I believe that good people are rewarded.
Ma Shushan, a retired section-level cadre from Hebei Province, reported that a deputy department-level cadre was detained on suspicion of "defamation and false accusation and framing." Counties, cities, and provinces are silent.
In the eyes of many people, this can't be turned over. Perhaps Ma Shushan himself thinks so. However, a dramatic scene occurred: after the Supreme People's Procuratorate personally stepped down, the local government admitted its "mistake" and Ma Shushan was released.

In the news report on the case of the retired cadres who moved to the west to report the secretary of the county party committee, Ma Shushan's personal image was accompanied by a picture, and the most widely used is the picture above. Ma Shushan's body is draped with the ribbon of "The Seventh Moral Model of Qianxi County".
The intention of the illustrated artist is obvious: Ma Shushan is a good person, and his deeds have been officially recognized.
"Ma Shushan will be a bad person, will he do slander and frame-up?" A month ago, when the news of Ma Shushan's local detention spread, Ma Jie, a disabled person from Daigezhuang Village, Xinji Town, Qianxi County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, could not believe his ears. He felt that the government must have caught the wrong person this time.
Ma Shushan and Ma Jie are from the same village. Since Ma Shushan retired in the 90s of the last century, he has been paying attention to five types of people, including old cadres and poor households in various villages, and will send condolences or condolences during the New Year's holidays.
Writing this, the author feels that Ma Shushan's point is very similar to the behavior of leaders in the system. The difference is that one is to pay for condolences with public funds, and the other is to pay out of pocket.
According to incomplete statistics, over the years, Ma Shushan has visited more than 500 people in five categories of people in Daigezhuang Village, with an amount of 100,000 yuan.
This is really a number that cannot be ignored.

Ma Shushan did retire from a leadership position, and it is no wonder that there are traces of leadership in his behavior. Before his retirement, Ma Shushan was the secretary of the party branch of the Qianxi County Agricultural Economic Center (the second-floor unit of the County Agricultural Bureau), with the rank of a senior department.
At the county level, it is an enviable existence to survive until the retirement of the main department, and in the era when the parallel ranks have not yet been promoted.
If Ma Shushan can retire from the "officialdom" in time after retirement, like many old cadres in China, and just do some days of fishing, playing cards, taking grandchildren, dancing for the elderly, reading books and newspapers, and practicing calligraphy, others will have nothing to say. This is completely reasonable and reasonable for the normal life of China's veteran cadres.
But Mashushan couldn't be idle at all. In addition to caring about the lives of the five types of local people introduced above, he also likes to do educational public welfare undertakings. He paid 30,000 yuan to equip the newly built Daigezhuang Primary School with seats, benches and computers, and donated 10,000 yuan to Li Zhuangzi Primary School.
He also paid 40,000 yuan out of his own pocket to restore and rebuild the Daigezhuang Ping Troupe, and purchased costumes for the troupe. What's even more valuable is that after the troupe's influence expanded and generated revenue, when he drafted the company's board of directors, he wrote in black and white that he would not take a penny.
This kind of selfless spirit is really not something ordinary people can do!
According to preliminary statistics, over the years, Lao Ma has invested more than 200,000 yuan in public welfare undertakings such as education and culture in Qianxi County out of his own pocket.

If it is only for public welfare, caring for and helping special groups, at most it can only reflect "goodness", which is something that ordinary entrepreneurs and even ordinary people can do. For Ma Shushan, who has been immersed in leadership positions for many years, he has higher requirements for himself!
Ma Shushan has worked in agriculture for many years and has a wide range of contacts in the agricultural field. In order to make the villagers of Daigezhuang live a better life, he inspected many projects, and finally chose the thousand-acre orchard project of high-quality apples and grape planting.
With a 7-year pension of 200,000 yuan as a risk deposit, he persuaded the village cadres and villagers to start planting thousands of acres of high-quality fruit trees in the local area.
He went into the lives of the elderly, investigated the feasibility of building apartments for the elderly, wrote 35 demonstration reports, and submitted them to the county leaders, and the plan became a reality.
He cared about infrastructure construction and demonstrated the Qingshan Road reconstruction project in Qianxi County, which finally allowed the local government to invest 2 million yuan and finally land the reconstruction project that had been paralyzed for more than 10 years. On the day of the completion of the project, more than 1,000 households chanted about his dedication.
Ma Shushan also took advantage of his wide network and high prestige to introduce local young people. According to him, more than 40 young couples have successfully married each other.

Reading this, the author has the same feeling as many people: Ma Shushan must be a very rich person. Didn't the ancient Chinese say that "if you reach it, you will help the world"!
Actually, quite the opposite. The appliances and furniture in his home have always been very old, as if they were stuck at the end of the last century, and his personal mobile phone is still an elderly machine. He often goes to the public toilet outside his house because he is worried that the water pipes in his house will freeze in winter.
Ma Shushan has been in the leadership position for many years, and it is impossible not to know the way of crushing people to death and being an official at the level of the official university, if he does not "take the risk" to report the secretary of the county party committee, he will always be talked about by people on the list of good people, and his prestige will be as high as ever.
It is foreseeable that after Ma Shushan regains his freedom, he will inevitably encounter resistance to engage in public welfare or infrastructure construction opinions in the local area. But, for the sake of greater justice, he didn't care so much.

In the past few years, a word called "village sage" was more popular, and many places were keen to invite village sages to the local area. This is an ancient concept, and in ancient times, it often referred to officials who returned to the local area after leaving office to continue to exert light and heat, such as Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty.
After Zhang Jiuling returned to his hometown of Lingnan after leaving office, he found that the local traffic was rugged and the common people were living in difficulty, so he suggested to the imperial court to build a mountain road in Da Yuling, so as to connect the coastal and inland and improve the lives of the common people. This suggestion was adopted, and the common people benefited from it for more than 1,000 years.
Ma Shushan's ability and energy are naturally not as good as Zhang Jiuling, but he did not choose to be alone after retirement, but relied on his cognition, ability, and influence to continue to do things to relieve the people's worries and add glory to the government. This is a typical practice of rural sages. The spirit of being upright and not afraid of power in him is even more commendable.
His deeds are of important milestone significance for promoting the construction of a government under the rule of law.
In this sense, we need to promote Ma Shushan vigorously, not just focus on the case itself.
This is the need of the new era.
