Zhang Fuqing: I will not change my mind if I hide my fame and fortune.
In 1955, Zhang Fuqing, who was already a cadre of the 359 Brigade, retired from the army and changed jobs. In response to the national call, Zhang Fuqing took the initiative to work in laifeng county, Enshi, Hubei Province, the most remote place, to support the construction of poor mountainous areas. In his years of work, he never mentioned military exploits, nor did he ever ask the organization for anything. He rushed to where it was most difficult and nobody went. In case of drought, he led the people into the mountains to find water; The traffic was inconvenient, so he carried explosives on his back to dig the road with gravel. For the people, it is a lifetime.

In November 2018, Zhang Fuqing needed to implant an intraocular lens for cataract surgery, and the doctor recommended him products ranging from 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. As a retired cadre, Zhang Fuqing could have chosen a better intraocular lens, but I heard that the farmer’s patient in the same ward used more than 3,000 yuan, and Zhang Fuqing also chose the cheapest one like the patient. When someone asked him why, he said, "I am satisfied with everything I eat and use now." I can’t do anything for the country anymore. It is a little bit to save. "
For more than 60 years, Zhang Fuqing deliberately concealed his achievements, even his children did not know. At the end of 2018, in the information collection of retired soldiers, Zhang Fuqing’s deeds were discovered, and this heroic past reappeared in front of people. After the touching story was reported by many parties, some people were puzzled by Zhang Fuqing’s move to hide his brilliant military achievements. In this regard, the old man once choked up and said, "When I think of the soldiers who fought side by side with me, several of them are gone. Compared with them, what qualifications do I have to show them in front of the people … …”
During the war years, he charged ahead and made outstanding achievements; In peacetime, he hid his fame and made silent contributions. In the army, he defended his country; Wherever he goes, he benefits the people. After 36 years of retirement, Zhang Fuqing and his wife still live in the old-fashioned residential building. Step 31 is the distance from his bedside to the living room; Twenty-five steps is his leap from his home on the second floor to the downstairs. After amputation at the age of 88, this is his most familiar route.
Zhang Fuqing stuck to his original heart all his life, never changed his true colors, and wrote a wonderful life with simplicity, purity and indifference to fame and fortune. For more than 70 years, from the War of Liberation to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, from the front line of aiding Xinjiang to the construction of Enshi, he silently fulfilled the clank oath of "I can sacrifice everything for the party and the people" and explained with actions what it means to keep party member’s true colors forever. Zhang Fuqing, a true hero!
Huang Wenxiu: Burning Youth and Dedicating Yourself.
In 2016, as a master graduate of Beijing Normal University, Huang Wenxiu chose to give up the opportunity to work in a big city and resolutely returned to his hometown to work in the old revolutionary base area of Baise, Guangxi. At the beginning of 2018, she volunteered to be the first resident secretary in Baini Village. Since entering the village, she has tried to integrate into local life, visited from house to house, and learned to speak dialects. When she went to a poor household, she took off her coat to help sweep the yard and do farm work. There was no one at home in the poor households, so she went to the fields to help pick sugar oranges and plant camellia oleifera, and talked at home while working. Slowly, Huang Wenxiu’s enthusiasm moved the villagers, and everyone accepted her.

In order to solve the road problem in the village, Huang Wenxiu made a field survey and took the village cadres to make plans and take countermeasures; In order to solve the industrial problems in the mountains, she studied experience and found ways with the masses to develop characteristic industries such as Chinese fir, sugar orange, star anise and loquat. In order to open up sales channels, she took the whole village to develop e-commerce … … During Huang Wenxiu’s tenure, 103 poor households in Baini Village successfully lifted 88 households out of poverty, and the income of village collective economic projects doubled. On the day of the sacrifice, despite the thunder and lightning and heavy rain, Huang Wenxiu kept in touch with the village party branch and village committee cadres along the way, asking about the local rain and disaster situation, and especially told him to pay attention to several key villages and villages and immediately organize the masses to prevent and rescue disasters.
"Every day is hard, but I am very happy." These are the words left by Huang Wenxiu in his notes in the village. She devoted herself to the front line of poverty alleviation, made no regrets, sacrificed her ego, achieved her greatness, burned her youth, and planted love and hope in the hearts of countless people. Heart for the people, selfless struggle, and dedication. She stuck to her original mission with her life and wrote a touching song of youth.
