pressure. I am very nervous when it rains, and I feel that there is always a safety hazard.
CQDK All Media: How was it solved later?
Mao Xianglin: I called the villagers to set up a voluntary road maintenance team, and everyone took turns cleaning and maintaining the road. Just like building roads in those days, everyone joined without complaint. Since 20 15, with the support of all parties, these security risks have been solved.
CQDK All Media: Road construction takes a long time and has many difficulties. It may be relatively easy to persist for a month or two, but it is too difficult to persist for seven years. How did everyone do it?
Mao Xianglin: It's not difficult to keep on building roads, because everyone has hope. The road was built in sections. When we saw the repaired road ahead, we felt hopeful. But this hope has been encouraging us, so people still have hope.
CQDK All Media: What's your biggest gain from repairing this road?
Mao Xianglin: The strength of unyielding and unyielding character has been strengthened. By building roads, I understand two things: first, difficulties are one after another, and we must meet them; Second, don't be afraid to meet tough "hard bones". As long as you get through the most difficult time, you will get better gradually. When the road was built, it was repaired quickly before and after, because the mountain was not steep, but we stayed in the middle for four years. If you get through, the road behind you will be easy to repair.
CQDK All Media: How did you get through those years?
Mao Xianglin: As I said just now, everyone has a hope. When you see that the road ahead has been repaired, you must continue to repair it. What's more, there were many young people in our team at that time, all of whom could bear hardships. We worked together, ate together and slept together. The longest time we lived in the mountains was two months. At that time, the road could not be repaired, and I would go to the shed built by everyone every night to see if they were injured and in a good mood. Every time I go, everyone is very happy. We sit together and chat and encourage each other, so we stick to it day by day. We all have the spirit of never admitting defeat and never giving up.
CQDK All Media: Later, I tried to lead people out of poverty and become rich. Is it also related to the experience of building roads?
Mao Xianglin: Yes, actually, at first, I thought it would be good to build this road, but after the road was cleared, I thought more and longer. Seeing that most villagers still live below the poverty line, I want to lead the masses out of poverty and become rich. In the development of industry, we have taken many detours and been hit hard again and again, but we have survived the road construction, so these difficulties are nothing to us.
CQDK All Media: Now that poverty alleviation is coming to an end, what do you think of poverty alleviation? Next, what are the plans for the development of xia zhuang?
Mao Xianglin: xia zhuang was very poor in the past, and only after the tough battle against poverty started did earth-shaking changes take place. Now Xiazhuang has not only lifted the whole village out of poverty, but also become more and more beautiful. The next step is to revitalize the countryside. Today, our technicians just went to carefully check the growth of navel oranges. The output of navel oranges in the village has increased again this year, and the sales income should exceed 800,000 yuan. At present, Xiazhuang's industrial structure is stable, rural tourism is gradually developing, and the village is still vigorously developing aquaculture. In the future, the income of villagers will further increase.
CQDK All Media: I met many young people in the village today. Have many young people returned to China in recent years?
Mao Xianglin: Yes, there are more than twenty little dolls left in the village this year.
CQDK All Media: I heard that you persuaded your son to come back?
Mao Xianglin: Yes, I called him back from Shanghai a few years ago. Since he came back, he has been working in the village and joined the party. Now, he is reluctant to leave xia zhuang and wants to do more for the people here.
CQDK All Media: In the past, the dream of Xiazhuang people was to go out, but now more and more young people are back. How do you feel when you see so many young people coming back to build their hometown?
Mao Xianglin: Of course I'm very happy. I've been inviting young people back to Xiazhuang to build Xiazhuang. Our generation is too old to read any books and can't keep up with the knowledge level of young people. Xiazhuang has developed so well and changed so much in recent years, thanks to these young people. For example, Zhou Yong, our resident cadre, is in xia zhuang at least four days a week. No matter what problems the villagers have, he can solve them well In these young people, I see the fighting spirit based on knowledge and culture. In the past, what we needed in Xiazhuang was a way out. Now the times are different, and the development of Xiazhuang needs knowledge and culture. A place can't develop without knowledge and culture. So I feel very gratified and happy to see so many young people returning to xia zhuang, and they have also given me the motivation to continue to struggle.
CQDK All Media: You just mentioned the importance of knowledge and culture to the development of a place. What plans does the village have for the education of the next generation and the inheritance of the "Xiazhuang Spirit"?
Mao Xianglin: On the one hand, we have built the xia zhuang people's deeds showroom and Gong Yu lecture hall to fully demonstrate the process and spirit of xia zhuang people's road construction and let more young people understand this history; On the other hand, we are going to build a new school in 202 1 to further improve the quality of education and train more talents for Xiazhuang.
CQDK All Media: What kind of life do you think is the most valuable?
Mao Xianglin: Looking back on the past few decades, although I have not received much education, I have gained a lot through the education and training of the Party, and I have also applied these to practical work and done some tangible things for xia zhuang. I think the life that I keep paying is the most valuable. I also hope that more and more young people can contribute their strength to the development of xia zhuang in the future and realize their life value in paying.
