In 1964, the Beijing Film Studio made a film called "Young Luban".
As soon as the movie was released, the protagonist "Li Sanjie" instantly attracted the attention of the audience. A spirited construction worker, good at technological innovation, dedicated to serving the people.
The prototype of Li San's generation is Li Ruihuan, the former secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee.

In 1989, Li Ruihuan was co-opted as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. What people don't know is that this well-known good cadre of the people is actually a carpenter.
Li Ruihuan once recalled: "When I was 17 years old, I went to Beijing to work as a small worker. By chance, I went to sweep the shavings for the carpentry class. ”
In order to subsidize his family, the young Li Ruihuan went to Beijing alone to earn a living. Later, Li Ruihuan met Wang Xitian, the carpenter's chief carpenter, who thought that Li Ruihuan was diligent and studious, sincere in attitude, and flexible in his hands, so he suggested that he learn carpentry.
In this way, Li Ruihuan started as a small carpenter, worked as a worker for 15 years, became a commando captain at a young age, and won the title of National Youth Model. Later, Li Ruihuan became a senior cadre of the party and the state, from a craftsman to a leader.
In his spare time at work, Li Ruihuan used firewood from his home to make a set of furniture, full of typical modern atmosphere. Although the material is rough, Li Ruihuan's workmanship is very fine, the pattern of the whole set of furniture is atmospheric, rigorous and beautiful, and the color matching is also very exquisite.
In this way, Li Ruihuan's superb carpentry skills are also vividly reflected.
In fact, among the many central leaders, Li Ruihuan is not the only carpenter. In 1943, Liu Shaoqi, who was elected secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was actually a carpenter and was very skilled.
Despite his busy political life, Liu Shaoqi had little time to deal with carpentry work, and when he saw that something needed to be repaired, Liu Shaoqi was still reluctant to do so.
In the evening of 1951, Liu Shaoqi saw that the Yingxun Pavilion in Zhongnanhai needed to be repaired on his way to work, so he couldn't help but go over and repair it.
Li Xiannian, who became a member of the Politburo Standing Committee in 1977, was born into a peasant family in Huang'an, Hubei Province. Because of the high tuition fees, Li Xiannian had to drop out of school to learn ancestral carpentry skills, and he was also quite successful in the woodworking world.
The central leaders were excellent in their carpentry skills, and even more brilliant in their political careers. Among the carpenter-turned-leaders, Li Ruihuan's path to politics is even more unique.

In 1965, Li Ruihuan became the deputy secretary of the party committee of the Beijing Building Materials Supply Company and the secretary of the general branch of the party of the Beijing Construction Timber Factory, and has since embarked on the road to politics.
Soon after, Li Ruihuan stopped working for environmental reasons. Despite the enormous pressure, his passion for his work and his pragmatic attitude have never faded.
In 1971, Li Ruihuan returned to work and successively served as the secretary of the party committee of Beijing Construction Timber Factory, the deputy secretary of the party committee of the Industrial Bureau, and the deputy director of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions. In 1979, Li Ruihuan became the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation.
In 1981, Li Ruihuan returned to Tianjin and served as the vice mayor of Tianjin. In 1982, at the age of 48, Li Ruihuan became the secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, responsible for consolidating civil affairs and sustained economic development.
During his tenure, Li Ruihuan led his subordinates to formulate a series of plans and plans to deal with various situations in Tianjin. He attached great importance to the coordinated development of various regions, often fought in the frontline, understood the difficulties of the masses, proceeded from reality, and solved problems for the people.
It is often said that Li Ruihuan is a philosopher in politics. On the road to politics, Li Ruihuan has his own philosophical system, the most famous of which is the old lady philosophy.
When Li Ruihuan was the mayor of Tianjin, he once created a new way of paying attention to the people's livelihood, that is, to carry out dialogues with people's congress deputies and people from all walks of life, and to answer questions and answers on TV sets in order to better solve problems for the masses. In one conversation, an old lady raised her own difficulty: the gas stove in the house often did not light a fire.
There was no shortage of professionals in charge of solving the problems on the spot, who used mathematical, biological, and physical knowledge to try to answer the problem of the gas stove for the old lady from an academic point of view. At this time, Li Ruihuan, who had been observing from the side for a long time, said: "It is useless for you to talk so much." What the old lady asked was 'gas ignition on fire'. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly realized that the most effective way to unfold mass work is to solve their difficulties in the simplest way. Obviously, Li Ruihuan is well versed in this way, and since then, the philosophy of an old lady who does not talk about reason, is pragmatic and dares to solve problems has become a template for Tianjin officials to learn.
The "Uncle Li" of Tianjin's population is most intolerable to the fact that officials neglect their duties and only engage in face projects.
Li Ruihuan's philosophy of the old lady began with the old lady, but did not end only with the old lady. Under the guidance of the old lady's philosophy, Tianjin has a new look.
The project of introducing Luan into Tianjin was successfully implemented, the water quality in Tianjin has been greatly improved, and the people have been able to drink healthy drinking water. Soon after, the earthquake shelter left over from the Tangshan earthquake was demolished, and residential buildings were erected one after another, and the living conditions of residents were greatly improved.
At the same time, Li Ruihuan stepped up the transformation of Tianjin's urban traffic trunk line, and the daily travel of Tianjin citizens was smoother.
Tianjin has regained its vitality, and Li Ruihuan has made an indispensable contribution. At this time, it was only a short year since Li Ruihuan took office.
Later, Li Ruihuan mentioned in "The Development of Tianjin's Health Undertakings" that the two places of crematorium and hospital can make people educated.
Li Ruihuan's remarks, centered on the cause of health, were thought-provoking. Social affairs involve all aspects, and Li Ruihuan attaches the most importance to all kinds of people's livelihood issues.
Li Ruihuan often said to his subordinates: "Understand the actual needs of the people, maintain a truth-seeking and pragmatic attitude, do not play official, seek truth from facts, and never go around in circles." ”
Although the philosophy of the old lady can guide government officials to solve practical problems, it still needs the guarantee of the old lady system. Only by implementing the needs can the grassroots people truly gain a sense of happiness.
In 1989, Li Ruihuan became a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, rose to the level of zhengguo, and officially participated in national work. In 1995, when China and Britain had a huge disagreement over the political system in Hong Kong, Li Ruihuan once again showed his old lady philosophy to the public.
His experience of buying a teapot with an old lady and accidentally destroying the characteristics of the teapot shows: "The reason why Hong Kong can achieve miracles is because it has its own characteristics. ”
If, in dealing with the Hong Kong issue, we forcibly change its characteristics, the final result can only be like an old lady, who has done bad things with good intentions. At Li Ruihuan's suggestion, the central government put on the agenda the plan to agree on one country, two systems.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > martyrs in their twilight years</h1>
In 2003, Li Ruihuan stepped down as chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and soon retired to the second line. After stepping down as chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Li Ruihuan no longer appeared in public in a high-profile manner, rarely published poems, and rarely knew his final residence.
When he visited Hong Kong as a central official, Li Ruihuan won the applause of the crowd with his humorous and funny talk. A reporter in Hong Kong once asked: "Did your emphasis on the importance of unity in your speech show that you do not think Hong Kong is united?" ”
Li Ruihuan replied unhurriedly: "I wish you good health, does that mean that your body is not healthy in the first place?" ”
Yes, Li Ruihuan has a very high social status in the hearts of the Hong Kong people. Even after his retirement, journalists in Hong Kong are still very concerned about Li Ruihuan's life.
A magazine in Hong Kong once reported on Li Ruihuan after retirement: he likes to listen to Peking Opera, often meets with friends, plays tennis together, and lives a comfortable and satisfying life.
In September 2004, people also saw Li Ruihuan at the scene of the China Open. Soon after, the special edition of "Chinese Peking Opera Audio-Visual Collection" was officially released, and four operas, including "The Tale of the West Chamber" personally formulated by Li Ruihuan, were also included.
Now that Li Ruihuan has entered his old age, he still attaches great importance to the development of the country. In 2006, he donated his own fees to support poor students in Tianjin. In more than 3 years, Li Ruihuan has helped more than 100 college students successfully complete their studies.
In his spare time, Li Ruihuan put most of his energy into writing, and he gave full play to his philosophical logic and wrote works such as "Studying Philosophy with Philosophy" and "Opinions and Sayings", which caused strong repercussions in society.
At the same time, Li Ruihuan also wrote "Talking about Practical Matters for the People", which recorded Li Ruihuan's work in Tianjin. The concept of "doing practical things for the people" expounded by Li Ruihuan has played a huge role in the self-restraint of modern officials and has full practical significance.
Li Ruihuan's life after retirement is comfortable, and he also spends most of his time studying. As he put it: "I have suffered so much in my life to study, I am really tired, and I need to easily read a little of the books I want to read." ”
Prior to this, whether he served at the central or local levels, Li Ruihuan was invisibly under tremendous pressure. He was anxious that his ability was insufficient, his thinking was not good, and his work was flawed, which would have an adverse impact on the party and the country.
In fact, for Li Ruihuan, pressure is always a double-edged sword. The pressure makes Li Ruihuan's thinking tense at all times, and it is precisely because of this fear that he supports his continuous learning and implements the truth-seeking and pragmatic and down-to-earth work style.
Li Ruihuan, a good cadre, has always been a qualified political philosopher in the minds of the people, and has always been the serious but incomparably easy-going "Uncle Li" in the minds of the people of Tianjin.
