Chapter 45 Heroes Across the Century in April and Fourth——Record of the Second National Moral Model Gao Yubao

In the early 1950s, an autobiographical novel called "Gao Yubao" became popular in China. It created a literary miracle of the trinity of title, protagonist and author.As a result, Gao Yubao also became the idol of young people in that period, and the chapters in the novel such as "The Cock Crows at Midnight" and "I Want to Study" are well-known to every household, women and children. Since then, Gao Yubao’s name has become popular in China, and he was affectionately called a "warrior writer" by Premier Zhou Enlai. He was received by Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin, Zhu Rongji and other party and state leaders 30 times. "People's Daily" published an article in 1952, calling him a "heroic literary warrior". Bao has crossed the long journey of sixty years in his life. In fact, this is another miracle in life created by Gao Yubao.

Gao Yubao created many miracles, such as battles of life and death, feats of painting and calligraphy, giving traditional education reports in his old age... However, no matter what kind of miracle, as long as you go deep into Gao Yubao's inner world, you will understand that all these miracles originate from his loyalty and love for the party, the motherland and the people. Under the education of the party's patriotism, Gao Yubao embarked on the road of revolution and grew up gradually.In the old society, Gao Yubao couldn't afford to go to school. When he was eight years old, he went to school for less than a month, and then paid off his debts to the landlord to herd pigs.He worked as a child laborer at the age of nine, and worked as a laborer for the Japanese for his seriously ill father at the age of fifteen, working as a coolie in a copper mine in Wafangdian.In the early autumn of 1945, Gao Yubao contracted typhoid fever. The Japanese devils wanted to drag him out and bury him alive. Uncle workers hid him in the mountains. Just two days later, the Japanese surrendered and Gao Yubao died.But he learned that the army led by the Communist Party saved him.At that time, he decided that he must work with the Communist Party, and the poor will have a good life.

In November 1947, Gao Yubao joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.On his first day in the army, he felt the warmth of home.The old soldier covered him with his own quilt, and the instructor pulled the quilt for him in the middle of the night. Gao Yubao, who was moved, secretly shed tears.In order to welcome their new soldiers, the troops specially made rice and pork stewed vermicelli. During the meal, the old soldiers and leaders continued to take care of their new soldiers. It was the first time that Gao Yubao felt so respected and happy. On February 19, 1948, Gao Yubao's troops captured Anshan. The local people sent some condolences and funds to the troops, and the troops distributed them to the soldiers.After distributing things and distributing money, the party group leader shouted: "The money has been distributed, and party members must take the initiative to pay party dues." Gao Yubao immediately took out all the money he had distributed and went to the party group Changna pays party dues.The team leader said: "Gao Yubao, are you a party member? What party dues do you pay?" Gao Yubao became anxious when he heard this: "I have been in the army for several months, am I still a party member?"

At this time, the instructor came over, and he kindly said to Gao Yubao: "Yubao, enlisting in the army is not joining the party. You are not a party member now, do you want to join the party?" Gao Yubao immediately said: "I want to join, I Why don’t you want to join the party?” The instructor said: “If you want to join the party, you should write an application for joining the party.” Gao Yubao said: “I don’t know how to write.” The instructor said: “Why do you want to join the party? Write whatever you want." After speaking, he patted Gao Yubao on the shoulder and left.The instructor thought that Gao Yubao could not write content, but did not know that Gao Yubao could not write characters either.

Gao Yubao was dumbfounded, not to mention the content, he couldn't write yet, so he had to ask someone for help, but there were few people who could write at that time, and he couldn't find anyone who could help after searching for a long time, so he finally decided to write it himself.He wrote an application for joining the party in a special way.The content is only eight words: I want to join the party from the bottom of my heart.Of the eight characters, only the word "I" was written crookedly, the character "cong" drew a caterpillar, the character "xin" drew a heart, the character "eye" drew an eye, and the character "li" drew a big pear , the word "yao" wrote the individual character "bite", the character "in" drew a fish, and the character "dang" could not be written. He remembered the big bell hanging on the tree at the entrance of the school in the village, so he drew a Tree, another clock was drawn on the tree, and the sound "," from the clock was used to replace the word "party".After writing the application for joining the party, Gao Yubao found an instructor.After the instructor took it, he was confused and didn't know what it was: "Xiao Gao, what are you doing?" Gao Yubao blushed and said, "This is an application for joining the party." Tell the instructor.

The instructor laughed after hearing this, "This is very good. Although you drew it, it also represents your heart. As long as you want to join the party, listen to the party, and follow the party, you will definitely become a good party member." , the instructor wrote an application for joining the party for Gao Yubao.On June 8, 1948, when the troops were stationed in Tangheyan Village, Anshan, Gao Yubao honorably joined the Communist Party of China.Since then, because he is not afraid of hardships in marching and fighting, he is brave in battle, and he has played an exemplary role in everything. He became a full-fledged party member when he became a probationary party member for fifty-seven days.

Gao Yubao thought in his heart that once he joined the party, he became a member of the party, and everything he owned belonged to the party.He couldn't write, but he made up four lyrics to express his sincerity to the party: "The party is a mother and I am a baby. I will do whatever I am asked to do. I will always listen to my mother." talk." October 10, 1948 was Gao Yubao's most memorable day.Because this day is the first day of the Tashan blockade. Since ancient times, Tashan has been a battleground for military strategists. It is the only traffic artery leading to the Northeast Railway and Highway in North China. It is the key to the success of the Liaoshen Campaign. If Tashan falls, the outcome of the Liaoshen Campaign and even the liberation of the Northeast will be unpredictable. .At that time, there were only 4 regiments of our army guarding Tashan, while the enemy's attacking troops had 11 reorganized divisions, and all of them were equipped with American equipment.

When the battle progressed to three o'clock in the afternoon on the fourth day, there were not many fighters in the No. 6 position of Gao Yubao's regiment who could fight.The head of the regiment hurriedly ordered: "Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, go to the grove behind the mountain and transfer the Ninth Company up, and let them enter the No. 6 position." Everyone sacrificed.After Gao Yubao received the order, he took a look at the enemy's bomber flying over his head, jumped out of the single invisible body, and ran towards Jiulian.After arriving at the Jiulian position, the soldiers saw the regiment correspondent coming, and knew that there must be a mission, and they all gathered around: "Xiao Gao, I have a mission." Gao Yubao nodded and said, "Yes." After finishing speaking He went straight to the temporary headquarters of the company headquarters and conveyed the order of the commander to the commander of the ninth company: "The commander ordered you to enter the No. 6 position before five o'clock." Even if the company submits a blood letter, it must contribute its youth to defending Tashan and liberating the entire Northeast.This situation had a great impact on Gao Yubao.

Seeing that there was still time, the company commander told all the soldiers of the company to eat immediately to preserve their energy.After the company commander conducted a brief pre-war mobilization after the meal, the Ninth Company set off.There are more than 200 people in this company. It is a reinforced company, and all the soldiers are alive and well.After Gao Yubao completed the task, he returned to the regiment to report for duty. The battle is still fierce.By noon on the fifth day, the No. 6 position had been charged by the enemy many times, causing heavy casualties and the situation was very critical.At this time, the head of the regiment shouted again: "Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, go and transfer the guard company up to strengthen the No. 6 position." The guard company will not be transferred to the front line unless it is a last resort. The chief of staff of the regiment is also anxious at this time. He said to the head of the regiment: "Head, I will go too, and I will go up with the guard company." The head of the regiment disagreed at first, but seeing that the chief of staff was very determined, he nodded in agreement.Because the chief of staff's bodyguard did not come back due to a mission, the head of the regiment asked Gao Yubao to become the chief of staff's bodyguard.

Gao Yubao and the chief of staff left the regiment headquarters and went straight to the guard company's station.But at this time, the enemy's artillery shells hit very hard, hitting our army's position in rows and patches.The chief of staff handed the telescope to Gao Yubao, and he wanted to study the battle plan with the commander of the guard company.Gao Yubao took a binoculars and looked towards the No. 6 position. The scene at that time shocked him so much that he almost shouted. Gao Yubao saw that there were eight or nine enemies sneaking up on the front of No. 6 position, but No. 6 position seemed to have no response.Just when he was in a hurry, he saw an amazing scene through the telescope.In the position, a soldier with a broken leg suddenly spotted the enemy. He shouted that the enemy was coming up, while crawling in front of a machine gun, but his calf, which had not been completely broken, was in the way. Look at him He grabbed a bayonet beside him, gritted his teeth, cut off his calf, lifted it up and threw it at the enemy down the hillside.The sudden thing scared the enemy to the ground, thinking it was a new type of weapon, and when they saw clearly that it was a human thigh, they stood up again and rushed forward.But at this time, the soldier with a broken leg had already climbed in front of the machine gun. When the enemy rushed forward again, his machine gun rang, and a shuttle of bullets shot out. Lie on the ground.

Gao Yubao saw that the soldier's machine gun was out of bullets, but the soldier obviously couldn't move anymore, so he called out to a blind soldier beside him, what Gao Yubao couldn't hear, but when he saw the blind soldier, he immediately moved to the side. The bullet box moved to the front of the soldier with the broken leg and helped him load the bullets.When the enemy came up again, the machine gun fired again.The enemy fell, and the warrior passed out. At this time, the chief of staff also rushed to the No. 6 position with the soldiers of the guard company.The chief of staff ordered the soldiers to mount their bayonets, and with one charge, beat back a small group of enemies behind them. After that, the guard company studied and decided to sneak attack a small enemy force. However, when the chief of staff stood on a small high ground on the side of the No. 6 position and observed with a telescope, he found that the enemy already knew the intention of our guard company, and the two teams were encircling our guard company.After the chief of staff found out, he hurriedly ordered Gao Yubao beside him: "Yubao, go and call the guard company back to me, or you will be made dumplings by the enemy. Hurry up!" Gao Yubao agreed: "Yes!" and immediately Ask, "Where can I find you after completing the mission?" The chief of staff said: "Still here." Knowing the importance of this mission, Gao Yubao hurriedly ran towards the direction of the guard company.After catching up with the guard company, he hurriedly conveyed the order of the chief of staff, and the guard company hurriedly withdrew its position according to the order of the chief.Gao Yubao went back to find the chief of staff, and it was already dark by then.However, when Gao Yubao returned to the small highland, the chief of staff disappeared.Just when Gao Yubao was in a hurry, he suddenly found a lot of enemies, and they came to sneak attack on the No. 6 position.Gao Yubao's sudden appearance caught them off guard, and they were afraid of disturbing the No. 6 position by shooting, so they wanted to catch him alive.Gao Yubao didn't dare to shoot, because he was afraid that he would be exposed.He hurriedly got into the small woods and ran to the No. 6 position. He ran in front and the enemy chased him behind.When he reached the foot of the hill at position six, he tripped over a wounded enemy.The enemy behind asked, where did Xiaobalu go?At this time, the injured enemy hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Balu is by my side, come and catch him!" Gao Yubao was in a hurry, but he still didn't dare to shoot, because he was afraid of exposing himself to the enemy, and because he was afraid of his comrades on the mountain. Misjudged and shot him.So he exerted all his strength and smashed at the enemy with the handle of the gun.After hearing a "click", the handle of Gao Yubao's gun broke, and the enemy was crushed to death, and there was no more movement.Gao Yubao returned to the No. 6 position. The comrades in arms were very happy when Gao Yubao returned, and the chief of staff was the happiest. He was worried about Gao Yubao. When he saw Gao Yubao, his first words were: "Great, you are still alive." So he hugged Gao Yubao. In the Tashan blocking battle, Gao Yubao not only completed two arduous communication tasks, but also killed an enemy, and won a first-class meritorious service after the battle. After six days and six nights of hard fighting, our army finally repelled the enemy's eleven divisions with the strength of four regiments, successfully completed the task of blocking Tashan, killed, wounded, and captured 6,000 enemies. However, we The army also paid a heavy price of 3,000 sacrifices. Only those who have come out of the war know that today's life is not easy. Since joining the army, Gao Yubao has successively participated in major battles such as Liaoyang, Anshan, Liaoshen, Pingjin, and Hengbao. He has won six major meritorious service and two minor meritorious service. He also witnessed the tragedy of the war with his own eyes. feat.These have also become a powerful spiritual motivation for his selfless struggle and dedication throughout his life. Several things prompted Gao Yubao to learn culture, read and read. After the troops surrounded Beiping, one night, the head of the regiment asked him to deliver documents to the three battalions. Because it was dark, Gao Yubao hurriedly delivered the letters and returned to the station.Not long after entering the door, he was criticized by the chief.It turned out that he sent all the letters by mistake: the one who should have been sent to the first battalion, he sent to the second battalion; the one who should have been sent to the second battalion, he sent to the third battalion.Gao Yubao was very scared when he thought about it, thankfully it was not a combat order, if it was a combat order, the consequences would be disastrous. Once, Gao Yubao followed the head to the regiment headquarters in Beijing for a meeting. When the meeting was about to start, the head asked Gao Yubao to go back to the station to pick up a document.The meeting place was at Chongwenmen, and the chief was stationed at Dongzhimen. Gao Yubao trotted all the way back to the station, but he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know which of the pile of documents the chief wanted, so he had to pick up all the documents and run. Back to the venue.When the chief saw it, he said "Oh". After everyone knew what was going on, they all looked at Gao Yubao and laughed, but Gao Yubao wanted to cry. On the way to the south, when the troops passed by Zhengzhou, Gao Yubao happened to stop at the front.There were huge crowds of people on both sides of the road that day, and they all came to welcome the PLA.The common people gave all kinds of small gifts to their soldiers, including eggs, insoles, towels and so on.At that time, the troops had just issued new military uniforms, and Gao Yubao was neatly dressed, with binoculars on his chest and a gun on his back, looking very mighty.At this time, a group of children ran to Gao Yubao, took out their notebooks and asked him to write the inscription as a souvenir.It was very difficult for Gao Yubao, he was so anxious that he didn't even dare to take the pen.The sweat on the head was rushing down, falling drop by drop on the children's notebooks, and even the comrades around were sweating anxiously.Helpless, the children left with disappointment. From then on, Gao Yubao made up his mind to learn culture and read and write.He also realized that uneducated people cannot make great contributions to the country; it is also difficult for uneducated party members to complete important tasks entrusted by the party. Gao Yubao made up his mind to start with literacy and writing.But at that time, the troops were either marching or fighting, and they couldn't even find paper and pens.He came up with an idea and poured out a satchel to hold the small tiles he picked up.Ask the literate people around him to draw words on the tiles for him with nails.As soon as he has time, he pays close attention to studying.During the rest of the march, even if it was only for a few minutes, he would use the earth as paper and the branches as pens, take out the words on the tiles in his bag, and read and write accordingly.As soon as he arrived at the station, his comrades hurriedly rested after a tiring day, but he sneaked aside to continue studying.He was even more tired, and the heavy tiles in his schoolbag were enough for him after a day.But no matter how tired or difficult, Gao Yubao has never stopped learning to read. After more than half a year of hard work, Gao Yubao finally learned more than one hundred characters, which made him very happy.Later he became a military postman, which provided conditions for him to learn characters.He saved up all the remaining paper from the military mimeograph tabloids and bound them into a small book. When he had the book, he went to the staff to ask for some used pencil ends. The weight makes it easier to write. After the troops liberated Hunan, they lived in Xiaojia Lane in the suburbs of Changsha County. During a lunch break, Gao Yubao asked a literate comrade-in-arms to read him a comic book "Youth Mao Zedong".It is mentioned in the book that Chairman Mao was very eager to learn when he was a teenager. After reading many ancient books, he found a question: Why are the protagonists in the book all civil servants and military generals, talented scholars and beautiful ladies, and there is no farmer?Gao Yuba immediately thought, yes, when I was a child laborer, I listened to so many books, but I didn't write about the poor.Soon, the army issued a book written by the writer Bai Ren, called "Revenge of Injustice", which is a book about suffering people.Gao Yubao was very educated and inspired once again. Gao Yubao thought of his miserable childhood, the evil landlords, the hateful Japanese devils, and his mother, younger brother, grandfather and uncle who died when the Japanese ruled Dalian; The idea is stronger.All these aroused Gao Yubao's desire to write a book for future generations to read, and once this desire arises, it can never be dispelled. On August 27, 1948, Gao Yubao wrote the autobiographical novel "Gao Yubao" in Xiaojia Lane, Jiangbei Town, Changsha County, Hunan Province, and his literary career began. Writing and literacy are two different things.Gao Yubao started to write a book, but difficulties came one after another.The more than one hundred characters I usually learn are not enough at all, and I can't write ten characters in a sentence in eight or nine cases.The well-thought-out stories and characters just can't be expressed, all kinds of difficulties weigh on Gao Yubao's heart like a mountain.For a while, Gao Yubao wanted to give up, but he felt sorry for his dead comrades and relatives for not writing. Gao Yubao thought, there are difficulties, but compared with what he suffered in childhood, what are these difficulties?Compared with the dead comrades in arms, what difficulties can't be overcome?Be sure to write down, no matter how difficult it is, you have to write down.He made up his mind and found a way. He remembered his original application form for joining the party. Yes, he drew down the words he didn't know, and filled them in when he learned it.For example, if the Japanese devils couldn't write the character "ghost", he would draw a human face and stick out a big tongue to act like a ghost. After looking at it later, he would know the meaning of "ghost"; He drew a human face and opened his mouth to cry, but he thought again, people cry and laugh, and sometimes they both open their mouths. In order to distinguish them, he drew a few tears on the human face. He came out; he couldn't write the word "kill", so he drew a human head, and then drew a big knife on the neck of the person, which meant that the head was cut off, which was the word "kill".He couldn’t understand some characters, so he had to draw circles and fill them in immediately after learning; for some characters he knew only half, he wrote down the half he knew first, and drew a circle for the half he didn’t know, leaving a gap, like a person holding firewood. At that time, I could only write the word "扌", but I couldn't write the word Bao, so I left a mouth next to "扌". At that time, Gao Yubao was obsessed with writing.Once, when the troops traveled to the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, when he was distributing newspapers in the field, he suddenly saw an old man walking in front of him.The old man was holding an umbrella and carrying a small bag. Gao Yubao believed that he was a man of culture.It happened that there were so many words in the book he wrote that were not filled in, so I wanted to learn a few words from the old man.He tied his horse to a tree, put the mail in the ground, and went after the old man.I never thought that the old man didn't know the People's Liberation Army. When he saw someone chasing him, he also ran away, and then threw away his umbrella and small bag.Gao Yubao picked up the umbrella and the small bag, and shouted while running: "Old Cousin, I am the People's Liberation Army, and I am here to protect Lao Cousin." The old man couldn't run anymore, so he had to stand down.Gao Yubao ran to the old man and returned the umbrella and the small bag to the old man. Then the old man said, "So it's Dajun. What's the matter?" Teach me a few words." The old man was startled, and Gao Yubao also felt embarrassed.After the old man heard this, his doubts disappeared and he smiled.He took Gao Yubao's hand and said, "Come on, let's sit down, and I'll teach you." Before parting, the old man patted Gao Yubao's shoulder and said, "You're such a good boy, such an army is rare. .” When Gao Yubao wrote the book, in order to clarify the characters, he asked his comrades in arms, asked the landlord, chased the old man, and stopped the commander.One day at noon, Gao Yubao was writing during his break time, and he was stumped by a few words, but there was no one around to teach him, and when he was scratching his head, the commander Wu Kehua rode a bay red war horse to inspect the troops.Gao Yubao didn't know the commander, so he ran forward with his notebook, saluted and said, "Please don't go, chief, I want to ask you a few words." At this moment, the commander's guard became anxious, "Who are you? , This is the commander, busy with work, why is your comrade like this?" When Gao Yubao heard that it was broken, this is the commander, and thought to himself, he must be criticized.But he did not expect that the commander got off his horse and said very kindly: "Little comrade, what word did you ask?" After teaching Gao Yubao a few words, he got on his horse and left.As a result, the story of Gao Yubao stopping the commander and the general teaching the soldiers to read began to spread in the army.Later, when Gao Yubao's novel was published, General Wu Kehua congratulated Gao Yubao. The story of Gao Yubao’s novel writing spread in the army, and Chi Zhiyuan, the head of the publicity department, came to see Gao Yubao on purpose, and wrote a few words of encouragement to Gao Yubao: “Comrade Yubao, I hope you will continue to write and make this book It must be like the same.” Gao Yuyu didn’t know this book at the time, and he asked inexplicably: “I let pigs go, and I worked as a laborer, but I never made steel. Why do I need to know how steel is made?” The chief laughed.Only then did I tell Gao Yubao that this was the title of a book, and the protagonist was Paul, who wrote an inspiring book when he was blind.Gao Yubao was very encouraged when he heard this. People who are blind can write books, and I can even more so. Gao Yubao paid ten times more for writing than ordinary people.At that time, the army was chasing Bai Chongxi in Guangxi, and his big red horse fell to his death while crossing a steep mountain.He had to carry those family letters, documents, bullets and his manuscripts on his back, and ran back and forth in the army every day to deliver family letters and documents.When he was most tired, he vomited blood. After the chief found out, he gave his horse to Gao Yubao.In this way, Gao Yubao finally wrote the 200,000-character autobiographical novel "Gao Yubao" in one year and five months with tenacious perseverance and fighting spirit.The manuscript was completed in Jieyang, Guangdong on January 28, 1951.Later this manuscript was collected by the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. "Gao Yubao" was serialized in "Liberation Army Literature and Art" in 1951 under the care of military leaders at all levels, and with the careful guidance and help of military writers. Readers' favorite.On December 16, 1953, the People's Daily published a long newsletter titled "The Heroic Literary and Art Warrior Gao Yubao", introducing Gao Yubao and calling on the broad masses of the people to march toward culture and become masters of culture.In April 1955, the People's Liberation Army Literature and Art Publishing House officially published "Gao Yubao".The publication of this book played a great role in promoting the national and military literacy campaigns in the early days of the founding of New China, and sparked an upsurge in cultural learning among workers and peasants. The publication of "Gao Yubao" also created a miracle in the history of Chinese literature. Seven national languages ​​have been published in China, and the number of books published in Chinese alone has reached more than 4.5 million volumes.Among them, "I want to study" and "Cock Crows at Midnight" have been compiled into the textbooks of primary and secondary schools in our country.In foreign countries, more than ten countries and regions have translated and published the book "Gao Yubao" in fifteen languages. In the sixty years since its publication, "Gao Yubao" has influenced generations of children and young people, and played a positive role in their patriotic education.When Gao Yubao was the most, he could receive 200 letters from readers a day, and the letters had already filled four large wooden boxes. Under the strong request of readers at home and abroad, "Gao Yubao's sequel" was also published in August 1991 by the People's Liberation Army Literature and Art Publishing House.The publication of this book not only satisfies the wishes of readers, but also fulfills one of Gao Yubao's own wishes. He finally wrote a work commemorating those comrades in arms who shed blood and sacrificed for the motherland today.Those battle scenes and those heroes who bleed and sacrifice can better educate young people to love the hard-won beautiful life today and work hard for the prosperity of the motherland. Gao Yubao gave the report. If you count carefully, he started it in October 1952, and it has been nearly 60 years now.From Brother Gao in the early 1950s, to Uncle Gao in the 1970s, and to Grandpa Gao after the 1990s, Gao Yubao has given more than 5,000 reports to schools, institutions, enterprises, businesses, and troops. The number of people reached 5 million.He traveled nearly 300,000 kilometers, covering more than 20 provinces and cities across the country.He talked about patriotism and life values ​​all over the country, and he was warmly welcomed and aroused great repercussions.Many audiences called him the living history, living witness, and living teaching material of old and new China, war experience, so that the audience received a living education.Therefore, many units across the country invite him to give reports, and millions of listeners, as well as audiences and readers of generations of teenagers and children across the country, are all his close friends. On October 20, 1952, this was the first report Gao Yubao was invited to give at the local level.At that time, Gao Yubao was revising the manuscript of "Gao Yubao" by the Ministry of Political Affairs and Culture. After the publication of several chapters of the book, it caused great repercussions throughout the country. became the object of attention.At that time, Gao Yubao lived in the guest house of the Ministry of Culture of the General Political Department where he edited the manuscript. It happened to be the neighbor of Beijing Rongxian Hutong Primary School in the Rongxian Hutong to the south of the Great Hall of the People.After the school found out where Gao Yubao lived, they came over to ask him to give a report to the students.Encouraged by the chiefs, Gao Yubao went to Rongxian Primary School.He only remembered that the principal introduced to the students in the whole school that Brother Gao Yubao was invited to give a report to the students.At that time, Gao Yubao was very nervous. Facing hundreds of children on the playground, Gao Yubao didn't know what he said.But this first report made him firmly remember it. After this report, Gao Yubao never stopped.Gao Yubao has a simple idea. He wants to tell generations of young friends that today’s life is hard-won. It is the result of the bloodshed and sacrifice of the martyrs and the bloody struggle of the people led by the Communist Party; The motherland, let the red country pass on from generation to generation. Gao Yubao fever quickly set off across the country.On December 1, 1952, Shanghai Middle School on Luge Road, Shanghai established the "Gao Yubao" self-study group; Young Pioneers"; on April 26, 1953, the "Gao Yubao Class" was established in the No. 3 Junior Middle School of Tai County, Guangdong Province.Up to now, nearly a hundred Gao Yubao Study Groups, Gao Yubao Young Pioneers Teams, Gao Yubao Young Pioneers Squadrons, and Gao Yubao Classes have been established across the country. In 1963, there was an upsurge of learning from Lei Feng across the country.On the night when Chairman Mao’s inscription was just published, Gao Yubao stayed up all night, and wrote a small poem overnight: Lei Feng and I have the same fate, the Communist Party survives, you sacrifice your life for the motherland, and I will be your successor.Gao Yubao wrote it this way, and he did it the same way.In the years that followed, Gao Yubao gave more lectures, sometimes one hundred and thirty or forty lectures a year, and sometimes two or three lectures a day.No matter where you are, no matter how far you are, you will come; no matter your age, you will almost always reply to your letter.A trip to Tianjin was prompted by correspondence with a child. In the second grade of Zhengzhuangzi Street Primary School in Hedong District, Tianjin, a little girl named Ding Shuang came home and told her mother that she wanted to know how Gao Yubao was doing after she finished studying Gao Yubao's "I Want to Study" up.My mother was very happy when she heard it, and thought it was a good opportunity to educate her children.Mom said: "Mom also read his books when I was young. Now Gao Yubao, you should be called Grandpa Gao." Ding Shuang said: "I want to write a letter to Grandpa Gao. I don't know if Grandpa Gao can receive it." , can you reply to me when you receive it?" In those few days, Tianjin's "Tonight News" published Gao Yubao's latest situation and mailing address, so after Ding Shuang wrote Gao Yubao's letter, he asked his mother to post out.At the same time as the mother mailed out her daughter's letter, she also wrote a letter to Gao Yubao and mailed it out.In addition to her greetings, she also hoped that Gao Yubao would reply to her daughter's letter after receiving her daughter's letter, so as to give her daughter confidence. Gao Yubao received both letters at the same time.After receiving the letter, Gao Yubao seriously wrote a reply to Xiao Ding Shuang, and at the same time sent a red scarf.This red scarf was given to Gao Yubao by children when he participated in Dalian's Children's Day event.Xiao Ding Shuang was very happy to receive the letter and the red scarf from Grandpa Gao.Her school posted Gao Yubao's letter on the bulletin board of the campus for all the students in the school to read and receive education.The school also got in touch with Gao Yubao, hoping to send a CD-ROM of Gao Yubao's report to the school, and Gao Yubao sent it.After listening to it, the school thought it was very good, and thought that if Gao Yubao himself could come to the school to give a report, the effect would definitely be better.So I got in touch with Gao Yubao and said that after the Spring Festival, I would take Ding Shuang to Dalian to pick up Gao Yubao to give a report at their school before school started. Just after the Spring Festival, Gao Yubao and his wife went to the People's Liberation Army Publishing House to revise his "Gao Yubao Sequel".When revising the manuscript, the daughter of the family called them and said that a reporter had invited them to report to the school that started.This reminded Gao Yubao, and he suddenly remembered that he promised Zheng Zhuangzi Main Street Primary School to give a report.He was afraid that people would come to Dalian to find him, so he immediately contacted the school.The next day the other party received the message, they rushed to Beijing to pick him up.He and his wife took the small photo that Xiao Ding Shuang mailed to them and went to the station to pick up the person, but they took two turns, and no one picked him up. But when they returned to the hotel, they saw that Xiao Ding Shuang and their principal had arrived. On the way to Tianjin the next morning, the principal said to Gao Yubao: "Mr. Gao, I originally planned to invite you to take a look around the city of Tianjin in the afternoon and give a report to our school tomorrow, but now I can't see it anymore. You have to give a report in the afternoon. Tomorrow there will be another one in the whole district, do you think it will work?" Gao Yubao smiled: "I am here to give a report, so what else can I do?" It turned out that the principal came to the Hedong District to ask Gao Yubao to give a report. The leaders of the Education Committee made a report.The leader of the education committee said, this is a good opportunity, you can't just listen to the school, the whole district should listen to it.Therefore, the activity in the afternoon was canceled, and Ding Shuang's school and two neighboring schools were arranged to listen to the report together. On the next morning, other schools in Hedong District were arranged to listen to the report together, and they returned in the afternoon. After lunch, Gao Yubao was taken to the reporting place.The auditorium of the school was full, and more than a thousand teachers and students from the school plus representatives from neighboring schools came to listen to the report.Leaders from the District Education Committee and the District Youth League Committee also came.The title of Gao Yubao's report was "Aspire to Study and Serve the Motherland". During the one-and-a-half-hour report, the venue was completely silent, and everyone was attentive. As soon as the report was over, the children gathered around. They took a photo with Grandpa Gao and let Grandpa Gao sign.What Gao Yubao gave back to the children was a special business card, on which was the application for joining the party drawn by Gao Yubao, and there was a little girl selling tea eggs in tears. "A book.Gao Yubao has already talked about the content above, and the children especially like it. In the morning of the next day, I gave a report to representatives of teachers and students from several schools in Hedong District, Tianjin. After the report was over, Gao Yubao was stopped by the leaders of Tianjin Hexi District Education Committee before he stepped off the rostrum.The other side said earnestly: "Old Gao, where there is Hedong in Tianjin, there is Hexi. You made a report in Hedong District, and you can't leave Hexi District. Let us do one too." Gao Yubao said: "I'll go back to Beijing I’ve bought all the tickets.” The other party said, “Then let’s refund, we’ll buy you tickets for tomorrow.” Gao Yubao had no choice but to agree. In the afternoon, the Hexi District Education Committee informed nearly 10,000 teachers and students in the whole district to come to listen to Gao Yubao's report in a large stadium.Although there were many people, the venue was very quiet and the order was very good.This time, the reporters from the radio station and TV station also came, and they kept running and recording non-stop.That night, Tianjin TV station broadcast the news that Gao Yubao came to Tianjin to give a report in the news program. When returning to the hotel after dinner at night, Gao Yubao didn't expect that many people had gone to his residence and were waiting for him there.Some asked Gao Yubao to sign it, and some deliberately took their children to take a photo with Gao Yubao, saying that two generations had read Gao Yubao's books and received education, so they wanted to keep a memorial. At this time, a reporter from Tianjin "Tonight News" came to the door to "settle accounts", but also for the reason that the interview found was not a reason.They said that it was they who led the way for Mr. Gao to come to Tianjin, but they didn't know that Mr. Gao was here, so they asked Mr. Gao to give them a large amount of time for interviews to make up for their losses.Gao Yubao didn't understand, they told the whole story. 原来，天津市的另一所小学叫鞍山道小学，两名小学生也是读了课文《我要读书》后，想知道高玉宝爷爷现在的情况。就给天津《今晚报》写了信。这家报纸很认真，就与沈阳军区联系上了，得知了高玉宝的近况和通信地址，之后登在了他们的报纸上。这就是丁爽妈妈看到的信息，才让丁爽写信的。 这样，高玉宝满足了《今晚报》记者采访的要求。采访结束时，记者又提出个小请求，希望明天上车前高玉宝能到一下鞍山道小学去一下，看一下写信的那两个小女孩，高玉宝答应了。第二天早晨，高玉宝刚起来，宾馆大堂里已经来了十几位拜访的人，他们有的给高玉宝带来了天津的小吃，有的特意来签名留念的。一个中年男子递给高玉宝一个笔记本，请高玉宝给他的孩子题个字。高玉宝问：“你孩子多大了？”对方说：“三个月了。”高玉宝说：“还太小呢？”对方说：“你就先给写几句吧，我怕孩子长大了，找不到你。” 早饭过后，两个区教委的领导们，还有记者，丁爽他们都来了，他们一同上车去了鞍山道小学。到了学校后，高玉宝把事先准备好的两条红领巾，送给了两名写信的小学生，并说了些鼓励她们的话，然后才离开天津。此次之行后，高玉宝被天津市河东区聘请为全区的校外辅导员，区荣誉市民。 一九九零年六月的一天，大连市聋哑学校请高玉宝为孩子们讲一课。那天早晨动身前，他突然心脏病发作了，家里人劝他不要去了，可他说，我已经答应孩子们了，要是不去孩子们该失望了。吃完药后，硬是骑着自行车走了。到了学校，老师们知道他病了，也劝他不要讲了，但高玉宝还是走上了讲台。他以《幸福不忘共产党》为题作了一场生动的革命传统教育。课后，孩子们都十分高兴，都打着手势，向高玉宝表示敬意。 在海城少年管教所，为失足青少年作报告时，高玉宝望着台下那些孩子们，半天说不出话来。他的嘴都颤抖了，他说：“孩子们，爷爷小的时候，饭都吃不上，也没去偷去抢啊，你们有吃有穿，却走向了犯罪道路。但这些错不在你们，在我们成年人身上，在你们的父母身上。你们原来都是好孩子，相信你们一定能够改正过来，重新做人，成为对社会有用的人。”孩子们听着，一边流泪，一边把头低下了。 从一九五二年高玉宝给北京绒线小学作第一场报告起，到二零一零年三月二十七日给大连好阿姨家政有限公司组织的社区青少年作报告为止，高玉宝作报告总数已达5000多场，听众已达500多万人次。 有人问高玉宝，一个教师给学生补一堂课还要收千八百块钱呢，你高玉宝这样一个名人，作一次报告得要多少钱呢？高玉宝干脆回答：我分文不收！ 六十年来，高玉宝给自己定了规矩，他作告有“三不要和三要原则”。一不要酬金，二不要礼品，三不要请吃。三要是，送红领巾要，送鲜花要，送聘书要。他收红领巾签名后，赠给学校最优秀的学生；接受鲜花后，他要送给学校最优秀的老师；只有送给他的聘书他留下，既是纪念也是责任。 高玉宝说，他一生只做了三件事，一件是参加南征北战解放全中国；一件是为教育下一代写书育人；一件是关心下一代工作，作爱国主义传统报告。 甘草寸心知。高玉宝把自己的一生都献给了党，献给了祖国，献给了人民。党和人民也没有忘记他，他先后获得了全国劳动模范、全军优秀共产党员、全国少年儿童校外工作先进工作者、全军先进离休老干部、全国关心下一代先进个人、第一届全国未成年人思想道德建设先进工作者、全国道德模范先进个人等荣誉称号。 高玉宝已是八十三岁高龄了，他总结自己的一生说：“人生，只有为祖国、为人民奉献，生命才有价值！”
