Chapter 38 37. Ting Battelle——The Son of the Prairie Starts a Business for the People

Ting Bateer, male, Mongolian, from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, a member of the Communist Party of China. Born in 1955, he is currently Secretary of the Party Branch of Saruratu Yagacha in Abaga Banner of Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Ting Battelle was born in Hohhot in 1955. After graduating from Tumote Middle School in Hohhot in 1974, he jumped into the team and went to Honggergaole Sumusa Rulatuya Gacha in Abaga Banner of Xilin Gol League; In 1993, he served as the Secretary of the Gacha Party Branch. The year Ting Battelle was born, his father Ting Mao became one of the first four major generals in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region awarded by the Central Military Commission after the founding of the Republic. In 1974, after graduating from high school at the age of 19, Ting Battelle jumped into the queue and came to the Sarulatuya Grassland of Xilin Gol League thousands of miles away.The vast grasslands and the simple herdsmen made Ting Battelle relax physically and mentally.Soon, Tyn Battelle learned to cut grass, herd sheep, shear sheep, plant trees, and drive a tractor, and he worked very hard on everything.Unknowingly, he became a model for more than 40 educated youths in Gacha, and successively served as deputy Gacha chief, farm manager and forest farm director. In 1976, 21-year-old Ting Battelle joined the Communist Party of China honorably because of his outstanding work.

Before and after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, the educated youths from all over the country returned to the city.Facing the opportunity to return to the city again and again, Tyn Battelle gave in.When sending off the last batch of educated youths and returning to the educated youth point alone, he also hesitated in his heart: go?or stay?At this time, the brigade dairy factory was about to stop production due to successive years of losses. The brigade leader approached Ting Battelle, hoping that he would take over the responsibility of the factory director and revive the company.Looking at the expectant eyes, Ting Battelle nodded solemnly.He engaged in production during the day and modified the machine by lighting candles at night. After one year, the dairy factory finally had a surplus of 50,000 yuan.During the Spring Festival this year, Ting Battelle went home to visit relatives.The mother said distressedly: "Battle, come back!" He said: "As soon as I leave, the herdsmen cry, I can't go." This time, Ting Battelle made an exception and stayed at home for a few more days, and the herdsmen began to worry — Tyn Battle is definitely not coming back.A few days later, when he hurried back to Saruratuya Gacha, many herdsmen came after hearing the news. They brought food, clothing, and supplies. One herdsman didn't say a word, just She stepped forward and hugged him tightly, as if afraid that he would run away again.Tyn Battelle's eyes were full of hot tears, and his heart was filled with emotions.

In 1993, Ting Battelle took up the post of secretary of the Gacha Party branch.As soon as he took office, he started mobile herds for poverty alleviation: the Gacha collective herds were distributed to poor herdsmen for grazing. After 3 years of freeing, 70% of the young animals produced went to poor households.This measure quickly made the annual income of 21 impoverished households in Gacha approach or exceed 10,000 yuan. Saruratuya Gacha covers an area of ​​437.5 square kilometers.Due to overgrazing and natural disasters, many grasslands have been degraded into sandy nests.Tyn Battelle understands that if the livestock production method is not changed, the vicious cycle of poverty and ecological degradation will never be broken.Driven by him, the herdsmen planted trees and grasses one after another, set up net fences for rotational grazing, and at the same time dug wells and built livestock pens.The construction of infrastructure has enhanced the ability of disaster prevention and resilience in Gacha animal husbandry production.Once a snow disaster occurred, some cattle and sheep in other places died of freezing and some starved to death, but none of the livestock in Saru Ratuya Gacha died of starvation or cold.The herdsmen said convincingly: "It's definitely right to follow Secretary Battelle!"

The organization has prepared to promote Ting Battelle to be a cadre in Sumu, Qili, and League many times, but he always politely refuses: "I am not educated, and I am satisfied if I can do something for the common people." Although the culture is not high, no matter how big or small the situation is, as long as the herdsmen find him, there is almost nothing they can't solve. In January 2001, a rare blizzard swept across the Xilin Gol Grassland.Despite his wife's dissuasion, Tyn Battelle got into the family's dilapidated van and wobbled into the snowstorm.Saruratuya Gacha is more than 40 kilometers away from the two furthest herdsmen. Ting Bateer insisted on delivering food and fodder to the herdsmen in such a snowy day.

Under his leadership, all Gacha herdsmen have implemented "fence rotation grazing" and "reducing sheep and increasing cattle", which not only protects the ecological environment, but also improves the lives of herdsmen.Today's Saruratuya is rich in water and grass, and it is the gacha with the best local ecological conditions. Now it has built roads, connected electricity, and used clean tap water.In recent years, he has led the herdsmen to make full use of water resources, vigorously develop and build high-yield feed bases, built the first sand protection area in the league, registered and established the Sarula Cattle Industry Company, and invested 2.3 million yuan to vigorously develop sand tourism The industry has embarked on a successful road of protecting the ecology and building livestock.

Over the years, Ting Battelle has become the backbone of the herdsmen, and everyone has become accustomed to living and producing under his guidance.As big as getting married and having children, buying machinery, or as small as a couple quarreling and disobedient children, the herdsmen have to consult him to solve the problem, and even ask him to treat adults and children when they are sick.In the hearts of herdsmen, Ting Battelle is not only the secretary of the party branch, but also an agronomist, technician, and doctor. He is also a good son of the elderly, a good brother of his peers, and a good elder of the young.

For more than 30 years, he has taken root in the grassland, cared for herdsmen, and led the majority of herdsmen in Gacha to embark on a road of protecting the ecology and building grasslands to become rich. He is known as the "son of the grassland".
