Recently, the "Arctic Catfish", which has flaunted his wealth on social platforms and repeatedly insulted the people, has finally been unable to escape justice and has been hit hard by relevant departments.
After investigation, it was found that his grandfather, Zhong Gengci, who was the director of the bureau, had indeed taken advantage of his position to make profits, and all illegal property was confiscated and expelled from the party.
This "Arctic catfish incident" that has been tossed for half a year seems to have come to an end.
The protagonist of the incident, "Arctic Catfish", once claimed that his family had nine-figure savings, regarded the vast number of people as the family's leeks, and even mocked the public security department on the platform, and revealed that he "felt greedy", which can be described as arrogant and domineering.
These harsh remarks are all clear evidence of the abuse of privileges by corrupt elements, and have invisibly drawn a bottomless gap between the party and the masses.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up has not only brought about a leapfrog economic miracle, but also provided a variety of channels for the black sheep in the bureaucratic ranks to make a fortune, nourishing a group of silverfish.
Under these circumstances, people inevitably miss the old and the present, and occasionally nostalgic for the sonorous years after the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The older generation of revolutionaries, who had inherited the traditions of the war period, did rarely use the privileges. This fine revolutionary tradition is precisely one of the most crucial original intentions that our Party often emphasizes.
The most respected Marshal Zhu De after the founding of the People's Republic of China also used his privileges once under special circumstances. But the difference is that the privilege abused by the Zhong Gengci family is only superficial corruption and a nest of thieves and rats, while Marshal Zhu De has proved his incorruptibility and good family style through this incident, which is moving.
The old marshal who insisted on being clean and simple
Born in 1886 in a poor peasant family in the mountains of Sichuan, Zhu De learned thrift and thrift from an early age. After joining the Red Army, Zhu De also often regarded himself as an ordinary soldier and rarely engaged in specialization.
As a result, by 1937, Zhu De, who was the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, was still destitute. When relatives from his hometown rushed over and told him that the house really couldn't open the pot, and asked him for help, Zhu De couldn't do anything. Of course, he couldn't watch his old mother starve to death, so he pondered borrowing a sum of money from a friend to solve his urgent needs.

So, Zhu De wrote a famous "beggar post" by hand and borrowed 200 yuan from his friend Dai Youling who was still in Sichuan. This amount of money is naturally not a small amount for ordinary people. But the commander who commands tens of thousands of troops, as long as he is willing to think of a way, this is by no means a problem. Zhu De still chose to bend his waist to borrow, which shows his frugality.
After the founding of New China, when the country entered a period of peaceful development, Zhu De was well aware of the truth that it was more difficult to sit on a river and a mountain than to fight a river, and without the slightest slack, he still strictly restrained himself and his family, recorded the family's daily expenses one by one for inspection, and required his family to obtain his consent no matter what he bought.
Her daughter Zhu Min just returned from the Soviet Union, did not understand the "planned economy" life at home, and still spent money lavishly as usual. Zhu De was very dissatisfied with this, and after criticizing her for teaching her how to live thriftily.
In such an environment, the Zhu De family has always maintained the simple style of working people, and their clothes and shoes are always worn as old as possible to avoid extravagance and waste. His own shirt was patched a dozen times, and even the bedspread was almost half rotten, but he never changed it, and he used it until his death, which can be said to be thrifty to the extreme.
Sometimes, when local comrades came to Beijing, they would bring things to Zhu De's house to express their wishes. However, even if it is only some local specialties such as vegetables and fruits, Zhu De refuses to accept them.
Once Zhu De went on a local tour, the local staff was afraid that he would not accept it, and secretly put a few baskets of his favorite pears on the train. After Zhu De found out, he immediately asked the entourage to send it back intact, and since then he has set the rule that no one can accept gifts during the visit, and he is not willing to take advantage of it.
On weekdays, he and his wife and children set up a vegetable garden in the open space of the house. In addition to meeting the daily needs of the family, Zhu De also took the opportunity to teach children to love work and support themselves. In such an education that leads by example and teaches by example, the Zhu De family has formed an excellent family style of thrift and simplicity.
Use your privileges once in your life
Whether during the revolutionary period or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu De always avoided the use of privileges, maintained the tradition of labor, and integrated into the masses of the people as much as possible. After being awarded the rank of marshal, he was also not proud of his achievements, and there were almost no changes in his life.
One night in 1965, shortly after Zhu De lay down, he heard a ringing telephone. He knew that the other party suddenly called him at this time, and there must be something that had to be reported immediately. Sure enough, after picking up the phone, he learned a bad news: his daughter Zhu Min, who is engaged in social education, accidentally fell into a cliff when she was walking home at night.
The other party also told Zhu De that because of the emergency, it was too late to move the vehicle to the place of the accident to search and rescue, hoping to send a helicopter. When Zhu De heard the news, he was eager to save his daughter, and he did not care about any due process, so he immediately called the local air force and ordered an emergency helicopter.
After that, Zhu De waited by the phone until he confirmed that his daughter was out of danger. After calming his mood, he also quickly realized that his transfer of the helicopter was not trivial and could bring great trouble, so he hurriedly wrote a review by hand, which was probably as follows:
"My daughter was badly injured. I want to save her, for which I violated discipline and asked for punishment. ”
Zhu De, who has always been very stable, suddenly got confused in the matter of saving his daughter. In addition to his love and concern for his daughter, Zhu De actually has a deep guilt for Zhu Min.
In 1941, Zhu Min was sent to the Soviet Union to study and work. Unfortunately, Zhu Min fell into a German concentration camp shortly after arriving in the Soviet Union, where he was not released until after the war.
In those years, Zhu Min was completely silent and suffered countless inhuman tortures. Now that his daughter has gone through so many hardships to return to her, Zhu De certainly can't let the tragedy happen in front of him no matter what.
The Party Central Committee carefully considered Zhu De's review and held that although his behavior was improper in accordance with the law, it was, after all, a special circumstance in which human life was at stake, and there was no reason to blame him, and it could be handled on a special basis, and decided to exempt him from punishment.
And the fact that his daughter was in distress was also the only time in Marshal Zhu De's life that he used his privilege as the commander of the army.
Zhu De once said to his children: "You are the successors of the revolutionary cause, not the heirs of my property, and you should pay attention to the cause of the older generation, not the property of the older generation." ”
This sentence clearly reflects the honest and simple family style of the Zhu De family and the excellent family style of serving the people, and at the same time, it also sharply satirizes the black sheep - Zhong Gengci and others.
