The winner of the 8th National Moral Model Nomination Award | Ding Jianhua: One branch and one leaf is always concerned

"What have you been like lately, have the sheep taken care of?" Are the cows sick and well? Ding Jianhua hadn't gone to see Ma Yinggui for several days, and he didn't know what happened to Ma Yinggui's cattle. On November 5, Ding Jianhua endured the pain of illness and came to Ma Yinggui's house, and when he saw that the cattle in Ma Yinggui's pen were fat and strong, and the sheep had increased, Ding Jianhua's hanging heart was put down.

Ding Jianhua, 60 years old this year, is the general secretary of the party branch of Qiantianling Village in Hexi Town, Tongxin County, the winner of the 2020 National Poverty Alleviation Award, the winner of the 2021 National Poverty Alleviation Advanced Individual, the winner of the Eighth National Moral Model Nomination Award, and the "Cow Secretary" in the mouths of the people. The reason why the villagers call him "Secretary of the Cow" is because he leads the villagers to raise cattle, leads the villagers to issue "cattle wealth", and works more like cattle.

Ma Yinggui is a villager who followed Ding Jianhua to make "cattle money". Over the past few years, under the leadership and help of Ding Jianhua, Ma Yinggui has achieved a leap from no stable economic resources to an annual income of 80,000 yuan through aquaculture. Ma Yinggui said with emotion: "If it were not for Secretary Ding, I would not have such good living conditions as I am now." Under the leadership of Ding Jianhua, there are currently 3,300 cattle and 25,000 sheep in Dry Tianling Village, and the villagers rely on beef cattle breeding to get rid of poverty and become rich, and the people's annual income has increased from 2300 yuan to 8600 yuan.

After years of selfless work, Ding Jianhua has accumulated fatigue and become ill, and the recent headache has not been good, and the left shoulder needs surgery. On the morning of November 1, when it was learned that the cadres and workers of the whole county were going to plant trees voluntarily in the dry Tianling Village, Ding Jianhua led the cadres and masses in the village to plant trees together. "Secretary Ding dragged his tired body and squatted on the ground to plant trees, looking at it was painful." Villager Li Zixiang said.

On November 3, as soon as Ding Jianhua went to the hospital for treatment, he received a call from the village saying that someone had returned from a medium-risk area. Before the liquid began to flow, Ding Jianhua hurried back to the village...

Ding Jianhua's shoulder surgery was scheduled for November 9.

"What are the village history halls ready for?" Is the epidemic prevention and control in place? Lying in a hospital bed is too much to worry about. On November 5, with a few days left before the operation, Ding Jianhua returned to the village to discuss the construction of the village history museum with the team and team members stationed in the village. Li Xiaoxia, director of the Women's Federation of Dry Tianling Village, said with emotion: "Secretary Ding has brought us not only his professionalism and dedication, but also his loyalty to this work and the friendship of the people of Dry Tianling Village, and he has set a good example for us." ”

"People must conscientiously do everything well in this life, and I want to serve all the people of Dry Tianling Village." Talking about his original belief, Ding Jianhua was radiant, as if he had forgotten the pain. Subsequently, he talked endlessly about how to build an ecological garden in Qiantianling Village in the future to make the people's lives more livable, and how to make the village collective economic cooperative reach 5,000 cattle in the next 3 years... And these contents were also densely recorded by Ding Jianhua in his work notes.

After 9 years of grassroots work, Ding Jianhua's forehead was full of wrinkles, and both sideburns had white hair. Perennial visits to the house have created his straight body and solid steps. To this day, Ding Jianhua, who is suffering from illness, is still in good spirits, does not forget his original intention, and leads the party members and cadres of the whole village to strive for the construction of a dry Tianling Village for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside in the new era.
