Chapter 3 2. Exciting is the official way

When we were very young, we yearned for a communist society.At that time, adults said: upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones, that is communism.Now that we have grown up, we have all these, but we find that communism is actually far, far away from us.Even the primary stage of communism - socialism, we have only just entered.So we have many doubts, but we still yearn for communism so much, because we yearn for communism, so we want to build socialism wholeheartedly.This is the common ideal and cause of all Communists. But what exactly is socialism?We also have many doubts. After several generations of communists have continued to explore and practice, and after eliminating many doubts, we finally understand the most basic truth: socialism must make the people rich, and only rich people can be happy. .When the people are truly rich and happy, that is socialism worthy of the name.

Walking into Huaxi Village, our strongest feeling is: the farmers here are really the happiest and wealthiest people in the world!They live in the most spacious and luxurious houses, park one to three cars in each family, eat basically free of money, wear their own "Compal" and "Huaxi" brand-name clothes, the elderly have generous retirement pensions, and their children go to school. It's all free, and each family pays millions or tens of millions of deposits... These days, guests from the United States and Europe all say with one voice: the farmers in Huaxi Village are the happiest people in the world. "If allowed, I'd rather be a villager here" - this was said by guests from Singapore, members of Congress from the United States, and government ministers from Germany.

In 2004, the Chinese government announced that China's per capita income had reached 1,000 US dollars. The birth of this data will call for China to enter the historical stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way from a backward and poor country.And when I came to Huaxi Village, I realized that the per capita income of farmers in Huaxi Village today has actually exceeded 8,000 US dollars. If you include various welfare subsidies in the village, their per capita income has actually exceeded 10,000 US dollars.Therefore, we are not surprised that we can hear the words of building "Zhongkang" and "Dakang" at any time in Huaxi Village.

The one who said this the most was Wu Renbao, the old branch secretary. It can be considered this way: Today's Huaxi Village has basically been "Zhongkang" in an all-round way.But what will the "Dakang" of Huaxi Village be like tomorrow?Or to say what China will be like fifty or one hundred years later, I hope to get some kind of feeling and experience in Huaxi Village, which has been ahead of others for decades, and I hope to get answers from Wu Renbao.However, this wise old man did not answer directly, but took me to a row of new buildings standing tall among the shaded flowers, small bridges and flowing water, and introduced with great interest that these eight "President "Villa" will be used by the elderly over 80 years old in the village in turn.

"Let the villagers enjoy the 'presidential villa'?" I am a little puzzled. Wu Renbao seemed to see what I was thinking, and explained with a smile: "The purpose of building the 'Presidential Villa' is to welcome more foreign guests, and the second? I also want Huaxi villagers to enjoy 'everything we can think of' in the world." The best material civilization". Listening to his words, a famous saying by Wu Renbao suddenly popped up in my mind: There are blessings for the people, but there are difficult officials. The farmers in Huaxi Village are so blessed that they can enjoy the "presidential" treatment that even those of us who have been living in the metropolis rarely enjoy!The real life of the president is not necessarily enjoyment, but the peasants who have the material treatment of the president are the real enjoyers.Wu Renbao has been pursuing a realm all his life, and this realm is to make his peasant brothers the happiest and wealthiest people in the world.In order to achieve this realm, he dedicated all the ruling philosophy and wisdom of a Communist to his people...

"Huaxi No. 398", this is Wu Renbao's home.If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, you would never have believed that while the peasants were enjoying a heavenly life, the “village owner” who created the myth of a wealthy China still lives in the old building of Huaxi Village in the 1970s with his wife. Li——according to Huaxi villagers, most of these buildings are now rented to "migrant workers" from other places. Wu Renbao is "putting on a show"?A big question mark jumped into my mind, but it was quickly denied. "The old party secretary has a famous saying called 'Blessings for the people, and difficult for the officials'. For decades, he has pretended to be the affairs of our people, so the life of the farmers in our Huaxi Village will be better and better." Villager Huang Yonggao - a The disabled farmer, while saying this, turned his legs and led me into the new villa he was decorating.

Huang Yonggao told me that he was not from Huaxi Village before, but from the nearby Huaming Village.When he was two years old, he fell from a tree and broke his leg. Because his family was poor and had no money for medical treatment, he became permanently disabled. One winter day in 1982, Huang Yonggao, who made a living by repairing shoes, squatted at the gate of a factory in Huaxi Village to repair shoes for others. There are bloody mouths... "What's your name, lad? How old are you?" Huang Yonggao saw that it was Wu Renbao, the old branch secretary of Huaxi Village, and hurriedly replied truthfully.

"Then would you like to work in Huaxi Village? We are building a hotel..." "Me? Can it work?" "I think it's okay, you can endure hardship." Huang Yonggao looked at Wu Renbao's kind and sincere eyes, and couldn't help crying... From then on, this disabled young man settled in Huaxi Village.A few years later, Huang Yonggao not only had a place for himself, but also fell in love with a Sichuan girl who was half his age and worked in a hotel at the age of 38.He was about to get married, and Huang Yonggao told Wu Renbao the good news. The old branch secretary was ecstatic, and specially organized five banquets for Huang Yonggao himself.After that, Huang Yonggao was assigned a three-story building.

"The old party secretary is very kind to the villagers! When I retired last year, he considered that my son was also going to middle school, so he adjusted this villa of more than 450 square meters for me..." Huang Yonggao wanted to let me feel what the old party secretary gave him. I took a good look at the upstairs and downstairs areas: it's so grand!The ground is polished marble and imported wood floors, aluminum alloy steel windows are shining, a full set of mahogany furniture and all kinds of electrical appliances... You can't imagine that this is a disabled farmer with a relatively low-to-medium income in Huaxi Village The look of the family.

"Old Huang, you are much more magnificent than the old party secretary's house!" I said a casual sentence, which made Huang Yonggao burst into tears and broke down in tears: "Yes, the conditions of the old party secretary's family are one-third of my level. Now, when I think about it, I feel very sorry." Huang Yonggao is telling the truth.A few hours ago, I entered Wu Renbao's house. In that old two-story building, there were three things that impressed me the most: One is the house full of photos, which are the photos of the owner and the party and state leaders in various periods. , local leaders and foreign friends together; the second is the dilapidated walls around; the third is the old southern wooden bed that few people use anymore.Without deliberate description, these three things can summarize the basic living conditions of the owner Wu Renbao: unpretentious, outdated, ordinary, and three generations behind the current living standards of Huaxi villagers.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Wu Renbao is the "emperor" of Huaxi, the "No. 1 village in the world", with unrivaled power and wealth, but Wu Renbao did not become the "emperor", he only became a public servant for the benefit of the people . "Why do people live? When they are alive, they need some money and enjoy some blessings. You can't just live for money and gain power just for enjoying blessings. It is the responsibility of a Communist Party member to make more contributions to the country and the people." My greatest happiness and satisfaction is to see the people’s lives get better and better.” During the Huaxi interview, Wu Renbao had three direct contacts with me, and he said such words twice, which impressed me very much. deep. In Huaxi Village, we asked any farmer at random, and when they talked about the old secretary, they could tell you a touching story about how the old secretary cared for them, and tears would always fill their eyes when they talked about the emotional part.The villagers have so much affection for Wu Renbao, so what do the common people look like in Wu Renbao's mind?This is something I very much want to know. "Let me tell you something." After my question, Wu Renbao, who was always smiling, became serious: "I was appointed as the party secretary of Jiangyin County in the organization that year. I was not prepared mentally, and I was unwilling to leave emotionally. Huaxi Village. But this is an organizational decision, and I have to take up the post. In those few days, people in the village thought that if I left, I might never be with everyone like before. They came in various ways Saying goodbye to me, one of the girls named Wu Heying said something that touched me when she gave me a pair of cloth shoes she personally bought. The child said: "Secretary Wu, it is your kindness that gave me my job and my family." , we people don’t expect anything, just hope that cadres like you don’t leave us, otherwise we won’t have a good life...’ At that time, I took the shoes she gave me and tasted her words, tears fell I came out. I know the situation of this child clearly. She had polio when she was a child, and she could only walk with a cane. At the age of 15, she could only eat at home. In the countryside, if a girl of this age is disabled, if she cannot support herself , I can only live a hard life for the rest of my life. The parents of the child are anxious, and I feel sad when I see it, thinking that the child must have a job. Later, I went to a belt factory in the town and asked the leader of the factory to help Wu Heying Find a master cobbler. He agreed, so I sent Xiao Heying to the boat. A year later, I took Xiao Heying back to Huaxi, and let her join the village service team, specializing in making shoes for the villagers. Repairing shoes, nailing palms and mending seams. This child is clever and handy. Not only the people in the village like her, but also a young man from the neighboring village. The two fell in love. When Xiao Heying got married, Murakami was separated. I bought her a new house, and I specially approved her groom, Gong Xiangxing, to settle down in Huaxi. Now Wu Heying’s family is living a happy life, with one son and one daughter in good health. A good job and a happy family. Xiao Heying’s changes and what she said when she gave me a pair of shoes touched me deeply, so sometimes I often think: ordinary people live at the bottom, and their happiness and hardships, if we If these party members and cadres working at the grassroots level don’t ask questions and help them, how can they live a good life! Ordinary people can’t live a good life, so what’s the use of us party members and cadres? So, As a party member or a cadre, you have only one responsibility in the final analysis: how to let your people and the people live a happy and fulfilling life.” Wu Renbao's words are not profound, but they reflect the core and essential content of the profound Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", that is: the entire responsibility of the Communists is to seek for the people happiness. From the 1950s of the last century to today's new century, Huaxi Village has always been at the forefront of China's rural development for half a century. The people here can live the happiest and richest life today. The most important point is that the leader Wu Renbao consistently shoulders the responsibility of the communists and devotes all his wisdom and emotion to this responsibility. At this point, I believe that readers, like me, finally understand why Wu Renbao still refuses to move out of the old house built in the 1970s after the entire village has already lived in the fourth and fifth generation villas. Why did he leave all the more than 50 million bonuses that he could put in his pocket to the collective. This is because he believes that the happy life of the common people will continue to improve. Even after "Zhongkang" and "Dakang", we still have an advanced stage of socialism and a communist society that we need to build and create; This is because, in his heart, the responsibility of Communists and cadres to seek happiness for the people is never-ending. Even after his own life is over, there is still a question of what kind of spiritual legacy to leave to future generations; This is because, by doing so, he can set an example for the party members and cadres of Huaxi Village who will become fully prosperous in the next generation, and let them understand that strict self-discipline, self-denial, and hard work are the true qualities of Communists that can never be lost. Some people have made incomplete statistics, only Wu Renbao's family, in the past five years, the amount of personal benefit bonuses that are due to the collective has been at least two to three billion yuan!Huaxi villagers know that with Wu Renbao's ability and popularity, he can completely move his entire family of three generations to Shenzhen, Shanghai or "cross the ocean". However, none of the 26 members of the Wu family has stayed in the village. Now even Wu Renbao's grandson-in-law has returned to West China from studying in Japan. In order to warn party members and cadres (including the wealthy villagers) to establish a correct outlook on life, Wu Renbao engraved a sentence he often said on the most conspicuous place at the head of the village.This sentence is now not only the motto of the village party members and cadres, but even ordinary villagers can memorize it by heart: "There are tons of gold in the house, and you can only eat three meals a day; the luxury house is the best, and each person can only occupy one bed. " He requires party members to have "party heart", "public heart" and "conscience".This "party heart" is the party's advanced nature and principledness, and it is the wholehearted service of the people.In terms of "the way of being an official", Wu Renbao adhered to the principles of "doing things seriously, dealing with things fairly, running a clean government, and trusting the people", and made "three chapters" for his daily life: first, don't drink alcohol, second, don't accompany guests, and third, don't go up People's dinner table. During an interview in Huaxi Village, a local leader once said to me such an intriguing sentence: Wu Renbao was able to bring Huaxi to what it is today, for two reasons: one is that he never left Huaxi Village, and the other is that he All my hearts are left to the people here. There is a lot of content behind this simple statement.As a well-known village branch secretary throughout the country, in Wu Renbao's own words, he has served as a "big representative, a medium representative, and a small representative", as well as a "small model worker, a middle-level model worker, and a national big model worker".But there was one thing he never did, that is, he never left Huaxi Village at any time.Even during the five years when he was the secretary of the county party committee, in addition to continuing to serve as the secretary of the village branch, most of the no less than 100 working days he set for himself each year were in Huaxi.As for matters in the village, it was commonplace to rush back to Huaxi early in the dark to deal with them.This is why he was defeated as a party representative by accident that year, and he was able to return to Huaxi Village naturally from the post of secretary of the county party committee, and was willing to be a farmer. Wu Renbao is now nearly 80 years old, but many people in Huaxi Village told me that the old party secretary's mental state and work enthusiasm have always been like a young man.He still gets up at four or five o'clock every day, and then begins to "walk around the village and the factory".I didn't go home until ninety o'clock in the evening.If something happens, the meeting time will be later.My wife was afraid that he would get into an accident when he got up early in the dark, so he always wanted to follow him and "watch" him, but in the end he couldn't even find him.Later, the village sent a young man to "watch" him, but it was that young man who was thrown away. "No one can catch up with the footsteps of the old secretary. Later we had to follow him." The secretary of the village office told me a very interesting thing.The Huaxi Village managed by Wu Renbao is now a huge union of industry, agriculture, business, government and culture. It is not an exaggeration to describe the work of being a family member as "everyday management". But the secretary told me: Wu Renbao has never had his own office. "The workshop of the factory, the field ridge in the countryside, the small bench in the nursery, and the farmer's home are his offices. The old party secretary always works on the spot. For decades, he has developed the habit of never having a fixed office." "What about bodyguards and secretaries?" It seems that some of today's "bosses" cannot lack these.So I quietly asked. "Hush! That's even more impossible." The Huaxi people laughed at such a question. I still don't give up, hoping to find some "real" Wu Renbao.When the opportunity came, the host wanted to invite me and a few accompanying local leaders to dinner, and the old branch secretary agreed that he would come.The banquet was quite rich, and the old branch secretary Wu Renbao was really present, but he came over to clink glasses with us one by one with a glass of white water in his hand, and said apologetically, "I can't break the rules. You should have enough food and clothing for yourselves!" Seeing the old man fade out of the banquet, While being moved, I still whispered to the waitress standing aside: "What does the old branch secretary eat next door?" "A bowl of noodles in clear soup. His favorite." The waitress blurted out, and then motioned me to look in through the crack of the door over there.I leaned over and took a quick glance: No, the old man is eating his "clear soup noodles" with relish, and there are no other bowls and bowls on the table. Wu Renbao devoted all his heart to the village and the villagers!His swift footsteps are the battle drum for Huaxi Village to catch up with the times; his undulating breathing is the movement of Huaxi villagers waking up in the morning and going to bed late; his smiling expression is the prelude to the happiness of Huaxi Village for a new day... Huaxi villagers sang their aspirations for the Communist Party and the old party secretary in a self-edited cultural program: "Old secretary, it is you who made us feel the great kindness of the Communist Party, and it is you who made us firm and walk out of society. Belief in the path of communism." "Renbao Renbao is the treasure of the country. The red flag will not fall despite the ups and downs." "Nearly 80 years old, working day and night. Health and longevity are what the people need." A leader visited Huaxi Village and heard the villagers talk about the old secretary Wu Renbao After decades of stories about loving the people for the people, I am very moved and happy to write such words. And when I was in Huaxi Village, the stories about the "old secretary" about the "old secretary" that I heard from the people's mouths were even more tear-jerking—— That was 30 years ago.The family of Sun Liangqing, a villager, was hit by a natural disaster, and his 12-year-old son unfortunately drowned and died.Sun Liangqing and his wife cried to death, no matter how much they tried to persuade them, they couldn't do anything.Seeing that the well-behaved Sun family was about to collapse, the villagers were anxious, and Wu Renbao was thinking hard.As the saying goes: Mountains of gold cannot exchange for a son.How to deal with the matter of the Sun family also made Wu Renbao feel awkward for a while.what to do?In those days, Wu Renbao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for several nights.One morning, after sending his son who was about to go to school out of the house, he suddenly yelled, "Yes!"Wu Renbao waved his hand and said, "Go to school quickly, and we'll talk when you come back!" The younger son Ah Si left, but Wu Renbao's eyes were wet... On this day, Wu Renbao came to Sun Liangqing's house and said to the Sun family couple: "The water flows You can’t take it back when you’re gone, and you can’t come back to life after death. Don’t be sad anymore, you are short of sons! I will give you my son. You can choose whichever is suitable for you!” Sun Liangqing and his wife were very surprised when they heard this, saying what is this? become!Wu Renbao took the hands of the Sun family couple and said affectionately: "Don't be polite. My Si is about the same age as your son, do you think it's okay?" "Are you going to give us Si?" This is the Sun family couple It was even more unexpected. Everyone in Huaxi Village knew that Wu Renbao loved his youngest son Ah Si the most. "That's it! From today on, Ah Si is the son of your grandson's family. I, Wu Renbao, are sincere, and Ah Si will treat you like my own sons until the end of my life." "Ah Si" was named Wu Xie'en, and later he really became the son of the Sun family. After more than ten years, he married the youngest daughter of the Sun family and became the son-in-law of the Sun family.Wu Xie'en is now the "top leader" of Huaxi Village, and Wu Renbao handed over all the party and government seals of Huaxi Village to this son-in-law of the Sun family who "inverted the door" two years ago.The "new head" of Huaxi Village still remembers what happened back then: "As far as I can remember, my father always worked hard and sweated on the front line. One of the words he kept saying was 'When you are an official, you should think about the people'. Over the past few decades, I have only been by his side for ten years. When he gave me to the Sun family as a son, it was also the day my father spent the longest time with me in his life. I still remember that he told me repeatedly, saying that you From now on, there are two mothers and mothers, and the first one you should respect and take good care of is the mother and father of the Sun family." Wu Xie'en did very well later, so when he was recommended to replace Wu Renbao as the "new head of the Huaxi Village" When it came to the "head of the door", it was unanimously approved by the villagers. The outside world who didn't know the inside story once complained about Wu Renbao's "handover" to his son.But the author has asked more than a dozen villagers of different levels in Huaxi Village, and they gave a few reasons impassionedly: 1. The old secretary did not use his authority when he "handed over the shift". votes, although it shows that you are very confident, but you should be more humble!" 2. Ah Si is young and promising, willing to endure hardships, good at management, good at management, less selfish, gentle and kind-hearted.Relying on his aggressiveness and ability, in just a few years, he created several "Huaxi" famous brands with billions of dollars in profit for Murakami; 3. The five sons and daughters who hold important positions in the village, they have made the greatest contribution in inheriting their father's career of "blessing the people, being an official", and wholeheartedly seeking happiness for the people, but they have made the most concessions in front of interests. Let's talk about Wu Renbao again, and let's talk about his "blessings for the people, and difficult officials". Wu Renbao is such a person. In his career as a "village official" for decades, he has focused his life pursuit on the goal of "making the people happy is my greatest satisfaction".In order to achieve this "satisfaction", he believes that he must take the responsibility of "being a difficult official" on himself. The "difficulty" here, I understand, may be the hardships of starting a business, or the risks of starting a business, or it may be the situation of facing and dealing with various non-positive factors after the success of starting a business.Among all the "elites" of Chinese peasants, Wu Renbao may be able to bear the most of this kind of "difficulty"—because he has been in power for the longest time; he is also the wisest and smartest person to resolve this "difficulty"— ——Almost no "typical" and "elite" can survive decades like him, and the red flag has been flying in the wind; of course, he is also the greatest success and harvester in the face of such "difficulties"—he has created an indisputable "The first village in the world". Today's Huaxi Village, whether it is the party and state leaders, or ordinary people who came to visit, or foreign heads of state and dignitaries, people praise it with one voice.The focus of this praise will naturally be attributed to Wu Renbao, who created this miracle at the helm.However, people don't all know the great effort Wu Renbao has put in for it and the "difficult" things he has experienced... ——In the early days of his business, his reputation as a "devil brigade" almost broke the marriage of a generation of young people in Huaxi. Back to Xinhua West; ——The ambition of "a field with tons of grain per mu" has been drawn into a caricature, and big-character posters of "Blowing Brigade" and "Blowing Secretary" are plastered all over the village.It was he and the masses who piled up golden valleys and mountains with sweat and tears to blow away the "evil wind"; ——During the "Cultural Revolution", there was a trend of changing place names with local characteristics into politically colored place names such as "Oriental", "Red Flag", and "Victory".Someone came to Wu Renbao and said that you Huaxi is an old model, and you have to change the name of the brigade, not to mention that your Huaxi brigade still has the word "Xi" in its name.At that time, "West" was the West, and it was the color of capitalism, which must be changed.Wu Renbao shook his head and said, I will not change it. I was the one who named Huaxi, but it has nothing to do with Western capitalism.The west of our Huaxi refers to the fact that our village is located in the west of Huashi Town, so it is called Huaxi. "Now Huaxi's brand intangible assets are worth at least hundreds of millions or billions. If they had changed the name of the village back then, the brand of Huaxi Village would not be so valuable today!" Wu Renbao said. ——Secretary of the county party committee for five years, when he worked hard to bring Jiangyin to the "second child" of the top 100 counties in the country, his political career fell into a trough because of the inertia of "peasant political stars falling one after another", Be a farmer again.Wu Renbao smiled lightly at this, just as he couldn't do without Huaxi, and Huaxi couldn't do without him. Wu Renbao has another injustice. In 1999, when he was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, he offended the egotistical cadres in certain areas of the province because he supported the establishment of several "Huaxi Villages" in impoverished areas in other provinces. He once again lost the honor that should belong to him—— This time Wu Renbao smiled even more: I am over 70 years old, and it is my greatest honor to dedicate my life to the people of West China. In ancient and modern China and abroad, the elites who can become a generation of great figures all have transcendent realms and firm beliefs.As a peasant statesman, thinker and practitioner, Wu Renbao's transcendent realm comes from the spiritual power he gained after creating happiness and prosperity for the people; his firm belief comes from his deep understanding of China's rural conditions and The understanding of the bright future expected by Chinese farmers: The cornerstone of all those in power is the support and support of the people, and this is the most valuable and reliable. Wu Renbao deserves to be a national treasure.The governing philosophy he summed up based on his vicissitudes of life - "Blessed people enjoy it, and difficult officials should be elected", reflects the selfless and fearless mind of a Communist. Huaxi is rich today, but Huaxi's success is by no means a gift from God, let alone smooth sailing.If it is said that the reason why Huaxi did not experience ups and downs like the typical agricultural models of Dazhai and Daqiuzhuang, there is an unshakable and undeniable fact that Wu Renbao, the leader of Huaxi Village, has more than the above two typical main leaders. In addition to his higher political resourcefulness, he has a deeper understanding of the positions of "officials" and the people than others in his inner world-in Wu Renbao's eyes, the people are the main priority at all times. He is thus invincible.Therefore, he became a great man with a taste of earth walking from the ridge of the field. The "difficulties" in Huaxi Village are no less than others.People in the media and the public often see Wu Renbao as very chic. In fact, when you walk into Wu Renbao’s world patiently, you will find that he has more “difficulties” than anyone else—the wrinkles on his face are the witnesses, but these wrinkles are ultimately the result of Brilliant smiles bloomed to people... Before the age of 60, Wu Renbao worked more than 16 or 17 hours a day. Now that he is nearly 80 years old, he still works 14 or 15 hours a day.In his own words, "It is difficult for a person to live to be 100 years old, but he can work for the people for 100 years." Someone calculated for Wu Renbao that he worked 8 hours a day, plus he never had holidays. On rest days, Wu Renbao has actually been working for more than 100 years. Huaxi people have indescribable admiration for the dedication of the old secretary, but what they admire more sincerely is the lofty ideological realm of the Communists he showed when Huaxi was in trouble. The old villagers still remember that the joint venture with a woolen sweater factory in Suzhou has been suffering from losses for many years, and it became a "heartache" for Huaxi people for a while, and it seemed that no one could do anything about it.The villagers and cadres stared at the old party secretary. "I'll take care of this matter!" After the nearly 70-year-old man took on this heavy burden, he got up early every day in the dark.Sometimes, in order to solve a difficult problem, Wu Renbao, who got up in the middle of the night, would smoke for several hours in a row, so anxious that his wife didn't know what to do. "Get rich in silence", this is one of the tricks for people in southern Jiangsu to get rich.And Wu Renbao said frankly: There are often turbulent waves in this "dull sound". In the late 1990s, the development of Huaxi Village was booming.A bigger and grand vision began to be brewed among the younger generation of managers of Huaxi Village—— "Old Secretary, our Huaxi Village should focus on superior enterprises and strive to go public!" Wu Xiedong, who was in charge of Huaxi Industrial Production at that time, was the eldest son of the old secretary who raised this question to Wu Renbao. Wu Renbao's eyes widened, with rare doubts in his eyes, staring at his eldest son and other village officials: "Have you argued?" "It has been demonstrated. Based on the current status and future development of our Huaxi Village enterprise, going public is the only way to go." "Oh? The only way to go? But we are a village-run enterprise, and we are still far from modern large enterprises in many aspects." "Through going public, we can just promote the improvement of our enterprise in this respect." Wu Renbao glanced up at his subordinates, they were all younger than him. "I——consider it." Wu Renbao frowned, got up solemnly and left the village officials. "It's broken, the old party secretary is against our going public!" Someone became anxious. "Don't be afraid, let's prepare more arguments and reasons for listing, and then we can explain it to him when we formally discuss it!" It was Wu Xiedong who said this. A few days later, the vote on the listing decision began.There were a total of 12 people at home at that time, and the "top leader" Wu Renbao attended the meeting as scheduled.The meeting place was very serious, because the village cadres knew in advance that the attitude of the old party secretary who had always set things apart was still the same. Voting results: 11 people raised their hands in favor, and 1 person opposed—the opponent was none other than Wu Renbao. The minority obeys the majority.Huaxi Village has always been like this.But the old party secretary's objection was very important. No matter what the reasons were for the cadres' consideration, they still wanted to hear what his objection was. "Huaxi Village has a status in the hearts of the people of the country. We must do three things when we go public: shareholders are satisfied, villagers are satisfied, and the brand of Huaxi Village cannot be smashed. Now you say, I listen..." Wu Renbao lit a cigarette with a serious face Staring at the cadres. The venue was silent for a while.After a long while, someone finally took the lead to speak: "Okay, let's talk about the benefits and reasons for going public." As a result, with one word or another, a debate about "listing" was heated up in the Jinta meeting room of Huaxi Village, and it lasted for several hours. "Old Secretary, it's time to listen to your opinion!" At the end, all the cadres turned their attention to Wu Renbao. At this moment, Wu Renbao changed his serious expression just now, and resumed his usual smiling expression: "First of all, I want to explain: I have been opposing the listing these days, but it is not my original intention. My true thoughts Yes: Huaxi’s enterprises are industries run by our peasants. Whether they can integrate into the same track with those large enterprises listed on the market and have greater development is what I am most concerned about. When deciding on such a major event as listing, I think I heard everyone's real opinions, so I used the method of voting against to try to get more arguments from you on the listing, and now my goal has been achieved. I declare: Huaxi Enterprises must really go out of the field-listing! " Heh, look at Wu Renbao, his "objection" is also to gain more reasons for his approval! August 10, 1999 is of historical significance to Huaxi Village.At the moment when applause and bells rang through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the world financial market ushered in a new guest who made 1 billion Chinese farmers proud.The stock of Huaxi Village with the code "000936" was successfully listed. The listing price of 35 million shares was 8.3 yuan, and it rose to 21 yuan at the close of the day! Going public is a happy event rather than a difficult one, but a poor listing may be the biggest difficulty.Wu Renbao said frankly in the future: In the face of some difficult and risky tasks, a leader must have the courage to take on them. This is the minimum quality for a communist to be able to seek happiness and prosperity for the people. 2003 was another historic moment for Huaxi Village. On the "July 1st" party founding day, Huaxi Village held the sixth village party congress. Wu Renbao proposed that he leave the position of "top leader" in Huaxi Village for 48 years to a 39-year-old young man, and he retired To the "second in command" position of the deputy secretary of the village party committee and the deputy general manager of the group company. The abdication of the village party secretary, the lowest official in China, has triggered hundreds of media reports at home and abroad.There are two problems at this juncture: First, Chinese officials are generally only promoted but not demoted, especially the "top leader" rarely voluntarily retreats to the "second leader" position.Wu Renbao himself said: "This is another kind of 'difficult to be an official'. I said earlier that I would work until I was 80 years old. But in 2003, the situation in Huaxi Village was very good, and I came to a torrent. One is to hope that I am not here. Hand over power when you are confused, and the second is to break the precedent that the "top leader" cannot be resigned as the "second leader". I have worked in Huaxi Village for 48 years, and the masses will have eyes without building a monument by myself. Usually , as long as I don't give up, I may be able to work in the position of 'top leader' until the moment I close my eyes. But this is actually leaving a big difficulty for future generations and the cause of the entire Huaxi Village. For a possible For a person with innumerable achievements, whether he can consciously and sincerely solve such a difficult problem by himself is actually a test of the complete selflessness of our communists." In his later years, Wu Renbao once again used his own actions to let people appreciate the lofty mind of an old Communist.When explaining his "why he didn't retire completely", Wu Renbao once again stated: "I am in good health and have more experience. Huaxi Village is now in a period of rapid development step by step. As an old party member, a fellow with Huaxi As an old villager who shares the fate of the village, I still want to do what I can for the people.” This is Wu Renbao. A 78-year-old old man, he is still responsible for everything that can be done in the village. Wu Renbao, the "second in command", did two things after taking office in the new team of the village party committee. One is to suggest that the "top leader" lead all the new team members to take an oath to the revolutionary martyrs in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes on the occasion of the meeting in the capital. "Revolutionary martyrs, for the cause of communism, their heads can be broken and their blood can be shed. We will build a better socialist new West China, and now we must start from the beginning... Blessings will be enjoyed by the people, and there will be difficult officials! Strive to sprint to 10 billion this year and win 20 billion next year! After three years of hard work, we will get 5 billion available funds!" On the sunny Tiananmen Square, Wu Renbao once again stood in front of the Huaxi village cadres, raised his right fist high, and demonstrated with the determination of a Communist Party member. Faith, leading the young leaders of Huaxi Village, sounded the battle horn of the new era. Careful readers should not forget the tragic scene in the rain that Wu Renbao led a hundred village cadres to swear an oath in the rain on Nanjing Yuhuatai after resigning from the post of county party secretary.Today's oath in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square is incomparable to the oath made 18 years ago.At this time, Huaxi, in the words of a central leader, was "extremely good", but Wu Renbao didn't think so. When others were singing "Big Huaxi", he proposed "now Huaxi should be small" idea. This is the second "difficult" thing he did after becoming the "second in command". "Our country has joined the WTO, and the adjustment of industrial structure is imperative and imminent. If we want to seize the opportunity and go to the next level, the most important thing right now is to master the 'three-vehicle principle'." At the team meeting, young new members Gathered in front of the old secretary and listened to his ingenious plan: "These 'three vehicles' are: the existing enterprises must drive steadily - drive at full speed and pay close attention to profitability; the new projects that have been invested must be driven fast and put into production early; Hurry up and put the brakes on the project on it.” "Is it that serious?" "The old secretary is right. When did his decision go wrong?" Wu Renbao waved his hand: "Wrong, it's not my wisdom, it's the wisdom of the central government's policy. Just watch it, in a few months, the central government's macro adjustment will be introduced." Sure enough, following Wu Renbao's suggestion, Huaxi quickly made major adjustments to the "three-vehicle strategy" of the group companies. In November of this year, the central government's macro adjustment policy was introduced. , There has been a passive situation of comprehensive recession.However, the industrial enterprises in Huaxi Village did not have any negative effects due to the central macro-adjustment because they started early. The economic benefits of that year rose rapidly, greatly surpassing the target of 6 billion yuan for the village's total industrial output value in 2003 set at the beginning of the year, reaching 10 billion yuan for the first time.And it was Wu Renbao who was able to face difficulties bravely at a major historical turning point and overcome them with resourcefulness, which made Huaxi Village's development speed increase by an annual increase of 10 billion yuan in the past two years. In 1985, Wu Renbao led a hundred villagers to take an oath in front of Nanjing Yuhuatai to "fight hard for three years, with a target of 100 million yuan".Today, the annual economic benefits of Huaxi Village are two to three hundred times that of those years!That is to say, today's Huaxi Village is creating more than 100 new Huaxi villages every year! It is precisely through such accumulation that Huaxi Village has the happiness and wealth that the world envies today.It is precisely because of the happiness and wealth of the people in Huaxi Village that when Wu Renbao was interviewed by the media, he was able to frankly face the question of whether there was his Wu family system in Huaxi Village, and answered this way: "Indeed, in Huaxi Village, 25个正副书记中有我吴仁宝家5个子女。但我想告诉大家的是：他们能当书记不是我的指定，他们都是通过数十年的工作，是在取得群众公认基础上，又经过党代会选举和上级组织考察批准后才当上书记的。不错，我吴仁宝家的子女确实在华西村都是官，但他们不是为我吴仁宝家做官，而是为华西村百姓在做官。有人曾经怀疑华西村那么大的家底，是不是都掌在我吴家的手里，恰恰相反，在华西村的历史上先后有6个人当过主办会计，但没有一个是我吴仁宝家的。华西村从1961年到现在的45年账目，都可以公开给世人看。可以这么说，如果在华西村有我吴仁宝这个家族的概念，那么我想告诉大家的是：吴仁宝家的人都在为华西村的百姓做事，他们以自己的党员身份，在不断实践共产党员先进性中为自己的乡亲们贡献着每一天、创造着每一份财富。华西村有今天，与我家的这些子女们的心血和汗水分不开。我想，假如中国有更多的像我吴仁宝这样愿意而且能够给百姓带来幸福和富裕的家族的话，我们全中国的百姓日子一定会比现在好得多。我也因此会感到无比欣慰。” 吴仁宝的这段话是在中央电视台《新闻会客厅》中说的，他能面对13亿中国人这样不加掩饰地袒露心声，没有共产党人那种光明磊落、无私坦荡的足够底气是绝对做不到的。 有一位参观华西村的外地农村干部在惊叹这儿的百姓与干部那么融洽团结奔富裕的景象后，找到吴仁宝，问他“为什么你这儿这么好，我们那里就搞不好”时，吴仁宝反问：“你当了几年村支书？”对方回答：“3年。”吴仁宝笑，说：“如果你当满跟我一样48年的书记，你那儿也一定很不错的。” 是啊，在人民当家做主的天下，假如一个领导者能在岗位上像吴仁宝一样执政近半个世纪，如果无所作为，如果不能为百姓谋幸福，相信他无法主政如此长久的时间。Wu Renbao said it well: "The party members and cadres of our Huaxi village have insisted for several years that "the people enjoy the blessings, and the officials who are difficult" actually reflect the principle of "the power is for the people, the love is for the people, and the benefits are for the people." The idea of ​​building the party for the public and governing for the people. Party members and cadres can overcome difficulties and work hard before the people, enjoy and enjoy the benefits of the people, and the people will stand with us and shoulder the burden with one heart and one mind. So what All kinds of human miracles are possible.” 看一看华西村今天如天堂般的农民乐园，我们就会真切地感受到创造这个人间奇迹的原动力是什么了。
