Chapter 9 〇Eight Lively Lei Feng European Union - Records of the Second National Moral Model European Union

Ou Xuelian was born in a poor farmer's family in Suqian County, Jiangsu Province. At that time, her grandfather, grandmother, and father died in poverty one after another. Two cousins ​​who were the same age as her also died of starvation on the way to escape from famine.Just as they were starving and waiting to die, the Communist Party came: two People's Liberation Army soldiers wearing red five-stars and a village cadre delivered a load of life-saving food and a cattle to them. In the winter of 1961, 19-year-old Ou Xuelian came to Datong Coal Mine with Xia Liqin, a demobilized soldier from a certain navy unit.Xia Liqin was assigned to work as a coal miner in Yongdingzhuang Mine, and Ou Xuelian was admitted to the nurse class of the First People's Hospital of Datong City.Just when she was studying hard day and night, the serious illness took hold of her.She had to pack up and go home.

In March 1963, Chairman Mao issued a call to "learn from Comrade Lei Feng", which made the European Union, which was once confused and painful, find its direction. In the early 1960s, the country was in a "very difficult period", and food such as grain, oil, meat, eggs, and vegetables were in short supply.Ou Xuelian, fertilizer is the grain of grain, with fertilizer, can't more grain be harvested?She decided to pick up manure to support agricultural production.European Union is only 21 years old.Although it was common for young women to pick up dung in the countryside at that time, it was unique in the mines.The first good thing that Ou Xuelian learned from Lei Feng was to collect dung for the agricultural cooperatives near the coal mines.In the beginning, the European Union was ashamed to show its face, but at dawn, it appeared in the streets and alleys of the mining area with a pair of dung baskets.At that time, there were many mules, horses, camels, pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs. It was not difficult to pick up dung, but it was difficult to recognize whether it was dung, because it was not yet dawn. "I'm not afraid of your jokes," Ou Xuelian said, "Sometimes you can't tell if it's feces, so you just put it under your nose and smell it." One morning, Ou Xuelian just picked up a load full of dung.

Today, 47 years later, we turned around and went back together with the European Union of Students, and what we saw was: She has been rated as Shanxi Provincial Model Worker and Provincial Super Model Worker 7 times; Outstanding Party Members and Party Model Models in Shanxi Province 7 times; Shanxi Province learned from Lei Feng twice; Shanxi Province National Civilization and Politeness Month Advanced Individual; Spiritual Civilization Model in Shanxi Province; National "March 8th" Red Banner Bearer twice; National model of women's construction; A model individual for supporting the army nationwide;

Attended the National Coal Conference 4 times, and was named National Coal Front Model Worker, Safety Production Advanced Individual; Was rated as a national advanced worker, and attended the 13th China Trade Union and the 4th National Congress of Chinese Women; In 1998, he was elected as a representative of the Ninth National People's Congress; Hundreds of miners moved Chinese figures; Torchbearer of the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; Received collective interviews with party and state leaders Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao for 8 times... One day when the Spring Festival was approaching in 2010, I walked into the home of the European Academy of Sciences.

Although I had prepared myself for it, the situation in her home surprised me a lot.It can be said that it is too poor. "The only wealth" is that the small cold room in the inner room is filled with several large bags of insoles, several large bags of tea, and of course the various honors she has received over the years-photographs, awards, etc., her two dilapidated small rooms A bungalow is just a house with bare walls.In addition, the weather is very cold, dominated by white snow, and the westerly wind blows. It is impossible to warm up the hut by relying on a small iron stove outside for heating. "The illusion of the scene in the play.Some fellow writers wrote it down like this: In the outer room, there are chests from forty years ago, picture frames from forty years ago, patched underwear hanging on the rope, and potatoes in the pot; the windows in the inner room are blocked by the residential buildings outside. , there is no ray of sunlight coming in, and there are traces of rain leakage in previous years on the wall near the roof.

Because of her old sisters who also served in the mine and several younger successors came, there was no room to sit by the fire, so everyone had to stand and talk with me as a guest.Mama Ou's wife, Uncle Xia Liqin, had to stay on the bed. The Ou Xuelian in front of me is thin, weak, and sick. Her uterus and gallbladder have all been removed, and tuberculosis, pancreatitis, liver cirrhosis, high blood pressure, and rheumatoid arthritis are also tormenting her. Because the Datong Coal Mine Civilization Office Chief Han was present, and she accompanied the European Union to Beijing to participate in the Second National Moral Model Commendation Conference. A typical 50,000 yuan.This is more or less a huge subsidy for her.But when she asked, she said, "I don't want it. I don't want a penny from the country." Let me feel sorry for her for a while.

Although I turned on the recorder afterwards, her sisters and successors were scrambling to tell me about her, about her in the past few decades, from mines to miners, from mines to society, from society to military camps, I thought , Sitting with someone like her, even if no one speaks, is better than the best interview. Now, I told her about her house.I said, this small hut like a base can no longer be lived in, and if the mine is divided into houses, she should be determined to come down.But she said: "They are all commercial houses now, even if they are allotted to me, I can't afford them!" You were momentarily at a loss for words, so you had to look at Section Chief Han who didn't know what to say.And the direction of my concern is totally different, it is that she treats her 15-square-meter Xiaohan Kiln as a treasure.She said that her biggest worry now is that the mine will demolish her hut.Her work is special. The small one-story house is directly connected to the small courtyard and the street. For example, making insoles and bedding, the table can occupy more than half of the street; for making zongzi, she only has to light a fire in the yard; Also, there must be a large area that can be taken care of. If you live in a building, all this will become complicated and difficult.

What else?Of course, before I came here, I already knew that she had given up her housing three times and her official employment quota four times. Due to her large population and housing difficulties, the mine allocated a welfare building to her in 1979.It was really a blessing to be able to live upstairs.Neighbors came to congratulate.Seeing the mother hesitated, the son said: "It's hard to get an apartment, let's move!" But she thought, yes, there are people who are more difficult than us, three generations live in one small house; don't, the population There are too many to live in.In the end, the Ou Xuelian still did the ideological work of the children and gave up the building to others.Later, the mine gave her a welfare building twice, and the European Union also gave it up to others.

As for recruitment, it's exactly the same.She had four chances to change her destiny, but she gave them up to others.One of them, she said to the mine leaders who cared about her: "I appreciate the care of the organization and leaders. After all, I am a housewife with little education, so the quota should be given to those unemployed youths. Youth is the future of our mine. " It's not surprising that she is like this, after all, she has become famous after learning from Lei Feng in these years.What I want to say is that the work of her eldest son Xia Minghai has been repeatedly delayed because of having such a special mother as her. In 1981, Ming Hai graduated from high school and was unemployed at home.Seeing a family of five living on his father's salary alone, Ming Hai was very depressed.In the second year, the relevant departments recruited workers in the mining area, and the leaders decided to give him a formal employment quota considering his situation.But at this time, a young man named Li Quanzhu approached Ou Xuelian.Li Quanzhu's father died young, his mother was bedridden for a long time, and his elder brother was disabled. The family's life was very difficult.Listening to Li Quanzhu's narration, Ou Xuelian burst into tears with sadness.The son guessed his mother's plan, and said to her: "At the beginning, you gave up your quota to others, and I had no right to interfere; this quota was given to me, so I won't let it!" Ou Xuelian said, "You are my son, and this quota is very important. It’s impossible to let it out.” What can Ming Hai do?Just cry a lot.

In the past 20 years, more and more children of miners have been unemployed, wandering around the streets all day long, and some even fooling around in society.Ou Xuelian saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. Relying on her influence in society, she contacted many parties and looked for people everywhere. She arranged for more than 180 long-term, permanent, and contract workers from military martyrs, extremely poor households, and unemployed young people.Someone calculated for her that the distance she traveled to help these children connect with work could at least cover the Long March of the Red Army.

Among her old sisters, Aunt Yang Xiuzhen, who was in her seventies, seemed particularly excited.Aunt Yang can't wait to tell you everything that Ou Xuelian has done in her life.It's very interesting that an old sister like her actually followed the tone of the younger generation, calling "Ou Mama" one after another like Section Chief Han.Mrs. Yang's Yanbei dialect is very heavy. Fortunately, you are a writer from Shanxi. Although you have a little difficulty, you can still understand it.It turns out that the aunt is here to "show her own experience" - that was already in 2005. Aunt Yang's granddaughter, Zhou Lewen, suffers from congenital heart disease. She was diagnosed at 8 months old, but has not been treated because of lack of money.By that time Xiao Lewen was 8 years old. Seeing that she was of school age, other children were bouncing to school with their schoolbags on their backs, while she was haunted by illness and dared not even leave the door. Aunt Yang came to OSU with the idea of ​​giving it a try.Ou Xuelian asked, why is the disease not treated early?Aunt Yang said that neither the child's parents are working, and they rely on odd jobs to make ends meet, and have no money to see a doctor.Aunt Yang's husband is a retired worker. He suffered from coal mines all his life, and also suffered from a whole body of diseases.In order to treat her granddaughter, Aunt Yang raised pigs and sheep, but she couldn't make enough money for the operation.Looking for someone to borrow, even relatives shy away.The European Union of Students comforted: "It doesn't matter, let's join together." He took the lead in donating money. Ou Xuelian first led Xiao Lewen to Datong Hospital for an examination, and through its own influence, contacted a hospital in Xi'an, and agreed to reduce a considerable part of the medical expenses to perform surgery for Zhou Lewen.When going to Xi'an, Ou Xuelian was infusion. She was worried that something might go wrong on the way, so she pulled out the needle and accompanied Xiao Lewen to the hospital all the way.She paid for the expenses on the way. After the operation, Xiao Lewen's health gradually improved, and he went to school with his schoolbag on his back. There are also many people who have also received assistance through the European Union of Students.The people who came to her were all seriously ill patients from poor families. Ou Xuefa tried its best to help them tide over the difficulties: retired worker Dang Chengxi, teacher Yang Peiguo, active soldier Wang Jun’s younger sister, farmer Yujiayuan and his son——Speaking of Yujiayuan father and son, Aunt Yang sighed and said: "The father and son, the father is 48 years old, and the son is only 18 years old. Both of them have heart disease. Due to lack of labor, the family is poor. Ask Mama Ou to help seek medical treatment. What can Mama Ou say? 'Treat the little one first!'” At the end of 2005, the director of the hospital who treated Zhou Lewen followed the patient from Xi'an to Datong, and went to the home of Ou Xuelian. Seeing her condition, he was moved to tears.He immediately stated that the hospital should minimize the cost of treatment and try to relieve the suffering of diseases for ordinary people from poor families. This is Ou Xuelian helping others to heal their illnesses, but she herself is seriously ill. Next, she said that she helped people breastfeed their children.This was earlier, went to 1964. There is a worker named Zhang Qing'an in the well digging area of ​​Yongdingzhuang Mine, who is a veteran.At the turn of spring and summer of that year, his wife Zhao Xiuying came to the mine from her hometown in Henan to give birth to a child, and temporarily lived in the small house next to Ou Xuelian's house.The rural areas were poor at that time, and mines were not much better.Zhang Qingan's family at that time did not even have a pair of chopsticks.From the pots and pans to the children's diapers and bedding, the European Union has prepared everything for them.When she was about to give birth, the daughter-in-law had no one to take care of her, so Ou Xuelian said to the impatient Zhang Qingan: "You can go to work at ease, I will be here." In this way, after his wife gave birth, Ou Xuelian went to take care of her every day. Zhang Qingan's daughter-in-law is weak and has no milk, and the baby is dying of hunger.Ou Xuelian looked uncomfortable, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he stopped breastfeeding his own 8-month-old child and became a nanny for the Zhang family's child.At night, when her child woke up hungry and cried, she was fed a little rice soup.In her words: "The milk must be reserved for children who need it more." Because she is also a thin woman, the milk is not abundant.Hearing his child crying, Ou Xuelian went to Zhang's house in the dark. Besides, she took care of Ge Youlu, the old eighth road. The old man Ge Youlu took up a big gun to participate in the revolution in 1937. He fought countless battles and left more than a dozen scars on his body. When Ou Xuelian met him, the old man was suffering from stage 2 silicosis and had retired to recuperate at home.The old man has no children, and his life is very difficult due to injuries and occupational diseases.After learning about Ge Youlu’s situation, the Ou Xuelian said to her husband: “I never imagined that the old comrades who fought for us in the past have such a difficult life now. I used to think that they were heroes of the revolution. With the preferential treatment policy of the country, life should be fine; now I understand It’s not enough to have these alone, we should also have the care and care of our masses.” Since then, the Ou Xuelian has taken on the burden of taking care of Ge Youlu, carrying water, buying grain, carrying charcoal, sewing and washing, taking care of food and daily life, seeing a doctor and seeing a doctor, and has served the elderly for 20 years. One year, the old man was seriously ill, with a persistent high fever and was bedridden.After Ou Xuelian found out, he helped the old man up together with his eldest son Da Mao, and prepared to change his clothes and send him to the hospital for treatment.The old man Ge Youlu waved his hand, took off the cotton vest he was wearing, handed it to Ou Xuelian and said, "Girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time. I have no children in my life. If it weren't for your family to take care of me, I would The old bones have already been retting. I have no savings in my life. I have a few hundred yuan sewn in the heart of this quilt, and I will leave it to you to supplement the family. These two houses are reserved for Da Mao to marry a wife; For a little money, you and Xia Liqin can buy a mat and bury me on the hillside, and I can still see your good family even when I'm buried in the soil." Ou Xuelian had mixed feelings, and said with tears: "We should treat you well. In case you have any troubles, I will take care of the funeral affairs, and I will not let you feel wronged. The house belongs to the public, and I will return it to the public; I will get a share of the money." Don't." The Ou Xuelian called the old sisters of the neighborhood committee, collected Ge Youlu's money in front of them, and asked two sons to send the old man to the hospital. During Ge Youlu's hospitalization, Ou Xuelian stayed in front of the bed day and night, feeding water and food, and carrying excrement and urine like a daughter.After more than a month of active treatment and careful nursing, Ge Youlu broke free from the clutches of death. The old man Ge Youlu was hospitalized eight times and lived to be 78 years old.When he was dying, he said: "Meeting such a good girl as Ou Xuelian, it was worthwhile for me to carry a gun and fight in those years." Then I will talk about the firefighting of the European Union. One day in April 1964, the bridge over the Kouquan River on the Yongdingzhuang Mine Shelf caught fire.The fire soaring into the sky was unscrupulous, and the bridge was about to be destroyed.This wooden bridge with a width of 8 meters and a length of more than 30 meters connects farmers in the south of the bridge and miners in the north of the bridge, and a large hospital serving tens of thousands of people. But right now, the bridge is surrounded by raging fire, and the strong wind blowing down the river bed is helping to make the fire more intense. Ou Xuelian saw the fire from the window, grabbed a washbasin, ran to the scene in one breath, squeezed into the crowd, jumped under the five-meter-deep bridge, and joined the ranks of firefighters. On the bed of the Kouquan River in early April, the ice had not completely melted.Seeing that the water hose of the fire truck could not pump water from the river bed, she dug it with her hands, dug it with a washbasin, and broke the ice to dig holes to store water.His head was on fire, his feet were ice, his fingers were scratched, and his hair was on fire. Three hours later, when the fire was extinguished, the firefighters noticed that there was an extra female comrade in the firefighting ranks. Let's talk about the European Union's fight against floods to save lives. At noon on June 10, 1966, heavy rain poured down, and mountain torrents broke out, rushing towards the low-lying Huangyadi family area. Ou Xuelian, who was recuperating at home, rushed out and got into the rainstorm despite the dissuasion of her husband who was making medicine for her. When she ran to the ditch, the flood had blocked her way.This ditch is more than ten meters wide, the current is turbulent, and the turbid waves are rolling.At this time, many people had gathered on the shore, and no one dared to rush over.Ou Xuelian rolled up his trousers and got into the water.Seeing this, people let go of their throats and shouted: "Students' Federation can't pass, it's dangerous, Hong Feng will come down soon!" Ou Xuelian only thought of saving lives, and several gay men who followed her went to the opposite bank arm in arm.As luck would have it, a bigger torrent roared down with logs and firewood, and a shoe she dropped on the bank disappeared instantly. The mountain torrent flooded into the family area, pushing the flood wave after wave, breaking into the courtyard and rushing into the house.Houses were washed away one by one, and items such as boxes, cabinets, pots, pans and spoons overflowed in the water and were swept away.In the violent storm, someone shouted to her: "Ou Xuelian, Uncle Li in that house over there refuses to come out even if he dies, go and try!"When she entered the house, she saw that the flood water had covered the edge of the Kang.She took a step forward, jumped onto the pit, carried Uncle Li on her back and left. Just as she was leaving the room with Uncle Li on her back, the house also collapsed. Rescuing people in the flood this time caused her to suffer from serious gynecological diseases. Ou Xuelian's family is near the single dormitory in Yongdingzhuang Coal Mine.In the early years, when she came to the mine, she discovered that most of the miners working underground were single men, either unmarried or living in the countryside.There are no women around to wash, sew, and mend for them. The bedding and clothes are so black and shiny that they are too dirty to lift; many people's clothes lack buttons and their shoes have no insoles. At that time, there were no washing machines, and even unpacking and washing of bedding was done with two hands. Ou Xuelian knelt on his knees, pressed the washboard against his stomach, and rubbed his hands vigorously.In severe winter, the dripping water turns into ice, and the scorching sun is in the face. At the end of the day, the arms are often too tired to lift up, the fingers are too stiff to hold the chopsticks, and the ten fingers are corroded by alkaline water and soapy water, causing blisters and burning pain.There are too many dirty clothes and bedding, and it takes until late at night to wash them, and sometimes they can be washed until early morning.She set a task for herself: wash at least 5 quilts every day.However, this number has been refreshed again and again. At most one day, she washed 23 quilts, 9 sheets, 11 sheets and 2 blankets.Another time, there were more than 160 pieces of bedding and work clothes unpacked and washed for three consecutive days. In the 1960s and 1970s, there was no sewer in the family area, and there was no running water in the households, so water was extremely inconvenient.Every day when the tap water comes, there is a long queue of buckets. You come and go, adults pick and children carry it. Although it is lively, it is helpless.Ordinary people are just inconvenient, but for the European Union, it is a huge obstacle.Because she uses too much water. The office building of the Yongdingzhuang Mining Union is not locked at night because the upper floors are dormitories for female workers.The European Union of Students found that there was a water room in the building with a steady stream of running water.However, it is an office place after all, so it is inconvenient to disturb during the day, fearing that it will affect other people's work, so the Ou Xuelian goes to the trade union building to do laundry at night or before dawn. One morning in early winter, with snowflakes floating in the sky, a cadre of the miners union came to the unit early to work overtime. As soon as he walked into the dark office building, he heard the rustling of laundry.Following the sound, I came to the door of the water room, and saw a pile of dirty sheets and quilts and work clothes under a faint light; Ou Xuelian half knelt on the ground with his eyes closed, the washboard against his stomach, and his hands in the biting cold water rub.A piece of glass in the water room was broken, and the north wind swept in with snowflakes.Hearing the sound, Ou Xuelian opened his eyes and saw that it was someone from the government agency. He thought it was time for work, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Ah, today's washing is slow!" The sub-wellhead of Yongdingzhuang Mine is located in the industrial square for the miners to ascend and descend. Every time when the miners go out of work, after the miners ascend from the mine shaft hundreds of meters deep, the water in their bodies evaporates due to more than ten hours of hard work. .Their hearts were on fire, their throats were smoking, and their tempers became much stronger.Seeing the miners with black faces and dry mouths, Ou Xuelian suddenly felt pity: It would be great if the miners could drink a bowl of good tea after they came out of the mine!Her idea was approved by her husband Xia Liqin.So Ou Xuelian bought scented tea and brick tea, and delivered tea to the mouth of the well every day when the miners were in three shifts, to quench the thirst of the miners. A few months have passed, and from early spring to midsummer, the weather is hot and dry, and the consumption of tea has increased greatly.Ou Xuelian's family income is not high, and they cannot afford a large amount of tea, which cannot meet the needs of the miners.At this time, an old miner told her that in the mountains around the coal mine, there was a plant called Scutellaria baicalensis, which was picked to make camellia, which was refreshing and delicious. But Scutellaria baicalensis mostly grows on the remote mountains and cliffs in the desert. In the 1960s, there were many wild wolves in the mountains around the coal mine.Fortunately, wild wolves are mostly active from midnight to dawn, and they lie in their dens during the day, so the European Union is not afraid of them.Not being afraid does not mean that the threat of wolves does not exist.First, her husband Xia Liqin went to the mountains with her to pick tea. Thinking about her husband doing heavy physical work in the well every day, and then going up the mountain with her after work, she couldn't bear it, so Ou Xuelian took the children up the mountain. Once, Ou Xuelian led his three sons to climb Qifeng Mountain to pick tea, and encountered a heavy thunderstorm.Seeing this, the girls hurried down the hill. In desperation, Ou Xuelian stepped on the ground and rolled down the hillside to the bottom of the ditch. When they woke up, the wind had stopped and the rain stopped, and the children were all crying. Scutellaria baicalensis harvested must be washed, cut into half-inch lengths, steamed and dried seven times in a basket, mixed with roses, jasmine, tangerine peel, and dried fruits for fumigation. After nine processes, camellia can be made. For more than 40 years, Ou Xuelian led a family to collect and process more than 1,250 catties of camellia for miners and army officers and soldiers.Roughly speaking, it takes more than 10 catties of fresh scutellaria baicalensis to prepare 1 catty of tea; to pick a catty of fresh scutellaria baicalensis requires walking several miles of mountain roads. For more than 40 years, the mountain roads that Ou Xuelian has traveled to pick tea are too far, too far. Yes, this is the "Students' Union Tea" that miners love to drink most. For the miners and mining areas, the European Union has too many stories.If she runs a milk agency, she is almost hit by a train.I can't write them all down here.Let future writers revive them and write them in a big book.Here, we choose the easiest method, transcribe a set of data, and see the whole leopard at a glance: In order to relieve the worries of the miners, she started from scratch and successively set up a nursery, an after-school tutoring center, a milk agency station, a parent school, and two schools. Kindergarten class; for the convenience of employees commuting to and from get off work, more than 200 meters of roads were built, one toilet was built and one toilet was repaired; 100 questions and answers on safety knowledge were often held at the wellhead, and more than 300 safety cartoons were drawn; safety allegro and counting were repeatedly played at the wellhead Treasure, cross talk recording, self-compiled and performed various small theatrical programs; signed thousands of safety contracts for husbands and wives, parents and children; embroidered more than 3,700 small safe birthday peaches; cut 15,000 filter oil paper pads for mines; More than 182,000 pairs of insoles; more than 17,800 catties of glutinous rice used to make rice dumplings for miners (including soldiers). A young miner asked Mr. Xia Liqin: "Why is Mama Ou so nice to the miners? Is it because you are always a miner?" After the old man Xia Liqin nodded, he added a special sentence: "During the Cultural Revolution, she played with us for a while." Afterwards, Xia Liqin recalled that special time.At that time, factories had no electricity, power plants had no coal, and coal mines had no coal miners.Many people went to fight, and the coal pulled out of the mine was much less, which could not meet the needs of the society. In 1968, the central government called for "grasping revolution and promoting production".In order to produce an extra ton of coal, the Ouxuelian asked to go down the mine and work with the miners to load coal with shovels at the mining face.At that time, in every production link in the mine, especially the mining line, women drilled holes and fired guns, loaded coal, sweated and even bleed the same as men.As soon as Ou Xuelian had a miscarriage, he joined the men in the underground "high-yield battle", sometimes even in three shifts. They have a daughter who is just over two years old, named Sanmao.Little Sanmao is clever and obedient, and is Xia Liqin's apple of the eye, and the lifeblood of Ou Xuelian.Just as the production tasks in the mine were tense, Sanmao suddenly fell ill, swayed and had a high fever.I thought it was measles.Ou Xuelian left the morning shift and bought medicine to feed her. Once the high fever subsided, she entrusted her daughter to a neighbor and went to the second shift.In this way, I was busy at both ends of the mine, and within three or four days, the child's condition worsened and was sent to the Mining Bureau Hospital. The doctor said: "The child is dying." The death of her daughter has dealt a heavy blow to OSU.She was seriously ill - field.It's just that when she recovered from her illness, she went down to load coal again.This year, Ouxuelian went down to the mine to load coal for a total of 178 days. In this way, everyone may understand why the people in the mine often call her "Mother Ou". Ou Xuelian, she is the daughter of the mine and the mother of the mine. This is also a major event in the life of OSU.During the interview, she said affectionately: When the foundation stone of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall was laid in 1977, I went there. I took my homemade tea and letters of condolences to visit the officers, soldiers and comrades who were working on the construction site day and night. I also sprinkled a bag of high-quality Datong coal in the foundation. .From then on, I went to Beijing every year to pay homage to Chairman Mao. In July 1990, I became ill due to overwork, and was tortured by gastroenteritis, gynecological diseases, liver diseases, cervical spine, lumbar spine, and thoracic spine diseases.People dare not look at my face because there is no trace of blood on it.I seem to have a premonition of something, afraid that one day I will really die, and some things will be left in my heart and become permanent regrets.Enduring the pain, I knelt down and made 100 pairs of insoles, and embroidered a pennant with the words "Live up to the great trust of the people and stand in a special position". I planned to give it to the officers and soldiers guarding the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Stand up for this most special post for the people. Before leaving, I hired a carpenter to make a beautiful wooden box, and bought a 3-foot red velvet packaging box with dragons painted on it. The beautiful ones were put in the box, and I went to the city twice to buy some meaningful silver flowers, and I picked the biggest and best one and put them on top. I got on the train at Datong Station in the evening and arrived in Beijing the next morning. When I arrived at Tiananmen Square, it was just in time for the national flag to be raised.At the moment when the national flag rose against the rising sun, I was so excited that I burst into tears. I came to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.I think I've come to say goodbye to the chairman.I also have a wish, which is to swear an oath in front of the chairman to show my loyalty and work twice as hard until my last breath. The memorial hall has not arrived at work time yet.I explained my purpose to the staff on duty.The person on duty was moved by my sincerity, and reported to the director first, who was also moved by me, so he called Director Xu Jing for instructions.Director Xu Jing came to the class half an hour early to receive me.She inquired carefully about my illness, family and work, and asked why I had to swear an oath in front of the chairman. I said: "When Chairman Mao was alive, I always responded to his old man's call. Now, I still want to swear an oath to him. Life goes on and on, and you do your best.” Director Xu Jing immediately approved my request: "I make an exception and allow you to swear an oath to the chairman." After that, she checked the things I brought in detail.When she asked why the dragon was painted on the box, I said: "It shows that we are all descendants of the dragon." She asked about the flowers in the box, and I said: "These flowers mean that a hundred flowers are blooming, and Chairman Mao and his old man will live forever. In our hearts, this silver flower means that Chairman Mao lived cleanly and died innocently.” Finally, coal, I said: “It means that our Datong Coal Mine produces more coal, produces good coal, and supports national construction.” Director Xu Jing asked me again What are you going to swear to Chairman Mao, what words to say, can you let her listen first.I speak my mind.She asked me if I had anything else to say, and I said just a few words.She asked if I could put these few sentences on paper.I said that my culture is low, I can't write well, there are typos and white characters.She said she was not afraid.After I finished writing, I pressed my fingerprints. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the visitors stopped.Director Xu Jing specially invited photographers, deputy directors, division chiefs, army chiefs and other memorial hall staff to accompany me to the North Hall, where we took a group photo.I walked to the sitting statue of Chairman Mao, bowed three times to Chairman Mao, and presented flowers. We came to the hall of worship.The staff opened the small door on the glass railing for me. I came to the chairman, bowed respectfully three times, and raised my fist to swear: "Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao, I will always answer your call, learn from Lei Feng, follow Lei Feng to grow up to serve the people wholeheartedly like Lei Feng, and dedicate his life to it.” When it was over, I cried with a wow.I got down on the ground and kowtowed 10 heads to the chairman and his old man. Here, it is a letter to the Party Committee of Tongmei Group, which needs to be mentioned most.The person who wrote the letter, Mr. Zhao Chuanmin, was the captain of the troops stationed at the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.Captain Zhao Chuanmin wrote in the letter: The family members of the employees of your department, the Union of European Studies, have been visiting and condolences to the guards and soldiers of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the security personnel of the Administration Bureau for many years, year after year, rain or shine.What she brings are insoles and zongzi, what she leaves behind is encouragement and strength!As the captain of the troops stationed in the church, I witnessed all this and was moved by her spirit like the staff of the Administration Bureau and all officers and soldiers! I remember one day ten years ago, when the "Mother Soldier" sent insoles and zongzi to the sentry tower of the Memorial Hall as usual, she was "caught" by me, the captain of the troops stationed in the hall. So far, the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall Only the "soldier mother" in the minds of officers and soldiers has the "master".Later, the "Mothers of Soldiers" not only came to visit everyone every year, gave reports to the officers and soldiers, and told about their own way to support the army, but also made phone calls to encourage them, especially every "August 1" Army Day, there must be "Mothers of Soldiers" Condolences and blessings! The current "soldier mother" is old, sick and has gradually become unable to do what she wants, but she still does her best and continues to be her military supporter. In March 2006, at a symposium with the Security Department, the "Mother of the Soldier" spoke so affectionately that everyone couldn't help crying. Everyone advised the aunt to take care of her health. In the future, you can make less or no insoles and rice dumplings. Just visit After a while, everyone will feel warm, and the aunt said without thinking: "As long as I can walk, I will do what I can for the soldiers. If I can't, there will be my children and grandchildren!" It has been her wish for many years to condolences to the officers, soldiers and guards of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.The time can be traced back to the construction of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall in 1977. At that time, the European Union of Students came to condolences and participated in the foundation laying work three times. In the era of rapid social development, some people may say that these practices are outdated.Today, when the central government has repeatedly advocated the construction of a "harmonious society", Da Ma's actions are precisely the bright spots of the "harmonious society". May this spirit be amplified to many areas of society to influence and inspire more people! At the end of this letter, there is a passage written by Director Xu Jing, dated April 8, 2008: What Captain Zhao said is true.During my tenure as the director of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall Administration Bureau, I received comrades from the European Union of Students more than once. Her seemingly fragile shoulders carried a large box of insoles and rice dumplings every time. She always returned day and night without eating. don't drink.There is only one sentence left: "I hope that the soldiers will stand up for Chairman Mao and set up a good post." When I was a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, I took the opportunity of a business trip to Datong to visit the home of the Student Federation. The house is simple and the family is poor.The only thing that is rich is the raw materials for making insoles for the soldiers. Pieces of coarse cloth are piled up from the ground to the ceiling.At that time, I persuaded the Federation of Students: "Students' Federation, you have lived such a hard life, stop here." She replied, "Sister, this is my heart!" What a comrade worth learning from! The Origin of "Soldier Mother" In the summer of 1989, the European Union of Students was invited to give a report to officers and soldiers in a certain unit stationed in Tongtong.Ou Xuelian didn't know what to talk about, so she talked about her doing good deeds for the miners for decades, and alleviating worries for the officers and soldiers of the garrison and the families of the martyrs. The new soldier Wang Bin sitting in front couldn't help but shed tears. After the report was over, the little soldier said: "I am an orphan. My parents passed away when I was two years old. I don't even call my mother in my memory. Mama Ou, seeing you today is like seeing me. mother." European Union's eyes were red.She said: "Son, don't cry. From now on, I will be your mother and you will be my son. If you have anything on your mind, just tell your mother!" With tears streaming down his face, Xiao Wang Bin held the hand of OSU and called out "Mom" for the first time in his life. This incident deeply touched the European Union.She couldn't eat or sleep well for several days.Ou Xuelian, with so many Datong troops, there must be orphan soldiers like Wang Bin.They lost their mothers since they were young, and they were far away from their relatives, and they felt uncomfortable.I am a middle-aged woman, and I have done my part to give the children some comfort and let them get family affection in their second hometown.In this way, the European Union of Schools adopted 9 orphan fighters from the land, sea, air and armed police forces stationed in Datong.She relieved these orphans from mourning the loss of their mother's love. Since then, Ou Xuelian has often visited these "soldier sons" of hers.Zhu Fengguo, an orphan soldier from Shandong, said emotionally: "My mother just passed away in June this year, and half of my heart seemed to be cut off. After Ou's mother recognized me as a son, I felt that the lost family relationship was found again." Zhu Guobao, an orphan soldier, would run to Ou Xuelian’s house on Sundays, calling “Mom” when he entered the door. Ou Xuelian made him his favorite spicy noodles, listened to him talk about what happened in the company, and advised him to get rid of his stubborn temper and not to fight with him. The soldiers were in conflict.有个叫陈细江的“兵儿子”打算考军校，欧学联非常高兴，让她当中学教师的二儿媳找来各种复习资料。小陈身体瘦弱，欧学联把部队首长和地方同志送给她的营养品转送给他。这个小战士很努力，终于考上了。临走的时候，欧学联和三儿子亲自送他到火车上。火车开动了，陈细江泪如泉涌地喊道：“妈妈多保重，毕业我就回来看望您老人家。”欧学联匆匆把准备好的两百元钱硬塞进车窗里。她心里明白，小陈这一走不知啥时候才能见面。 小陈到了学校，经常给欧学联来信。从一口摞满信件的木箱子里，欧学联找出一封信来，有一段朴实无华的话：“我作为您的儿子，深深地理解妈妈的心。您好像大同煤一样，无私地把光和热洒向社会，洒向军营。您期望国家安定强盛的良苦用心，我哪有不理解的呢？我一定要做一名对部队建设有所贡献的军人，报答妈妈的深情厚意。” 小陈说出了欧学联的心里话。 连着几年中秋节，欧学联都要把“兵儿子”一个个请回家。她家生活拮据，平时连肉都很少买，到这—天却能做上20多个菜，还会有汾酒。欧学联让这些“兵儿子”在最想亲人的时候围在她的身边，度过愉快而难忘的节日。 欧学联为“兵儿子”操心，儿子们也为她争气。在欧学联的关怀下，孤儿战士们多有长进。现在他们中亦有四五人荣立三等功，七八人入了党，其他人也受过嘉奖。 欧学联认“兵儿子”的事迹在社会上广泛传开之后，山西、内蒙古、甘肃等地驻军的孤儿战士纷纷来信，要认她这个“兵妈妈”。在采访中，她无不自豪地对我讲：“我有70多个'兵儿子'。”这可了不得啊。 现在，拿在我手中的，正是这些“兵儿子”写给“兵妈妈”的信，有几十封之多。而最令我感动的，是他们当中还有小诗人小作家，因他们的“兵妈妈”文学梦更为浓郁，信中有诗，信中有散文，读来让你倍感亲切。就在大同当兵的“兵儿子”高怀亮在散文《妈妈，我想对您说……》中写道：“您虽不是我的亲妈妈，但您与我的亲妈妈一样。”怀亮在行文之始，还写了这样一个题头：在母亲节即将来临之际，谨以此文献给全国拥军模范、第九届全国人大代表欧学联妈妈和普天下所有的母亲们——落款是“您的兵儿子高怀亮”。此长文之外，怀亮还和战友宋立成共同创作了《战士的心声》一诗，诗虽稚嫩，但满腔的赤诚，写出了战士对妈妈、战士对人民、战士对祖国的一往情深： 这些信的第二大亮点，是多有中国人民解放军驻港部队的来信（来函），有战士们单独写来的感谢信，也有以“全体官兵”名义写来的感谢信，战士的多用手写，集体的则打印成文件形式并盖了章。插一句话，这里凸显拥军的特殊意义。 这里，我顺手抄些落款：中国人民解放军驻港部队航空兵团，中国人民解放军驻港部队舰艇大队，中国人民解放军驻港部队“大渡河连队”全体官兵，中国人民解放军驻港部队政治部，中国人民解放军驻港部队深圳基地汽车连全体官兵…… 政治部的来信，其中有这样的话： 您带着对人民子弟兵的殷切嘱托，带着山西老区人民的深情厚意，带着祖国人民对驻香港部队的深切关怀，寄给我们的500双鞋垫和充满关爱真情的信已收到。在此，我们代表驻香港部队的全体官兵对您表示衷心的感谢和诚挚的敬意！ 我们驻香港部队司令员王继堂和政治委员张汝成两位首长亲阅了您的来信，他们对您心系驻军官兵的崇高情怀给予了高度赞扬，并作出批示：“欧大娘的来信和鞋垫饱含着全国人民尤其是老区人民对驻军官兵的深情厚意和极大希望。各单位要深入进行拥军爱民教育，把人民群众的关爱转化为做好工作的动力，认真履行好驻军防务。” 双双鞋垫暖人心，浓浓情谊溢军营！驻军官兵读完您的来信和收到您的鞋垫后激动不已。大家纷纷表示，要把您的爱心和深情转化为干好工作的强大精神动力，不辜负您的嘱托，“练好武艺，守卫好香港”。 舰艇大队的战士何新恒则在来信中写道： 欧大娘，您在信中提到您很想到香港亲自来看看我们，可由于办理入境手续等问题，暂时未能如愿。说句心里话，我也很想看一看您这位一直未能谋面却时时刻刻关心着我们的大娘，也很想让您来看看高高飘扬在香港上空的五星红旗和紫荆花旗，看看繁荣的香港，看看美丽的香江，看看我们威武的战舰，看看我们这些可爱的水兵。 昨晚（2010-3-29）与欧学联通话，她说她今晚大同乘车，明天一早到北京。这次，她不带鞋垫，而带3000个粽子，分别去毛主席纪念堂、天安门广场国旗班、京西宾馆警卫班等进行瞻仰、慰问、走访。我和她说，这3000个粽子差不多就是1000斤重，希望有人帮她，别太累了。
