In 1958, Chairman Mao personally visited Henan, visited many cities one after another, and put forward a lot of constructive opinions. During this period, Chairman Mao specially named the county party secretary of Nanyang , but he did not expect that the secretary who came to report on his work would be unaware of it! So, what exactly is the problem that stumped this "old man" who has lived in the officialdom for a long time. What will happen if he asks and asks him for no reason?
shan south and north water is Yang, so we can see from the name Nanyang that the initial expectations the leaders gave to this city. There is Dengzhou Huazhou Academy in charge of , Fan Zhongyan, and Nanyang has Xiangyan Temple in Xichuan County, one of the "Four Famous Temples in the Central Plains", which has many historical and cultural allusions and buildings.
When Nanyang was once rich, it was also granted the prince as a fief. Although the river of history did not always favor this ancient cultural city, it fell into a sluggish period of time, with the development of the times, its cultural heritage and historical accumulation still gradually rose. Now, as the largest prefecture-level city in Henan Province, it can drive the economic development of surrounding cities and , which can also illustrate its status.
As the founder of New China, Chairman Mao has a very rich knowledge reserve. In 1918, he graduated from Hunan First Normal School and on the eve of his graduation, he organized a revolutionary group with others. Before and after the May Fourth Movement, he came into contact with Marxism while working in the library, thus opening the door to new ideas and devoted himself to the path of a new world.
and these experiences made him particularly fond of reading some historical, political and military books. Even after he embarked on the road of revolution, he still did not give up on the habit of reading. Years of persistence in reading was also the reason why Chairman Mao was able to quote classics anytime and anywhere, telling the gains and losses of history and the way of governing the country.
It is precisely because of his love for history and humanities that Chairman Mao is particularly concerned about Nanyang, the historical city. In addition, Nanyang is the largest prefecture-level city in Henan, but his economic development is relatively backward. After inspecting Zhengzhou, Chairman Mao was preparing to go to Nanyang in person.
In fact, before this, Chairman Mao had gone to many cities such as Kaifeng , Xinxiang and Xuchang , and saw many new atmospheres in New China, among which Xinxiang's large-scale cotton fields were the most, and the happy life of rural people also infected Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao was very pleased to see the thriving scene of Xinxiang County . Even though he was tired, he was still walking on the ridge of the field and greeted the farmers working in the field in a friendly manner. After finishing the inspection in Xinxiang, Chairman Mao was about to go to Nanyang where he was concerned about, but he did not expect that he would still be exhausted after running around for several days.
Chairman Mao was over 60 years old. After years of experience, his body was no longer as strong as he was when he was young. In addition, the road from Zhengzhou, Henan to Nanyang was rugged and bumpy, and there was not even a decent road. The staff who accompanied Chairman Mao inspected took into account his health and persuaded him to stop him.
Although he was unable to go to Nanyang for inspection in person, he could not leave any work he should do. So he accompanied the clerk to send messages to the Nanyang County Party Committee and other counties and townships that he could not move forward, notifying him to come to Zhengzhou as soon as possible to report the relevant work to Chairman Mao. In this way, even if Chairman Mao could not go to Nanyang for inspection, he could still have a preliminary understanding of some basic situations. Taking into account the actual situation, Chairman Mao agreed to such an arrangement.
At that time, the secretary of the Nanyang County Party Committee was a promising man named Wei Zhaoming, with three people from Shandong. In 1955, Wei Zhaoming, who was only 31 years old, was appointed as the secretary of the Nanyang County Party Committee for his outstanding performance in the party.
When Chairman Mao inspected Henan, he happened to be in his third year of office. During these three years, he dare not say that he devoted himself to his work until his death, but his diligence and hard work are obvious to all the locals, and he managed the local affairs in an orderly manner.
This time, although Chairman Mao failed to make a field inspection, he still dared not be careless in reporting work. Because I don’t know which questions Chairman Mao would ask, several people from the Nanyang County Party Committee summarized the data and decisions in various aspects in recent years, printed them into a book, and specially compiled a written report of dozens of pages in order to allow Chairman Mao to learn more about Nanyang County .
It is said that in order to make this report smoother, Wei Zhaoming, one of the county party secretary in Nanyang, even memorized the dozens of pages of the report carefully. As a parent official in Nanyang, he was able to recite this information in a long paragraph before going to Zhengzhou.
However, he did not expect that he could not answer any of the several questions raised by Chairman Mao after listening to the report!
On November 11 of the same year, Wei Zhaoming and several other county and township secretaries came to the living room where Chairman Mao settled in Zhengzhou. There were several people sitting in a small house, and they were all people who usually talked about the county party committee.
is about to get close to the Chairman, and everyone is very excited, most of them are not showing their faces, but the palms are covered with fine beads of sweat.
finally waited for Chairman Mao, and Wu Zhipu, secretary of Henan Provincial Party Committee , introduced the members present to the Chairman.
Everyone sitting in the living room also stood up when they saw the chairman and greeted the chairman one after another. The Chairman also greeted them approachably, and even cared about whether the accommodation was suitable after a long journey. The people who came to the meeting felt the Chairman's concern.
meeting began soon. After each person finished the report, the chairman would ask some questions. Wei Zhaoming, who was beside him, was also paying close attention to the questions raised by the chairman. After thinking about it, he was in the prepared information, so his confidence suddenly increased.
When he reached his order, he walked to the center of the living room confidently and said the information he had already recited in his mind. Looking at the smile on the chairman's face, he became even more excited and carefully analyzed the economic development trends of Nanyang in recent years.
After the report, Wei Zhaomin wiped the sweat in his hand and quietly waited for the chairman to ask him a question that he had interpreted in his mind. He looked at the Chairman's speech, but he didn't expect that the question raised by the Chairman was not in his prediction at all.
"Secretary Wei, you have been in Nanyang for so many years. I want to ask if you know the common saying "Twenty-Eight Constellations Go to Nanyang" which is the 28 Constellations, and which one is the first?"
At that time, Wei Zhaomin was full of summary materials compiled by the county two days ago. Although he had lived in Nanyang County for many years and had heard a lot of these common sayings on weekdays, it was still a bit difficult for him to say Ding Chou Yin Mao. He thought that he was just a rough man, so he had no leisure to study these history. Sweat that had just been wiped out from his palms came out again.
Chairman smirked, and then raised the second question, "Secretary Wei said that there was a historical celebrity in Nanyang Zhuge Liang . Do you know where Zhuge Liang's ancestral home is?"
Wei Zhaoming still shook his head, and Wu Zhipu, who was on the side, said it to solve his predicament. At the same time, more sweat appeared on Wei Zhaoming's forehead. Chairman Mao did not say anything, nodded and raised the third question.
"In classical Chinese " Memorial to the Master ", there is a 'a common man, who is working in Nanyang'. For a long time, scholars from various schools have been arguing about the 'Nanyang' here. Is this 'Nanyang' now Xiangyang or Nanyang? What do you think as a representative of Nanyang?"
Wei Zhaoming could only shake his head honestly, regretting it in his heart. Why don't he read more books in his daily life? At the same time, I was puzzled by several questions asked by Chairman Mao. I couldn’t figure out what is the connection between these questions and Nanyang County’s work report?
The people present were not from Nanyang and Xiangyang, so they were naturally not qualified to answer this question. Fortunately, Chairman Mao also let him go. But then Chairman Mao raised the fourth question today: "You have not studied much about historical issues, so I will ask you the most realistic question. As a parent official in Nanyang County, you should know a lot about the local people's livelihood. Do you know how much sesame oil a person can eat in the county in a month?"
sesame oil was considered a relatively high consumption at that time. How much sesame oil a family can eat in a month can directly reflect the family's economic status and living standards.
When Wei Zhaoming heard this question, he was relieved first. After thinking carefully, he frowned. The information he prepared was full of stories about the production and development of industrial, commercial, agricultural and other industries in the county, and did not record the family expenses of sesame oil. He was ashamed and lowered his head.
In fact, the matter has progressed here, and most people in the living room also understand why Chairman Mao raised these questions. Wei Zhaoming also understood, so he raised his head and apologized solemnly to Chairman Mao.
"Sorry, Chairman! I am now aware of my mistakes. As a local parent official, I not only do not understand the local history and culture, but also ignore the real living standards of the local people, which violates the core purpose of serving the people. It is my lack of thorough thinking that has led to my dereliction of duty."
After hearing Wei Zhaoming's confession, Chairman Mao not only did not scold him, but also patted him on the shoulder encouragingly to express comfort. Finally, the meeting ended with Chairman Mao's remarks "Get close to the local area and pay attention to the actual life of the people."
In fact, the experience of the Nanyang County Party Secretary is not the first time. In fact, as early as March 1958, Chairman Mao also asked a cadre three questions when he visited Sichuan, all of which were in line with the local humanities and history. But the same is true for that cadre, who was also "a question and no one knows".
However, it is precisely these "three ignorances" that make these people realize their shortcomings. After the meeting, these people who were deeply inspired by Chairman Mao began to truly approach the people and benefit the public from the perspective of the people. These are the magical features of Chairman Mao’s personal charm.
