First of all, the head of the delegation died
1982, the military geological exploration and construction tasks were tense, and the construction troops were highly mobile. Every time they finish a task, they have to move, and heavy machinery and equipment have to be transferred to a new construction site. In order to command the troops to make a transition, Colonel Zhou did not have a rest on October 1 (Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 of the lunar calendar), and the driver Wang drove a 2 12 off-road vehicle to the troops. When the car went to Jingxian county, the car suddenly lost control and turned down the hillside because there were many narrow bends in the high mountain road. The car turned down a steep slope tens of meters deep and then fell into the water. Colonel Zhou was thrown out of the car and sacrificed, and the driver Wang sank into the river with the car.
The leaders of the army got amazing news and immediately took people to the scene to salvage the car and driver Wang with the local people. Comrade Wang also passed away. Leaders and comrades endured grief and transported the bodies of two comrades back to Huaihua military camp.
Second, farewell ceremony and memorial service.
Xia Kui, director of the Political Department of Beijing Hydrogeological Command, Wang Changde, political commissar of the 93rd detachment, Qu Ming, political commissar of the 92nd regiment, Ye, deputy head, Huang Yangchun, director of the Political Department, and Li Xiu, director of the Logistics Department, formed a mourning leading group, and made careful arrangements for the sacrifice of the head Zhou Tushan and the driver Wang.
The farewell ceremony of the body was held in the auditorium of the 912 th regiment. The auditorium is surrounded by wreaths dedicated by various units, and the black and white banner of Comrade Zhou Tushan's Farewell Ceremony is hung at the main entrance of the auditorium. All the units dressed neatly lined up around the body for a week, and all the comrades were in tears with heartache. Guo Lihua, the lover of Colonel Zhou, is looked after by four people. She even cried herself to the ground, and her comrades were heartbroken. The two daughters are still young, and the eldest daughter Zhou Xiu and the second daughter Zhou Yong are taken care of by their elders in their hometown. The two sisters are dads! Dad! I want dad! I want dad! Wow, crying, rolling on the ground, crying shocked every comrade's heart, making people look more Lacrimosa and sobbing. The whole auditorium was in tears, and the leaders of the regiment organized a farewell ceremony, and they were in tears. That scene is really chilling. After the farewell, the body was in funeral home cremation, Huaihua.
Two days later, the memorial service was held in the regimental headquarters auditorium. The venue was solemn. At the entrance of the auditorium, there is a banner of "Comrade Zhou Tu Shan's Memorial Service". The urn of Comrade Zhou Tu Shan was placed on the stage of the auditorium. The urn was covered with red cloth, and everyone in the army had a black veil. The troops lined up neatly and entered the stadium solemnly. Qu, the host of the memorial service, clearly announced the start of the memorial service, and all the staff took off their hats in silence. After the mourning, Wang Changde, the political commissar of the detachment, gave a eulogy, comprehensively expounded the sacrifice of Comrade Zhou Tushan and spoke highly of the life story of Colonel Zhou.
Comrade Zhou Tushan: Born in Zhoucun, Jieting Town, Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province, he was 38 years old. He used to be the staff officer of the former 144 training unit. After the reorganization of the troops, they were transferred to the 9 12 regiment as deputy chief of staff, chief of staff, deputy head and head. His deeds were broadcast on CCTV. Comrade Zhou Tushan led the troops to conscientiously implement the policy of "combining labor with weapons, being good at fighting and focusing on work", actively led the troops in hard struggle, and made contributions to the slogan of "striving to build infrastructure engineers into infrastructure commandos with revolutionary ideas, mechanical equipment and the ability to complete arduous tasks as soon as possible". He worked hard, carefully organized and commanded, and made the 9 12 regiment enter the ranks of advanced units in the hydrogeology headquarters. 198 1 year, after the 912th regiment was awarded the eulogy of "Advanced Unit of Infrastructure Commando" by the Ministry of War, Xia Kui, director of the Political Department of the Hydrogeological Command, said briefly: "Comrade Zhou Tushan is the youngest and most successful head of the Water Army. His sacrifice is a great loss to our troops. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard and safeguard their honor. " Political commissar Wang also encouraged the troops: "We should turn grief into strength, safeguard the honor of the troops, and continue to do all the work well." The memorial service was always immersed in great grief.
Third, make a wreath.
The sacrifice of Colonel Zhou made the comrades of the whole regiment extremely sad. At that time, I was in the logistics and finance unit, and the funeral leading group ordered all units to make their own wreaths. (Because it was inconvenient to buy wreaths in Huaihua at that time) There were bamboo poles, silk and other materials in the logistics warehouse. Director Li Xiu ordered all units to collect as needed, and the quantity was unlimited. Chief Tian Fuchang sent someone to buy all kinds of colored paper for flowers, but who can make wreaths? Chief Tian asked, "Who can make a wreath?" I said I would! Actually, I haven't made a wreath either. In order to make a wreath and make the memorial service grand, several comrades in our finance department, Yu Guoxiang, Nie Yuelong, Jiang Shimin, Yu Yongze and Xiao, started to split bamboo and make flowers together. Because they have no experience in making flowers, they also found a female technician transferred from the local area for guidance. I tied the wreath frame with bamboo chop, first made a big bamboo circle, then a small one, and fixed the three circles with bamboo chop. The middle circle and the small circle are slightly prominent, and the back of the bamboo circle is fixed with bamboo poles and iron wires to make a wreath shelf. There are too many cooks and everything to make flowers. That's good. The big flower is tied on the big circle, the middle flower is tied on the middle circle, and the small flower is tied on the small circle. After the paper flowers are tied, the garland looks beautiful. I made a big wreath in the morning, and the comrades looked at the finished wreath with a great sense of accomplishment.
Fourth, get to know Staff Zhou.
I remember that in the summer of 1973, I worked as a supplier in the first battalion of the old 144 regiment. The catering staff should report to the logistics supply unit every month to review the funds and supplies. There was a bus on duty in the regiment at that time. The comrades of the spy company are on duty in the car, checking the boarding passes of passengers. A battalion has only two boarding passes, one for cadres and one for soldiers. The camp license is kept by the secretary Li Yike.
Once, at the end of the month, camp manager Szude asked me to go to the logistics supply unit for reimbursement. I went to ask the secretary of the camp for a bus card, and the secretary gave me one at random. I didn't look carefully and thought a bus card would be enough. When it was time to get on the bus, a doorman stopped at the door to check the boarding pass. I handed him my boarding pass. He looked at his boarding pass, then at me and said, "Are you a cadre?" I said, I wish I had a license. He said, "No, you have a cadre bus pass." He gave me the bus card and blocked the car door. If I can't get on the bus and miss the reimbursement at the end of the month, I'm afraid the car will drive away. When I am anxious, my stubborn temper comes up. I hit the car head-on, and the waiter didn't stop me. I rushed to the last side as soon as I got on the bus. He told me to get off, but I just couldn't get off. Flight attendants and drivers have no choice but to drive. The first battalion has to climb a higher mountain to get to the 125 hospital. After crossing the mountain, it is downhill. I was standing in the car, still arguing with the waiter. The driver saw me standing and deliberately tried to fool me. Suddenly, he came to an emergency stop and I fell on the engine. The driver said, "The car is broken! I can't go! " Actually, the car is not broken at all. I said: you love to go or not! The driver knew that there was nothing wrong with the car and it was going downhill. He left as soon as he released the brake. I was very angry. I didn't get off at the logistics, so I resolutely went to the group to find a leader to reason. I went to the village tooth regiment and didn't know who to look for. I asked, and the man pointed out the training unit to me. The staff received me last week, and I told what happened in the duty car. Staff week kindly said, "all right! Don't be angry, little comrade. Does he also work hard? I'll talk to him later. You should report the account first. Don't miss it. " Just a few words. I have to walk to the logistics supply unit. It was getting late after paying the bill, so I had to stay in the logistics for one night. Zude, the battalion commander, was very anxious when he saw that I didn't return. I returned to the first battalion the next day and met Staff Zhou for the first time. 1at the end of 973, when the troops were camping and training, they always saw the figure of staff Zhou leading the team with a black briefcase. After the reorganization of the troops, the staff officer Zhou was transferred to Huaihua 9 12 regiment as the deputy chief of staff. At that time, I worked as a delivery boy in the warrior canteen. There is no purser in the soldiers' canteen. I am responsible for buying food by myself. Zhou, deputy chief of staff, is in charge of the administration of the organs and often goes to the soldiers' canteen to ask questions about life management. I contacted staff Zhou again. Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou speaks kindly, is capable and principled, and is my respected leader. Later, he was promoted to chief of staff, deputy head and head.
Colonel Zhou left in such a hurry that he left his comrades forever. The 38-year-old is not yet in his prime, which really makes his comrades feel sorry. Thirty-five years have passed in an instant. Whenever I recall my years of working and living in the army, I always think of our head. I miss him!
