Jiao Yuejin is the second son of Jiao Yulu. The story of Jiao Yulu is well known, and the spirit of "being close to the people and loving the people, working hard, being scientific and realistic, facing difficulties, and selfless dedication" displayed when he was the secretary of the county party committee in Lankao, Henan Province, was called "Jiao Yulu Spirit" by later generations.
After graduating from high school in 1976, Jiao Yuejin joined the team in Lankao County, and in 1986, Jiao Yuejin served as the Secretary of the Party Committee of Dongbatou Township, Lankao County. Jiao Yuejin visited the poor like his father and solved practical problems for the people, and the villagers affectionately called him "Secretary Jiao". Since then, Jiao Yuejin has successively served as the secretary of the Qixian County Party Committee and the chairman of the Kaifeng CPPCC.
In the movie "Jiao Yulu", he shouted to eat braised pork
He was the child who was scolded and cried by his father
Jiao Yuejin said in a self-description, "In my heart, my father is a banner and an immortal monument, which often inspires me, inspires me, and becomes my inexhaustible spiritual source. ”

He wrote that in my childhood memories, my father was always away from home and busy with work, often away from home, and was also very strict. I was just over 5 years old when my father died suddenly on May 14, 1964, and I was still a child who didn't know how to shed tears, and I didn't have a very complete impression of my father who died prematurely. In the movie "Jiao Yulu", the child who yelled to eat braised pork, but was scolded and cried by his father was me, this is a true story. Braised pork was very rare in those days, and it could only be eaten during the New Year's holidays. As I grew older, I often listened to my mother's sincere teachings and my sisters' deep affection, and the image of my father became clearer and taller in my heart. It can be said that I grew up reading my father's deeds, reading that extraordinary history, and also finding the direction of my life.

Jiao Yuejin said that after graduating from high school in 1976, I followed my father's footsteps, step by step, from a rural educated youth, a production team leader to a township party secretary, and worked at the grassroots level in the countryside for more than 20 years. In Dongbatou, a place where my father had shed countless sweats, like my father, I ate, lived and worked with the masses, visited the poor and asked the poor from door to door, and immediately tried to solve the problems when I found them, and brought them back to the township for collective research if they could not solve them, and the masses affectionately called me "Secretary Xiao Jiao". I stayed here for 6 years, leading the cadres to add 10,000 acres of irrigated fields, so that farmers could produce more grain. Later, I came to Qixian to work, I worked hard for 8 years, during which I went to Beijing to sell garlic on Wangfujing Street, causing a sensation, and sold Qixian garlic to all parts of the country.
He once went to Beijing to promote Qixian garlic
Known as the "Garlic County Magistrate"
According to Henan Daily on April 27, 2023, "I came to Beijing again to promote garlic from Qi County, Henan Province. On April 26, after 23 years, Jiao Yuejin, the son of Jiao Yulu, entered Beijing for the second time to promote Qixian garlic.
Recalling 2000, Jiao Yuejin bluntly said that he was forced to go to Beijing to sell. At that time, Qixian garlic "increased production but not sales", "high quality has no good price", and the garlic in the warehouse was piled up, which made him worry for a while.
Jiao Yuejin, the former magistrate of Qi County, heard that Beijing was holding an agricultural product fair, he didn't say a word, pulled a few bags of garlic samples, and ran to Beijing. At the fair, he put garlic on the counter in Wangfujing. Worried that there would be no popularity at the scene, he grabbed a handful of garlic in one hand and took the initiative to sell it.

A "county magistrate", who is also a descendant of Jiao Yulu, went to Beijing to shout and sell garlic. Soon, the media rushed to interview, and the capital set off a "Qixian garlic fever". "I didn't have any planning, I was thinking about playing the brand of garlic in our Qi County, but I didn't expect it to be reported by more than 100 media at once. Not long after he returned to the county, the garlic stock was sold out.
"Now, garlic has become the 'golden garlic head' of the masses!" "In the past 23 years, the garlic planting area in Qixian County has expanded from 400,000 mu to 700,000 mu, and the annual output has reached 900,000 tons, ranking first in the planting area and output in the county, and the total output value of the garlic industry has reached 24.2 billion yuan.
Jiao Yuejin has a mantra:
"Back then, my father led the masses to fight poverty,
Now I want to lead the masses to prosperity. ”
Influenced by their father, the six children of the Jiao family are low-key, strict with themselves, never dare to "engage in specialization", and are all members of the Communist Party.
Jiao Yuejin is the fifth oldest in the family, and he is the biggest "official" of the Jiao family. When Jiao Yulu died, he was just over 5 years old. Most of my impressions of my father come from my mother's description and "Jiao Yulu, the role model of the county party secretary".
Jiao Yuejin often said: "When I was growing up, my father was both a spiritual wealth and a pressure on me. "The most common thing my mother said to Jiao Yuejin is that you must not be special, and don't forget that you are Jiao Yulu's son. "Remember, do a good job, you are Jiao Yulu's son, if you don't do a good job, you are also Jiao Yulu's son. ”

During Jiao Yuejin's political career, he was "in charge" of many departments in the township, county, and city, but he never arranged a job for any of his relatives. At a meeting, he said: "At that time, my father was strict with himself, did not engage in special activities, and played an exemplary and leading role in all aspects; I am Jiao Yulu's blood heir, and I will definitely take over my father's baton!"
The people of Qi County called him "Garlic County Magistrate". After he retired from the post of chairman of the Kaifeng CPPCC, he still did not forget to be a good "image ambassador" for Qixian garlic.
Jiao Yuejin has a mantra: "My father led the masses to fight poverty, and now I want to lead the masses to get rich, although the times are different, but they are all to let the people live a good life." ”
