Around the 1990s, an old man dressed strangely, holding a small flag and wearing a slogan was often seen on the streets of Changzhi, tirelessly persuading passers-by to quit smoking. He is Zhuo Xiangbiao, a "madman who gives up smoking". Zhuo Xiangbiao is a native of Songao Township, Fenghua, Zhejiang Province. He was born in 193 1. After graduating from high school, he joined the army and went to the Korean battlefield. From 1958, he was transferred to Qinxian County, Shanxi Province, first as a rural teacher in primary school, and then as a worker in agricultural machinery factory. Before retirement, he was an employee of Taihang Technical School in Changzhi City. He devoted his whole life to opposing alcohol, tobacco and gambling and advocating civilized life movement. 10 for many years, he and He Cai, a smoker from Hunan known as the "Southern Monster", traveled all over the country at their own expense to promote smoking cessation, and traveled to more than 30 cities and more than 200 villages all over the country except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and wrote 65,438+such as "Cherish your life and quit smoking as soon as possible", "Crazy Man in the Prosperous Age" and "Three Forbidden Songs". Influenced by his family, Zhuo Xiangbiao had a strong aversion to smoking and drinking since he was a child, and even devoted himself to the industry until he retired. His "madness" of smoking ban is getting out of hand: in the early 1950 s, he launched a campaign to quit smoking in the army and established the only "smoke-free squadron" in the whole army; In the 1960s, he wrote a letter to People's Daily, suggesting that "smoking and drinking should be promoted, tobacco fields should be turned into grain fields, and wine grains should be saved". 1982, Taihang Technical School advocates quitting smoking. 1August 30th, 985 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of national hero Lin Zexu. Zhuo Xiangbiao bought a tape recorder, camera, bicycle, microphone and other publicity tools at his own expense, made his own smoking cessation coat and compiled a leaflet. With the support and company of his mother, who is over eighty years old, he began to go out and go to the heroic road of promoting smoking cessation. He wears eye-catching clothes and rides his bike through the streets of Changzhi every day. He told everyone: "I was called' a madman who quit smoking' by the media. In those years when smoking cessation propaganda discouraged him, he was beaten and scolded. In Taiyuan, he even knelt down to discourage young people from smoking. A dozen propaganda tools were destroyed, and a dozen were taken in and sent back to Shanxi. Some people called him a "madman", some people laughed at him as a "fool", and some people relished the horror of his beating. In Wangfujing, Beijing, he was also sent to Changping Shelter, where he was detained for 8 days and then sent back to Shanxi. He was described as a fortune teller, a beggar, a madman and a psychopath. Satire, insult and abuse are common to him. His clothes have been torn, his head hit, his bicycle smashed, he has been injured dozens of times, and he has been to shelters, police stations and mental hospitals many times. However, even so, Zhuo Xiangbiao has been insisting. 1987 initiated the signature activities of the sponsors of the establishment of "Tobacco and Health Association", and advocated the establishment of "smoke-free streets", "smoke-free days" and "smoke-free red and white councils". With his efforts, Changzhi City took the lead in establishing the "Tobacco and Health Association" in the province on April 5 1988. Deputy Secretary-General of Changzhi Quit Smoking Association, director of Shanxi Quit Smoking Association, member of China Quit Smoking Association, honorary consultant of International Quit Smoking Association, national tobacco control activist and social activist of Shanxi Province. Won the national contribution award for the elderly and was selected as the representative of the 10th World Tobacco Health Congress. 1April 2, 999 Zhuo Xiangbiao died of illness, and Shui Yuan left the "no smoking" cause he fought for! I was lucky enough to see old people in Cheuk Cheung ban smoking in the street. Although the way of dissuasion is debatable in some places, there is more respect for life and love for home behind his behavior. If someone took his advice to quit smoking 20 years ago, should he be thanked today? The pictures in this article come from the Internet.
