On August 31, 2022, a famous reporter from Nanyang and former vice president and editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency , Mr. Feng Jian , passed away in Beijing at the age of 97. In this life, he has been working on the front line of news and propaganda for a long time, and has been responsible for major reports many times, making important contributions to the party's news cause. Among them, the long newsletter "The Model of County Party Secretary Jiao Yulu" and "The People Call Jiao Yulu" written in cooperation with Mu Qing and Zhou Yuan are still regarded as classics.
The news of Mr. Feng Jian’s death reached his hometown, and Henan media posted a message to part with him, and many relatives and friends forwarded the memory of their old friends. Fan Wen, secretary of the Party Branch of Tianzhuang Village, Shangzhuang Township, Xinye County, my hometown, once felt sad at the memorial service: "Last year I heard that the old man was very tough, but I never had the chance to go home and see him again."
Everyone in my hometown was kind They are not unfamiliar with this fellow villager when they call Feng Jian the "old man". His exhibition hall is standing in the village. Whenever he misses him, he will go in and take a look. In fact, after leaving home to study and work at the age of 21, the situation has changed and the world is turbulent, and the old man has never come back.
But this does not prevent people from missing him. The old man who is a reporter was in front of the manuscript of the General Administration of Names; the old man has been a reporter for half his life, but he wrote his name in people's hearts and on the earth.
"Fengjian" is the name
Mr. Feng Jian was born in 1925 and his original name is Fan Xuyi. "Feng Jian" is the name he used when he participated in the underground organization of the Communist Party of China when he was studying at Nanjing National Central University in 1948, which means "Feng Jian". After graduating from university, he was appointed by the Nanjing underground party organization to teach at Caishiji Town Middle School in Anhui Province, and carried out party work at the same time. In 1948, the Kuomintang Nanjing government arrested Communist Party members, progressive people and progressive students on a large scale. Fan Wen once said that there is still a wanted order with the name "Fan Xuyi" written on it in the village.
In the same year, after studying at Zhongyuan University in the liberated area of western Henan for more than a month, Feng Jian came to the newly established Kaifeng Branch of Xinhua News Agency and began his journalism career.
In early 1951, Feng Jian was transferred to the Xinhua News Agency Central South Branch in Wuhan, Hubei, mainly engaged in financial reporting. In the autumn of 1958, Feng Jian was transferred from Wuhan to the Beijing Xinhua News Agency and engaged in industrial reporting at home. From 1972 to 1982, Feng Jian served as deputy head of the domestic industrial and financial group of Xinhua News Agency and deputy director of the domestic news department. In April 1982, he served as deputy president of Xinhua News Agency, deputy secretary of the Party Group and editor-in-chief. In March 1986, Feng Jian resigned from his leadership position in Xinhua News Agency and officially retired in 1988.
In the nearly half century of journalism career, Feng Jian’s many news works have become well-received famous works in the industry, influencing generations of Chinese people. While speaking as a scholar, the old man also acted as a model in the world. His rigorous and meticulous work style and enterprising career pursuit have infected and educated countless juniors in the journalism industry.
Now, the elderly in Tianzhuang Village can still talk about many old stories about Fan Xuyi's family. After that stormy era, the old man has been writing all his life. When the dark clouds are pressing against each other, he rises up and turns his pen to the sword. When he sees the clouds, he will sing and sing praises to the times in the future, and he is worthy of the name of "sharp sword".
People's Thoughts
Mu Qing, Feng Jian and Zhou Yuan are three fellow villagers in Xinhua News Agency, and are known as the "Three Musketeers of Henan". The reason is that the three of them have returned to their hometown in Henan many times and have written many famous articles together.
The most famous one is "The role model of the county party secretary - Jiao Yulu". The three of them were crying and changing their manuscripts seven times. The lines were full of respect for the secretary and love for the people.
Mr. Feng Jian once shared his experience in writing this masterpiece while having a discussion with young and middle-aged journalists from Xinhua News Agency Henan Branch. He said that our job is to serve the people of , not to serve any individual. "When we wrote about Jiao Yulu, we deeply felt from the bottom of our hearts that the people of Lankao love their county party secretary very much. This made us deeply educated and caused great waves in our hearts. Without this feeling, we would not be able to grasp this model. Only Only by being closely connected with the people can you resonate emotionally with the achievements created by workers, farmers and scientists, and write well and touchingly."
With this feeling, in 1990, when the land of Lankao, which was rampant in the past, became a beautiful scenery of Paulownia , and rolling wheat waves, the "Three Musketeers" went to Henan again. Response At that time, they improved the style of cadres, strengthened the ideological construction of the Party and the trend of the times in party style construction, and they jointly wrote another classic work - "The People Called for Jiao Yulu". At that time, Zhou Yuan, the youngest of the three, had already been 62 years old, Feng Jian 65 years old, and Mu Qing 69 years old.
In fact, the "Three Musketeers"'s affectionate gaze for their hometown has never stopped. In 1993, they returned to Henan for an interview and investigation. In more than a month, three elderly people walked all over More than 20 cities and counties in Henan Province have had heart-to-heart talks with grassroots cadres and the masses, and wrote "The Tide of the Tide" and "Driving the Scalper to the Well-off Society"; in 1995, Mu Qing and Feng Jian visited Jiaozuo , Luoyang and Zhengzhou again. , writing "The Golden Triangle of the Central Plains"... These news with soil and dewdrops have been widely praised, influenced an era, and are also good teaching materials for generations of news generations. "We must have a real mission to society Feeling a sense of responsibility, taking the cause of the country and the people as your duty, and you must have deep feelings for the people. "Mr. Feng Jian once taught his younger generations in this way, "As a journalist, you must have many aspects of cultivation, but I think these are the most fundamental and important. "
Jin Jutai Before retirement, he worked in " Kaifeng Daily ". He met Mr. Feng Jian twice, but he remembered it for life. "I can't forget now that Mr. Feng told me how he worked in Kaifeng in . . "He said that Mr. Feng was first involved in news work here, and when he heard that there were no good clues, "he walked over with his feet." The conditions were difficult, and there was no fountain pen, so he used a "dipping pen tip" to put sorghum stalks on it, and the same Writing continuously.
Until Mr. Feng retired, his enthusiasm and sincerity for the people's news continued. In Mr. Feng's office, Jin Jutai once saw an old man hanging on the wall in his sixties and encouragement short poem : "I'm a chaotic man In my zodiac year, the spring ox is diligent in plowing the fields. Time flies for 20,000 days, and it is a proverb to realize that seeking truth. "
The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their old age and have ambitions. Now that Mr. Feng Jian has passed away, Mu Qing and Zhou Yuan have passed away in 2003 and 2011. The "Three Musketeers of Henan" have become a frightening sound, but "always think about the party The teachings of "rooted in the fertile soil of the people" nourish countless later generations.
Friends of the Homeland
The old man is named "Sword of the Sword", but the sharper he is against the enemy, the gentler his relatives of the Homeland .
Anyone who has dealt with the old man has a deep feeling.
In 2014, three reporters from " Nanyang Evening News " Li Ping, Liu Na and Wang Lin went to Beijing for an interview due to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. After getting off the train, the three of them looked around at the huge station, and were confused. Li Ping, who led the team, only had a landline number from Mr. Feng Jian's house, but Mr. Feng was once the editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency and did not contact him in advance , Will he accept interviews with a few unfamiliar local newspaper reporters?
was nervous, and Li Ping called. "When the old man heard that we were from Nanyang, he immediately informed us of the address in detail and asked us to go home. "Li Ping said, and only then did she react after hanging up the phone. She was in a panic just now and even forgot to inform the old man of the name of the introducer. During the interview with
, the old man was extremely enthusiastic, and he knew everything and said nothing. Recalling the "official talk" in my hometown. Before leaving, Li Ping and the other two entered the elevator. The old man blocked the elevator door with half of his body and told him how to go back to the nearest road. After returning to his residence, Li Ping and the others were I realized that I was coming to the door rashly, but my hands were empty, and I didn’t even bring a specialty from my hometown to the old man. “The three of us are upset about this matter. But this regret can no longer be made up. "Li Ping said.
This experience also reminded Li Ping of another old story: In 2012, a reporter from Nanyang Daily planned to write the history of the Central Plains disaster in 1942. Due to insufficient information, he asked Feng Jian for help. Soon, Feng Jian gave it to him. The editorial office of Nanyang Daily sent a letter and related information. The letter and the article interviewed by the reporter were later published together on the front page of the "Social Morning Publication" of Nanyang Daily on December 5, 2012, causing a great response. .
In 2013, Yuan Haidong, a teacher at Nanyang No. 10 Middle School, visited 96 elderly people. It took 7 years to write the book "Tongwadian, Famous Town, Zhongzhou". The manuscript was first completed and I gave it to an old senior to give advice. Unexpectedly, when the old senior returned the manuscript, he also brought "unexpected surprises". "Mr. Feng Jian accidentally learned about this from his fellow villager and even took the initiative to ask for a manuscript." Yuan Haidong said that when the old man went to school as a child, the Tongwa Store was the only way to go. Now, when he heard that it was written, he was very happy and wrote a poem. Yuan Haidong wrote down the title of the book.
By 2019, the old man's health was getting worse and worse. That year, a high-speed rail was opened in Nanyang, and a fellow villager immediately rushed to the old man's house to report the good news.
"Old sir, our family has a high-speed rail. It takes only four and a half hours to return to Nanyang in Beijing!" said the young man.
At that moment, the old man's tears were almost bursting out.
But he is still calm and restrained.
"It's so good, it's good to use the high-speed rail!" said the old man, "It's a pity that I don't have the strength to sit."
...
Looking back at Mr. Feng Jian's people and things, we can always get endless warmth and strength from it.
No one can aspire to the wise before moving forward. The old man will last forever!
