Chapter 30 29. A Good Man by the Bank of the Yalu River, Old Zheng——Record of Zheng Rendong, the Second National Moral Model

As the largest border city in China and the starting point of the easternmost end of the Great Wall, Dandong has long been famous at home and abroad.What people are most familiar with about Dandong is the Yalu River, which is the border river between China and North Korea. In the 1950s, the soldiers of the Chinese People’s Volunteers crossed the Yalu River “with arrogance and high spirits” and fought a war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, forcing the American generals to sign a peace negotiation agreement for the first time in an unwinnable war, making the Yalu River even more fascinating to the world. attention.Especially the bridge across the Yalu River that connects Dandong and North Korea’s Sinuiju. The bridge on the Sinuiju side was bombed by the U.S. Army, and now only the steel and iron bones on the Dandong side are left. Broken Bridge".This "broken bridge" has been integrated into the memory of history, telling the crimes of imperialist aggression, and has become a famous landscape for leisure tourism in Dandong City in peaceful times.

One year ago, in early spring and March, just near the scenic spot "Broken Bridge" in Dandong, an impressive figure appeared. The Dandong people affectionately called him "the good old Zheng". , once again entered the field of vision of people who pay attention to this border city. People said, Lao Zheng is a good man!He is just like a business card of Dandong, a beautiful border city, showing to the world that Dandong has good mountains, good water, and better people! Who is Lao Zheng?What is his charm that made the media network set off a wave of heat because of his appearance?

It was an ordinary morning in early spring, and Lao Zheng appeared on a section of road north of the Broken Bridge by the Yalu River as usual.As usual, he carried a broom, shovel and pick.The weather in early spring turned warm and cold, and he was still wearing winter clothes, with the yellow waistcoat over his jacket that people would guess his occupation at first sight—he was the cleaning staff of the Environmental Sanitation Management Office of the Jiangcheng Revitalization District, and he divided the cleaning work. The best location is Binjiang Middle Road north of Broken Bridge.He is on duty here from dawn to dusk every day.

In recent years, millions of Chinese and foreign tourists flock to Dandong every year, and they all want to go to the Broken Bridge and Jinjiangshan Park and Jiangbin Park by the river to take a walk and have a look.CCTV recorded and broadcast the "Heart to Heart" art troupe Yan Weiwen and others to Dandong to perform condolences, and it was held in Jiangbin Cultural Square.It can be said that the environment and sanitation of Binjiang Road directly affect people's perception and impression of Dandong.As the cleaner of Binjiang Middle Road, Lao Zheng is well aware of this, so from the day he was the cleaner of this section of the road, he has made keeping this section of the road clean and hygienic as the most important thing.No matter in the scorching hot dog days or in the icy and snowy winter days, he always showed up on this section of the road early, cleaned and cleaned section by section, and patrolled to clean up road rubbish again and again.Residents living near Binjiang Middle Road are familiar with his stocky figure, honest and kind face, and they all know that as long as he is on duty, the road is always clean and pleasant, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye.No one could tell his full name Zheng Rendong, but they all blurted out to call him "Old Zheng".

This day was March 18, 2009. After sweeping a section of the road in the bright morning light, Mr. Zheng was carrying a bucket to dump the rubbish into the trash bin near Dandong No. 13 Middle School. At this moment, he found the trash bin Someone threw into two paper bags containing shoes, one paper bag contained garbage, and the other bag contained a bulging plastic bag. "Who is so careless, throwing trash and throwing things away?" Thinking of this, Lao Zheng picked up the paper bag, hey, it was still heavy, and it didn't look like leather shoes inside.When he opened the paper bag to look, he suddenly became surprised, money!There are 4 bundles of 50 yuan bills in bundles.

Who can be rich enough to throw a whole bundle of money out?Lao Zheng couldn't believe it was true.But when he looked carefully, the RMB wrapped in plastic and sealed, each sealed with the bank's red seal, was clearly real money.Counting more carefully, each bundle is 50,000 yuan, and 4 bundles are a total of 200,000 yuan! 57-year-old Zheng Rendong has never seen so much money. Five years ago, when he was laid off from the factory, the buyout pay he received was less than 30,000 yuan.Now he lives in poverty with his wife and son in a small house of just over 30 square meters.If you have this 200,000 yuan, you can buy a house for your son and get married.

But Lao Zheng didn't think much about it at all.He thought of another person: "the owner". "Withdrawing so much money from the bank at once must be urgent!" Lao Zheng guessed, "Is it the deposit that is urgently needed for an operation in the hospital? Or is it urgent to pay for a house?..." Thinking that the owner must be anxious at the moment, Lao Zheng Looking at the flow of people on Binjiang Road during rush hour, Zheng felt that the packing bag in his hand was not only worth 200,000 yuan, but also a heavy responsibility. "We must return the money to the owner as soon as possible."

So, Lao Zheng walked quickly into the mail room of the adjacent Second Vocational College, and eagerly dialed 110 to call the police. The Dandong Frontier Defense Detachment of the Armed Police drove to the scene as soon as they passed the street police station. They saw Lao Zheng waiting anxiously by the side of the road with a handbag, so they quickly asked about the situation and checked the trash can where Lao Zheng picked up the money. Please ask Lao Zheng Back to the police station together. After receiving the report, the reporter of Dandong Yalu River Evening News also rushed to the Yijing Street Border Police Station as soon as possible.At that time, Lao Zheng was introducing the situation at the scene when he picked up the money to the police.

Seeing the reporter come to interview, the police present all praised the honest and shy old Zheng as a kind person who lived like Lei Feng; he was not tempted when faced with 200,000 yuan in cash.Hearing everyone's praise, Lao Zheng's sun-tanned face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "This is what I should do." "Is your family rich? How much is your monthly income?" the reporter asked. "I earn 600 yuan a month, and my wife has retired. The family is very difficult. Otherwise, can I sweep the streets?" "Is your child in good condition?"

"The child works in a paper mill in Dandong. He is 29 years old and still unmarried, so he has no money to buy a house." "You picked up the 200,000 yuan in the trash, which is equivalent to discarded garbage. When you picked it up, no one saw it, but you took the initiative to hand it over to the police. Don't you regret it now?" "I regret that I will not call the police. Now I want to find the owner of the money as soon as possible." Lao Zheng said frankly. After listening to the conversation between the reporter and Lao Zheng, all the people present were moved. Today, when some people are fanatical in pursuit of material desires, the cleaner Lao Zheng's behavior of picking up money really touched everyone's hearts.

After picking up 200,000 yuan, Lao Zheng didn't tell anyone when he returned to his post. He cleaned Jiangbin Middle Road seriously as usual, and rushed to this section of the road early in the morning to clean the streets as usual. On the morning of March 20th, Lao Zheng was cleaning a section of the road when suddenly a car stopped near him. The people in the car opened the window to look at him, and said to the people in the car with affirmative tone: "Today's newspaper published It's him, it must be him." After a while, a middle-aged woman on a bicycle also stopped beside Lao Zheng, jumped off the bike and shouted to passers-by: "It's him, I see him in the photo!" Seeing Lao Zheng a little surprised, she turned to him again. Said: "You picked up 200,000 yuan and returned it to the owner? The newspapers have published it!" This is real.Zheng Rendong became a news figure that the provincial and municipal media paid attention to this day.Dandong City's "Yalu River Evening News" published a headline on the front page: "200,000 yuan found in trash can", with the subtitle "A cleaning worker with a monthly salary of 600 yuan will not pay the police if he picks up money." Li Junhan, a reporter from the Evening News who rushed to the police station on May 18 for the first time, reported in detail how Zheng Rendong picked up the money and handed it over to the police. Workers earn 600 yuan a month, pick up 200,000 and report to the police"... After Zheng Rendong called the police, the police from the street border police station felt strange that a huge sum of 200,000 yuan suddenly appeared in the trash can.It may be that the owner accidentally threw it away as garbage, and it cannot be ruled out that it is related to kidnapping, drug trafficking or extortion cases, so he reported it to his superiors.Soon, the criminal police rushed to the police station and took away the packaging bag of 200,000 yuan in cash for technical analysis.They also retrieved the surveillance video near Binjiang Road and No. 13 Middle School to determine the nature of the case.At the same time, the police station also sent a number of policemen to squat around the trash can where the huge sum of money was found, to visit and investigate, to find the owner... After intensive investigation, the owner of the 200,000 yuan in cash was found on March 19. It turned out that on the morning of March 18, a boss who lived near the No. 13 Middle School in Dandong City went downstairs with the huge sum of money withdrawn the day before, and his driver helped him carry the garbage at home.In the car, the trash bag was placed with the money bag.When the car passed the garbage bin, the driver got out of the car to throw out the garbage, and asked the boss if the handbag he was holding was garbage. The boss was busy on the phone, so he nodded casually.So, the driver threw the bag containing 200,000 yuan in cash into the trash can together with the garbage. After discovering that a huge sum of 200,000 yuan was missing, the boss and the driver hurried back to the trash can to look for it, only to find that the packaging bag containing the money was gone.They rushed to the Tongxing Garbage Disposal Station, where the garbage was disposed of, to look for it, but they were nowhere to be found.After several twists and turns, they got in touch with the Jingjie Border Police Station, which was looking for the owner. At the police station, I received a huge sum of 200,000 yuan, which was lost and recovered. I learned from the police that it was a cleaner who picked up the money, and the boss thanked him again and again.And took 2,000 yuan from the cash and handed it over to the police, and asked the police to hand it over to the kind cleaners as condolences. On the morning of March 24, the police invited Lao Zheng to the police station on the border of the street, and handed him the 2,000 yuan condolence money that the owner requested to transfer on his behalf. Lao Zheng took the money, thought about it, and then returned the money to the police. "You can accept this money. This is the condolence money that the owner sincerely thanked you for sending." The policeman said. "This money does not belong to me, and I feel uneasy when I spend it." Lao Zheng said sincerely, "Now I can still earn money by myself. Please donate the two thousand yuan from the owner to the Hope Project on my behalf!" But the police did not collect Lao Zheng's donation, but handed over the money to him again, and asked him to think it over before making a decision. Old Zheng has made up his mind.When he got home, he told his wife, Chen Jinlin, who had retired from a textile factory, his wife also supported him. They all felt that doing good deeds was not for repayment, but only to be worthy of their own conscience. Although Lao Zheng's family is poor, it is a harmonious family. After more than 30 years of marriage, the couple respected and loved each other and supported each other to overcome many hardships.When Lao Zheng worked as a fitter in the 518 Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory, his wife worked in four shifts and three in the textile factory, and he was far away from home, so he took on all the housework.Lao Zheng, who was sick from overwork, suffered from high blood pressure, which often rose to 200mmHg, dizzy and difficult to continue to work normally, so his wife took care of him meticulously.Five years ago, Lao Zheng returned home from the factory due to illness. He had to pay more than 4,000 yuan in pension insurance every year. His son’s wages from working in the factory had to be saved for his marriage. The family mainly relied on the 900 yuan from his wife Chen Jinlin. I have managed my pension, and I am used to living frugally.Lao Zheng has high blood pressure and only takes a bottle of antihypertensive medicine for a few yuan a day.Cleaning in the riverside in summer, the scorching heat makes me reluctant to buy ice cream; my wife goes to the vegetable market several times a day just to buy some cheap food... But for their children to learn, they are willing to pay.The son failed to go to college but liked to study, and wanted to buy a computer. The couple together borrowed money to buy an assembled computer for the son.For this reason, they paid off their debts for three consecutive years... Lao Zheng inquired, and donating 2,000 yuan to the Hope Project can guarantee the schooling of 10 primary school students from poor families for one year.The condolence money I got is donated to the Hope Project, it is worth it! Lao Zheng asked his colleagues, but no one knew where the Hope Engineering Office was.He asked his son to look it up online, and finally found it.With the address, this honest man who has never asked for leave for business in decades made an exception and asked the monitor for an hour's leave, and made a special trip to the Hope Project Office of the Youth League Committee to donate. The staff of the Youth League Committee and Youth Department who received Lao Zheng saw that he was dressed like a living, but they had to donate 2,000 yuan, and politely persuaded him, saying: "Donate to the Hope Project according to your ability. many……" "I have discussed with my family, donate two thousand!" Lao Zheng insisted on donating all.The staff of the Youth League Committee were moved by this simple old comrade's enthusiasm for the Hope Project, so they stopped persuading him and issued him a donation receipt, sincerely thanking him for his care and support for poor students. Walking out of the Youth League Committee, Old Zheng's black and red face flashed with a happy smile... Lao Zheng donated to the Hope Project by himself, and he kept his colleagues secret when he returned to his post. However, Li Junhan, a reporter from the "Yalu River Evening News" who was tracked down and interviewed him, "picked out" his donation process and quickly published it on the newspaper disclosure. It is just a wave of ups and downs, and another wave. On March 20, after the provincial and municipal media reported Zheng Rendong's deeds of picking up money, it soon became a hot topic in the streets and alleys of Dandong City. People expressed their sincere admiration for Lao Zheng's noble behavior, and many citizens felt inferior.Some people said: "Old Zheng is a good man, and I can see the spirit of Dandong city in him." Some people said frankly: "Ask yourself, if I pick up the 200,000 yuan, I may not be like Lao Zheng." Netizen "Nanhai" posted: "I believe in one sentence most. There are still many good people in the world. The first thing people think of is to call the police. Maybe someone else will have to go through some ideological struggle. Whether to call the police or keep it for yourself. It's really admirable that the cleaners can do this..." Mr. Li, a citizen, said to the reporter: "Pragmatic, seeking beauty, self-improvement, and surpassing, Zheng Rendong's behavior of picking up money has become a model of practicing the spirit of Dandong city. He seeks beauty because he has a beautiful heart, but for the 200,000 yuan in cash in the trash can , handed over to the police without anyone knowing, the beauty is real; he is self-improvement, although Lao Zheng is a street cleaner, but he is not moved by the windfall, and relies on his hard work to earn money and inspire people .” Netizen "Yue Ning's mother" said: "You are really a good person. If I find it, I have to think carefully about how to deal with it." Netizen "Yuanquan" said: "Say a few words to the owner, so that kind-hearted people will be rewarded." The netizen "Track Network" is the driver on duty of Liao F90980. After reading about Lao Zheng's deeds in the newspaper, he went to the newspaper office and handed a hundred-yuan cash to the reporter, please pass it on to Lao Zheng. He said, "I just want to Good people get good rewards, although I am also a salaryman, this little money can represent my heart." At around 8:00 p.m. on March 24, a taxi driver called a reporter from the Yalu River Evening News to report that a black car with the license plate Liao BL2913 hit a cyclist and fled near Jindi Plaza.He immediately drove to chase the vehicle that caused the accident and will cooperate with the police to collect evidence.The driver told the reporter: "In the past, I would have chosen to do more than to do less. Zheng Rendong's deeds have infected me...I also want to be a good person like Lao Zheng." Zheng Rendong, an ordinary sanitation worker, aroused strong repercussions from the citizens of Dandong because of his kind deeds that ordinary people could hardly do. People affectionately called him "the good old Zheng".In Lao Zheng, people saw the shining points of human nature.As the leader of the city, Xue Heng, secretary of the Dandong Municipal Party Committee, saw the significance of his model from Lao Zheng's deeds. He wrote in his instructions: "Old Zheng's deeds are very touching and should be widely publicized; it represents our beautiful city. Beautiful Dandong people, beautiful hearts!" "Picking up gold without ignorance" is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, which has been subtly passed down among the people, and has been passed down from generation to generation to carry forward a simple, harmonious and honest social custom. "Picking up gold is not ignorant" originated from "Later Han Shu Le Yangzi's Wife": "The sheep tasted the journey, and got a piece of gold, and returned it to his wife. The wife said: 'The concubine heard that the nobles do not drink the water from the stolen spring, and the honest ones do not get the food from the cheap , What’s more, picking up relics and seeking profit to pollute his actions!’ Yangzi is ashamed, but donates money to the wild, and seeks teachers from afar.” In Qing Dynasty Wu Chichang’s "Ke Chuang Gossip·Yi Beggar" has become an idiom "It's the chief of Huli, who built a house in the market for him, bought goods and established a business, and said on his forehead: 'I don't know how to pick up gold'." For thousands of years, "I don't know how to pick up money" has become the moral conscience of ordinary people.Now Zheng Rendong's body shines with new brilliance, infiltrating the hearts of Dandong citizens and making people feel the power of morality.Under the constant impact of the social phenomenon of impetuous people and eager for quick success, no one wants morality to drift away. It is the city's hope that some people can stick to the true nature of morality.Therefore, when grassroots morality shows strength and people find a kind of simple and honest character, they especially cherish and value its demonstration significance. The "Yalu River Evening News" seized this opportunity and promptly held a symposium attended by writers, professors, cultural scholars and other people to discuss the practical significance of Lao Zheng's philanthropy. Since March 31, "Dandong Daily" has continuously published five articles, including "After being moved...", "Gentlemen strive for self-improvement", and "Let the Light of Morality Carry Forward" to learn from Zheng Rendong's comments on promoting the city spirit.The comment said: "After picking up 200,000 yuan, in the heart of Zheng Rendong who needs money, there is only one simple belief: it is not his own money that cannot be taken, and happiness must be fought for with his own hands." "His noble move is for Dan Dong. 'Practical, beauty-seeking, self-improvement, and transcendence' is the best interpretation of the city's spirit." For this reason, commentators hope that there will be more good people and Dandong people with "beautiful hearts" like Zheng Rendong, so that the beautiful border city can also have The external beauty and internal beauty have become the most beautiful city in the hearts of people at home and abroad. "The east wind is good for the yang and the messenger, and the flowers and the spring will be reported." Dandong people with a beautiful heart like Lao Zheng will urge more and the most beautiful flowers of civilization to bloom along the Yalu River. After Zheng Rendong's deeds were disclosed by the media, many citizens went to visit Lao Zheng's cleaning work section on Binjiang Middle Road by the Yalu River and communicate with him. "If you pick up money that doesn't belong to you, you can't put it in your own pocket no matter how much it is. You must find ways to return it to the owner. This is a basic principle of life, and it is something everyone should do. Think about it, lose it. What will happen to the family with so much money? Can they live comfortably? And if we want to keep this money against our conscience, we will also have no peace in our lives. I think being a good person is more important than anything else." Lao Zheng didn't know how much he said. all over. Lao Zheng also thinks so when he said this, so he cleans the working section every day, and his hands and feet are more diligent. People who often pass by this section say that this Binjiang Middle Road is cleaner and more refreshing than before. Sun Xiaocui, head of the Jiangbin Road Cleaning Team of the Environmental Sanitation Management Office of Zhenxing District, knows the work of Lao Zheng as a cleaner in the past few years. She said: "Old Zheng works hard, is serious, and works hard. There are many cars and people on the Scenic Road, and there are more people who come to Dandong for sightseeing. He has to go back and forth on this road more than ten times a day, and he has to walk more than ten kilometers. However, no matter in summer when there are many tourists, It’s still freezing and snowy winter, this section of road is always clean, and no points have been deducted in the environmental sanitation management assessment.” When working, Lao Zheng always sweeps up the rubbish thrown by pedestrians in a timely manner, and he will pick up useful small objects and put them on the border of the dustbin, such as keys lost by someone accidentally, and things dropped from bicycles. Small parts, etc.When the owner comes to look for it, Lao Zheng will return it to the owner. During the holidays, there are too many firecrackers and rubbish to be cleaned. Lao Zheng is not on duty. As long as the leader calls and asks him to arrive, he always arrives in time without complaint. Come home clean. On the first day of the new year in 2009, he spent cleaning firecrackers and rubbish on the lakeside road.The leaders and colleagues of the Environmental Sanitation Department said, "Leave the work to Lao Zheng and we can rest assured." In addition to completing his job, Zheng Rendong also worked as a "three-person" job, not only as a cleaner, but also as a propagandist and tour guide.While cleaning on the lakeside road, tourists often ask Lao Zheng for directions and scenic spots. As a native of Dandong, he sees so many tourists from home and abroad who are very interested in the mountains and rivers of Dandong. Although he is not eloquent, he always It is to happily guide the inquirer and introduce the scenic spot.Whenever the apple-like faces of the children who came from afar smiled and waved to him and said "Thank you uncle", he was satisfied. In recent years, with the rapid development of urban construction and the warming up of the tourism industry, the requirements for the quality of urban environmental sanitation are also getting higher and higher, and the difficulty of sanitation work is also becoming more and more difficult.Once, when Lao Zheng was cleaning, he disturbed the car parked on the side of the road for a few seconds.Lao Zheng felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but he did not call the police, nor did he report to the leader.He thinks it’s okay, I can’t be like him, he’s not enlightened, I can’t be without it; he’s ignorant, I can’t be ignorant; he looks down on sanitation work, but I love my job.Lao Zheng endured the humiliation, because he felt that to be a sanitation worker, he had to "exchange the suffering of one person for the laughter of thousands of people". Afterwards, colleagues all praised Lao Zheng for knowing the overall situation and taking care of the general situation.Everyone said: "Old Zheng worked in a state-owned enterprise, and he always thinks about the overall situation when he encounters problems." Zheng Rendong was originally a fitter at the famous state-owned 518 Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory in Dandong City.He has worked in this enterprise for more than 30 years from 1974 when he returned to the city from an educated youth point and joined the factory to when he was laid off due to illness during the enterprise reform.This factory developed my country's first tractor "Yalu River No. 1" in 1957; after the 1980s, it became a key manufacturer of internal combustion engine parts.For large enterprises, production is an assembly line operation, and each process is "one radish and one pit", so there is no shortage of people.After entering the factory, Zheng Rendong was not only diligent in researching technology, but soon became the backbone of production, and also developed the habit of observing rules and regulations. He never came in late or left early or asked for leave. After the story of Zheng Rendong's "recovery of money" was reported by the media, the old colleagues who had worked with him at the 518 Factory said: "He is honest and honest, and he pays attention to his conscience in everything he does. He is a well-known good person in the workshop. He can It’s not surprising that I handed over the 200,000 yuan I picked up.” Li Baohe, who has been Zheng Rendong's class monitor for more than 10 years, said: "It is not surprising that Lao Zheng picked up money and handed it in, but it is surprising. Because Lao Zheng is too short of money, when he was a maintenance worker in our class, he was famous for spending money carefully. , Life at home was difficult. At that time, we saved 1,000 yuan to deposit in the bank, and he saved 200 to 300 yuan to deposit in the bank. Employees save small savings, 20 yuan a month, and only Lao Zheng can calculate the interest. money." Feng Defang, chairman of the workshop union, said: "Old Zheng is very popular. We elected him as the team leader of the maintenance team union, and everyone can rest assured that the class fee is in his hands." Li Baohe said: "It's more reassuring to entrust him with the work. He has strength. Two people need to lift the machine tool parts, and he can lift them by himself. He never slacks and slips. It is common for the workshop to work overtime and rush to repair production equipment. Working until nine or ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Zheng always works to the end." Gao Feng, a worker of Zheng Rendong, said: "At that time, Lao Zheng's daughter-in-law worked the night shift at Wulongbei Textile Factory. Lao Zheng would rather entrust his very young child to a relative's house, and rush to work in the workshop without complaint." Feng Defang, chairman of the trade union, said: "Old Zheng is not only trustworthy, but also enthusiastic. Zhao Zhitian, who was injured at work in the workshop, stayed at home all year round. As the leader of the labor union, Lao Zheng often took care of him. That's ten years..." Lao Zheng is still a technical expert and often makes small changes. The crankshaft frame he designed and welded is still in use. As a maintenance fitter, the workshop has purchased advanced machine tools. He is always the first to master the maintenance technology and imparts it to others selflessly. Others, the three apprentices he led are now technical backbones... Overworked.When Zheng Rendong worked in the factory for 30 years, he suffered from heart disease and high blood pressure that frequently exceeded 200mmHg, which made him, a strong man in the past, often dizzy and had to take sick leave at home... Now, when he became a hot topic in the news, he To arouse people's good memories, everyone said: "Old Zheng is a good man, he will do a good job anywhere." On the night of March 18, Zheng Rendong slept soundly and soundly after picking up 200,000 yuan in cash and handing it over to the police.But one night later, Lao Zheng was tossing and turning on the bed covered with moonlight, unable to fall asleep. He suffered from insomnia. On the afternoon of April 17th, Li Shumin, deputy secretary of the Dandong Municipal Party Committee, visited Zheng Rendong’s home to express condolences. When Li Shumin, on behalf of the Dandong Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, handed over a set of keys to Lao Zheng’s new house, the unprepared Lao Zheng’s family was surprised and delighted . Li Shumin held Lao Zheng's hand and said: "Your deeds of picking up money have aroused widespread repercussions in Dandong. You are not tempted when faced with huge sums of money. This spirit is worth learning from the city's cadres and masses. With the development of news reports, your deeds Encouraged, Dandong set off a small wave of good people and good deeds. Your behavior of collecting money is a vivid example of socialist moral construction, which is conducive to the improvement of the quality of citizens. The municipal party committee and the municipal government decided to reward you with housing to solve your actual situation. Difficulties, let good people be rewarded, carry forward this spirit, create a city card of Dandong through the power of role models, and build a beautiful city through the power of role models." Lao Zheng, who was not good at words, was excited in his patience. He held Li Shumin's hand tightly and said, "Thanks to the party and the government for their encouragement. I will definitely continue to do good deeds and be a good person!" Li Shumin brought Lao Zheng and his wife to the new house together. The low-rent house located in Room 507, Unit 2, Building 11, Silk Er New District is spacious and bright, which made Lao Zheng smile from ear to ear, and his wife even burst into tears. She said: "If we don't pay 200,000 cash, although it is enough to buy a house for our son to marry, it will be difficult to live in peace. I didn't expect the municipal party committee and government to reward us with a house. I really appreciate the party and the government from the bottom of my heart!" The news that the Dandong Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government rewarded Lao Zheng with a set of low-rent housing quickly spread in Dandong, causing another wave of heated discussions.People say that it is everyone's wish for Lao Zheng to live in a new house.Old Zheng, one person moved a city.Today, Lao Zheng, who has moved the city, has a new house, which is given by the government. This is an encouragement and a compliment, and it also demonstrates the party and the government's proposition, and has reached the public opinion-good people are rewarded!The house has a price, but the spirit is priceless.Rewarding a house is rewarding a kind of spirit, which gives "good old Zheng" a specific symbolic meaning.For this reason, when the citizens were discussing this move, they blessed the good people and applauded the public servants of the municipal party committee and the municipal government for doing practical things for the common people. The news of the good man Lao Zheng’s award-winning new house also shocked the national media. In just one day, more than 40 media such as "Liaoshen Evening News", "Hua Shang Morning News", "Beijing Youth Daily", "Wuhan Evening News" and Sina, Sohu, Netease, Tencent, etc. and well-known websites have reprinted and reported the news, triggering heated discussions across the country. After Tencent reposted the news, there were more than 1,500 comments from netizens within 24 hours. "This award! The number of people who do good deeds is decreasing. Rewarding good people and doing good deeds is the best way to establish righteousness!" A netizen commented flatly. Guangdong netizens commented: "Northeast people are living Lei Feng!" Netizen from Chuzhou, Anhui: "I want to tell this story to my students, hoping to move them. I am very happy to see this news." Sina Guangxi netizen: "Good people get rewarded, Dandong is a city full of humanity!" Netizen on 21CN: "People all over the country learn from the people of Dandong, so that the social atmosphere will get better and better!" Folk moral models are more demonstrative and learnable. The moral power hidden in the hearts of ordinary people will be magnified into a strong mainstream social psychology through government support and media publicity, so that the personality charm of spiritual values ​​will promote the formation of gentle and honest folk customs .The wave of enthusiasm caused by Zheng Rendong's deeds has once again verified this trend. On April 21st, Lao Zheng was invited by the Communist Youth League Committee to a primary school in Zhenxing District. He personally donated the 2,000 yuan student grant donated to the Hope Project to 10 primary school students from impoverished families. Since he was a child, Zheng Rendong has always remembered a sentence from his mother-we can't take things that are not his own.Lao Zheng relayed the teachings of his parents to the primary school students who admired him. He hoped that the students would study hard, be honest and dedicated, and make more contributions to the country and society in the future.And the students were infected by him, and they all said: they should be a good person like Grandpa Zheng. "Giving someone a rose will leave a lingering fragrance in your hand." Lao Zheng, who is with the children, feels that he is also happy. As an ordinary laborer, Zheng Rendong has touched thousands of people with his beautiful heart.Then, a series of unexpected "surprises" moved Lao Zheng, who touched others, for a long time—— On September 11, Zheng Rendong won the honorary title of "Liaoning Moral Model". On September 20, Zheng Rendong won the second "National Moral Model" honor in the selection of more than 70 million valid votes across the country, and was received by Li Changchun and other party and state leaders at the commendation meeting held in Beijing. On September 27, Zheng Rendong's son finally ended his love "long-distance running" and held a wedding because his father was happy to get a low-rent house.At the wedding, the staff of the Municipal Civilization Office announced: "The groom's father, Zheng Rendong, as a representative of the masses in Liaoning Province, has been specially invited to Beijing to attend the 60th National Day celebration." On October 1, Zheng Rendong and the first national moral model, Wu Xiujun from Benxi, as the only two representatives of the masses in Liaoning, watched the 60th anniversary of the National Day military parade, mass parade and National Day Gala on the viewing platform in front of Tiananmen Square... After participating in the ceremony, Lao Zheng didn't stay long in Beijing. He thought of Binjiang Middle Road, where he was assigned to clean, and needed others to take over when he was away, so he hurried back to Dandong to work.Wearing the familiar plain cleaning clothes and appearing on the road full of tourists by the Yalu River with a broom, when someone asked about his impressions of entering Beijing, he said with a silly smile: "In recent months, unexpected There are too many things, but it is the most unexpected thing to be able to attend the 60th anniversary of the National Day in Beijing. I must keep the honor given to me by the party and the people in my heart forever. In the future, I will use myself His good deeds spread spiritual civilization, drive more people, and make our Dandong and our motherland even better!" The world is changing, but kindness is eternal.Lao Zheng, a good man, moved the society with his good deeds, and everyone was also touched by the society's rewards for good people.This is the "Zheng Rendong Phenomenon" that happened in Dandong, the most beautiful border city in our country.I think through this phenomenon, people and even the whole society will pay more attention and call for the spirit of good people. May the spirit of good people last forever!
