When it comes to Zunhua, Hebei, everyone will definitely think of Qing Eastern Tombs . Indeed, Zunhua , the Feng Shui treasure land buried Qing Dynasty Shunzhi, Kangxi , Qianlong, Xianfeng and Tongzhi , as well as a total of five emperors, as well as the Empress's Tomb, the Concubine's Orchard and many accompanying tombs. In fact, in the 1950s, there was also a national agricultural worker model . He was re-elected as a member of the Central Committee for three terms, and he was Wang Guofan.
1919, Wang Guofan was born in Xisishilipu Village, Zunhua County, Hebei Province. In his early years, he participated in the local anti-Japanese armed forces led by our party and joined our party in 1941. Under the leadership of our party, he not only drove the Japanese invaders out of China, but Wang Guofan also witnessed the birth of a great country, which is . The People's Republic of China .
After the founding of New China, in order to consolidate the new people's regime, the Central People's Government promulgated the " Land Reform Law ", confiscating the landlords' land and distributing it to farmers who have no land or little land to cultivate. At the same time, the government gave the landlords what they deserved, so that they could support themselves. Under the promotion of the Party Central Committee, my country's agricultural production was restored and developed, opening up the road for the industrialization of the New China.
At that time, my country's agricultural production was operated in a decentralized manner. Some farmers lacked production tools, were difficult to solve water conservancy problems, could not use advanced mechanized agricultural tools, and agricultural products could not meet the needs of national industrialization. Therefore, the country decided to learn from the experience of the Soviet Union, establish mutual aid groups and collaborators, carry out socialist transformation, and take the path of collectivization and common prosperity.
Wang Guofan's "poor stick" cooperative set a typical example for farmers across the country, and was hailed by Chairman Mao Zedong as the "image of the entire country."
1952, Wang Guofan led 23 poor farmers to run the "poor stick" cooperative with only three donkey legs. One donkey in this cooperative had "three donkey legs in the collective and one donkey leg in the individual". At that time, the farmers such as Wang Guofan were very poor and had no start-up funds, so Wang Guofan led the farmers to the mountain to chop firewood, exchanged more than 500 yuan, purchased some production tools, and then led everyone to devote themselves to the vigorous production.
Under the leadership of Wang Guofan, everyone was enthusiastic about their work and achieved a great harvest that year. Not only did they solve the problem of food and clothing for the members of the cooperative, but they also handed over a lot of harvest to the country. Other farmers were envious when they saw it and applied to join the cooperative.
In addition, many media also reported on Wang Guofan. For a while, Wang Guofan became a sensational figure in the country.
In 1957, Wang Guofan was elected as the first national agricultural worker model. This year he was invited to Beijing and was received by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. As his fame increased greatly, Wang Guofan's status was also rising. In In 1969, Wang Guofan attended the "Ninth National Congress" of the Party and was elected as a member of the Central Committee. He was re-elected as a member of the 10th and 11th Central Committee.
According to relevant statistics, from 1957 to 1970, Wang Guofan was received by Chairman Mao in Beijing 10 times, and he also visited the Soviet Union, Syria , Pakistan and other countries with the Chinese delegation.
However, during the special period of ten years, Wang Guofan was also involved in the wave of the times, making many mistakes, and had a bad impact on society. In 1978, the dark clouds that once shrouded over the motherland had dissipated. In , Wang Guofan was removed from all positions and returned to his hometown Xipu Village to farm.
In view of Wang Guofan's good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, he still gave him a lot of care and asked him to serve as an advisor to Zunhua County Water Conservancy Bureau. On July 30, 2005, Wang Guofan died of illness at the age of 86.
For Wang Guofan, in the 1950s, he provided a brand new production model for farmers and was fully recognized by Chairman Mao. However, as time went by, this production model no longer conformed to the trend of the times. In addition, Wang Guofan himself made some mistakes during the ten-year turbulent period, so he was inevitably abandoned by the times.
Practice has proved that Deng Gong’s family contract responsibility system provides farmers with a new model, promotes the continued development of social productivity, and maximizes the production enthusiasm of farmers. Countless farmers have bid farewell to poverty and backwardness and ushered in today’s happy life. Here, I would like to pay tribute to Deng Gong!
