Many young people may not know about Yu Zuomin now, but in the 1980s and 1990s, Yu Zuomin was a sensible figure. As a genuine farmer, he had no culture, but he had the courage and vision of ordinary people without stars. He led a poor and backward rural area to the ranks of the r

On October 3, 1999, a news of less than 100 words attracted people's attention: "The chairman of Jinghai Daqiuzhuang Enterprise Group, Yu Zuomin, died in prison at the age of 69."

Now, many young people may not know about Yu Zuomin, but in the 1980s and 1990s, Yu Zuomin was a sensational figure. As a genuine farmer, he had no culture, but he had the courage and vision of ordinary people without stars. He led a poor and backward rural area to the ranks of the richest village in the country and the first billion yuan village in the country.

But as the saying goes, the water will overflow, and the moon will be full, the moon will be in decline. Yu Zuomin, who reached the peak of his life, did not realize that he was in a very dangerous state. Instead, he tempted wildly on the verge of committing suicide. He eventually violated the party's discipline and national laws and was sent to prison. He fell from a national celebrity entrepreneur and became a prisoner despised by thousands of people.

We review and analyze Yu Zuomin's life path again. In fact, there can be many inspirations and lessons. Next, let us take a look at the life path of a generation of hero Yu Zuomin.

1. It will be woe to be crazy. The arrogant Yu Zuomin was sent to prison.

On April 15, 1993, the leaders of Jinghai County received a telegram from the city: "The city leaders invited Comrade Yu Zuomin to talk at 2:30 pm this afternoon. Please inform him to participate." After receiving the notice, the wise and concise Yu Zuomin immediately realized that something was wrong.

Just in case, he decided to bring a personal bodyguard and three close friends to the appointment. When the group drove to the gate of the city club, the security guard stopped them: "Only Yu Zuomin's car are allowed to enter, and everyone else will stay away!"

At this time, Yu Zuomin was already alert in his heart, but he had no choice but to follow the staff in step by step. After entering the room, it was not the city leaders who awaited him, but many fully armed police officers. They showed Yu Zuomin an detention certificate and , and criminally detained him in accordance with the law for criminal acts such as sheltering and hiding and obstructing judicial organs from performing official duties. At this point, this arrogant "manager" finally fell into the French Open.

So how did Yu Zuomin step by step toward this abyss that is endless? What kind of person is he?

2. Smart and capable, a miracle created by a farmer

In 1930, Yu Zuomin was born in a peasant family in Daqiuzhuang, Jinghai. His father's name was Yu Ziyou. Yu Zuomin had two older brothers, and later he had another younger brother. The four brothers followed his father to go down the field barefoot since childhood.

According to their own words, they are digging food in the soil for generations. Among the children at home, because Yu Zuomin is the smartest, his father saved money and sent him to a private school to study. What is shocking is that Yu Zuomin is like a genius and can read the knowledge in the school once.

The villagers of Daqiuzhuang explained from a superstitious perspective that Yu Zuomin's ancestral tomb has Ganoderma lucidum , so this child will definitely have a bright future in the future. The more everyone praised Yu Zuomin, the more frugal the Yu family's father saved and had to train his three sons into talents. In 1939, natural disasters and man-made wars continued, and a flood swept through Jinghai , causing a large number of people to disappear. Yu Ziyi never returned with the flood.

Losing the well and pillars of the family, Yu Zuomin's family's quality of life can be said to have plummeted. In that war-torn era, they had no meals after eating, and often needed help from relatives, friends and villagers everywhere. This difficult life did not defeat Yu Zuomin, but instead made him become extremely strong and firm in his personality. It was precisely the old saying that children of poor people were already in the family. Yu Zuomin is a hardworking worker everywhere, and he can barely eat a bite of food. However, in his 10s, he is just when he grows up. He is half a young man who eats poor , and he is very far from having enough.

After the liberation, Yu Zuomin's life changed. He was smart and capable, and was quickly recommended to go to school. During his time in school, Yu Zuomin cherished the rare learning opportunities, worked very hard in his studies, and had very good grades. He is also very flexible in mind, his legs and feet are also very light, and he is always very eye-catching, and is deeply loved by leaders and teachers.After the study of

, he took on very important job responsibilities in the village, buying a car and a mule to run transportation, dialing abacus answering and answering accounts, joining a cooperative, and personally taking on the village accountant. Today, these seem very simple, but if it were placed at that time, the ability to pull the account book alone had already made Yu Zuomin stand out in the village.

Because Yu Zuomin performed very well, he was deeply loved by his superiors and villagers. The superiors and villagers also took a fancy to his outstanding organization and coordination ability and unanimously elected him as a cadre in the village. After Yu Zuomin took office as a public office, he bought a blind and disabled female donkey in difficult times, breeding mules in the name of production, and tried every means to mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers and let everyone have a full meal.

Nowadays, many people think that eating a full meal is not a big deal. Nowadays, in order to lose weight, many people only eat one meal, or even eat vegetables but not meat. However, in the 1960s and 1970s, for ordinary rural villagers, eating a full meal was a dream of many people. Eating a full meal and a bite of meat was simply happier than the New Year. So Yu Zuomin was able to let the villagers have enough food at that time, which was indeed very strong at that time.

In 1974, Yu Zuomin began to serve as the party branch secretary of the village, and began his tortuous journey of building the "richest village". What made Yu Zuomin famous in one battle was to lead the villagers to fight against saline-alkali land. The place where Daeguzhuang was located was a beach in the past. Later, due to the Haihe entering the sea, it brought a lot of silt and sand, and gradually formed land. However, there were many

saline-alkali land on the land. The salt content of these saline-alkali lands is still very high, which affected the agricultural harvest. Many crops were unable to grow and harvest on saline-alkali land.

In this case, Yu Zuomin relied on all kinds of hard work and skillful work to start a war against saline-alkali land, and eventually reduced the salt content in saline-alkali land to a very low level. He could plant many crops and had a very good harvest. It can be said that he was a great success, so he won the praise of his leaders.

The reason why Yu Zuomin has many followers in the village is that Yu Zuomin did a great thing for the bachelors in the village. More than 200 bachelors in the village worked hard with Yu Zuomin and made some money. Their lives became more and more prosperous, and they soon got married. Many people now say that girls are more materialistic. The man must have a car, a house and a wealthy person before marrying the man. He will miss the 1960s and 1970s. The woman did not pay much attention to material conditions, and it doesn’t matter if her family is poor.

In fact, this view is completely wrong. In that era, the woman was still willing to marry a relatively good family. The man had money and food at home, which was still an important capital for talking about marriage. Because no one wants to be hungry, everyone wants to have a full meal and have a good meal. Not to mention that this is the most basic need and need of human beings, even animals are also the most basic and realistic need.

With the support and love of superiors, and with the strong support of villagers, especially some young and middle-aged villagers, Yu Zuomin began to lead Daqiuzhuang. He looked at the outside world and his slogan was: make money to make money outside.

1977, Yu Zuomin made a decision to take out the money from the village, hire retired employees of the state-owned steel mill, and open the first factory in the village, the Daqiuzhuang cold-rolled strip steel mill. As the first company was opened, all kinds of difficulties and pressure fell on his Yu Zuomin's shoulders, and the biggest difficulty was funds.

Loan, borrow money, and villagers raise money for themselves... Yu Zuomin obtained a total of 150,000 yuan as the original capital of the factory. With this money, I bought the first second-hand rolling mill in the village, and immediately started to imitate it, and produced two more. With equipment and factory buildings, three machines worked for a year, Daeguzhuang not only repaid all the debts, but also earned more than 300,000 yuan. Yu Zuomin, the "Yu Xiaogui Tutu", took the express train of industrial development.

From 1981, Daguzhuang obtained a huge profit of 1.08 million. Even if this money is placed in our current day, it is a huge sum of money.Yu Zuomin’s strategy is that companies are not afraid of small or soil, and how can they be big without small? Where can we get foreign without land? He advocated building many small businesses and not worrying about factory land. As we have more, large industries will naturally form.

It has to be said that Yu Zuomin had formulated a smooth road for the "richest village" he built. By 1991, the situation in Daeguzhuang was very good. There are fifteen large factories with a level of tens of millions, two high-end factories with a level of twenty millions, and one super-large factory with assets of over 100 million. The annual production output value of village enterprises has reached more than 600 million yuan, ranking first in the top ten top 100 Chinese enterprises, and Daqiuzhuang has become the veritable "richest village" in China.

3. Being proud, Yu Zuomin became the "local emperor"

Under the leadership of Yu Zuomin, Daeguzhuang not only developed excellent industrially, but also did not fall behind in the agricultural breeding industry and planting industry, and achieved good results. At this time, Daqiuzhuang was a role model for the country's townships to learn from. As the secretary of Daqiuzhuang, Yu Zuomin appeared in newspapers and magazines more than once.

Even CCTV's Spring Festival Gala invited him to participate as a representative of the "Top Ten Farmers and Entrepreneurs in the Country". Even foreign journalists and inspection teams came to Daqiuzhuang for inspection. Flowers are blooming and oil is cooked with fire. There are praises to Daqiu Village everywhere. Yu Zuomin, who is known as the owner of " No. 1 Village in the World, ", is worshipped by the villagers as a savior.

Under such a situation, Yu Zuomin completely expanded. After all, Yu Zuomin was a farmer and he did not receive a relatively systematic education. The reason why he was successful was that on the one hand, the country carried out the policy of reform and opening up. When the policy was just introduced, other places had not yet awakened in time and were still in a wait-and-see state. Yu Zuomin seized this window period. On the other hand, Yu Zuomin does have the ability and level of being brave to think and do, but this is just his ability to do things and start businesses. He has not kept up with his pace of creating economic value in moral cultivation and the shaping of outlook on life values ​​and world outlook.

"Without me, Yu Zuomin, there would be no Daqiuzhuang today!" Yu Zuomin, lost in the flowers and praise, gradually lost his true heart and regarded Daqiuzhuang as his private asset, becoming arrogant and I am the only one. In the best three-story villa in the village, it is decorated in a magnificent manner. Yu Zuomin lives here and issues orders to the whole village. You must eat delicacies and wear high-end brands. You must have bodyguards who drive the road with four Mercedes-Benz cars. When you enter, you will have a dedicated person to serve you. You also need to have professional massages twice a day until he falls asleep.

He also organized 108 security teams, and beat him wherever he pointed, and obeyed him. In Daeguzhuang, Yu Zuomin's words are the highest instructions, and his relatives and friends can enjoy superior treatment. In 1990, Yu Zuomin's cousin's daughter complained that she was bullied by the furniture factory owner. Yu Zuomin directly took someone to strip the furniture factory owner Liu Yutian naked and beat him up. Liu Yutian was beaten to death on the spot, and Liu Yutian's family was forced to leave Daqiuzhuang.

In 1991, a major flood disaster occurred in the Yangtze River basin in my country, causing great casualties and economic losses. At that time, the whole country was actively organizing flood control and disaster relief, and relevant departments also called on powerful entrepreneurs to actively donate money and materials to support the reconstruction of the disaster area. As a star enterprise at that time, Daeguzhuang was very powerful, so the relevant departments also actively mobilized Daeguzhuang to donate money and materials to support the reconstruction of the disaster area and establish a good corporate image.

Originally, Daqiuzhuang pledged 1 million yuan, and knew that the purchasing power of 1 million yuan in 1991 was very large, equivalent to the purchasing power of about 100 million yuan now, because in 1991, most public officials only had about 100 yuan per month. Yu Zuomin later learned that the deputy mayor of the city in charge of this work was the leader who had an unpleasant experience with him. Because the city leader did not give him face and some of his personal demands were not approved by the city leader, Yu Zuomin held a grudge and felt that he would not give me the face of the star entrepreneur, so I would not give you face. He immediately ordered: No penny is allowed to donate.

Yu Zuomin at this time can be said to be a crazy test on the verge of death. As a farmer entrepreneur, no matter how capable or capable you are, you are just a rural entrepreneur in a township, and you are so crazy that you want to openly challenge a city leader at a deputy ministerial level. What's more, the city leader is also doing business and there is nothing wrong with it. Organizing corporate donations is also to show love, and Yu Zuomin should support it. But Yu Zuomin took revenge on his own, which shows that Yu Zuomin was really carried away to a certain stage at that time.

In December 1992, the general manager of BGI Group passed away. When Yu Zuomin checked the accounts of BGI Group, he found that there were financial problems, so he set up a private court to lead the thugs to fight against the suspect. Tian Yizheng, 61, was beaten to death, and Wei Fuhe, 26, was beaten for 7 hours until he was dying. He stopped shortly after, Wei Fuhe died. After Wei Fuhe died, they cleaned the scene and told the police officers in charge that Wei Fuhe was a sudden death.

However, during the autopsy, the police found that Wei Fuhe had more than 380 injuries on his body, which was a death caused by a long-term beating. Yu Zuomin was very dissatisfied with the case handlers and believed that others were randomly interfering in his management. He hid the murderer and detained the case handlers for 13 hours. The police will never condone such matters that cannot be processed and sent 400 police officers to capture the murderer.

As a result, someone spread rumors: "Someone is coming to attack Daqiuzhuang!" After hearing the news, Yu Zuomin was furious and immediately organized the villagers and the police to confront each other. To this end, the villagers took iron rods made of rebar, drove a tractor, car, oil tanker, and parked at the intersection as a roadblock, consciously patrolling and guarding, and the whole village was always ready to fight against the police. To avoid conflict, the police car parked three kilometers outside Daegu Village. Through coordination, only 30 police officers were sent to the village to investigate. After difficult evidence collection, all the more than 20 thugs who hit people were confirmed and all were arrested.

How stupid and arrogant Yu Zuomin is? Later, he actually produced a batch of written materials, saying that there was an undercurrent to "explode" the reform of Daqiuzhuang, and to report it to the people of the whole country, so that the people of the whole country could give them a comment and "discuss an explanation."

As time goes by, more and more local villagers have begun to awaken and no longer endorse the "local emperor" Yu Zuomin, which has occupied the law. Many people actively report Yu Zuomin's crimes to the judicial authorities. On April 15, the public security organs detained Yu Zuomin for investigation in accordance with the law. A week later, with the approval of the procuratorate, Yu Zuomin was arrested in accordance with the law.

During the pre-trial, this arrogant "manager" finally lowered his head, pleaded guilty and sentenced him repeatedly, "I confess to the government to be lenient." On August 24, Yu Zuomin cried bitterly in court and pleaded guilty. Three days later, the court made a first-instance judgment, sentenced Yu Zuomin to 220 years in prison in accordance with the law.

Yu Zuomin's actions were criticized by many media, saying that Daeguzhuang was " Tuweizi " and Yu Zuomin was "Daqiu Emperor". During his sentence, Yu Zuomin wrote to his son, saying, "The father fell because he didn't understand the law. Don't repeat the same mistakes, you should learn the law more."

4. In prison, he finally repented. After Yu Zuomin was sentenced to prison, he still felt that he was wronged and felt that his achievements were greater than his faults. He made great contributions to the development of Daqiuzhuang. He sent himself to prison because he committed a little problem, but he still couldn't understand. According to the prison guards and instructors, when he first entered the prison, Yu Zuomin was almost a "legal blind man".

In terms of life, he still put on the airs of the "owner of the house" and refused to eat prison food. He often paid out of his own pocket to ask the guards to buy food and groceries for him, and refused to wear prison uniforms and get haircuts like others. Regarding this special prisoner, the disciplinary staff did not give a break, but pointed out: "As long as you walk into prison, you are a prisoner, you must abide by the prison's regulations!" In the face of the law, Yu Zuomin finally lowered his arrogant head.

A few months before he was imprisoned, Yu Zuomin had the idea of ​​committing suicide. Fortunately, the discipline staff gave him a profound ideological education.After three months of studying in prison, Yu Zuomin's thoughts gradually changed, and he also reflected on his crimes: "I have made wealth on the road of reform and took the wrong step on the road of law."

Once when talking to the supervisor, Yu Zuomin once asked: "I still have many things that I can't understand, such as people were not killed by me, and many things were not done by me personally. I only have leadership responsibilities. Why should I be convicted?" The instructor replied: "The law is the most fair. You will never be irresponsible just because you are the leader. We all use facts as the basis." After hearing his words, Yu Zuomin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the law still has so many clauses."

On October 16, 1993, when Yu Zuomin's wife and daughter came to visit the prison, he repeatedly reminded: "You must let Shaoguo (Yu Zuomin's eldest son) learn the law and abide by the law. I just don't understand the law, so I fell to this point today!" It was not until this time that he realized the importance of law. However, it was too late, and he had already paid a heavy price for it.

After being imprisoned, Yu Zuomin’s biggest wish is to go home early to reunite with his family. According to the prison instructor recalled, Yu Zuomin often told a prisoner in the same cell at that time: "Don't look at you for five years, I'll leave earlier than you!" During his sentence, he often sighed outside the window: "When can I go out?"

As time passed, Yu Zuomin's fantasy gradually faded, his mood began to decline, and his health became deteriorating. In the first half of 1994, he was admitted to the hospital due to upper abdominal pain and anemia. After examination, he suffered from more than 10 diseases including chronic gastritis. Since then, his condition has continued to worsen, and he has symptoms such as vomiting blood, blood stool .

Considering his physical condition, out of humanitarian spirit, the city leaders approved him to be on medical parole for . In 1997, Yu Zuomin's 96-year-old mother died of illness, and the judicial department allowed him to go home to visit. However, due to excessive sadness, his health deteriorated again, and in 1998 he was transferred to html for one day and hospital for treatment.

Here, the government provided him with good treatment, not only allowing his wife to come and take care of him, but also taking certain protective measures. Except for not being able to leave the hospital gate, Yu Zuomin can walk anywhere in the hospital. Although the quality of life has improved a lot, Yu Zuomin still wants to live a free life and has said many times: "I want to go home."

According to the hospital's recollection, Yu Zuomin once pointed to the head and said to the doctor, "My illness is here, can you cure me?" At 1 a.m. on October 3, 1999, Yu Zuomin died in Tianhe Hospital at the age of 69.

After Yu Zuomin's death, the Yu family's children proposed to take them home. Considering that Yu Zuomin was still serving his sentence at the time, the city leaders rejected this request, but relatives could pay their respects at the crematorium. After cremation, Yu Zuomin's ashes were transported back to Daqiu Village and buried in the ancestral tomb of the Yu family in Zhenxi. The shape of his tombstone and tomb is no different from that of others. It is impossible to tell that what is buried here is the "owner of the Daegu Village" who was once a mighty person. With his death, the "Yu Zuomin Era" in Daqiuzhuang also came to an end.

5. The family has fallen into the world, even though it is a flash in the pan

Without Yu Zuomin, Daguzhuang still undergoes earth-shaking changes. In 1997, the Asian financial crisis broke out, the economy of Daeguzhuang began to sluggish, and most companies fell into a state of suspension of production. In 2001, Daqiuzhuang's total fiscal revenue was only more than 37 million yuan, which was only at the early stage of the town's establishment.

However, the villagers of Daqiuzhuang did not sit still and wait for death. They restructured local enterprises, absorbed a lot of personal and social funds, and gradually revitalized the enterprises. As the steel market rises, the economy of Daeguzhuang gradually begins to recover, and fiscal revenue in 2006 rose to 240 million yuan.

Daqiu Village has recovered its prosperity, but the Yu family has disappeared in this village. Yu Zuomin's eldest son Yu Shaoguo was originally the deputy general manager of Daqiuzhuang Enterprise Group. He stepped down after Yu Zuomin's accident. Yu Zuomin's second son, Yu Shaozheng, has always been trained as his successor. After serving his sentence, he and his mother Fan left Daeguzhuang, went to Tianjin to make a living, and did business in the "Tianjin Clothing Street".Yu Zuomin's eldest daughter married Zhao Shuzhong, the former general manager of Daegu Zhuangjinmei Group. The other two daughters also married early and rarely interfered in the internal affairs of the group.

After Yu Zuomin had an accident, some of them stayed in Jinghai District , while others went to the city to develop and lived an ordinary and low-key life.

Yu Zuomin's life path is full of ups and downs, even a roller coaster-like change. This change in life is not the change in the external environment, but the narrowness of his life as a farmer. He feels that he has made contributions and contributions, he can override the party discipline and national laws, and he can be arrogant. This limitation ultimately leads him to the abyss that is irreversible.
