The students waited at the door early. Facing their eyes, Fang Yonggang, suffering from cancer, stepped onto the podium, still as refreshed as Hong Zhong and as loud as Hong Zhong.
"I feel very happy to give you a class today ..." Fang Yonggang's last sentence was drowned in applause.
In the memory of the students, they will always remember this scene: the steep slope of 1 10 steps in front of the teaching building, and their professor Fang tried his best to climb up step by step. ...
Before stepping, Fang Yonggang adjusted her military uniform. The mountains are as far away as Dai. His eyes stayed for a long time on the six bright red characters ahead-mission-loyalty-dedication.
Faith-"People without scientific belief are unfortunate people, and my belief is Marxism."
Every year, he completes 200% of the teaching tasks, gives lectures to officers and soldiers, cadres and the masses 1000 times, and writes more than 1000 articles ... For more than ten years, Fang Yonggang has been answering the same question to his students, listeners and readers at such a speed: Where is the way to develop and change China? Road, in the party's innovative theory, in the great practice of the people. This is Fang Yonggang's clear answer.
198 1 autumn, Fang Yonggang was admitted to the history department of Fudan university. After four years' cold window, after extensively reading eastern and western philosophy and literature, and studying the rise and fall history of dozens of dynasties in China, he focused on the history of modern thoughts in China.
Why did the Westernization Movement fail to save China from industry? Why did the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911 attempt to save China from the system and fail? Why can China's * * * production party find the right way of national rejuvenation in the dark?
This is the power of scientific theory. It is this power that has changed the fate of the country, the nation and everyone in the creative practice of China producers from generation to generation.
Among these changed fates, Fang Yonggang itself is one of them.
1April, 963, Fang Yonggang was born in a farmer's family in western Liaoning with seven children. Poverty is almost all his childhood memories.
1978 12 18. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was held. This is a recognized family birthday in Fang Jia-since then, the burden of family components has disappeared, and the whole family does not have to worry about eating for the first time after the "production quota"; Later, more than 30 of the 40 people in the family moved to Dalian. The village that has lived for ten years and nine droughts for generations has become a famous telephone village and tap water village nearby, and a batch of college students like Fang Yonggang and young people who go to work in Korea and Japan have emerged. ...
He understands that all these changes are brought about by the party's good theories and policies. The simple gratitude of Fang Yonggang, the son of a farmer, poured into the rational thinking of Fang Yonggang, a scholar, and formed his trust in the Party and his belief in the Party's innovative theory.
A career choice with no regrets for life begins.
One day in the early 1990s, Fang Yonggang heard the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe on the bus, and heard that some people were pessimistic about the future of China's socialist cause. Like many young and middle-aged theoretical workers today, Fang Yonggang's theoretical research and communication career was launched against the background that the socialist cause suffered setbacks all over the world. He was not surprised by these words. However, it was never Fang Yonggang's character to keep silent or laugh it off.
Fang Yonggang is eloquent, and the other party does not show weakness. The people next to him thought they were going to fight and almost called the police. Talking about the international strategic pattern, the changes in China, the characteristics of reform and opening up, and his own personal experience ... Fang Yonggang finally convinced the other party, and his eloquence and persistent energy also shocked the manager from the prison system: this is a firm-minded party member, and he has a strong appeal!
The bus missed its stop because of the argument, but the two sides of the argument became friends from then on. Soon, Fang Yonggang received a lecture invitation letter from Liaoning Prison Police Training Center. Ten years have passed, and the course has not stopped.
"People without scientific beliefs are unfortunate people, and my belief is Marxism." Fang Yonggang said: "If we teachers of Marxist theory don't believe in the truth, how can we convince others? If you are not touched, how can you touch others? "
Scientific belief is the ever-burning lamp of party member's life. Scientific belief is a great virtue of teachers; Scientific belief is a kind of power that can be transmitted, propagated and rooted in anyone who needs it.
200 1 During the summer vacation, Fang Yonggang was invited to Xiaolong Street in Dalian to explain the "Theory of Three Represents" theory to veteran cadres and the masses. An old cadre asked: Are you talking about socialism as we originally understood it?
"The reason why the Party's innovation theory is scientific is not only that its essence is in the same strain, but also that its content is always innovative with the development of the times." Fang Yonggang replied: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great article. Several generations of producers wrote their own paragraphs in this masterpiece and made great sacrifices ..."
When he talked about the Mao Zedong family who sacrificed five relatives for the China revolution and sent their eldest son kishida fumio to the Korean battlefield, Deng Xiaoping's life was "three ups and downs" and he always tried his best to make the people of China live a better life, the veteran cadre burst into tears.
When everyone's mood recovered, Fang Yonggang went on to say, "Old comrades are fighting for their lives. What you are most concerned about is whether future generations can maintain the advanced nature of the Party. Today, our party writes' Theory of Three Represents' on the banner to ensure that the cause initiated by the older generation will be passed down from generation to generation! "
…………
From Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents to Scientific Outlook on Development, Fang Yonggang paid close attention to every latest achievement of China-ization of Marxism with the unique sensitivity of theoretical warriors. He told his classmates that as long as they are determined to become theoretical workers of the Party, paying attention to the frontier is no longer a personal wish, but a responsibility entrusted by the times.
Fang Yonggang's career path is not smooth sailing. From 65438 to 0995, Fang Yonggang's mother died, his father was seriously ill, and all six brothers and sisters were in financial difficulties. Fang Yonggang hates that he can't give more rewards to the poor families who raised him. In desperation, he applied to the dean of the college for job hopping. The dean had a heart-to-heart talk with Fang Yonggang, who was highly valued four times. No promises, no more compliments, she just repeated a truth: army building can not be without excellent theoretical talents. This is why Fang Yonggang can't refuse!
"I want my desk too." Fang Yonggang stayed, won the teaching award and scientific research award, and his teaching and research section also won the title of advanced teaching and research section. "Job-hopping Storm" made Fang Yonggang understand himself better: he can't live without the army, and he can't live without this career! Ten years later, Fang Yonggang became a model for young teachers in the college, obtained a doctorate and was promoted to professor.
True colors-"As long as theory returns to people's practice, it will be as evergreen as practice."
If a theorist is a bridge between theory and practice, Fang Yonggang is willing to be a brick on this bridge.
In his view, scientific theory is extracted and abstracted from the practice of thousands of people in Qian Qian, and theoretical workers have the responsibility to make the latest theoretical achievements of the Party used by the masses, thus turning them into great material strength.
Shortly after China joined the World Trade Organization, Fang Yonggang was invited to Tieshan Town, Lushunkou District to talk about the impact of China's entry into WTO on farmers. Word of mouth has it that many farmers put down their farm work to attend classes.
"Professor Fang, China has joined the WTO. Don't let it get kicked!" A farmer shouted: "the grain we grow is not easy to sell, and it is even harder to sell foreign grain!" " "
Fang Yonggang asked, "Do you know why the wheat here falls off like bread?"
"Our wheat varieties are not good."
"Yes, we import wheat, mainly high-quality special wheat. Don't worry, the state always pays attention to protecting the interests of its farmers, and we farmers should also farm with science and technology and improve varieties so as not to suffer in the international competition of agricultural products ... "
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and people were thoughtful. After the report, a farmer asked him, "How do you know, a professor, that the wheat won't fall when making bread?"
An old man insisted on seeing Fang Yonggang: "Son, why have all those truths become the vernacular of our farmers?" Fang Yonggang didn't expect that the 80-year-old man lay on a stretcher and listened to his lecture all morning!
Fang Yonggang burst into tears: "Grandpa, I was born in the countryside, and I am also a farmer's child!"
The more diversified the society is, the more people urgently need scientific theories, not only in economically developed cities but also in remote rural areas.
He can't forget that in the Mohe Frontier Company guarding the north gate of the motherland, he finished the content of correspondence counseling, and the soldiers asked him to talk about the international situation, domestic and foreign policies, and military reform and development. They took out their own wine and served vegetables grown in the greenhouse to keep the professor away for a few more days;
He can't forget that on the battery island of Changshan, the class of cadres and soldiers is over, and family members have to listen to him when they come with their children. It was not until half past eleven in the evening that he finished the last class in his teaching career;
He can't forget that when he gave lectures in some units in Dalian in recent years, there were not enough seats in the venue, so someone took a stool from home and sat in the aisle to listen. In this first open coastal city, the "Dalian Forum" focusing on the latest theory has been held for more than 50 times, and the publicity activities at the city, county (district) and township levels are vigorously carried out. ...
Workers, farmers, cadres, students, soldiers, retired old people ... Facing the audience from all walks of life and the grassroots in the classroom, Fang Yonggang felt the people's thirst for the party's theory and the responsibility of contemporary theoretical workers. He is determined to be a civilian professor and restore theory to people's lives in a more direct and empathetic way.
The complicated historical changes have become storytelling between ups and downs. Highly abstract theoretical questions are carefully woven into the small talk by Fang Yonggang, which are the things that people are most concerned about and close to their immediate interests.
Speaking of "harmony" to community residents, Fang Yonggang used a spelling game as the opening remarks: "harmony-on the left is" harmony "and on the right is" mouth ",which means everyone has food; Harmony-Yan on the left and Jun on the right, which means everyone can speak. Harmonious society means a well-fed life and a high degree of political democracy. Everyone said that no one wants to live such a good life! " Talking about the advanced nature of party member cadres at the grass-roots level in rural areas, Fang Yonggang quoted two words from the fields-"If you walk without getting wet, you will have money to marry an aunt", which expressed the hope that farmers placed on the leaders who became rich.
Talking about the reform of rural economic system, he traced back to Xiaogang village's "life and death contract" covered with red handprints; When it comes to all-round, coordinated and sustainable development, he painfully learned the lessons of SARS; When it comes to building a new socialist countryside, he elaborated on the ins and outs of the "three rural issues". ...
"As long as theory returns to people's practice, it will be as evergreen as practice." Fang Yonggang firmly believes that there is no end to practice, and there is no end to theoretical innovation and dissemination!
Fang Yonggang, who witnessed the great promotion of scientific theory, hopes that through his own dissemination, scientific theory can be mastered and applied by people. Nowadays, what he often said in his lectures is "live in harmony and work together to build a home", which has become the slogan of several communities in Dalian; Inspired by his viewpoint that "scientific development needs to find a correct position", Renmin Road Street where new economic organizations gather set up an economic service center and launched six "service commitments"; After listening to his "people-oriented" lecture, Liaoning prison system opened a psychological health care course for police officers; After listening to his theory of industrial structure adjustment, farmers in Taishan West Village, Shuangdaowan Street, Dalian have more confidence in replanting cherries. ...
Fang Yonggang smiled happily when the news came from all directions.
Passion-"Always keep the charge posture of a theoretical worker, and let the limited life burn for the most magnificent cause under the sun"
Fang Yonggang is deeply in love with the three-foot platform.
He said that everyone has an unshirkable mission when he comes to this world. My mission is to give every lesson to my students and listeners. Professor of political science department, tutor of master students. He is also a member of Liaoning National Defense Education Lecturer Group, a visiting professor of shenyang military area command International Logistics Department and a member of Dalian Lecturer Group ... The task of lecturing is very heavy, but he enjoys it. Before each lecture, Fang Yonggang put forward three requirements: prepare a cup of boiled water-moisten your throat, a dry towel-wipe your sweat, and tell him the age, culture and occupation composition of the audience-so as to think about what language to use.
At the beginning of 2002, Fang Yonggang was invited to give a speech at a certain department of shenyang military area command Logistics Department in Qiqihar. From the afternoon until dinner time, the officers and men still couldn't hear enough. At everyone's request, after dinner, Fang Yonggang continued to talk for two hours. ...
"Singers will sing when they come back," said a leader of the Political Department of the International Logistics Department. "Who has seen the political theory teacher back to the scene? Fang Yonggang can do it! " Even lying in a hospital bed, Fang Yonggang's enthusiasm never waned.
1May, 997, Fang Yonggang suffered a serious car accident on the way to send her children to school-the main nerve in the back of the head was completely broken, only the width of leek.
In 108, Fang Yonggang's life was tied to his head and two holes were drilled, and his head was fixed by traction. He could only lie still and stare straight at the ceiling overhead, but fortunately, his memory was not lost for a second.
In the middle and late 1990s, it was the time when geopolitics in the Asia-Pacific region changed dramatically and the struggle for maritime rights and interests became increasingly fierce. What new role should China Navy play? Fang Yonggang and his colleague Wang Yufei agreed to study this issue from the perspective of the development history of China's navy in modern times. No sooner had he got the outline than Fang Yonggang had an accident. Wang Yufei was in a hurry. What about this scientific research? Fang Yonggang said, "No problem!"
Thoughts are like a spring, and Fang Yonggang corrects it while dictating; When you need to check the information, lift the book with your hand and read it. At first, my arms were sore and soft for a few minutes, but I held them for two or three hours at a time. "The evolution of the modern Asia-Pacific strategic pattern gave birth to China's navy, and the rise and fall of China's navy profoundly affected the Asia-Pacific strategic pattern ..." Three months later, when the 300,000-word "Asia-Pacific strategic pattern and China's navy" was released, the doctor once asserted that his body had only "one percent hope" and fully recovered. ...
People like his frankness, simplicity and "energy" in his lectures.
In less than two minutes in each class, Fang Yonggang can blend into the scene without even paying attention to whether the microphone is on. Someone once reminded him to speak in a low voice, but when every cell and all energy in his body were mobilized, he could not realize whether he should control it.
In July 2006, when Fang Yonggang was giving a lecture in Benxi, someone asked: If socialism wants to eliminate polarization, why is the gap between urban and rural areas and the gap between the rich and the poor still so big?
After a moment of meditation, Fang Yonggang made an analogy: "Under the special national conditions of our country, some people need to get rich first before they can run away like locomotives. Our train is too long. Up to now, the last carriage may have just left the station, but we must trust the party and the government. The important thing is that our track has been paved! " Then, he used his experience in the southern countryside to encourage farmers to go out, open their eyes and encourage them to develop cash crops. The two-hour class not only talked about the methods of understanding the problem, but also talked about the ideas of solving the problem, which won the praise of "not avoiding the problem" for this "professor from a big city".
After more than ten years of spreading the truth, Fang Yonggang gradually became famous. From college graduates to nearby communities, there are Fang Yonggang fans who call themselves "Gang Si". In Dalian, his class has been scheduled for the end of 2007. As soon as the residents of Zhongshan Street, Renmin Road and Guilin Road heard that there was a class, they asked, "Is that the professor in the navy with a big hat?"
Anyone who is familiar with Fang Yonggang knows that he often sweats after a class. One summer after class in Lushun, I was so wet that I was embarrassed to stand up. Later, whenever I went out to give lectures, I had to bring a change of clothes.
Those nicknamed "Fang Cannon" always hear his voice before seeing him. His father-in-law, also a university professor, gave him another nickname: "Yonggang Radio Station"-as long as the son-in-law came, the news at home and abroad of the day immediately sounded in his ear.
In the eyes of the wife, the husband at work is a bit "crazy". I read aloud as soon as I write an article, and no one reads it. He said that if you don't understand a question, eating is boring and the aisle is boring. It is common to go to bed after one or two in the middle of the night. After a long time, the sound of knocking on the keyboard became his wife's lullaby. Every time a new article is published, Fang Yonggang will whistle all the way home like a child and then have a drink to celebrate.
In the eyes of colleagues, Fang Yonggang, who often said that "a man without in-depth research is not a man", is a bit "crazy". He has been fond of big questions and hard topics since he was involved in writing the book "Systematic Learning Deng Xiaoping Theory" in the late 1980s. In the summer of 2006, Fang Yonggang and Xu Mingshan, director of the teaching and research section, co-authored the Special Study on the Party's Innovation Theory, which became the earlier teaching material about Scientific Outlook on Development in the whole army. Just before Fang Yonggang was admitted to hospital, they announced another important topic of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical innovation research.
People often ask, where does your passion come from?
Fang Yonggang said that passion comes from love. He not only "knows" his career, but also "likes it and enjoys it". He is like a fire, which can't be put out when burned.
Agreement-"human life is limited, and there is no time limit for me to learn and spread the party's innovative theory."
Since the spring of 2006, Hui has found that her husband is particularly tired after work every day. Asked what happened, Fang Yonggang didn't care: "I'm so excited when I give lectures. When I get excited, I sweat, which means my metabolism is good!"
Several times, Fang Yonggang thought it was gastroenteritis, so he found himself some medicine. Xu Mingshan advised him to go to the hospital for a good check-up, but he always couldn't spare the time. ...
This is indeed a very busy year: in addition to regular teaching and off-campus reporting, Fang Yonggang also undertook the teaching task of training courses for naval grass-roots political cadres, and compiled a textbook of Scientific Outlook on Development during the summer vacation. On June 5438+ 10, 2006, Fang Yonggang went to Beijing to attend the first seminar on military and political theory held in National Defense University. Opportunities are rare, and they are naturally cherished. At the graduation ceremony, he was elected as the student representative to talk about theoretical work and the construction of the theoretical team of the army.
However, at the time of writing this speech, Fang Yonggang's illness broke out again. I hung up the infusion bottle as soon as I finished writing at 2: 00 in the morning, and even the trial lecture was replaced by others. During a few days of infusion breaks, Fang Yonggang, unwilling to be lonely, cooperated with others and wrote a tens of thousands of words on the Time Value of the Long March Spirit. ...
On June/KOOC-0/65438+/KOOC-0/October/KOOC-0/7, 2006, Fang Yonggang stepped onto the operating table.
The illness is more serious than expected. This surgeon is the best surgeon invited from Dalian. After more than 20 years of surgery, it is the first time to encounter such a serious case. "With so many holes in the intestines, how can you keep working?" The past is vivid. The wife is heartbroken, and the husband is overdrawing his life!
"These years have been my most energetic and active time, and I just brought back several topics from Beijing." He said, "I have no reason to be depressed!" " "
In fact, Fang Yonggang didn't stop thinking for almost a day.
When I woke up after the operation, I didn't have all the anesthetic power. Fang Yonggang made a list, and asked his wife to go home and find a book, ready to give graduate students a topic counseling. People are still in the intensive care unit, so Fang Yonggang called all three graduate students he supervised to class.
Xiao Xiaoping is the first graduate student in Fang Yonggang. "Look at the spirit of my tutor!" Xiao Xiaoping said that if it weren't for the hospital gown, he wouldn't have seen that he had cancer! The classmates couldn't bear it, and his wife tried to interrupt several times. Fang Yonggang angry:
"You don't shake the morale! I have a problem with my stomach, but my brain is fine and my mouth is fine! " He turned to the students and said, "Don't be disturbed by your sister-in-law. Come, let's continue our class. "
Yan knows better than anyone. For the husband who has just finished the operation, it takes a lot of effort to speak every time-after people leave, Fang Yonggang often covers his stomach without saying a word, with a layer of thick sweat, and soon pours out another layer.
Someone advised him: "Take a break and stop doing it." Fang Yonggang still said: "No, there is no Marxism at all!"
Fang Yonggang brought the uniform into the ward. The doctor found the secret and asked him, "Are you going to sneak out to give a lecture when we are not looking?"
He hey hey smiled. In his mind, he can't let go of those courses that have been postponed repeatedly because of illness, and he can't let go of so many listeners who are looking forward to listening to his lectures. On June 5438+1October 65438+May, 2007, after the second chemotherapy, Fang Yonggang boarded the platform as scheduled to tell the students "the historical mission of our army in the new century and new stage". "Professor Fang standing on the podium, even if he says nothing, is the best example of fulfilling his mission!" The students said. Seven days later, Fang Yonggang, who was ill, once again fulfilled his promise and went to Dalian Local Taxation Bureau to give a lecture on Scientific Outlook on Development. In that class, I used five packs of paper towels to wipe my sweat. ...
"Human life is limited, and there is no time limit for me to learn and spread the Party's innovative theory!" Fang Yonggang said that if one day the bell of life stops, I would like to freeze it in my post and let my limited life burn for the most magnificent cause in the world!
In the white ward of the PLA General Hospital, Fang Yonggang listened to the sound of spring. He said it was the sound of pigeons flapping their wings on the window lattice, and the sound of the wind quietly blowing willow buds.
Fang Yonggang's missionary journey set sail again this spring-
"I have an appointment with Spring. When spring blossoms, I will walk out of the hospital bed and out of the ward;
I have an appointment with summer. When the sun is shining, I will celebrate the 80th birthday of the People's Army with comrades of the whole army.
I have an appointment with Qiu. When the maple leaves are red, I will welcome The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with the people of the whole country.
I have an appointment with Winter. When it snows, I will walk on my beloved platform again ... "
My thoughts are broad, and I agree that the mountains are high and the waters are long-like endless changes in the four seasons and endless innovations in theory. This is Fang Yonggang's life contract. (
