I remember that in 1970, the movement of supporting the frontier and supporting agriculture was in full swing. Many newly graduated students actively responded to Chairman Mao's call to "go to the countryside, to the frontier, to the places where the motherland needs it most, and to take the road of combining workers and peasants". Like all young people, I signed up for a sideline (at this time, the group in Huzhong District of Daxing 'anling is recruiting people in Hangzhou).
I am the eldest daughter of my family and grew up with my parents. Now, I want to stay away from my hometown and my parents, and go to a remote forest where I am a stranger and my life is extremely difficult. My parents naturally feel uneasy. But my parents know the big picture and take care of the big picture. They are revolutionary cadres and participated in the New Fourth Army. Seeing my great determination, they supported my action. At that time, my thought was very progressive. I thought that our generation of young people should go to the most difficult environment to temper themselves and dedicate their youth to the construction of the motherland. But what I didn't expect was that the delegation didn't approve my request because my eye disease was unqualified. I was sad for several days, but I didn't give up my desire to support the border. I worked hard in many ways, wrote three application reports and went to the reception station several times to find a delegation from Huzhong District, Heilongjiang Province. I remember the last time I went to see them, a leader asked me, "Heilongjiang is very hard. Are you afraid? " I said, "I won't sign up for fear of suffering." He asked me again, "Why are you so nearsighted?" I replied: "There are also people wearing glasses in Heilongjiang. They can survive and I can survive. " He smiled and said, "You are so young and so far away from home. Don't you miss home? " ? I said, "Revolutionary youth are ambitious in all directions. Where there is suffering, there is us. Besides, I was born in a revolutionary family. How can I not be revolutionary? " After listening to my words, all the comrades in the delegation laughed, and one of them said, "This boy is quite determined." My persistent spirit finally touched them, and soon, I was allowed to go to the sideline.
Although I love my parents, my home and my land, I can go to the "front line" without hesitation when my motherland needs me. I'm not afraid of suffering, and I can afford it!
On February 25th of that year, 12, I bid farewell to my parents and hometown, and embarked on a journey to support the frontier. I remember the day when I saw you off. This is such an exciting scene. Hangzhou Zhakou Station was crowded with people, and it was dark. The station is too small to squeeze human feelings. How many parents, brothers, sisters and friends came to see me off, and everyone's face showed a feeling of reluctance. With a long sound, the train started. In an instant, the crowd was boiling. I don't know who said what, and I can't hear who said what. Many people were in tears and kept waving. Under the carriage, someone waved and ran with the car until the train was out of sight. My parents also came to see me off, only to see my father wiping his tears behind his back. I was so sad that I stood there like a Woodenhead and couldn't let it go for a long time.
The train has been running for 3 days and 4 nights. 10 On February 30th, we arrived in Huzhong. From then on, we started a new life.
On my first night at No.2 Road Construction Company and No.4 Road Construction Company, I also had a war of words with the cooks in the local canteen. It's interesting to say. I was a small man, but I was fearless. He thinks I'm small and easy to bully, and gives me less food stamps when buying food. I refused, and they argued. In a rage, I went to the company to report him. This accusation left a deep impression on the leaders. They think I dare say that makes sense. Later, when I found out that I could write and draw, I appreciated me even more. Soon, when I was arranging personnel, I became the platoon leader of the second row of women's volleyball. Since then, I have a responsibility on my shoulders.
The first time I went to Heilongjiang Branch for the Spring Festival, everyone was homesick. On New Year's Eve, many people cried. Although I didn't shed tears, I was also very sad and couldn't say a word of comfort to everyone. The company cooked delicious meals, and the company commander and deputy company commander visited everyone in various tents, telling jokes from time to time, just like coaxing children to make everyone happy. Let us feel that this place is also home and happy. Our company commander Wang Huiqiao was only 30 years old at that time, and our deputy company commander Xue Shoushan was 24 years old. And the youngest among the young people in our frontier is l5, who is generally around the age of 16 or 17, and will inevitably feel homesick. Our first year in the north was spent crying.
Life in Daxing 'anling is very hard and monotonous, and there is almost no entertainment except work, study and sleep day after day. We'll just play by ourselves. I often go to Huma River to sing and tell jokes after work. At that time, a popular song "My lovely hometown, the ancient city of Nanjing" was sung to comfort myself when I was homesick. The beautiful Huma River once brought a lot of joy to my life and solved many worries for us.
Our educated youth's job is to go up the mountain to cut wood and trees in winter, solve the food burning by ourselves, and open mountains and build roads in summer. Summer in the north is very cool. It was scorching sun just now, and then it began to rain in Mao Mao. When building roads, I have to get up at 3 o'clock every morning and go to the construction site to build roads. I had breakfast at the construction site, and I ate corn buns. Although it's not delicious, I'm hungry and I don't care about anything.
We live in a tent, and it's MINUS 40 degrees at the coldest time. I remember when we put up slogans on tents, we just poured water on the slogans and tents, and the water froze and the slogans stuck. To drink water, you have to go to the Huma River a mile away. The river freezes early, so cars can drive. You must blast the hole with a * to get water. I ate sorghum rice and corn steamed bread. Only when you are sick can you enjoy "sick rice"-rice porridge. The food is simple. Boil a large pot of water, put some dried vegetable leaves, then add salt and oil, and the dish is ready. In order to improve the food, we exchanged the food stamps issued by the canteen with the locals for potatoes. I don't know why, but I didn't feel hard at that time. I probably had a hard time in my heart. How happy young people are now, and they simply can't understand the hard life we had at that time. .
I remember one thing. One spring, someone accidentally threw cigarette butts up the mountain, which triggered a forest fire. At that time, our company was surrounded by trees and the mountain was on fire. Everyone is nervous. In spring, the wind is very strong, blowing east and west for a while. I only heard the sound of "scratching, scratching", and the trees in the mountains fell, which was very scary. Company leaders quickly organized people and opened a barrier around our company. Many of our educated youth spontaneously went up the mountain to put out the fire, without considering their own lives, and were very brave. The fire burned for seven days and nights, and a large area of forest was destroyed, which caused great losses to the country.
1973 10 This month is an unforgettable thing in my memory. We were working on the construction site that day when we had a temporary rest when we suddenly heard a loud noise. Later, I learned that a young woman in our class lit the fuse. Li, the monitor, was afraid of an accident and grabbed it in his hand. Unexpectedly, she lit the detonator in her pocket. When I arrived at the scene, I was shocked to see four people running around the circle. No one knew who was injured. I saw a big pool of blood on a person's chest, but she was not hurt. Later, when I saw one of them lose his whole palm, I shouted, "Li Amin, where's your hand?" At that time, Li Amin was also afraid, and the sudden disaster might not feel pain. I woke up with a cry and saw that my whole hand was gone. She cried and shouted, "My hand is gone, my hand is gone!" " "Gradually, her mental failure, she fell down. I was also stunned by what happened in front of me. I don't know where I got the courage. I hugged her at once, but she was heavier than me and could hardly drag her. I grasped her shoulder tightly and walked back with difficulty. Many people rushed to hear the news and were frightened to see this scene. One of the soldiers nicknamed "Big Man" is more experienced. He immediately untied the rope hanging the key and tied it to Li Amin's wrist. We both dragged back with one shoulder in our arms. Then the company came and took her directly to the hospital. I ran back to the construction site alone, trying to get my blown-up hand back, only to find that the earthen basket on the construction site was stained with a little flesh and was very broken, and there was nothing else. I looked at the sky, and several crows flew by, and there was silence all around, so sad. I was so scared in the desolation that I ran back to the company without looking back. For many days in a row, my mind was full of that scene. If you don't pay attention to safety, what a profound lesson!
There are many long stories in Daxinganling. Seven years of ups and downs, ups and downs, everything, can't end.
At the age of 24, I was transferred back to Hangzhou. Because of my diligence and hard work, plus my specialties and hobbies, I transferred to the company's trade union from the grassroots level after l0 years. I love my job, I work hard, I work hard, and I have made great achievements. I am more professional in propaganda and blackboard newspaper, and I have been praised by my superiors and peers many times. I am a serious person. As long as I do something, I always try my best to do it well. I like art. My work won the third place in the national railway "Engineering Cup" painting and calligraphy competition, and other works of art won many awards in the Shanghai Railway Bureau and the overall female worker painting and calligraphy competition. The blackboard newspaper I run is very attractive with pictures and texts. The surrounding communities and streets often ask me for help in drawing blackboard newspapers for competitions, and I always win prizes.
In 2004, when the company was restructured, I moved to an ancient street in Qinghefang, Hangzhou, and started my third turning point in my life-starting a business. I am good at knitting, observing and thinking. I draw inferences from others and think creatively. I can make all kinds of small handicrafts by hand, which are very popular in the market.
Last year (2005), shortly after I entered the market, I was interviewed by Zhejiang TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and then I made a special report on the financial news of Zhejiang TV. Hangzhou's Urban Express and Market Newspaper reported my handmade products one after another. On the eve of Valentine's Day this year, Hangzhou Daily Business Daily launched a three-day "Blessing of Love" activity with the theme of my handmade product "Valentine's Doll", which had a great influence. Many young people have a special liking for the "couple doll" made by me, especially the tourists from Southeast Asian countries. When they see my small handicrafts, they always buy a few boxes to take back to their relatives and friends. Last winter, a Beijinger in the United States walked several times in Where Street in Hangzhou, and finally chose my "couple doll". He bought 20 boxes at once, and prepared to return them to China people in the United States, so that they would not forget their motherland.
