Guo Fenglian, a native of Dazhai Village, Xiyang, Shanxi, was born in September 1947. 1963, Dazhai village was baptized by seven days and seven nights of heavy rain, and this remote mountain village suffered heavy losses. The villagers' efforts for so many years were all in vain, and the hard-earned crops were destroyed. Some villagers' houses were washed away by the flood caused by heavy rain. When the villagers were sad and desperate, Chen Yonggui, the village party secretary, put forward a beautiful vision-milk, bread and new clothes, shouting upstairs and downstairs. Encouraged by the village party secretary, 23 girls from Dazhai Village participated in the activities of rebuilding their homes, and Guo Fenglian, who was only 16 years old, was one of them. These little girls formed the "Iron Girl Team".
Guo Fenglian was chosen as the captain because of his singing and dancing skills, strong expressive ability, and high comprehensive quality. She took 22 teenage girls to work and sang revolutionary songs to make them more motivated to work. Slogans such as "Mountains can't stop the sun, difficulties can't scare heroes" and "Make up your mind, be not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties and strive for victory" constantly inspire them. Under the leadership of Guo Fenglian, they created one agricultural miracle after another. This experience has a profound influence on her.
1964, with the concerted efforts of Qi Xin from the whole village, Dazhai Village, which had just experienced a catastrophe, achieved a grain harvest of 400,000 Jin, creating a miracle. When the story of Dazhai village reached the central government, the chairman also said, "learn Dazhai in agriculture!" " "At that time, Dazhai Village became an example for all villages in the country to learn. Chen Yonggui and Guo Fenglian became famous overnight and became household names. Later, Guo Fenglian recalled those years and said, "At that time, people in Dazhai Village worked hard. Only in this way can we create miracles! "
1965, Guo Fenglian led the iron girls to learn the advanced technology of planting trees in crevices of rocks in other villages, and began to plant trees and afforest in the villages. Then they went to dig wells and build water conservancy projects, doing as well as men. Later, Guo Fenglian went to school, was admitted to junior college, and 197 1 officially took part in the work.
Guo Fenglian is ambitious and unwilling to be ordinary. After that, she started her own business. Although her education level is not high, she is willing to study hard and actively sum up experience, and her business is OK. Today, she is the chairman of Dazhai Group and concurrently the secretary of the Party branch in the village. When she became rich herself, she did not forget to bring the villagers from Dazhai Village and surrounding villages with her. Guo Fenglian took the initiative to take out money to build roads for the village and work hard for his "Da Zhai Dream". Although she is rich, she has never hired a nanny. She does everything by herself, because she thinks it is very important for a woman to stand on her own feet at any time. Guo Fenglian's spiritual quality deserves women's admiration and study.
