Chapter 22 21. Deng Pingshou - a model public servant of a secretary with mud feet

Deng Pingshou (1956-2007), male, Han nationality, from Liangping County, Chongqing City, a member of the Communist Party of China.During his lifetime, he was Secretary of the Party Committee of Hucheng Town, Liangping County, Chongqing City. Thousands of people empty the streets, this is the highest respect for the public servants from the people of Hucheng; tears and rain are flying together, this is the deepest mourning for the heroic spirits from the mountains and rivers in Chiqu. In this piece of green mountains and green waters where Hongyan martyrs once shed their blood, and in this red land where the Hongyan spirit was bred and carried forward, the name of another outstanding Communist Party member came from here, spread throughout the land of Bashu, and passed on. To the mountains and rivers of China.

"It has been more than 20 years since the reform and opening up, and the common people are still shouldering their burdens. We are sorry for them! I want to let the people of Hucheng live a really good life." In the "city" supported by tens of meters of stone roads and several pavements, one stop there, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet - that is the Tiger City in the 1970s. In 1998, Deng Pingshou, who had just taken over this "poor family", was suffocating in his heart: let the people in Hucheng live a really good life. One year, in order to build a road that would benefit the people in several villages, he mobilized the masses to raise funds, and most of the people voluntarily contributed.But later someone wrote to the relevant departments in the city to report the situation.Due to the issue of farmers' burden, the city forwarded it to the county for investigation and processing, requesting the return of the farmers' raised funds.On that day, many villagers cried: they were afraid of the days of "covered in ashes on sunny days and covered in mud on rainy days", and they were unwilling to refund their money.In the eyes of the folks who have been poor for several generations, nothing can move them more than the hope of a real good life.In order to build roads, Deng Pingshou worked hard from door to door, and took the lead in donating money from his tight salary; he spent day and night on the road construction site, digging roadbeds, lifting stones, moving materials, and rushing to do everything. .With little sleep and heavy labor intensity, he fainted on the construction site several times due to overwork. The anxious villagers sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment, but the villagers returned to the construction site, and he rushed to the construction site after waking up.With this hard work, Deng Pingshou mobilized the cadres and masses of the whole town. In just a few years, Hucheng basically realized the transportation network of county roads connecting village roads, village roads connecting group roads, and village group roads entering farmers.And Deng Pingshou's economic development ideas have already borne fruit in this gradually weaving transportation network.

At the beginning of his tenure as the secretary of the town party committee, Deng Pingshou resoundingly put forward the development idea of ​​"playing a dragon well and growing a worm". "One dragon" refers to the grapefruit belt, and "one worm" refers to sericulture.These two are the traditional industries of Hucheng, but they have not developed much.Deng Pingshou led the masses to boldly brighten and ignite the hope of getting rich one by one by relying on the hard work of "beating the cow's head".Over the past few years, the annual per capita income of farmers in Hucheng has increased from only 800 yuan in 1998 to more than 2,000 yuan.

"The farmer's problem is in the field. I sit in the car, and the farmer will not come to me to talk to me." Deng Pingshou is a well-known figure among the cadres in Liangping County. Since he became the Secretary of the Party Committee of Hucheng Town, the changes in Hucheng City are obvious to all: transportation, sericulture and many other tasks have been ranked first in the county all year round.Except for meetings, Deng Pingshou spent a long time in the village, walking more than ten miles every day, no matter the wind or the sun.It is that on every market day, as long as the door of Deng Pingshou's office is open, the villagers rushing to the market will happily sneak in one by one.The brown artificial leather sofa in Deng Pingshou's office can squeeze about 10 people, and the cushions have long been worn white.On the way to Deng Pingshou's village, the villager brought out a glass of water with a smile on his face, and he handed him a cigarette. Such a harmonious relationship between the cadres and the masses cannot be achieved in an office.Deng Pingshou used his foot to flatten the hurdle between the office and the field.He doesn't ride in a car, doesn't wear a straw hat, wears a pair of rubber shoes, and carries a washed-white military satchel on his shoulder. He is no different from any old farmer in the countryside. On the 70-square-kilometer land boundary, he knows which mulberry tree trunk is not painted white, and which road has a stone collapsed. The alias of "Secretary Tian Kan" comes from this.

At 7:05 a.m. on January 15, 2007, the cell phone of Yuan Yongfu, director of the village committee of Daxing Village, rang.When he saw that it was Secretary Deng’s phone call, he was not surprised at all. It has been Deng Pingshou’s habit for many years to call the village cadres every morning and night to exchange work. What is strange is that Secretary Deng’s voice is like a thread: “How is the mulberry tree planted in your village? ? To be planted..." Yuan Yongfu, who was used to Deng Pingshou's rough and loud voice, did not answer, but asked repeatedly: "Secretary Deng, what's wrong with you?"After standing in a daze for a while, Yuan Yongfu quickly dialed the number of his third sister who worked in the Hucheng Central Health Center. The news was like thunder: Secretary Deng was ill and was sent to Chongqing University last night. The doctor diagnosed it as acute pancreatitis.Yuan Yongfu knew in his heart that Deng Pingshou still called him from the hospital bed, and he was still worried about Daxing Village's struggle to create a "Thousand Dan Village of Silkworms".

After that, Yuan Yongfu stubbornly dialed the number that he knew so well several times a day, but no one answered.At this time, Deng Pingshou fell into a deep coma and never woke up again. From then on, Bo Xuan began to mourn, and Hu Cheng cried for days.The departure of Deng Pingshou caused thousands of people in Hucheng to weep and mourn like a cloud. Since then, the thoughts and memories have never stopped...
