The location is Shang garlic village in Jinning, Yunnan, and the leader is Song Qingling, a world-famous woman of the 20th century and then vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China:

Vice Chairman Song Qingling inspected Yunnan
This precious video is only 1.5 minutes long, but it is enough to make people feel the great personality charm of Ms. Song Qingling.
Song Qingling walked with the cadres and the masses on the dirt road of Shang garlic village
According to the recollections of those present at that time, during the entire inspection period, Song Qingling was "full of spirit and smiling from beginning to end" and "kind and kind voice and smile" are still vividly remembered decades later. ”
Through their memories, many little-known anecdotes behind the news images have also been left for posterity:
"Or call Song Qingling good"
When Song Qingling inspected Jinning Shang garlic, he did not appear as a chief at all, but treated everyone like a relative, with a sincere attitude, amiable and approachable. She cordially talked with the grassroots cadres and masses, greeting each other and greeting each other. Some of the masses called her "Mother of the Nation" from the bottom of their hearts, while cadres called her "vice chairman." She said: "I am a servant of the people under the leadership of the Communist Party, don't call 'mother of the country' or 'vice chairman', or call me Song Qingling."
Song Qingling asked Duan Youli's wife about rural life
No special gifts are allowed
When he saw that some cadres were smoking "big heavy nine" cigarettes, Song Qingling was very confused. After explaining that this was an ordinary cigarette produced by Yunnan, she did not continue to ask questions. While eating with the masses, she saw the sumptuous meal and scolded her that she should not spend money on hospitality. Grassroots cadres and the masses truthfully explained to her: "The dinner table is full of things produced by the village, and there is no money to buy them." She accepted with satisfaction and said, "I don't want special hospitality, let alone gifts." ”
Song Qingling asked Hai Shuying, secretary of the village league branch, about the situation of the youth league members
During the inspection, Song Qingling saw that the flowers of the rural women in Jinning were very beautiful, so he paid attention to it and admired it. The crowd wanted to give her flowers around her waist. She hurriedly said, "I have received your affection, but I don't want you to send it." Later, she bought several girdles and hats from the women selling goods in the market town of Jincheng as a souvenir. When someone wanted to pay for her, she criticized: "How disobedient!" If you personally buy it for me, your salary is not as high as mine. How can I accept that? If you use public funds to buy it, it is to use the people's hard-earned money as a human feeling, which is the style of the Kuomintang. Communist Party cadres are not allowed to do this, and they must remember that they are not allowed to do so! After saying that, she paid the crowd according to the price.
Down-to-earth, pragmatic and solid research
According to the recollections of cadres at that time, in the process of listening to the report, Song Qingling was very attentive and meticulous, and once he found something unclear or suspicious, he called it a re-talk; sometimes he asked questions and asked the relevant people to answer. She not only listened to the report, but also went to the scene to make practical understanding, and then put forward opinions and suggestions to the cadres to solve the problem, without any ambiguity.

Duan Qiaoshi briefed Song Qingling on women's work
Song Qingling also visited three peasant households, Li Chang, Duan Ping, and Duan Qiao, inquired in detail about their production and living conditions, watched with great interest the fruits of labor such as grain, peppers, and gourds piled up in their homes, inspected the wheat and rape fields just sown by the Shang garlic agricultural production cooperative, and visited the newly installed water pumps.

Song Qingling saw the harvest fruits of the masses on the grain field
During the knee-jerk conversation, Soong Ching Ling also asked everyone what their opinions were on the "Draft Model Charter for Agricultural Production Cooperatives" adopted by the NPC Standing Committee. Does it apply? How to establish close ties with credit unions, supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run economic institutions? How to do a good job in the preferential treatment of military martyrs and widows and the elderly? How to strengthen ideological education for the masses? What do the rural masses think about the lives of the urban people... The Jinning cadres and masses who attended the forum all answered one by one according to their own understanding, and their speeches were very warm, and the atmosphere at the scene was lively.
Build a tobacco factory repair a reservoir
After Song Qingling saw the packaging of Flue-cured Tobacco exported by Jinning, he said: "The quality of your 'Heavy Nine Cigarettes' in Yunnan is very good, if you take the tobacco to Shanghai for processing, it can become a high-grade cigarette." She also said: "Why don't you process high-grade cigarettes for export on your own, and only sell raw materials to endure the suffering of others' 'pressure level' and 'price pressure'?" In the past, when China was exploited by capitalist countries, we could only sell raw materials, but as a result, foreigners processed them and sold them to us at high prices, and they were subjected to double exploitation, so the country was not strong and the people were not rich. She immediately pointed out: "This situation needs to change quickly." You have difficulties, and when I go back to report to the premier, I ask him to transfer some equipment and send a few technicians from Shanghai to help you change. ”
Song Qingling conscientiously understood the production and living conditions of the masses
Grassroots cadres briefed Song Qingling on the situation of fighting drought and ensuring a bumper harvest
Wang Qin, then secretary of the Jinning County CPC Committee, reported in detail to Song Qingling that Jinning had ten floods and nine droughts, and that after liberation, water conservancy had been vigorously built, but it was still difficult to meet the needs of production. He also proposed: "We want to build a large reservoir that can accommodate tens of millions of square meters of water, but we can't come up with money, and we are worried about the lack of technical strength, afraid of not doing well, not water conservancy, but water damage." After listening to the situation, Song Qingling immediately came to the scene, inspected the pumping machine on the Chai River and the local environment, and gladly expressed his support for the construction of a large reservoir on the Chai River. She told the leaders of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee at that time: "In order to develop production and change the face of poverty in Jinning, the province should support it, and ask the Water Conservancy Bureau to send people to seriously survey and design, I will report to the central government, and the state will allocate funds." Other provinces have built many large reservoirs of hundreds of millions of square meters, and they can send people to visit and study, because this is a good thing for the centennial plan, and we should actively do a good job. ”
Sure enough, not long after, the equipment and technicians of the tobacco factory came. It was arranged to build the "Yuxi Tobacco Factory" in the Yuxi Hongta Mountain in the Yuxi Special District at that time.
On September 1, 1956, the construction of the Chaihe Reservoir began. On July 1, 1957, the Chaihe Reservoir with a total storage capacity of 19.7 million cubic meters was completed, with a total investment of 1415604 yuan and 1552487 working days. Chinese the People's Liberation Army also gave great support to this project construction, and invested a total of 19,990 working days in the military industry.
