In 1952, the writer Liu Qing came from Beijing to Huangfu Village, Wangqu Commune, Chang'an County, Xi'an City. He lived there for 14 years and wrote the literary masterpiece " Entrepreneurship History HTML ". In June 1978, Liu Qing died of illness in Beijing. His ashes were divided into two parts, and half of them were buried here with his wife Ma Wei.

　　"Uncle Liu Qing and Aunt Ma Wei, don't bother me..." On August 15, Liu Tianmin, 77, stood in front of the tomb, muttering to himself while wiping the tombstone.

　　For decades, Liu Tianmin's original intention has remained unchanged. He insisted on cleaning and planting trees here. Whenever he met a visitor, he would use a strong Guanzhong dialect to tell the story of "Liu Qingbo" in his mind.

"Pay 9 years of tuition for me"

Liu Tianmin is the prototype of the Tsai Wa in "History of Entrepreneurship", and is also the only survivor of the character prototype in the novel. "My Uncle Liu Qing is a great man. He is very kind to me and my father and son with all his heart!" When talking to reporters, Liu Tianmin choked up several times.

Liu Tianmin lost his mother when he was young and depended on his father for life. When Liu Qing moved in, he was only 6 years old. His father Liu Yuanfeng was both a father and a mother, and he was also busy with the affairs of the village. Liu Qing and his wife took good care of their father and son.

　　In Liu Tianmin's memory, Liu Qing was not tall and always had a smile on her face. Regarding Liu Qing, Liu Tianmin has gained a lot of "first time": his first time watching a movie, his first time raising a pet...

　　"Liu Qing's wife Ma Wei is very good to me." Liu Tianmin said that no matter when he goes to Liu Qing's house to play, Aunt Ma Wei will pack steamed buns, pick some ripe fruits in the yard, and take them back when he leaves.

　Once, Liu Tianmin got sick and had a fever. Aunt Ma Wei not only took him to see a doctor, but also bought him some gadgets.

　　After decades of guarding the tomb, someone asked Liu Tianmin "why". He said, "I have been to school for a total of 9 years, and the tuition fees were paid by Uncle Liu Qing. Isn't this kind of kindness enough?"

　　June 13, 1978, Liu Qing passed away. The next day, Liu Tianmin and Liu Yuanfeng, who were planting rice seedlings in the field, heard the news on the village radio and rushed to the village desperately with tears in their eyes.

　　In the first two years after Liu Qing's death, his tomb in Huangfu Village has been guarded by Wang Jiabin, the prototype of Liang Shengbao, the main character in "History of Entrepreneurship", and his father Liu Yuanfeng. Wang Jiabin passed away on June 13, 1990. Before his death, he held Liu Tianmin's hand and told him to "Be sure to take good care of Liu Qing's tomb."

became a real gravekeeper

tomb sweeping, weeding, and driving livestock... In 1996, Liu Tianmin gave up his work in the city and returned to the village to concentrate on guarding the tomb. "I feel at ease when I come back. Guarding my home, guarding my relatives, guarding my tomb, this is what I want to do," he said.

　　Decades have passed, and the pine trees, cypress trees and willow trees in the cemetery have grown from seedlings to big trees, and Liu Tianmin has accompanied them from young men to seventy-year-olds. Under the care of party committees and governments at all levels, the cemetery has expanded from the initial three-part land to the current 1.8 acres. "Gravekeeper" Liu Tianmin witnessed the inheritance of Liu Qing's spirit.

Liu Qing is a model for literary and artistic workers who are rooted in the grassroots fertile land. Liu Tianmin said that Liu Qing has 7 children, plus two nephews and Aunt Ma Wei's sisters, and the family is often more than a dozen people. He often drinks corn and eats wild vegetables. He lives a hard life, but he is not stingy with villagers and foreign friends. Luyao I have visited Liu Qing many times to discuss literature. Each time I stayed for one week to half a month. Liu Qing not only included food and accommodation, but also included Lu Yao’s purchase of information and travel expenses for round trips.

　　For many years, as long as someone comes to visit, Liu Tianmin walked two miles to greet him.

　　Liu Tianmin has received countless people who came to pay his respects, including He Jingzhi who left the poem "The elders' hearts are thousands of feet long, and the spring breeze talks about Liu Qing everywhere", Zhou Ming who evaluates "The people's Liu Qing, the immortal Liu Qing", Chen Zhongshi , Jia Pingwa and others in "Literature Shaanxi Army ", and countless ordinary people who respect Liu Qing.

"No money spent on the public"

In the new era, Liu Qing's spirit has been further carried forward.

　　A few years ago, Liu Qing’s former residence was rebuilt, and more and more people came to the former residence, and Liu Tianmin volunteered to take on the work of the former residence tour guide.

　　Every time I received an explanation, Liu Tianmin always dressed neatly in advance, put the party emblem on his chest, and rode a small electric motor to welcome him. When the visitor had the largest flow of people, he gave voluntary explanations 13 times a day.

　In order to tell the story of Liu Qing well, Liu Tianmin read many books related to Liu Qing, and asked his children and grandchildren to help search and check the materials on their mobile phones, and printed them out one by one, and supplement the new content in time to explain.

　　The granddaughter is on vacation during the summer vacation, and Liu Tianmin often takes his granddaughter to Liuqing's former residence. It was hot summer, and the granddaughter wanted to drink the mineral water prepared for visitors in her former residence. Liu Tianmin refused to let him take out the boiled water he brought from his home for his granddaughter to drink.

　A visitor suggested that Liu Tianmin install a fan in Liuqing's former residence to avoid heatstroke when he explained in summer. He said: "My uncle Liu Qing has been clear about public and private life. I am an old party member with 55 years of party membership. I am a voluntary explanation that I don't spend a penny on the public, and the electricity bill is also money!"
