Yu Chenglong was a late bloomer, but he succeeded in middle age. At the age of 44, despite the obstruction of relatives and friends, he abandoned his wife and children to serve as county magistrate in Luocheng, a remote border wasteland.
Even his brother-in-law, even Kangxi's nephew, Kaka Li, was beheaded by Yu Chenglong for his rampage. Not only was he not "held accountable" by Emperor Kangxi, but he was also entrusted with a heavy responsibility. The reason is still from the wisdom of governing the country of Emperor Kangxi, which is different from Emperor Kangxi's moral integrity.
"Bread crumbs and rice are porridge, and they are eaten with servants." In the rich Jiangnan water town, people eat vegetables all year round without knowing the taste of meat, so they are called "Cai Yu Cai". She is alone in this world without her family. It took her twenty years to meet her only wife. A set of official clothes packed in a wooden box is the only relic of his official life.
An official said to Jackie Chan, "Opening an official warehouse privately is decapitation." Yu Chenglong said righteously: "Five horses must be dismembered to open the warehouse!" The grand spirit of pleading for the people and daring to do something is inspiring.
During his 20-year career, he made three "outstanding contributions" and was loved by the people for his outstanding achievements and honest and hard life.
I was shocked to see the conversation scene when he first went back to his hometown to "bury his mother" and saw his great-grandson in his yard.
Great-grandson: "Who are you"?
Yu Chenglong: "Who are you?"
Great-grandson: "I am my father's son".
Yu Chenglong: "You are your father's son. Who is your father? "
Great-grandson: "You don't know my father".
Yu Chenglong: "I don't know your father? What do you call your father? "
Great-grandson: My father's name is Yu Zhun. Do you know him?
Yu Chenglong: "Your name is Da Ting".
Great-grandson: You don't even know my father. How do you know my name?
Yu Chenglong: "Haha, Datun, I gave you your name, I am your grandfather, you are my great-grandson, and my grandparents and grandchildren don't know each other".
My son and I almost sang in unison: "The young leave home, the old come back, the local accent will not change, and the children will never know each other. Where are you from? "
His story subverts my traditional understanding of honesty and integrity, and his spirit will be immortal and unparalleled.
How many good officials like Yu Chenglong are there in today's impetuous society? Such a clean official
He brought us too much shock and reflection. His story has played a good role in flaunting our contemporary parents and officials. His clean and honest style has warned the negative experience and lessons of "people". He is an indelible monument.
"Justice and conscience" should not only be Yu Chenglong's own way of being an official, but should become the ideal and belief of all ruling officials and the foundation of Do not forget your initiative mind.
During the whole 268 years of the Qing Dynasty, it was with such honest officials as Yu Chenglong, Zhang Boxing, Tang Bin and Liu Tongxun that the anti-sense flourished.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. I hope that good faculties like Yu Chenglong, who are willing to conform to people's hearts, will emerge one after another.
