Introduction: There was once such a provincial party secretary in Hunan Province who was famous in the world, and his reputation for loving the people like a son resounded in the hearts of most ordinary people in Hunan, and he was Comrade Mao Zhiyong. Comrade Mao Zhiyong was born into a poor family and devoted his life to the development of agriculture and the economic field in Hunan Province. As he grew older, Mao Zhi, who was already full of white hair, retired from his hometown of Yueyang, Hunan Province, and lived an ordinary and simple peasant life.
Mao Zhiyong was born in 1929 in a poor family in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, and his parents were very supportive of Mao Zhiyong's education in his childhood, but after Mao Zhiyong graduated from high school, his parents could not support the tuition fees for subsequent education, so Mao Zhiyong had to give up his studies and step into society early.
It is gratifying that although Mao Zhiyong gave up his studies, he always studied hard assiduously. In addition, at that time, the social background of the mainland was still in a backward stage, and young students with high and primary education were also very rare, plus the new China had just been founded, and it was precisely when the country needed talents the most, so Mao Zhiyong was transferred to the local grain bureau to be responsible for the work of assistants and secretaries, and his work attitude and personal ability were recognized by the superior leaders.
Mao Zhiyong's leaders often saw Mao Zhiyong use his spare time to study hard, and Coupled with Mao Zhiyong's good handwriting, he was praised and praised by the leaders. At the recommendation of the leader, Mao Zhiyong was dispatched to the local county as the secretary of the county party secretary, which once again improved Mao Zhiyong's understanding of the political level.
In 1960, a crucial year in Mao Zhiyong's political career, he organized a paper transfer order to appoint Mao Zhiyong as the secretary of the county party committee in Yueyang County. For Mao Zhiyong, the transfer of this job did not have much pressure, because for many years, Mao Zhiyong has been concerned about the development of his hometown, coupled with the study and experience of politics for many years, so that Mao Zhiyong has already had a set of experience in developing the Yueyang economic system, that is, the reform of agricultural production.
At that time, the country's scientific and technological level was further significantly improved, and Mao Zhiyong infused the concept of science and technology into the local agricultural production in Yueyang County, which greatly improved the surge in agricultural output of local growers, thereby enhancing the overall economic capacity of Yueyang. Until the full implementation of reform and opening up, Deng Gong was very satisfied with Mao Zhiyong's performance, and Mao Zhiyong also became more and more mature in his work practice again and again, serving as the secretary of the provincial party committee of Hunan Province.
After becoming the secretary of the provincial party committee, Mao Zhiyong actively responded to the call for reform and opening up, and integrated the concept of economic development and leading the masses to prosperity into the main work process. During this period, Mao Zhiyong proposed to take economic construction as the core of the development of Hunan Province, ensure the effective development of the agricultural sector, and actively attract talents in the province to invest and start a business. It is also under the guarantee of Mao Zhiyong's comprehensive economic implementation policy that Hunan's economy has achieved unprecedented rapid development.
With the economic problems in Hunan solved, the organization once again entrusted Mao Zhiyong with heavy responsibilities, this time as the secretary of the provincial party committee of Jiangxi Province. At that time, Jiangxi Province was not as rich and prosperous as Hunan, and Mao Zhiyong actively visited various cities in Hunan, and finally placed the core concept of economic construction into the unique characteristics of each city, and at the same time carried out a drastic reform of the agricultural system, and the economic appearance of Jiangxi Province was renewed.
In the last few years of Mao Zhiyong's political career, he held the position of vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and in a high position, he was also an old man with gray hair, but the pace of work was more arduous than before. A few years later, Mao Zhiyong retreated to the second line, and instead of going to the cadre's sanatorium, he returned to his hometown in Yueyang, where he had been born and raised, to live the life of a farmer. Until 2019, Comrade Mao Zhiyong died of illness at the age of 90.
