Chapter 14 13. A Brilliant Lifetime Invaluable Legacy

The Soviet scholar Herzen once said: "Comprehensively understand the past - we can figure out the current situation; deeply understand the meaning of the past - we can reveal the meaning of the future; looking backward - is to move forward." History is created by people, and it also creates people. It is people who make monuments to history, and it is history who makes monuments to people. To build a monument to history is for the people who come later; to build a monument is for the later history. Jatov has completed his 54 years of life, which is short but full, bumpy but tragic, ordinary but glorious, and history has engraved a monument for him.He is well-deserved, because after all, he has made a selfless contribution to history and left a legacy to future generations.If people understand it and accept it, then these heritages will be real, precious and available for future generations to benefit from.

Jia Tuofu had a clear belief all his life, and he fused himself more and more firmly into the magnificent cause of benefiting the country, the nation, and the majority of people. After repeated setbacks, he never looked back.According to the recollection of some old people: Jia Tuofu was a talented student of Suide Normal University, which is the "highest institution of learning" in northern Shaanxi. With his outstanding academic performance and performance in school, he became a "little scholar" in three years, and made a name for himself. It is not a problem to be a part-time official, or to be a respected teacher with a fixed income and to live a moderately prosperous life.It is entirely possible to be recommended by others, to further study, to go to a university, to leave the barren high slope of the loess, and to stand out.But he didn't go that way.

In the environment of white terror, he insisted on fighting.White terror is mainly aimed at revolutionaries and those who sympathize with revolutionaries.Jatuofu was in the danger of being caught and beheaded every day. Although he was young, he knew that he would be killed at any time.In fact, he had been betrayed and imprisoned in death row, and had tasted what it was like to wear iron handcuffs and iron chains on his feet.But after he escaped from prison, he became more determined to fight against the reactionary rulers.Even if the party organization was destroyed, he never wavered when he was almost desperate.In his later five-character poem, he wrote: "Break through the pass and resign to the northwest, and was ordered to visit Ruijin", that is, to find the party and to go down a road.

On the long march that has gone through all the hardships in the world, he and the fearless warriors have spent unforgettable years that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.He also ate leather belts and used the feces of the people in front of him to "wash" the undigested raw highland barley to satisfy his hunger.But he once sang sincerely: "Which is the hard work for? To resist Japan and save China", and forged a tenacious character. If it is not easy to stand the test of hardship and life-and-death, then it also requires firm belief and will to stand the test of honor and disgrace.In the face of both tests, Jatov showed a true communist style.Perhaps, the former environment is a little farther away from today's reality, and the latter situation will still happen frequently; There are far fewer people in China, so we are particularly impressed by Jatov's open-mindedness and conscientiousness in the face of adversity constructed consciously or unconsciously by his own people during the period of peace and construction.Under such circumstances, many people tend to blame others, feel disheartened, lament their fate, and never want to do anything; there are also many people under such circumstances, often fall into nihilism, disregard the world, and stay as far away from human affairs as possible; There are also many people in this situation, who are often limited by kindness and resentment, cynical, calculating, brooding, or complaining about injustice all day long, or laying bare their courage, waiting for it to take revenge.Jatov is different from these people.He used to be overwhelmed and in pain, but he was able to grasp himself very quickly, and quickly cheered up again.The work environment can change, but the work attitude remains the same.Although personal ups and downs, advances and retreats, and even personal honors and disgraces, grievances and grievances are not completely ignored, they can always be taken lightly and taken calmly.He was never negative in life, never pessimistic and disappointed.He believes in history and the cause he devoted himself to by giving up everything; he believes that "history always has some regrettable mistakes, but truth must win after all"; he believes in his own essence, character and actions, even if there are mistakes and shortcomings, It should and is entirely possible to enter a higher level through continuous overcoming. What is absolutely needed is not only to embody and practice in adversity, but also in adversity.Isn't this a kind of deeper self-forgetfulness?

General Huang Kecheng, who was called a "model of the generation" by Chen Yun, who had galloped on the battlefield and made outstanding achievements, was wrongly criticized and fought against, and was dismissed as a "member of the right opportunist anti-party group". , The five lakes and four seas celebrate the harvest" poem.What he is worried about at this time is not his own destiny, but the vast number of people who have suffered the bitter fruit of the Great Leap Forward more directly than him, and are worried about food, drink and clothing.What he wishes for is that "Tian Gong" will be beautiful, the weather will be smooth, and the country will live in peace and prosperity.They are always closely linking themselves with the cause of the people.This is the belief of this generation of Communists.

Jatov never wavered in this belief.After the Lushan Conference, he was criticized and demoted. Although his heart was painful, he was still able to see the problem from another angle.On the one hand, he believes that history will clarify and prove that they are not "anti-party" and their loyalty can be learned from; on the other hand, he thinks that the cause will eventually advance.So he wrote the poem "Lushan knows righteousness".He asked to go to the grassroots and practice in the fiery life of mass production and struggle.When he has this kind of opportunity, he can forget the past, "has already thrown himself into the stove", can "settled in Xishan and is willing to work", can "put down his stinky airs and be willing to be a screw", can "know the road of an old horse, and be willing to work on a cliff". To climb bravely", to be able to work down-to-earth and diligently, and to be sincere, full of emotion, and undiminished. .Isn’t that a deeper level of selflessness?

People need a little spirit.And the peak of the human spiritual realm is selflessness, selflessness, perseverance, and perseverance like the older generation of Communists.And this spirit comes from a belief, a persistent pursuit.Only by consciously melting oneself into the cause of fighting for the fundamental interests of the vast majority of people, only by fully consciously standing on the height of historical development, and only by adhering to historical materialism can this be achieved.This is called the true, mature, and high-level principle of party spirit.Individual self-cultivation, personal tenacity, and personal pursuit of "self-realization" cannot be achieved and persisted for a long time.

What people and history need is this kind of spirit and this kind of belief.Especially in contemporary times, when our socialist cause is facing a profound change, we need this spirit and this belief even more.This is by no means a euphoric word deliberately uttered in memory of the Jatovs, nor is it an idealistic preaching in traditional concepts, but a very realistic social need and an inevitable need for historical progress.isn't it?Just imagine, what does a society without ideals and goals look like?Without a force and a large number of key elements to influence and drive the masses, to bring the society together, and to advance towards this goal, what would society be like?How can people imagine that a great historic cause could be successful without the spirit of repeated setbacks and repeated setbacks shown by Jatov and the older generation of revolutionaries?What can the people expect from the party and its cadres who represent and lead them?It is also based on this that people feel more deeply than ever that Jatov's life, especially his last 10 years, is more glorious; it is more meaningful to review and summarize his life.

Jatov's brilliance is not only manifested in the indomitable belief. His belief is not manifested as a romantic expression like a poet, not as an ideal call as a writer, or as a thinker. It is a high-spirited talk like a critic; it is shown as a serious practice like a revolutionist, and a pioneering spirit like a doer.He has been working hard all his life and doing things in a down-to-earth manner.He puts his loyalty and pursuit of career into every specific job he does.In his view, all kinds of work, up and down, in all aspects, large and small, and their integration are all part of the whole business, and the progress and success of each job constitutes and promotes the progress of the whole business .He poured all his energy into creating new aspects of the work he took on.Therefore, every period of work he has done is quite successful, pioneering, and has practical achievements.The party evaluated him as "one of the leaders with unique insights and talents".This "uniqueness" is pioneering; this "talent" is actual performance.

Looking at what he has done in his life, whether it is opening roads to raise food on the Long March, or leading the anti-Japanese national united front in Shaanxi; Whether it is taking over Xi'an, consolidating the political power, or developing the national economy in an all-round way during the first five-year plan; whether it is in the central leadership or in grassroots industrial and mining enterprises, he has outstanding performance and good political achievements.It can be said that his life was a pioneering life and a fruitful life.He is loyal to the party's line, but also has the courage to explore and innovate.Turn loyalty into hard work, turn responsibility into progress, don't perfunctory, don't boast, don't talk, pay attention to actual results, don't engage in bells and whistles, actively create, and don't seek quick success.Every time I take on a task, I take responsibility seriously, and every time I do a job, I really make achievements.In the past few decades, he has changed many positions and done many things, and has achieved new achievements in almost every stage.Even when Shougang has no specific tasks, it can help others to do some practical work.Moreover, every time he changes a job, it is mostly because he has shown talent in the previous job, and the latter job needs him to develop.He "promoted" very quickly, not by qualifications, relationships, or support, but by performance and ability.His experience records his real contribution, and also records his down-to-earth and hard-working style.

The cause of the Communist Party of China is a great success.This success is not only due to the fact that her beliefs, ideals and programs have attracted the vast majority of the people, but also due to her long-term and unyielding practice together with the people.The China of today is by no means the same as the China of a few decades ago. A republic that stands tall among the nations of the world and cannot be underestimated by anyone is not painted or blown out, but done.The days to come are still very long, and will be very difficult and arduous, and will require the hard work of generations to come.Among them, the first thing that is needed and irreplaceable is the leading political party and its core members, who work harder and more steadfastly than any other force and people.It is a pity that today there are some leaders, large and small, who seem to be able to get by without working so hard.Some people do not rely on hard work, but rely on other means and "skills". Not only can they get by, but they can also do well and rise quickly.In fact, this shows that something is wrong with the social body.People have reason to deeply miss the brightly lit office buildings of government agencies in the Zhou Enlai era, and miss the work attitude of Jia Tuofu who regard work as their whole life and do every job well. They have reason to expect and encourage big and small Leaders, be diligent like the Jatovs of the 1950s.Because only with diligence and hard work can there be hope; diligent governance can lead to a clean government, and ineffective governance itself is the most terrible corruption. Jatov worked diligently throughout his life, and he was also a real person.His simplicity, honesty, sincerity, and integrity are well-known.He never engages in politics, plays tricks, never pulls in circles or forms cliques.Someone commented: Jatov is too bookish and inexperienced in the complicated political life.may be.Objectively, due to his special experience and his personal style, he does have some "lack of self-protection".From a certain point of view, he does not belong to any "mountain" ("mountain" exists objectively in reality, the problem is to deal with it well), perhaps in the eyes of some people in the central government, he is a cadre in the Northwest, while in the From the perspective of people in the Northwest, he is a cadre of the central government.He went from northern Shaanxi and Shaanxi to the Central Soviet Area, and then returned to Shaanxi with the Red Army on the Long March; he went from a job in the Northwest to a leadership position in the Central Committee.This kind of job change is completely normal, but in some cases, this may be a "disadvantage", a situation where people are easy to make a fuss about.Although he has a public heart, does things seriously, and never engages in gossiping or bragging, he was almost put into Peng Dehuai's "military club" for a while, and was labeled as the so-called "Xi Jialiu Group" for no reason. , which probably has something to do with his "disadvantage". Of course, this is a product of abnormal political life within the party, and it is already a thing of the past.In retrospect, however, there is reason to hope that this regrettable situation will never happen again. "We are all from all corners of the country", in terms of personal experience and personal relationship, it is natural that there will be differences between closeness and distance, but since we "come together for a common revolutionary goal", we should be equal to each other Work together with trust.History has proved that when the relationship is healthy, intimate and harmonious, the team will be strong and the career will flourish; and when the relationship becomes complicated, some small group interests and personal self-interest will seep into it. Plans, internal conflicts are everywhere, the air becomes stale and unhealthy, and when the team becomes loose and lacks combat effectiveness, the career will be damaged and frustrated. On this land of China, to accomplish such a grand cause that requires the long-term struggle of millions of people, how much it requires the spirit of unity and concerted efforts!How people hope that there will be fewer tragedies like Jatov, and less internal friction!Some people say that "fighting in the nest" is the inferiority of Chinese people.In fact, benevolence, friendship, unity, and harmony are also Chinese cultural traditions.In a society with classes, struggle is inevitable.The struggle between different classes and different political interest groups is inevitable.However, in the Communist Party, in the cause of working together for the interests of the overwhelming majority of people, it should be and can be avoided that troubles arise and fight against each other.In the period of peaceful construction, how to solve this problem well, find a method and approach that can accommodate and correctly handle internal relations and different opinions, unify the will and unite comrades, seek common ground while reserving minor differences, distinguish right from wrong while not Hurting people is still an important task to strengthen the party's self-construction and improve the party's leadership.It can also be said that it is a task for the Communist Party to continuously transform its own subjective world while leading the people to transform the objective world. Although Jiatuofu himself has been wronged several times and has had many twists and turns in his life, he has always been generous and sincere to his comrades, and never punished others. Those who have fought and worked with him have unanimously praised him; he has always respected Superiors, respect comrades, even if they are unfair, they will not "retaliate with an eye".So his comradeship has always been very good, and people say "Jatov is really a good man", largely because of this. In 1957, when the anti-rightist struggle was launched across the country, no one in the Fourth Office of the State Council in charge of Jia Tuofu was labeled as a "rightist", and there were targets and tasks at that time.Someone reminded him: It is not easy to explain this matter to the party committee of the state organ.However, Jia Tuofu said clearly: "I am the person in charge here, and I am responsible to the party committee. I always have to seek truth from facts!" This incident was indeed commendable under the circumstances at that time, and it not only reflected Jia Tuofu's consistent ideological style of insisting on seeking truth from facts , It also reflects his loyal and sincere quality towards comrades.At work, he often takes the initiative to take responsibility, checks himself, and never asks for credit. Jatov has clear requirements for himself and is very strict in self-discipline.He has said to others: To do things for people, we must start from reality, tell the truth, do honest things, be an honest person, and seek truth from facts.These five "truths" became his life motto.He also said: "It is not an easy thing to truly achieve these "real" characters. The environment is complex. But it is precisely because of complexity that "real" is more needed. To respond to the "real" The ever-changing complexity is the fundamental strategy." Yes!Opportunistic, clever, dishonest, good at making money, can be counted for a while, but not for a long time.After all the tricks are exhausted, even if you are exquisite in all aspects and live a lifetime of cleverness, after the coffin is built, it may not be famous for future generations, but it will leave a bad reputation forever.The real affairs of the world are run by these honest people; the real progress of society is driven by thousands of honest people.The complexity of the world is largely caused by dishonest people.We can see from Jatov's life that it is precisely because he adheres to the tenet of "seeking truth" that he can pay attention to investigation and research everywhere, can combine reality to produce "unique insights", and can not only rely on books, not only on the above, but become a man of seeking truth from facts. Only by being a role model can we proceed from reality and make practical achievements.A leader can only be considered a competent leader and a leader who is beneficial to society only if he truly does these things.Of course, as Jatov said, it is not easy to truly achieve the five "realities", and sometimes it often takes a heavy price, even political life.However, if there were not many people who are as pragmatic as Jia Tuofu to do practical things, and if the vast majority of people did not end up on this road after repeated repetitions, then how could there be today's progress and development? ?Isn't the world already in chaos? Jatov's serious and honest attitude is not only reflected in his attitude towards work, comrades, and career, but also in his personal life and style.He has always asked himself to act in strict accordance with the standards of a Communist Party member, always insisting on being an ordinary worker, never caring about personal treatment, and never engaging in any specialization.During the difficult years of the underground struggle in Shaanxi and Yan'an, he was in poor health and worked very hard, but he never asked the organization to take more care of him, even when he was suffering from severe lung disease, the doctor concluded that he would not live long In such a situation, he didn't say a word, just gritted his teeth and persisted.After liberation, the standard of living was better and his status was higher. He even felt that he was many times better than the majority of workers, peasants and cadres. He thought that he "already lived a life of communism". Thinking about the individual, thinking about life and treatment?He once said to his children: "During the decades of struggle, how many good comrades have sacrificed for the cause of the party. Without them, there would be no today. They are gone, but those we left behind have power, status and treatment." .If you don’t work hard to shoulder their unfinished work, how can you comfort the comrades who died? What kind of revolutionaries are you! Struggle for personal things is ideological degeneration!” It is precisely this kind of thinking that he demands of himself. When Jia Tuofu was the director of the Fourth Office of the State Council and the Minister of Light Industry, his family lived in a large courtyard with a garden in Shaojiu Hutong, Dongcheng, Beijing. There were dozens of houses, but his living was very unstable.He believes that everyone's housing is very tight, and it is too wasteful for his family to live in so many houses, and he is also divorced from the masses.So he took the initiative to put forward his opinions to the organization, and the organization arranged for two deputy ministers from the Ministry of Machinery and Textile to live in him.But he still felt uneasy, and proposed to the organization the idea of ​​moving his family to the dormitory area of ​​Sanlihe and living in a unit.He said: "Why can't we live in the dormitory area like ordinary cadres?" Later, the Office Affairs Administration introduced a small courtyard in Wuding Hutong, Xicheng. After simply converting the hallway into a bathroom, the whole family lived in it.Until the "Cultural Revolution" he was persecuted to death and the whole family was kicked out of this yard. Such small things seem indifferent now, but Jatov was very serious back then.When he was the Minister of Light Industry, some new light industry products were often sent for inspection and trial.While he is happy that the country continues to have new products that the people need in life, he always puts forward his opinions and asks the secretary to send them back together with the things he sent.Sometimes the secretary said: "These things are sent here, and it is useless to return them. They can be kept for the children." But he said seriously: "No, this is the property of the public. If the children need anything, go to the street. Go up and buy it." Apart from smoking, he had no other hobbies, and he had no requirements for the standard of living, until he passed away sadly, still wearing the old watch that had been worn for decades.That watch was exchanged by General Wang Zhen when he was in Yan'an in the 1940s.This old-fashioned Swiss watch is regarded as a treasure by the family and passed down to the eldest son.But the time of the watch was not accurate, so I took it to a watch shop for repairs. They said that the watch was "old and worn out" and could no longer be repaired. Even if something as "old and outdated" as that watch, Jatov didn't have much left.In addition to a few Chinese tunic suits that are usually changed and washed, there is a bathrobe given to him by Chen Yun, a fur coat given to him by He Long, a fruit knife given to him by Lin Boqu, and a pipe given to him by his brother-in-law Chang Cheng. An inkstone given to him by others, a silk embroidered portrait of Chairman Mao in a red sandalwood frame given to him by an old comrade from Shaanxi Province when he went to Beijing, and a few theoretical books (because most of his books are in the office After being criticized and demoted, they were not brought back)... People may not believe that a senior cadre, after decades of struggle, is actually such a "proletarian"!However, all of this is real. In our real life, there are people and things like Jatov.It is such people and such things, how invisibly and closely connected the party and the masses in the past, which produced such a huge material force and drove how many people to strive for a beautiful ideal!Now that the environment has changed and the conditions are better, many people have no interest in such things, and are not even willing to listen to them.Young people may regard these as preaching and impatient, or simply as a "generation gap"; older people may regard these as "outdated scriptures" and dismiss them as "old-fashioned".Of course, we cannot demand that today's people and leading cadres are still like the Jatovs and others. The problem does not lie in the specific form.However, hard work, diligence and simplicity, these good spirits should be carried forward forever. It is precisely because of this spirit that Jatov has strict requirements and education for his children.He does not allow his children to be contaminated with a special style of work, and always requires them to live as ordinary people and study and work with high standards.He hated the superiority and specialization of the children of cadres very much. When the army awarded military ranks in 1955, the eldest son Hongsheng asked him: "I heard from my classmates that only generals can go to Tiananmen Square, and you are also on Tiananmen Square. If you have a military rank, who should you be?" He immediately became alert: "You Why do you ask this?" Then he pointed out to the children very seriously: "There is a very bad atmosphere among the children of some cadres, who are more senior than their parents. It seems that if their parents are more senior, their own social status will also be higher, and they will be too arrogant. What do your parents do? It has nothing to do with you. You have not contributed to the revolution yet, but you have already enjoyed a high living standard too early. Don’t feel that this is something to be proud of and boast about. It is a debt to the people. I have to pay back my debts in the future. I can only study hard and have more skills so that I can repay the people more in the future." He also often said: "The sense of superiority of the children of cadres is actually a reflection of decadent feudalism. If you don't pay attention to overcoming this problem , it will not be of any benefit to yourselves or our party in the future." Not only did he have such oral education, but he also paid attention to training from real life.He did not allow his children to study at Yuying School, where the children of high-ranking cadres were more concentrated, but arranged for them to live in a more common school and live a collective life; Cultivate the style of a big spendthrift young master and young lady. Until they graduate from high school, they only give each child one or two yuan a month for pocket money; Iron feet, hammers, broken leather, etc. come to repair shoes, and let the children learn to repair shoes by themselves... Starting from these small things, the children's moral character is subtly cultivated. There is such a true story: One day in the 1950s, Peng Dehuai went to Jiatuofu’s house and saw that the black corduroy jackets worn by the children did not fit well. The dolls are dressed in such old clothes that you can’t tell the difference between male and female!” Bai Qian replied with a smile, “This was made for each of the four older children when they came to Beijing in 1952, and Hong Sheng’s is his. The second sister just gave it to him when she got too small. Boys grow fast, and they will fit right away. The little girl (referring to the fourth) should give this to her brother Xiaopang." Then he said to Peng Dehuai: "Actually, this is better than that in the Northwest." It’s much better.” Peng Dehuai said happily, “That’s right, well said! Some cadres have entered the city and become foreign buns. They look like officials, and their children are dressed like young masters. I’m on it, so I’m not going to follow you!” Turning to Jia Tuofu, he said, “Tuofu, you’re good at it!” People today may not believe that all 7 children wore the black jacket worn by the eldest brother at that time. Sometimes he took the time to ask about the study and living conditions of his children, and sometimes he took time to write letters to remind the children when he was on a business trip for a long time.A letter from him to his second daughter Xiaoli, which is still preserved, reads: "We must truly achieve three good things, not one good, nor two good things, but three good things; not verbally, but practically; not temporarily. It is permanent.” In the summer vacation of 1961, several children went to Fushun to visit their father.One day, Jatov showed the children a newspaper with photos: "Aha, another Soviet cosmonaut went to the sky, but unfortunately it was Titov from the Soviet Union, not Jatov from China." Everyone laughed. He supported his eldest son on the shoulder and said affectionately: "Jia Tuofu can't fly up, but Jia Tuofu's son can still fly. Our China is still very backward, but we must build it well. This requires the efforts of your generation. Hongsheng, do you have this ambition? In the future, you will also fly!" This event shocked his son, he studied hard, and finally passed the entrance examination of the Harbin Military Missile Engineering Department, and also joined the party at the college, becoming a three-good student.Jatov also paid special attention to asking children to get in touch with social reality and learn from the masses. During the summer vacation of 1965, when his eldest son, who was studying at the Harbin Military Engineering Institute, returned home, Jatuofu said to him: “You went to college and joined the army, but you still don’t understand society. You should use your vacation to participate in more social labor. Knowledge cannot be learned in university, it is indispensable.” The son obeyed his father’s instruction, and together with a few classmates, Chuanxiang’s cleaning team went to dig out the excrement.During the winter vacation, Jatuofu specially arranged for his son and several classmates to visit Shougang and work for a week to understand and learn how the workers work and live. In 1963, Dali, the eldest daughter, graduated from the History Department of Peking University with good grades and was assigned to teach Chinese at the School for Children of Workers of Beijing Fangshan Liulihe Cement Factory.This kind of work does not match the major he studied, and the working environment is also very unfamiliar. This kind of assignment cannot but be said to be affected by his father's situation, and Dali's mood fluctuates a little.After listening to his eldest daughter, Jia Tuofu asked excitedly: "Is it over? After talking so much, there are only two things: first, graduates from Peking University went to teach in unnamed middle schools, and they were disqualified; second, knowledgeable and civilized college students looked down upon Ignorant workers!" "No need to explain, even if what you said reflects a certain actual situation, doesn't that in turn prove how much knowledge and education are needed there? Why do you only think about your own profession and not the workers' Don’t you want to think about the needs of workers’ children? My mother and I both came from the countryside, but you look down on working people.” He severely criticized: “You think you are a child of a high-ranking cadre, and you went to a prestigious university. Is it noble if you have learned well? We have fought for the liberation of the working people all our lives, and how many people have shed blood and sacrificed their lives. But today our own children are unwilling to get close to the working people and serve them. How can this happen! It’s just forgetting your roots!” The children rarely saw their father so emotional and strict.Afterwards, Jatov patiently enlightened and said: "Our country needs to lay a solid foundation in all aspects, so as to develop faster. Therefore, your work is very meaningful." He encouraged the children to "go to the grassroots, to the workers Go, there is rich nutrition there, which can cure your problems and make you healthier. Go to work, exercise well, and look good.” Under the guidance of his father, the college student who graduated from the Department of History of Peking University, He worked diligently and enthusiastically in such a school for the children of workers for 15 years, dedicating his precious youth to the educational cause of training workers' children. In 1964, Jatov wrote a poem for a family photo: (Lei: Lei Feng; Wang: Wang Jie) He himself has spent his whole life working for the revolution and the country in the ups and downs. He also sincerely hopes that his family and children will not be afraid of wind and rain, regardless of gains and losses, and also dedicate their lives to the cause he believes in and fought for - serving the country , For the rejuvenation of the nation. During every major setback in Jatov's revolutionary career, his lover Bai Qian has always been his loyal comrade-in-arms and spiritual support, always believing in his loyalty to the party and the revolutionary cause, protecting him, supporting him, and never abandoning him.In any situation, Bessie supported their family with her thin body and protected the 7 children they raised together. On November 23, 1999, when the mother died and the children sorted out her belongings, they discovered the will written by Bessie 10 years ago.This will with only 222 words is worth a lot of money.The full text is as follows: Bai Qian participated in the revolution for more than 60 years, and only had a deposit of 15,000 yuan behind her.She, like Jatov, is a real "proletarian".And their spirit is a priceless legacy. Under the precepts and deeds of Jatov and Bai Qian, their seven children all grew up in ordinary jobs in grassroots units.None of them wanted to get special care due to the influence of their parents, and none of them were considered incompetent or not serious about work by the leaders and colleagues of the unit.They are all earnestly performing their duties and earnestly inheriting their father's behest. Jatov left the world, he came naked, and left in a hurry.In this world, he only lived for 54 years, which is really not long.In these 54 years, he has worked hard for 40 years for a goal and for his own choice, which is not short. In the past 40 years, he has grown from a poor boy suffering from suffering, resentment, and truth-seeking to a strong proletarian fighter, a mature leader, a loyal minister of the cause, and a friend of the public. In the past 40 years, he has experienced countless hardships, unspeakable twists and turns, tenacious struggles, and brilliant struggles. He has taken firm steps step by step, created tangible achievements, and left a string of shining footprints. .Although he left the cause he devoted himself to in his prime of life, although he regretted that there were still many things to do and longed to do more things, he was worthwhile after all, after all, he had selflessly done what he should do and what he could do. do everything. Although he failed to wear the crown of a "proletarian revolutionist" when he was rehabilitated, everything he did was recognized by the people and recognized by history.He is not inferior at all!Indeed, the essence of the matter is not what kind of good name to give to the dead veterans.It doesn't make much sense to go back and care about whether it's a certain family or a certain person.The question is how history treats their lives, and how the people treat their achievements.What is more practical and meaningful is to commemorate their contributions forever, inherit their unfinished business, and carry forward their spirit of dealing with the cause more sincerely, so that people who come later can live better and make history more magnificent.This is exactly what the older generation of revolutionaries, including Jatov, expected. Jatov was gone, prematurely gone forever.He and thousands of pioneers laid the foundation stone for the new China with their lives and all their energy.不论人们是否铭记或已忘记他们，也不论人们在不同的时刻是怎样赞誉或诋毁他们，他们作为老一代共产党人所做的努力，已经永远地灌注在我们民族乃至人类的命运之中。他们梦想着世界的大同，他们的选择和追求，他们的胆略和牺牲精神，他们的奋斗和业绩，以及他们的失败与成功，他们的苦恼、困惑和所走过的弯路，都已经永远地镌刻进我们民族和人类的发展历史之中。前人和后人并没有鸿沟，历史和未来是联在一起的。
