In the history of China's discipline inspection and supervision, there is such an old predecessor, who only has the party and the people in his heart, and in the wartime, he is in front of the enemy's artillery charge; In peacetime, he became the nemesis of the "moth" and struggled in the front line of punishing corruption and eliminating corruption, and he was Hou Zongbin, former deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
I. During the war years, we threw ourselves into the revolution for the sake of the people
Hou Zongbin was born in 1929 to a poor peasant family in rural Henan, when there were invaders outside China and the white terror of the Kuomintang, and the whole land of China was in turmoil. In such a social environment, his life has been very difficult since he was a child, and his father died of illness when he was 14 years old, which made the already very poor family even worse, in order to make a living, the young Hou Zongbin took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family. The hard life did not crush him, but on the contrary, it forged his hard-working, tenacious character.
As a student, he came into contact with communist ideas and set a great ideal of devoting himself to the revolutionary cause. At the age of 16 he embarked on the revolutionary road and became a member of the Communist Party the following year. At that time, Japan had surrendered, but the Kuomintang launched a civil war, although Hou Zongbin was very young at the time, but he was very conscientious in his work, and he completed every task assigned by his superiors very well, which was recognized and reused by the organization, and it did not take long to grow from a militia soldier to a militia captain, and later served as a member of the district committee.
Second, in peacetime, devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the construction of new China
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's various undertakings were in ruins and a large number of talents were urgently needed, and Hou Zongbin, as a young party member who had been baptized by war, had more room for development. With his deep love for the party and the people and his unremitting efforts, in 1952 he was appointed deputy secretary of the county party committee of Cili County, Hunan Province. During his tenure as deputy secretary, he often went deep among the masses and wholeheartedly solved practical difficulties for the people, and was recently unanimously loved by the local people. Later, he accepted the organizational arrangement and was transferred to Lanzhou, where he worked diligently and diligently for more than 20 years, successively holding important leadership positions in Lanzhou Comprehensive Motor Factory and other units, and made great contributions to the industrial transformation of the mainland.
With the advent of the spring of reform and opening up, Hou Zongbin was appointed deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Economic Commission, and he took the lead in emancipating the mind, making innovations, and making suggestions and suggestions for Gansu's economic development, and achieved great results. Since then, he has successively served as deputy secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, governor of Shaanxi Province, and secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee. In the past 8 years, he has been in charge of three provinces, and while paying attention to the development of industrialization and urbanization, he also attaches great importance to the "three rural" issues, and has made significant contributions to the development of the local economy and society.
Third, in the period of development, punishing corruption and eliminating corruption will help economic development
In 1992, in the face of the severe "anti-corruption" situation, Hou Zongbin once again bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities and served as deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Since then, he has been closely linked to the word "anti-corruption." At his initiative, the Central Discipline Inspection Commission has gone deep into the frontline of the grass-roots units to rectify the work style and discipline, and he himself has also persisted for a long time in going deep into the grass-roots units to visit and investigate the most real situation at the grass-roots level and carry out the management of corruption problems at the source and democratic supervision. Under his unremitting efforts, a large number of "moths" fell into the legal net, and he was also known as the "moth busters".
In the short period of one year that he presided over the work of the discipline inspection department, he investigated and punished dozens of middle- and high-ranking cadres, and safeguarded the purity of the party's contingent and the credibility of the government. During his tenure as deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was a crucial period for the reform of state-owned enterprises, and some corrupt elements took advantage of the opportunity to seek personal gains. Hou Zongbin struck a blow at this kind of behavior that seriously harmed the interests of the state and the people, launched a huge campaign of investigation, and along with the fall of a large number of corrupt elements, this unhealthy trend and evil atmosphere were effectively curbed.
In 2003, Hou Zongbin, who had struggled for the cause of the party and the people for most of his life, quit his job and finally had his own time. After his retirement, he was fascinated by photography and calligraphy, and with his unremitting efforts, he also achieved a lot in calligraphy, and his writing was as strong and atmospheric as he was.
Although he has retired from his post, his concern for the people and the cause of party and state construction has not diminished at all, and he has put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions for the building of the party and the state, and he is still concerned about the state's anti-corruption struggle and the reform of the supervision system in the months before his birth.
Epilogue:
Hou Zongbin's life has made outstanding contributions in several jobs, no matter what tasks assigned by his superiors, he is not afraid of hardships and dangers, has no complaints, successfully completed the task, and dedicated his life to the cause of the rejuvenation of the party and the nation.
