Guo Mingyi, male, adult bachelor degree. On September 20, 2011, he won the title of National Helping Model in the third national moral model selection.

Joined the army in January 1977 and joined the Chinese Communist Party in June 1980. The Communist Party of China, and was once rated as a "model who learns from Lei Feng" by the army. In January 1982, he was demobilized and worked at the Qidashan Iron Mine of Anshan Iron and Steel Group Mining Company. First

Guo Mingyi

Later worked as a driver of a large-scale mining production vehicle, secretary of the youth league branch of the workshop, secretary of the propaganda department of the mine party committee, workshop statistician and personnel officer, and English translator of the mine expansion project office Waiting for jobs. From 1996 to present, he serves as the stope road manager of Qidashan Iron Mine Production Technology Office. [8]

In the 30 years since he joined the party, he has always played a pioneering and exemplary role and achieved outstanding results in every job. Since he started working as a stope road administrator in 1996, he has come to work two hours earlier every day. In the past 15 years, he has contributed more than 15,000 hours of work, which is equivalent to five more years of work. The workers called him "Guo Bodhisattva" and "Living Lei Feng", and the leaders of the mining company said that because of Guo Mingyi, the spirit of the entire "mining people" has been sublimated. He donated 60,000 ml of blood in 20 years, more than 10 times his own blood volume. Since 1994, he has donated 120,000 yuan to Project Hope, his fellow workers and people in disaster areas, and has supported more than 180 extremely poor students, while his own family is almost destitute. A family of three still lives in Qidashan Town, Qianshan District, Anshan City, in a single room of less than 40 square meters built in the mid-1980s. Guo Mingyi has been away from the army for so many years, but Guo Mingyi still has the same enthusiasm for his work. Guo Mingyi always said: The army is a big melting pot, what goes in is iron, and what comes out is steel; as long as you are not afraid of hardship, you can always make steel. [9-10]

< p>On January 11, 1977, Yu Xinyuan, an old Red Army veteran who was then the deputy political commissar of the Anshan Military Division, personally put Guo Mingyi on a special troop transport train; in January 1960, at Liaoyang Railway Station, Yu Xinyuan also put Guo Mingyi on another Anshan Iron and Steel Mine A young man was sent to the military column. His name was Lei Feng. Lei Feng and Guo Mingyi, who were still young at the time, both spoke on behalf of their respective recruit groups and swore to be good soldiers in the army. This solemn oath has become their lifelong pursuit. When Yu Xinyuan saw off Lei Feng and Guo Mingyi on the military parade, he must have never imagined that these two young men would grow up to be figures who moved China. From the growth process of Lei Feng and Guo Mingyi as ordinary soldiers, we can clearly feel that it is the melting pot of the People's Army that forged Guo Mingyi, a successor of Lei Feng in the new era. [11]

Wang Erzhong, manager of Angang Qidashan Mineral Processing Plant, and Guo Mingyi were classmates in junior high school. After joining the army, they were in the same battalion. He recalled that after boarding the military train from Anshan, Guo Mingyi began to help the conductors clean and deliver boiled water. As long as the train goes, he will be busy. During the five years he served in the army, no one could count the good deeds Guo Mingyi did. The "Steel Hero Company" of the 201st Regiment of the 67th Division of the 23rd Army, where Guo Mingyi joined the army, is located in a ravine in Hailin County, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. In winter, the local weather is extremely cold. Every morning, Guo Mingyi always gets up before dawn and braves the severe cold to go out to fetch water. Due to the ice on the ground, the feet were slippery, and the bucket splashed water from time to time, which turned into ice as soon as it was sprinkled on the clothes. Wang Erzhong said that Guo Mingyi never complained at such times. After filling the water tank, he was busy chopping wood, lighting the stove, and boiling water, just so that his comrades could use hot water after they got up. After finishing his work in his own class, he went to another class to continue his work, and he often had to do all the work in the row by himself. In 1979, a major earthquake occurred in Yunnan. After hearing the news, Guo Mingyi asked for leave, walked more than 20 miles to the county post office, and sent the accumulated more than 100 yuan in subsidies to the disaster area. At that time, Guo Mingyi's monthly allowance was only six or seven yuan. Zhao Fengnian, a comrade in the automobile company with Guo Mingyi, still remembers this incident: During a mission, the car driven by a comrade broke down, and it took a long time to repair it in the ice and snow. After seeing this situation, Guo Mingyi took the initiative to stop his car and help. "You've been tired for a long time. Go to the car to take a breather and warm yourself up. Let me repair the car." After that, Guo Mingyi got under the car despite the low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Because it was inconvenient to work while wearing a coat, Guo Mingyi simply took off his coat and lay on the thick ice and snow for more than 40 minutes.

Guo Mingyi and his voluntary blood donation certificate

hours. By the time the fault was rectified, Guo Mingyi, whose face was covered with ice particles all over his body, was too cold to stand up.

Guo Mingyi’s unit was formerly the guard camp of General Su Yu. No matter in war years or in peacetime, the 67th Division has always produced heroes and role models in large numbers. More than 200 people have been awarded second-class merit awards or above. Jin Yihua, a "model who loves the people" and "a good son of the people" have also emerged. Liu Yingjun and a group of other advanced models who are famous throughout the country. Lin Chuanfang, the old company commander who led Guo Mingyi at that time, won third-class merit 12 times and was known as the "old miner". During the 5 years that Guo Mingyi was in the army, he was influenced by these typical people around him every day. He can't go wrong!

After serving in the army for five years, Guo Mingyi grew from a young boy to a good soldier: he grew vegetables, fed pigs, and cooked, all of which were dirty and hard work. However, in every position, Guo Mingyi did an excellent job and his overall quality improved rapidly. In the second year after joining the army, he was rated as a model student of Lei Feng. In 1980, Guo Mingyi was the first among more than 30 soldiers of the same year to join the party. He also won awards 5 times and was named "Outstanding League Member" by the division. Old instructor Kang Yujiu recalled that when Guo Mingyi was a cook in the division's automotive training team, he would read and study whenever he had time after cooking. One night after lights out, he went to check the store and found Guo Mingyi lying on the bed with a flashlight and reading driving books with great interest. It is precisely because of this strength that after working as a cook for a year, Guo Mingyi has memorized driving theory thoroughly and can draw car circuit diagrams from memory. After participating in driving training in the second year, he won the first place in both theory and practical operation. Due to his outstanding professional skills, after the automotive training, Guo Mingyi was assigned to the division automotive company. As soon as Guo Mingyi was in the company, the company let him "fly solo" and drive independently on missions. Talking about the old company, Guo Mingyi is particularly proud: There are 104 cars in the entire car company. No matter what time, they are parked in a horizontal and vertical line, and the surface of the car body is wiped clean. Old instructor Kang Yujiu said that at that time, the conditions in the army were particularly difficult. In 1979, troops were deployed to the border to perform emergency combat preparation tasks all year round. It was common for them to be without rice for half a month and without vegetables for a month. In such an environment, Guo Mingyi stayed for more than two years and never complained. "It's not that I didn't complain, but that all my comrades didn't complain," Guo Mingyi said. Over the past few years, Guo Mingyi has performed various transportation tasks hundreds of times, and every time he has successfully completed them.

In 1981, when Guo Mingyi was discharged from the army and left the army, the then company commander Lin Chuanfang said to him, "You must remember that you joined the party in the army and were trained in the division to learn from Lei Feng. When you go to the local area, you must maintain the good style of the army and don't embarrass the army!" Guo Mingyi said, "Please rest assured, company commander, when I go to work in the local area, I will do my best with high standards and strict requirements just like in the army. ." Lin Chuanfang, Guo Mingyi's old company commander when he was in the army, came to Anshan in early September 2010. At the stope, the two comrades hugged each other and cried. "Guo Mingyi, you did a good job and did not embarrass the army."

Love and dedication

In 1981, Guo Mingyi retired from the army and returned to Anshan Iron and Steel Co.,

After returning to Anshan Iron and Steel Qidashan Iron Mine, Guo Mingyi worked in 6 different jobs, from a large-scale production vehicle driver to the secretary of the Youth League branch of the workshop, from the propaganda department officer of the mine party committee to the statistician and personnel person in the workshop, from English translator to The current stope road administrator, no matter what position he holds, he fulfills his promise to be the "best".

————While working as a driver of a large-scale production vehicle, he set a new record for annual bicycle production; ————While serving as the secretary of the Youth League branch of the workshop, his The branch has become a benchmark for the entire mine;

————When he was the theoretical education officer in the Propaganda Department, the party lesson plan he wrote won the first prize in the mining company competition;

—— ——While working as a statistician and personnel officer in the workshop, he took the national statistician qualification examination and was the only person in the mining company to obtain the qualification certificate at that time;

————In the expansion of Qidashan Iron Mine Provide English translator. In 1992, the Qidashan Iron Mine expansion project, a key national construction project during the Seventh Five-Year Plan, entered the preparatory stage and was in urgent need of English talents. Not knowing "ABC", he was admitted to an intensive English class for one year through self-study.

After the project started in 1993, he served as an on-site assembly English translator and driver of a large electric-wheeled ore transfer vehicle, serving foreign engineering and technical personnel 24 hours a day. After working together for 3 years, the foreign staff repeatedly asked Lao Guo to pay him money and materials in order to thank him for taking care of them. For Guo Mingyi, whose monthly salary was more than 200 yuan at the time, each payment was a huge sum of money, but he confiscated none of it. "This is my job responsibility, and I should do it well." He told foreign personnel. Foreign personnel respected him even more as a result. Cooperation is cooperation, and feelings are feelings. Lao Guo will not give in at all on issues of principle. Although he is not responsible for the quality inspection of imported spare parts for electric wheels, he has to check them carefully every time he translates the spare parts. He successively discovered quality problems with five electric wheels, and eventually the foreign party paid US$100,000 in compensation. Every little thing made foreign personnel see Lao Guo's ability and character, and they admired him even more. One day in 1995, Guo Mingyi was going to make a donation to the Project Hope Office in Anshan City. Allen, who is from Australia, was moved by Guo Mingyi's behavior after learning about it. He immediately went to the Project Hope Office with him and donated money to two children in Xiuyan. The China general manager of a foreign company understood through long-term on-site observation that he admired Guo Mingyi’s professionalism, technical ability and noble character. He twice invited him to work in their company’s China branch and promised to pay him the salary at that time. However, Guo Mingyi was unmoved by the remuneration of 6 to 7 times. He said, "The country has trained me, and the company has paid for me to learn English. After I finish studying, I will work in a foreign company. Is this appropriate?"

————The stope road administrator is responsible for all aspects of English education. The planning, design, inspection and acceptance, and management assessment of mining roadways are, to be precise, a technical cadre position. Many things can be done just by sitting in the office and making a phone call. If you go to the site for inspection and inspection every few days, you are considered hard-working and responsible. . But Lao Guo didn't find it easy for himself. Driver Hu Song said, "They were originally sent to supervise us, but they insist on working with us. If they really do it, they will do more than us. What can we say?" "Is it necessary to do this?" The reporter asked Guo Mingyi, and he said calmly, "If I don't do this, I won't feel at ease." Stope roads are transportation roads that change almost every day as the ore is stripped and excavated, and all of them need to be repaired. Viewed from a distance, these roads appear to be carved on the gradually sinking mining surface like clouds and flowing water. But when you get closer, the road surface is not so beautiful. In fact, these so-called roads are paved with crushed ore. When people walk on them, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. In rainy and snowy days, it is mud and windy. The days are full of sand and stones. There is no cover here. Since the working surface of the mine is formed, produced and disappeared at the same time, fixed rest rooms cannot be built. Therefore, whether it is a sudden heavy rain or snowstorm, or a strong wind that makes people unable to open their eyes, for highway administrators, It is impossible to find a shelter from the wind and rain, and the worse the weather, the more maintenance the stope road needs to keep smooth. The temperature in the stope is about 5 degrees Celsius lower than outside in winter, and about 10 degrees Celsius higher in summer. Guo Mingyi works more than 10 hours a day in an environment that is either bitingly cold or as hot as a sauna. In summer, the black and red face will be exposed to the sun many times; in winter, the ears are often frostbitten. In addition to hard work, Guo Mingyi's taking root in the mine and insisting on fighting with front-line workers every day also means that he has placed himself in a high-risk position. Because he has to directly participate in road construction operations, he directs the passage of road construction equipment such as graders and bulldozers, as well as large electric mining trucks. These vehicles pass by him every day. Electric-wheeled trucks for open-pit mining are huge. The largest ones weigh more than 100 tons each and have a load capacity of 190 tons. The wheels have a diameter of 4 meters, the height of the vehicle is 6 meters, and there is a blind spot of about 15 meters. Some mining companies have suffered from this. There have been accidents involving electric wheels running over vans and pickup trucks. Guo Mingyi works "beside" this huge electric wheel every day. Taking root in the stope for 15 years, doing the most tiring, dirty and dangerous work, the road maintenance technical standards and assessment methods formulated are all leading in the country. The maintenance quality of the primary and secondary arterial roads in the stope has increased year by year, and the star-rated highway has reached 10 kilometers, the road compliance rate is 98%. Qidashan Iron Mine has ranked first in the efficiency of electric shovels and automobile production among metallurgical mining enterprises in the country for consecutive years.

After leaving the army for nearly 30 years, Guo Mingyi has written about the brilliance he created in ordinary positions with honors: Anshan Iron and Steel Advanced Producer, Model of Spiritual Civilization Construction, Outstanding Communist Party Member, Anshan Iron and Steel Workers Model, Anshan City Moral Model, Special Labor Model, Liaoning Provincial Moral Model Nomination Award, Project Hope Outstanding Contribution Award, Liaoning Provincial May Day Labor Medal, National Free Blood Donation Gold Award, National Red Cross Volunteer Star, Central Enterprise Outstanding* A member of the Communist Party of China, the National May 1st Labor Medal, and he has received countless honorary titles.

Model blood donation

Donated 60,000 ml of blood in 19 years, more than 10 times the blood in his body

In 1990, Qidashan Iron Mine called on employees to donate blood voluntarily. Guo Mingyi immediately signed up. Guo Mingyi said that when he sees things that are meaningful to society, enterprises, and others, he always thinks of himself as a Communist Party member.

This is Guo Mingyi’s first time donating blood. It was because of this blood donation that he learned that the blood they donated could save the lives of others, but the blood bank was often short of blood sources.

Since then, he has insisted on donating blood for free every year, sometimes twice a year, and has never stopped for 20 years.

In 2005, Guo Mingyi began to donate platelets again. At first, he extracted one unit of platelets from 800 ml of plasma, and then gradually increased to extracting two units of platelets from 1,600 ml. He donated once a month. Donated more than 40 times.

According to reports, an adult weighing 75 kilograms has a total body blood volume of about 6,200 ml. As of the first half of 2010, Guo Mingyi has donated a total of 60,000 ml of blood (an average of 1.1 liters of blood per donation, and 1.1 liters of blood per year). 2.7 times). Equivalent to more than 10 times the total blood volume of his body. In December 2008, Guo Mingyi received the "National Free Blood Donation Gold Award" issued by the Ministry of Health.

On March 2, more than 100 employees of "Qi Mine" participated in voluntary blood donation, with the total blood donation amount reaching more than 20,000 ml. Having so many people donate blood at one time was completely beyond the expectations of the Anshan City Center Blood Station, and the staff at the blood station were very touched. Guo Mingyi organized more than 10 large-scale blood donations like this, and the cumulative blood donation reached more than 100,000 ml.

In 2008, the first "Free Blood Donation Volunteer Service Team" in Anshan City was established, and Guo Mingyi was elected as the captain.

Supporting poor children

In 1994, Guo Mingyi watched the Hope Project Office of the Anshan Municipal Youth League Committee calling for donations to children on the verge of dropping out of school

Guo Mingyi

The TV short film for subsidizing education and the longing eyes of the children deeply hurt him. The next day, he donated 200 yuan to an out-of-school child in Xiuyan Mountain. Ten days later, he sent another 200 yuan to the child.

At this time, Guo Mingyi’s monthly income was less than 600 yuan. He had elderly parents and a daughter who was in school. The family of three squeezed into a house of less than 40 square meters built in the mid-1980s on the outskirts of the city. In a single room. Up to now, Guo Mingyi still lives here, with a monthly income of only more than 2,000 yuan. However, in order to let more children enter the classroom, he has donated a total of more than 70,000 yuan in the past 15 years and helped more than 100 poor children.

In order to squeeze out money to support poor children, Guo Mingyi skipped lunch for a long time; in the 1990s, he donated blood to provide some nutrition subsidies, and he also donated the money; even the money given by the organization He also donated various reward money.

Later, his employer was afraid of giving him money so he donated it and simply gave him a shopping card. However, he asked his colleagues and his wife to convert the shopping card into cash and donated it; he rarely bought new clothes. , wear work clothes all year round.

During the interview at his home, looking at the "humble room" with a cement floor and no decoration, the reporter advised him to be kind to himself and his family.

Guo Mingyi said thoughtfully: "When you come into contact with different social groups, you will have different thoughts on life. I often come into contact with orphans in orphanages, children who cannot afford to go to school, employees who have difficulties in life, and Compared with them, I feel very rich, and I really want to help them.”

Guo Mingyi, who has a meager income, has sponsored more than 100 children, but he knows that there are still many children in need of help.

On March 4, 2008, he initiated the establishment of the "Guo Mingyi Love Team" whose main activity is to donate to support education. In just one and a half years, the members of the "Love Team" have grown from It has grown from 12 people to 30 people, and has supported more than 120 poor students.

The caring person of the workers

Speaking of Guo Mingyi, Zhang Guobin, a large truck driver in the Qidashan Iron Mine Steam Transport Operation Area, said, that is my brother. Electric shovel driver Liu Xiaoqiang said that our family will never forget Brother Guo.

In the summer of 2006, Guo Mingyi heard that Zhang He, the daughter of his co-worker Zhang Guobin, had leukemia. He immediately went to the hospital to visit and left 200 yuan for the child.

Guo Mingyi knew that if there were matching hematopoietic stem cells, the child might be saved. With the support of the Mining Union, Guo Mingyi wrote an emotional proposal, went to all departments and more than 70 teams in the mine, read the proposal aloud with great emotion, and sang "Dedication of Love" passionately.

Not long after, Guo Mingyi learned that Liu Zhuang, the son of co-worker Liu Xiaoqiang, had aplastic anemia and also needed suitable hematopoietic stem cells.

So, he found the traffic station of Anshan Radio Station and took Zhang Guobin and Liu Xiaoqiang’s wife Zou Yuhong to the traffic station to conduct a live broadcast to search for hematopoietic stem cells in the city.

Guo Mingyi’s spirit and the fate of his two children have affected the hearts of many people. More than 1,300 people signed and donated hematopoietic stem cell samples.

The reporter learned during the interview that Zhang Guobin’s daughter already has suitable hematopoietic stem cells, and there is hope for little Zhang He.

Guo Mingyi twice organized workers to donate nearly 30,000 yuan to Liu Xiaoqiang. However, the money quickly ran out. When Liu Xiaoqiang was at a loss, Guo Mingyi came up with a way: use his own medical insurance to prescribe medicine. Guo Mingyi also knew that this was against the rules, but for the sake of his children, he couldn't care less.

According to regulations, people who use medical insurance to prescribe medicine must come in person. No matter how busy Guo Mingyi is, he goes to the hospital every day. Later, the doctor was moved by Guo Mingyi’s spirit and sympathized with Xiao Liu Zhuang’s fate, so he made an exception. There was more than 3,000 yuan in the medical insurance book, all of which was spent on Liu Zhuang.

In 2007, Xiao Liu Zhuang left with hope and gratitude to Uncle Guo. Liu Xiaoqiang said that at the most difficult time, Guo Mingyi gave his family the courage, hope and spiritual comfort to overcome difficulties.

Why did Guo Mingyi, a very ordinary employee, arouse such high praise from the society? Will it attract the attention of many people in the world? Sociologist Ai Jun made an analysis in the article "Guo Mingyi's "Love" and "Dedication" Are More Important than Anything else": Ai Jun believes that this comes from his "love" and "dedication spirit." Ai Jun believes that "love" is a reflection of Guo Mingyi's thoughts and sentiments; "dedication" is a spirit reflected in Guo Mingyi's behavior.

What is the meaning of life? Ai Jun pointed out that Guo Mingyi's deeds gave us the perfect answer, that is, to give more "love" and more "morality". Only by dedicating "love" and doing something for society can we cultivate noble emotions, gain joy in life, obtain happiness in life, and gain respect from society. Only by respecting and loving others can we gain the respect of others. This is the principle of "one for everyone" and "everyone for one". In a world that pursues civilization, as long as everyone gives a little love, the wealth of this society will continue to increase, the civilization of human society will develop, and our world will become a civilized sky and a harmonious and beautiful world.

Sociologist Ai Jun further analyzed in his article that if Guo Mingyi is a "hero", there are no thrilling feats in his ordinary life experience; if Guo Mingyi is a "little person", but he is Like a candle, always shining on others and burning yourself. From him and from his behavior, we can feel the existence of "love" and "dedication spirit" everywhere, let us feel the existence of a kind of selfless dedication of civilized power, and also allow us to I have a better understanding of the connotation of dedication of "never benefiting myself, only benefiting others". He believes that Guo Mingyi has a "love" in his heart, and he should fully express his love for the motherland, love for society, and love for the people in his ordinary life, work, and family throughout the course of his life. and express it; that is, there is a "dedication spirit" in Guo Mingyi's words and deeds. He must find a fulcrum in morality and justice, public morality and selfish desires, society and civilization, and use his passionate love, in ordinary work, and in the times. In the process of development, dedicate the love you can think of and can do, do something for the society, and leave a valuable and meaningful life trajectory for the civilization and development of this society.

When talking about the contemporary meaning of "love" and "dedication", sociologist Ai Jun believes that love is the eruption of human emotions, love is the wings for people to pursue their dreams, and love is social civilization. and the foundation of morality; "dedication" is the behavioral virtue of human beings. Dedication is a manifestation of love. Dedication is a character that forgets selfishness and sacrifices oneself for the public good. Dedication is a kind of love and kindness that does not ask for anything in return. Civilized behavior that is devoted to one's work.
