A general, who worked as a military attache all his life, insisted on returning to the field due to illness, led villagers to build reservoirs, power stations and agriculture, and benefited ten miles and eight townships. A teacher resolutely followed the general's husband to take root in poor mountainous areas and devoted himself to education. He lives a frugal life, but he is particularly keen on helping others. At the age of 90, I still don't forget to promote righteousness. Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen explained party member's initial intention and mission with practical actions.
In life, Gan Zuchang warned his children the most: "To pick the burden of the old Red Army, you can't put the shelf of the old Red Army on it." Under such education, the descendants of Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen are honest and diligent in their ordinary posts, and have inherited a good family style.
Dedication is a mentor-
"Participating in production or work in rural areas can also make great contributions to the cause of the party."
This is the scene in the movie "This General": 1955, Gan Zuchang, the logistics minister of Xinjiang Military Region, applied to the organization to go back to his hometown to farm. Gong Quanzhen was very angry and blamed her husband for not asking her advice. General Gump was angry with her.
When talking about the details of the film, Gong Quanzhen said with a smile: "The film needs contradictions and conflicts. I have great respect for him. He is a farmer. He has been a party member for so long and is an old comrade. "
Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen are both * * * party member, and they share the same ideal. No matter where they are, no matter how the environment changes, no matter what role they play, they firmly believe that they are purely selfless producers.
At that time, Gan Zuchang was not approved by the organization to return to his hometown, so Gong Quanzhen accompanied her husband to submit a three-year report. 1957, the organization finally agreed. The leader of Bayi Middle School, a children's school of the People's Liberation Army where Gong Quanzhen teaches, asked her, "Minister Gan has returned to his hometown to be a farmer. What are you going to do? " Gong Quanzhen said, "He is a farmer, and I am also a farmer. I won't learn to be a farmer. "
From Xinjiang to Yanbei Village, Lianhua County, Jiangxi Province, Gan Zuchang returned to another battlefield from general to farmer; From military schools to rural schools, Gong Quanzhen continued to fight on the education front.
The battlefield is different, but the hard work is the same-from 1958, Gan Zuchang began to lead everyone to lurk tigers on the tiger-shaped ridge, lower dragons in the paddy fields in winter, turn the tiger-shaped ridge into a mountain of flowers and fruits, and transform the paddy fields in winter, which was loved by the villagers. "Zuchang went to his hometown and went out to work with a shovel every day. He has a team to study what kind of rice to plant and how many kilograms to produce. " Gong Quanzhen has always kept the habit of teaching in the army. She lives in school from Monday to Saturday. When she was a principal in a primary school, she was close to home, only ten minutes away, but she still ate and lived in school. So, Gan Zuchang almost took care of everything at home. His daughter's clothes and shoes are broken, and he will mend them in time. The third daughter, Gan Gongrong, recalled: "The small hole was mended by my father, and the big hole was mended by my mother on Saturday."
The battlefield is different, but the result is the same-Gan Zuchang led the villagers to build three reservoirs, a 25-kilometer-long channel, four hydropower stations, three highways, and 12 bridges. He donated money for each project, and the statistics reached 85,780 yuan. Gong Quanzhen donated money to build 8 classrooms, hundreds of students and nearly 10,000 books, which conveyed Gan Zuchang's belief in hard work and building a beautiful hometown with practical actions.
The idea of growing up through parents' words and deeds, not putting on airs and not carrying heavy burdens has taken root in children's hearts very early. The second daughter Gan always remembers her father's words: "If you have a correct understanding of the future, when you have made small achievements in production or work, you will feel that taking part in production or work in the countryside can also make great contributions to the cause of the party, and you will consciously feel that the future in the countryside is great and there is hope in the countryside."
Gan Zuchang's uncle, Sun Ganjun, joined the army at the age of 19 and won the honorary title of "Good Soldier" many times. From 65438 to 0999, he was injured in his right eye during training, resulting in retinal detachment in his right eye. His right eye vision was only 0.05, and he was classified as a third-class and second-class disability. At that time, Gan Jun was attending training. He took the initiative to ask the army leaders to quit training, saying, "My right eye has been seriously injured, and even if it is lifted, it will affect my future work."
After returning to the local area, Gan Jun volunteered to work in the Gaokeng Industrial and Commercial Office with difficult conditions and inspected the most remote Wangjiayuan area. He has worked at the grassroots level for more than ten years. In the unit, Gan Jun concealed the life experience of the general's grandson from his colleagues and never used it to "catch the light"; Concealed disabled soldiers's identity, and never made a request to the organization. It was not until 20 10 that the municipal civil affairs department went to the industrial and commercial bureau to find Gan Jun for the construction of Gan Zuchang sculpture, and the unit leaders learned that he was a descendant of the general.
When asked why he wanted to hide these two "secrets", Gan Jun didn't answer, just talked about his childhood family affairs. Gan Jun was brought up by Gong Quanzhen, and his grandmother was very strict with him. She often teaches him: "Don't show off our family just because we are descendants of the general. Our identity is nothing special, but we have a special responsibility to continue to inherit the spirit of the general. " Grandma's words, Gan Jun has always kept in mind.
Hard work and plain living are family traditions-
"The state gives me more than 300 yuan a month, which is much more valuable than food and clothing for developing production and changing the rural landscape."
After returning to Furong, Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen have been living a simple life.
At home, Gan Zuchang is the "Minister of Finance", and even Gong Quanzhen's salary is given to her husband for uniform distribution. Children sometimes don't understand and ask their mothers why they have to give their salaries to their fathers. They usually need to ask their father for help. Gong Quanzhen always said, "Your father has been engaged in logistics in the army for decades. He will use the money where it is needed more, and I will be relieved. "
At that time, Gan Zuchang earned a monthly salary of 330 yuan, but his life was very frugal, and most of his salary was used to support rural construction. In the eyes of the masses, he will always be barefoot with patches, and a cigarette rod has no mouth. An image of a farmer with a handkerchief wrapped around his waist and a machete on his shoulder.
"Since my father returned to his hometown, he has given himself three chapters. He has to eat, clothe and live like ordinary villagers. He doesn't feel well and doesn't talk about ostentation and extravagance. He is strict with himself all the time and everywhere. Rice is brown rice mixed with shredded potatoes, and vegetables are vegetarian dishes such as tofu, peppers and cabbage. " Gan remembers: "When I was a child, my father asked us not to leave a grain of rice in the bowl. We should pick up the rice that fell on the table and eat it. We must not waste a grain. "
When I was a child, Gan Zuchang bought all the daily necessities at home. Children's clothes and fabrics are all white bibs with 17 cents a foot, and then dyed blue, gray and black with dyes, which are the same for men, women and children. "My father said it would save cloth. Father's clothes should have been worn for 10 years. If they are broken, they will be repaired. Until it can't be mended, it will be used to lay the soles of the second aunt. " Gan recalled.
An old comrade-in-arms once said to Gan Zuchang, "Laogan, this outfit of yours embarrassed our veteran cadres! Didn't the country give you money? More than 300 yuan a month, can't you make several sets of clothes suitable for wearing? "
Gan Zuchang replied: "I have long been a farmer, not an old cadre. The country gives me more than 300 a month. This money is much more valuable than food and clothing! "
Good traditions must be passed down. Gan Zuchang's family was branded as frugal.
Today, Gong Quanzhen, who is over 90 years old, still lives a frugal life. Once, her students visited the teacher's house and saw that the old man's clothes were too old, so they said, "I'll buy you a new set." Gong Quanzhen immediately stopped, saying that the clothes were still wearable and told students never to buy them.
After returning from Xinjiang, Gong Quanzhen wore a watch for decades. After a long time, the watch always breaks down. Repair it if it breaks, and then wear it. If it's broken, repair it, wear it until it can't be repaired. She wants her granddaughter to help me find a cheap one online, and she will also explain it for tens of dollars.
Gan Gongrong is also famous for his frugality. Li Lihui, president of Gong Quanzhen Volunteers Association, said that Gan Gongrong usually wears simple clothes, and he still wears them after washing them white. He usually buys some stale but cheaper food. Gan Gongrong believes that as long as it is washed and cooked, it should be eaten. On one occasion, Li Lihui and Gan Gongrong went to visit the needy people. She found Gan Gongrong carrying a bag, which is estimated to be 10 years old, and many places have lost their skins. Gan Gongrong said, it doesn't matter, as long as the contents don't fall out, you can continue to use them.
"The godsister earns more than 3,000 yuan a month, but every time she visits someone with special financial difficulties, she always donates 500 yuan or 1000 yuan in the name of her mother Gong Quanzhen or an individual." Li Lihui wrote in her diary that she was deeply moved by the simplicity of Gong Quanzhen's family.
Be strict with yourself. It's a family rule-
"I can only leave a revolutionary heirloom to future generations, but I can't leave a comfortable nest."
Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen are strict not only with themselves, but also with their children. They never make demands on organizations or seek personal gain. No child has ever touched the light of "descendants of generals". "You can only leave a revolutionary heirloom to future generations, and you can't leave a comfortable nest." This is what Gan Zuchang often says to children.
After the liberation of Xinjiang, the eldest son Gan Jinrong went to Xinjiang to find Gan Zuchang, thinking that his father could arrange a good job for himself. Unexpectedly, Gan Zuchang said that he had no education and could not do any technical work, so he arranged for him to strike while the iron was hot in Xinjiang. Gan is in poor health. After a few days of hard work, he fell ill. The doctor confirmed that he was unfit for iron work. Gan Zuchang said to his son, "I wanted to make you an iron warrior, but you didn't have the blessing. Ok, I'll introduce you to the Sixth Agricultural Division to learn to drive a tractor. "
1in the winter of 973, Gan Pingrong, the eldest daughter studying in Ji 'an Health School, was just 18 years old. When she heard that Ji 'an recruited female soldiers, she wanted to join the army, so she wrote a letter to her father, hoping that he would say hello to the People's Armed Forces Department. After receiving this letter, Gan Zuchang told Gong Quanzhen: "Write a letter to Pingrong, saying that my opinion is to go if it meets the conditions, and to study with peace of mind if it does not meet the conditions."
Unfortunately, one day Gong Quanzhen hurt her hand while working in the field, and Gan Zuchang accompanied her to see a doctor in Ji 'an. The leading comrades of Ji 'an Military Division learned the news and went to the hospital to visit. By the way, ask Gan Zuchang about Gan Pingrong joining the army. Gan Zuchang said: "Everything should be done according to principles. If she is physically qualified, you should accept her, otherwise, don't accept her! Don't break the rules because of me. I know that she is nearsighted in her right eye and I hope to have a strict examination during the physical examination! "
Knowing the news, Gan Pingrong cried sadly. But she didn't lose heart, actively exercised, and finally joined the army with honor because of her excellent academic performance. After joining the army, she persisted in training with perseverance unimaginable to ordinary people, and achieved good results, which made her angry for her parents.
1976, Gong Quanzhen retired from his post of education. According to the regulations at that time, retired cadres could change their children. Therefore, his youngest daughter, Gan, plans to "cover for class" in school, but Gan Zuchang firmly opposes it. He said: "it is an old rule in feudal society that children inherit their father's business, and it is also the root cause of corruption and incompetence of bureaucratic groups." When children grow up, they should find their own way, not rest on their parents' credit books! "
When the bright moon was there, it returned with colorful clouds. Lotus landscape witnessed the belief that Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen kept their true colors and served the people wholeheartedly, and also witnessed the inheritance of Ganjia style from generation to generation. For many years, Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen have been educating their children by example. Under their influence, although their children and grandchildren are in ordinary posts, they are all obedient and conscientious. Today, some of them have been recommended as candidates for "the most beautiful Pingxiang people", some have become "March 8 Red Flag Bearers" and some have won "National Model Workers".
Colleagues and friends once gave Gan's children 16 words: descendants of revolution, descendants of generals; Indifferent to fame and fortune, noble in sentiment. This is not only a compliment to the children of Gan Zuchang and Gong Quanzhen, but also a compliment to the noble family style of this revolutionary family. (Tian Xin)
