-We retired veteran comrades, it is obviously beyond our power to devote ourselves directly to vigorous social construction. It's hard to say that we will have the ambition to change the world, let alone make earth-shattering achievements. However, in the face of the concern of the municipal party committee and government, and the concern of all walks of life, we can use our own advantages, our own specialties and our own waste heat to do our best to give back, even if it is just a fire.

-I touched my family, neighbors and colleagues with my words, deeds and actions, so that their feelings were stirred, their hearts were baptized and their morality was sublimated.

The above are two paragraphs in the proposal of retired cadres "doing things that touch people around them" initiated by 26 model individuals in Nangong City in early spring of 2009. The initiator is Director Liu Mingmu.

I remember that it was before the Spring Festival in 2009, when I was chatting with Director Liu, I learned that Taiji Chuan Senior Citizens Association, which he led, was carrying out the activity of "doing things that touched people around me". I think it's very innovative, so after obtaining the consent of Comrade Zhang, then deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of the work of veteran cadres, I transplanted this idea to the veteran cadres in the city, and at the meeting of the work of veteran cadres and the summary and commendation meeting held in the city on February 6, 2009 at 438+08, of course, among these 26 model individuals, there was also Director Liu Mingmu.

I can't tell why Comrade Liu Mingmu is called the director, but after careful analysis, it may be because he has more titles of director. After he joined the work, he served as a primary school principal, secretary of the bureau party group, deputy director and director of the department of literature and history, and shouldered the title of director four times. When I was a teacher, I was a class teacher. Later, I transferred the county culture and education group and the culture and education bureau to be the director of the teaching and research section. I appointed the deputy director who presided over the overall work (the director is also a county-level leader), and I also served as the deputy director of the entrepreneurial meritorious service office. This may be why people are used to calling him Director Liu.

Director Liu and I are worthy of the name. For this, we both recognize each other in public and in private, and we can have Li Zhihang, executive vice president of the former Party School of the Municipal Party Committee, and Xie Qiang, deputy director of the former Human Resources and Social Security Bureau as witnesses.

To tell the truth, I am an unsociable person, so my circle of friends is very narrow. On the one hand, I am introverted and eager to talk to people. It must be stated here that I am not disdainful of "talking to God", but I can't. The key is the lack of resources to speak, often saying the last sentence without the next, not to mention knowing that you are not lofty enough to "have no friends." On the other hand, my hobby is simple, and my favorite is only a few old books. I can't play mahjong at all, and I can't play chess. Fitness is nothing but walking. Without the carrier of making friends, the circle of friends is naturally narrow. As the old saying goes, you can't miss a saint. I'm glad to meet a saint nearly 30 years older than myself. Not only did I not miss him, but I also became a bosom friend who talked about everything. Look at the essence through the phenomenon and make a deeper analysis. In fact, I was moved by him.

I was moved by his earnest attitude. I can't judge the exact time to meet director Liu Mingmu. Generally speaking, there should be no problem before and after I was transferred to the municipal party Committee office in 2002. At that time, the municipal party Committee often held a forum for retired cadres to solicit opinions on a certain decision, and Director Liu was the one who was informed to attend the meeting the most times. At every meeting, he made a serious speech, which was detailed and well-founded, showing the seriousness of his homework before the meeting. So it caught my attention and produced the idea of meeting Siqi, so we came together.

In fact, there are two forms of seriousness, one is external pressure and the other is introspection. The seriousness of external pressure is formed by restraint and punishment, and it is a last resort under pressure, because if you are not serious, you will pay the price. The seriousness of introspection is entirely out of one's internal cognition and is a conscious action. I think director Liu's seriousness is introspective, and it is a dynamic seriousness that melts into the subconscious. Therefore, no matter whether someone evaluates or supervises, he is as always, to the letter. In 2007, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Chinese and Indian cultural messengers Mo Teng and Zhu Falan in Xi 'nan Palace, Ordinary Pagoda and Ordinary Temple1940th, the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government and CPPCC will jointly hold a large-scale academic seminar with the Buddhist Association of Hebei Province and Hebei Normal University. At this time, Director Liu, although over 70 years old, has already had nothing to do with current affairs. However, as a senior literature and history worker, Do not forget your initiative mind actively participated in the supernumerary preparations for the seminar, visiting libraries and archives, drilling old paper piles, wearing reading glasses, copying tens of thousands of words of notes in printed form and handing them over to the preparatory group for reference. Although every time he mentioned this, he smiled and said, "I can only do it", but it takes a lot of effort and energy, and people who are not in the shoes can't understand it. In 2009, inspired by the Tai Ji Chuan Association for the Elderly to learn and practice Tai Ji Chuan, the Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres decided that all staff should learn and practice Tai Ji Chuan, so as to play a greater role in guiding the sports activities of the elderly. Who will be the coach? Without thinking, everyone said a name in unison-director Liu Mingmu. Director Liu agreed to our request without saying anything, but when it came time to pay, he was sternly rejected. We agreed to start training at 5 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Director Liu always arrives at his post before 5 pm, patiently waiting for us "students" to finish our work, and then start tutoring. Especially in the first class, he sent everyone a 24-style Taijiquan biography paper, which made the comrades clear at a glance and increased their interest in learning. Although I talk and laugh on weekdays and never compete with others, teaching kung fu is completely different. His eyebrows and eyes are full of that kind of critical expression. He can't be careless in every move. When he finds that his movements and postures are not in place, he will correct them immediately and work tirelessly. Once he finished coaching, he immediately recovered his kind image, and that kind of seriousness and seriousness went beyond the cloud nine. Business is business, entertainment is recreation. I think this may be the true meaning of his introspection and seriousness, and it is also the realm pursued by wise men.

I was moved by his persistence and persistence. Director Liu is not only serious and excellent, but also dedicated, passionate and professional to every line. Every work reveals an imperceptible but ubiquitous persistence and tenacity. 1952, 15 years old before graduating from high school. Now it seems that he is still a little boy, so he boarded the platform and became a primary school teacher. Faced with the opposition of his family and the contempt of people around him, he did not choose to retreat, but devoted himself to learning teaching methods, studying textbooks and analyzing students, relying on a kind of seriousness, perseverance and long-term success. 1964 65438+1October 5th, Nangong County Committee made the Decision on Developing Liu Mingmu as a Model Teacher and Excellent Counselor among Primary and Secondary School Teachers with No.64 Document, and recommended him to participate in the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Youth League in that year, which was cordially received by Chairman Mao. Every time he talks about this history, he reveals a kind of happiness and pride. 198 1 year1kloc-0/month was transferred to the post of Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Cultural Bureau, in charge of overall work. This is a transitional period from destroying culture to respecting culture. He personally protected Nangong Monument, Song Jun Monument and Jiang Dengxuan Monument. He led a group of people from the Cultural Bureau to build 27 cultural stations and 35 cultural sites at the village level. Xingtai held two on-site meetings in Nangong to promote the experience here. Under such a historical background, it is unthinkable to achieve such achievements without perseverance and unremitting persistence. His persistence is more manifested in learning to spread martial arts and Tai Chi culture. 1at the beginning of 984, he was transferred to the deputy director of the county sports commission to preside over the overall work. After taking office, according to the actual development of mass sports in Nangong, he personally drafted "Nangong County's Opinions on Carrying out Wushu Month Activities in the County during the Spring Festival" and issued it as a county government document. He gave full play to his own advantages, upgraded all the cultural sites built during his work in the Cultural Bureau, built cultural and sports venues, and highlighted martial arts training, which laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Nangong, the hometown of martial arts in China. 1988 invited the old gentleman's coach Tai Ji Chuan and Jian, and they were soon fascinated by the charm of Taiji culture. Therefore, from learning to counseling to organizing training has become his endless homework every year, every month and every day. Especially after retirement, I set up a special venue in the gym to accept students and teach apprentices. Not to mention his hard work as an organizer, leading a loose group, and his persistence in cleaning the site is enough to make people respect. Weeding in spring and summer, sweeping leaves in autumn and winter, draining water in rainy season, shoveling snow and ice in cold days, he is not only always the first to be present, but also often completes it independently, never complaining, and does it for 20 years. "It is not difficult for a person to do good. The hard thing is to do good things all your life and not do bad things. This is the hardest thing! " This is a famous saying once said by Chairman Mao. Isn't it appropriate to comment on this matter here? In order to better popularize Taiji culture and promote the development of mass sports, he joined the Tai Ji Chuan Society for the Aged in propose to create in 2006, which has attracted nearly 200 members so far. Whether it is mass cultural and sports activities organized by the Bureau of Culture and Sports or the Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres, or cultural and sports activities and festivals for the elderly, they all have their presence. It highlights the personal charm of Director Liu's active participation in his career and the role of Tai Ji Chuan Senior Citizens Association forged by his persistent persistence and persistence.

I was moved by his kindness and joy. In my previous writing, I mentioned his cheerful and kind image many times. In my mind, he will always be such a person, not only in appearance, but also in his heart, an old man who is sunny, optimistic, uncontested, indifferent to fame and fortune and fully conscious. He took the initiative to do a lot of meaningful things for the society, especially after retirement, he neither fulfilled his duties nor fulfilled his legal obligations, but he didn't take anything as a burden, and he didn't fall into the idea of making money. He did it happily and enjoyed it. It seems to be for something, but it's not why.

He retired at the age of 62 on 1998. As for retirement, he often says that "retirement" is just a form, and the word "rest" is only for public office. You can't turn yourself into a cripple who receives a monthly pension just because you retire. He made a "four things" plan for himself, that is, "don't make trouble, don't make trouble, think about something and do something." I think this is the popular version of the goal of having a sense of security and happiness for the elderly. He used his own practical actions to interpret a healthy, optimistic and positive attitude towards life, realized his own life value, and slowly released a powerful "positive energy" in the constant rush. As the saying goes, "things are often unsatisfactory, but you can talk to people in the same way." Although he is sunny and optimistic, why is it smooth sailing? What makes him most helpless and helpless is the nightmare experience that began at the beginning of 1967. The "rebels" broke him into the gang on trumped-up charges, so he entered a strange circle of imprisonment, exposure and struggle. However, more than two years of destruction, torture and humiliation, and more than two years of inhuman treatment did not shake his will and belief, but made him think more clearly about society and enhance his understanding of life. He often said that treating the past with relief does not prove that we are forgetful, but only shows that we have chosen to put down our burdens and move forward lightly. He worked happily and seriously before retirement, and the "four things" plan made after retirement is undoubtedly the concrete embodiment of his putting down his baggage and moving forward lightly. He advocates the activity of "doing things that touch people around him". He volunteered to tutor Tai Chi and spread Tai Chi culture to institutions, schools, communities and rural areas. He paid attention to education, called for the construction of teachers' morality, and reduced the burden on students. The statistics of the number of lions in Lugouqiao in primary school textbooks were wrong. He regards publicizing the Nangong, publicizing its outstanding figures and praising the new era as an important goal of "doing something", paying attention to discovering the bright spot of reality, devoting himself to studying the history of the Nangong, and studying the historical celebrities of the Nangong, including Bai Gui (Ming Yingzong, Minister of Industry of Xian Zong, Minister of War), Wang Zhu (one of the main founders of modern aviation industry in China, the father of Boeing), Liu Zhennian (local warlord in the Republic of China, known as Jiaodong Wang) and Wang Zhu. Not to mention the creation before retirement. During the nine years from retirement to 2007, various long newsletters and reportages were published 19, totaling more than150,000 words.

Maybe some people will think so. He didn't do it for fame and fortune. Why? This is not a performance. Why? However, I have never questioned this. Imagine if you have a performance, you will never wake up and forget to return. If you can't make a fool of yourself, can you also achieve a new and better moral landscape? After further analysis, 50 is a known fate. 60, 70 years old, what else can you get through? In a small county, a retired old man who has no authority when he is in office, even if he wants fame and fortune, how much fame can he have and how much profit can he make? What's more, when he was doing these things, especially in the so-called "wedding dress for other girls" investigation and interview, he also had three chapters of "three noes" to himself, namely: don't invite, don't pick up, don't thank. How can you show off your "name" if you don't eat, pick up or drop off, keep out, or lose ostentation and extravagance? If you don't thank and return, how can you reap the benefits? I went to Shililu Suburb Biochemical Factory for an interview twice a day for six days, all by bike. The food was prepared by the factory, but he declined politely. Do this more than once. When studying his inner thoughts, he always smiled indifferently, tried to distinguish and forgot to say anything. In fact, is he doing this to "show" his so-called lofty? Even if he ate that meal, did he really disgrace his reputation? The answer is no, of course. He just doesn't want to go against his original intention. By releasing his residual heat, he proved that he could still be used in society, and he got psychological settlement by letting go and giving up. If he really aims at fame and fortune and puts it on the show, will he still have a "happy old age" when he is a "scalper" with fame and fortune? Just like many people sigh now, "We have gone so far that we have forgotten why we started." Some even went to the opposite side of the destination. It is because of him, Do not forget your initiative mind, that he has always remembered the purpose of his leaving, so he has always maintained a kind attitude, shaped by kindness and kindness, and internalized by optimism and intention. I think this may be the internal reason for being moved by him, which should be the basis for us to learn and imitate!

Benevolent people live long. Virtue leads to longevity.
