Dear leaders and distinguished guests:
Hello everyone! My name is xx, and I am an ordinary resident of the Gejiu Plant Community. I gloriously joined the Kunzi Unit 703 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1968. While in the army, I received education in revolutionary traditions and ideals, and also learned some skills in grappling and fighting. After retiring from the army, these education and skills have played an important role in helping me save people and prevent crimes.
Today I have the honor to stand here and talk to you about several things I have experienced. I am really gratified and excited. I feel that I have received high praise from the party and the people without doing anything. Only by being more strict with myself can I be worthy of this precious honor and love.
From the moment I put on the shining medal and the bright red ribbon, I felt that the burden on my shoulders was heavier and my awareness of protecting people's lives and property became stronger. Although I am nearly sixty years old, I still feel that I have endless energy, because the great trust of the party and the government is spurring me on, and the eyes of the people are watching me. If necessary, I will definitely come forward!
Now let me open the warehouse of memory, search for a few unforgettable shots, and talk about my feelings.
March 24, XX is my happiest day. That day, Gejiu's Han Jianwei and Zhang Qigui and I were draped in red and robes in the municipal party committee auditorium. Looking at the expectant and encouraging eyes in the audience, I felt both nervous and happy. The nervous thing is that I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak well and let down everyone's love; the happy thing is that I can share what I think, what I see and do with everyone.
Talking about the red and colorful things, we have to start from August 23, XX. The weather was extremely hot at noon that day, and all the heat on the ground seemed to be evaporating. After I took care of the things at hand, I went to Gejiu Lake to cool off. When I took out my fishing gear and was about to go "Jiang Taigong fishing", the scene of a young woman about 30 years old and a child about 6 years old splashing in the water broke into my eyes. Sometimes they surfaced and sometimes submerged, as if they were struggling desperately. Instinctively I knew someone had fallen into the water. I didn't have time to think too much, I didn't even have time to take off my clothes and pants, I jumped into the water and rescued the mother and daughter who fell into the water.
When I came to the shore, I saw that the child’s lips were blue, so I quickly controlled the water for her until she regained her breath. Seeing that the child was out of danger, the mother pointed to the money and shoes floating on the water. Without saying a word, I jumped into the water again and helped her fish it out. Later I found out that the people who fell into the water were a laid-off female worker and her daughter from a new tin mine. Because the child accidentally fell into the water, the mother who was eager to save her daughter went into the water to save her regardless of her own safety. But the first scene happened because he couldn't swim.
At that time, it was midsummer, and there were many witnesses on the shore. Some of them may know how to swim, but they may not be able to save people; some may be able to save people, but they don't want to meddle in other people's business. However, there are also enthusiastic people on the shore. When they saw what happened, they called a reporter from Gejiu TV Station and reconstructed what happened. It was only then that they were draped in red and colorful clothes in the municipal party committee auditorium. In fact, after I rescued two children in the Green Spring Flower Pond in Gejiu in the fourth grade of elementary school, I vowed that I would never fail to save them. In the army, I suffered a minor injury while saving my comrades, but compared to saving a life, that minor injury was nothing. Later, I rescued a 90-year-old man from a pond in a small park. Although their children did not say any words of thanks, I was still very happy because I was doing something to save people's lives.
I am not saying this to show off myself, but to show that saving people has become a part of my life. It's not my nature to be indifferent when I see someone falling into the water.
However, I feel that I am quite lucky. Shortly after this incident occurred, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a commendation meeting for the city's political work and comprehensive management on March 24 of the following year. At this commendation meeting, two other comrades and I received the honorable title of being an advanced individual with courage and courage.
The title is both honor and motivation. It inspires me to stand up when people’s lives and property are being lost.
One day in June XX, when I walked to the overpass of the People's Hospital, I suddenly found two thieves cooperating with each other and preparing to put their criminal hands into the bags of a young couple. At this time, an idea to prevent crime and reduce losses appeared in my mind. I shouted: "What do you want to do?" One of them was so frightened that he retracted his hand, but the other stared at me with vicious eyes and called more than a dozen accomplices, but I was fearless. . Because I firmly believe that not suppressing evil is the unbreakable truth. Later, when an accomplice saw that I had stopped crimes many times, he thought I was a plainclothes policeman, so he shouted: "He is a policeman!" After hearing this, the accomplices dispersed.
Looking at their departure, I breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise I really don’t know what would have happened.
Things like this don’t stop there. On March 10 this year, when I passed by Dahua Department Store, I found that two women walking beside me were targeted by thieves. I quietly told them: "You have been targeted by a thief. Go into the store quickly." After hearing this, the two women quickly entered the store and escaped. The angry thief gathered more than 20 people in more than ten minutes to look for me on the street, hoping to teach me a lesson for being nosy. Thanks to the protection of kind-hearted people, I was able to return home safely.
After hearing about this, my friends advised me not to go out and to wear glasses when I go out. I smiled calmly and said, "I'm not afraid of death. I just want to make a little contribution to preventing crime and reducing losses."
I feel that I am lucky. On the one hand, I am not only lucky enough to encounter situations of drowning and theft, but on the other hand, I can rescue people who fall into the water without being hurt, and can effectively prevent crimes from happening. Compared with those comrades who shed blood and shed tears, I really feel very lucky. I sincerely hope that the "God of Luck" will protect me and do more for the party and the people.
At about 1:30 noon on March 23, XX, when I returned home to the vicinity of the Grain Bureau, I suddenly heard Yizhen’s cry for help not far away. I looked around and saw a little girl about 13-14 years old crying heartbrokenly, "Catch the robber, my phone was robbed." I looked back and saw that the robber was panicking. Running towards me in panic. I grabbed him easily and caught him. However, being a desperado, he struggled hard and escaped like a loach. I took three steps and then two steps to chase him. As soon as he ran to the north gate of the Cultural Palace, I pushed him down. I ordered him: "Give her the phone back!" He trembled and said, "I threw it away." Then we returned the same way, found the lost phone, and gave it to the little girl. The little girl kept saying: "Thank you, thank you."
In fact, I did not rescue others because of their gratitude, but the nature of a soldier urged me to "draw my sword to help when encountering injustice." I hope As more people participate in maintaining social stability and unity, bad guys will become "rats crossing the street" and "frightened birds."
On December 10 of the same year, I and another person captured the criminals who were about to escape at the Gejiu Flower and Bird Market, and successfully handed the two criminals to the 110 patrol police. It was a very happy day. Because my days of fighting alone are a thing of the past.
On February 5 this year, I was "lucky" to hear the news of an unfortunate fire on the hilltop above the Xidu Tunnel. I saw the wind on the mountain helping the fire, and soon a forest was engulfed in flames. The fire is the command, and the title of moral model inspires me. I didn't have time to think about it, so I picked up the mop and ran up the mountain. The fire burned my mop, so I used a small tree branch to continue putting out the fire; my shoes were burned, but I didn't hesitate; my clothes were burnt and stuck to my flesh, but I didn't feel anything. There is only one belief in my heart, and that is to put out the wildfires as soon as possible so that the newly formed trees will suffer less damage.
Although my personal power is limited, the power combined with moral power is infinite. It encourages people with conscience to "do good things in small ways and reject evil in small ways", so that our society will become more harmonious and stable.
I know that I was once a glorious people's soldier. The people raised me, and I must stand up when the people's lives and property suffer losses; when the people need it, I must not turn a blind eye.
I deeply remember Ostrovsky's famous sayings about life. He said: "Life belongs to people only once. A person's life should be spent like this - when a person looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive. In this way, when he is dying, he will I can say: I have dedicated my whole life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of all mankind."
I will use Ostrovsky's words. This passage serves as a motto to strictly demand yourself and make your life glow with a positive and meaningful brilliance. Because I love my motherland and people! Thanks.
