——Remember Liang Jintao, president of the Numismatic Society of Xinchang County, Zhejiang
Liang Jintao has been retired for nearly three years, just in time for the normalization of epidemic prevention and control. With a limited career and unlimited hobbies, he focused his main energy on doing a good job in the work of the Numismatic Society, striving to minimize the impact of the epidemic, and trying to carry out various activities as loudly and colorfully as possible. Thinking that the old age is not barren, I will play my hobby to the extreme. He ran for the rest of his life of "life with love, life is better", and began his long coin journey without end.
Immerse yourself in collecting and helping to pass on.
Liang Jintao joined the Xinchang County Branch of the People's Bank of China in 1978 and witnessed the whole process of reform, opening up, development and growth of the mainland's financial industry. He loves financial work, loves coin collection, has a heart for everything, and has accumulated a lot. Today, he is the president of the Xinchang County Numismatic Society, retiring endlessly, helping to inherit, and has pioneered and dedicated in many aspects. In the face of this wave of the epidemic, some normal coin exchange activities are difficult to carry out, so he set up a "spring friend group" online and carried out the "daily one coin and one ticket appreciation" activity online. He first showed a special certificate of deposit in the group, which was issued by the Savings Agency of Dongzhi Street of the People's Bank of China in 1964, which attracted the discussion and traces of many financial fans. The transformation of the ancient city, the old street to be demolished, and the name of the neighborhood was changed early, so it no longer existed, so he called on friends and friends, and went to the East Street for many times to investigate and verify, in order to give up the East Street feelings and financial feelings.
In 1979, Dongzhi Street was renamed East Street. The following year, the staff quarters of the People's Bank of China were also built here. On April 22, 2022, when a group of old residents and bankers here came to East Street to look for traces, no one could say where they were. Yang Yanhui, former vice president of Xinchang Rural Commercial Bank, took the certificate of deposit from Liang Jintao's hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "The certificate of deposit is the same age as me, and the seal is clear and as old as new, which is indeed very rare." Liang Jintao continued with great emotion: "Time has passed for 58 years, and now the mind is still sober and will not know, and the people who know are old, and the consciousness is blurred and cannot be said clearly." Writing the history of local financial instruments and doing a good job in the inheritance of Chinese monetary culture, the burden of our generation is not light! ”
Be conscientious and have fun.
"Chinese numismatic culture has a long history, broad and profound, once it is deeply rooted in it, exploring the secret and seeking verification, it will also retire and enjoy it for a lifetime." Liang Jintao, who served as president of the Xinchang County Numismatic Society after his retirement, said this many times at the annual meeting. His lifelong association with finance, love of coin collection, appreciation and discussion, which has become his spiritual pursuit and the meaning of life. After retirement, he devoted more energy to the affairs of the Numismatic Society, worked hard to minimize the impact of the epidemic, and promoted the effective development of many activities of the Society online, and the online work was well done, well received by superiors and praised by all walks of life.

For his appointment, he has been appointed and conscientious, and has been rated as an excellent community organization by the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee and the Federation of Social Sciences for five consecutive years. The society actively cooperates with the relevant government departments to carry out science popularization publicity, cooperates with banks to carry out activities such as anti-counterfeit currency, and always adheres to the monthly organized activities of the society. In the case of tight epidemic prevention and control, we will carry out activities online or take a combination of online and offline to maximize the subjective initiative of members and expand the influence of the society. In the large-scale coin ticket display activities such as the 23rd anniversary of the establishment of the Society, there are large-scale, large-scale creativity and great effects, attracting media at all levels to report and winning wide acclaim from all walks of life.
The most important thing is that hobbies can make refinement and go far. Liang Jintao regards coin collection as an attitude to life, but also a kind of fun. Regard learning work as a spiritual pursuit, so it can look down to the past and the present, be willing to inherit, and drive a group of like-minded industry people to do something old, have fun in the old, enjoy the old, and strive for the second spring of life, and the retirement life is more exciting.
The original intention does not change, no complaints and no regrets.

"Hobbies keep old age from being barren." His retirement life was colorful and orderly, and according to his words, it was not much different from going to work. The small stage of coin collection, the big platform of numismatic learning, let him show his skills and enjoy it. He always seized the opportunity to go to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places to participate in coin ticket exhibitions and exchange seminars inside and outside the province, or interact with some experts and scholars online. On weekdays, he also led the members of the society to participate in various on-site activities organized by more than 10 local banks, and went deep into rural areas, communities, schools, and construction sites to carry out anti-counterfeiting and science popularization. Asked him what his plans are after retirement, "The hobby remains the same, the original intention remains unchanged, I will collect this bit of money, if I can pass on it, I will have no regrets." "It's really his voice, he's practicing it, and he's never tired of it.
