Liu Yang, male, Han nationality, Henan Pingyu, member of the Communist Party of China, born in July 1985, enlisted in the army in 2003, and retired from active duty at the end of 2011. In 2005, he participated in the Sino-Russian joint military exercise of the Peace Mission and was awarded the third-class meritorious service for his outstanding performance. In November 2006, he was awarded once. In 2008, he participated in the Wenchuan earthquake relief and was awarded the third-class meritorious service in the same year. In 2011, he participated in the actual combat exercise of maritime support tasks in Fujian and was awarded the third-class meritorious service. During his service in the army, Liu Yang successively served as deputy squad leader, squad leader, acting platoon leader, and secretary general, and was awarded three individual third-class merits, two collective third-class merits, two outstanding non-commissioned officers, and one commendation. In every post, he was conscientious and conscientious, displayed outstanding military qualities and professional skills, and contributed his own strength to the construction and development of the troops.
As a retired soldier, Liu Yang knows that the development of his hometown currently needs more young people and fresh blood, so he did not choose to work hard outside after retiring, but resolutely chose to return to his hometown to start a business. In 2021, Liu Yang was selected as a civil mediator of the Fengzhai Neighborhood Committee of the Qinghe Sub-district Office of Pingyu County. In 2022, he joined the Pingyu County Cadre Militia, and in 2023, he won the first place in the Pingyu County Backbone Militia Rotation Training and Attendance Assessment, and was rated as an advanced individual by the County People's Armed Forces Department. In 2024, he will be promoted to the militia emergency platoon commander of the Qinghe Sub-district Office.
Work hard and serve the overall situation
At the critical moment of the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, Liu Yang firmly fulfilled his duties and mission. Colleagues remember that a sentence he often said was: "Epidemic prevention and control, I will go first!" In the face of the severe challenges of the epidemic, he has not forgotten his solemn commitment as a veteran, nor has he forgotten his exemplary role as a grassroots party member and cadre. He quickly joined the volunteer service team of party members to fight the epidemic, building a solid line of defense for the residents of the community, and showing the responsibility and courage of party member volunteers.
During the epidemic, Liu Yang's daily work included epidemic prevention and sanitization, checking body temperature, registering entry and exiting personnel, screening returnees, and publicizing epidemic prevention knowledge. Whether it was in the bitterly cold winter or in the scorching heat of summer, he stuck to his post. In the bitterly cold winter, the cold wind was biting, and he checked the outsiders for a night, shivering from the cold, and could only keep stomping his feet to maintain his body temperature. In the hot weather, he wore protective clothing, and in the face of breathlessness and physical discomfort, he still insisted on the front line. "If you haven't registered, scan the code to register first, and get ready after registration." "Everyone, please step back and keep a distance of 2 meters." At the nucleic acid testing site, Liu Yang was wearing protective clothing and constantly reminded everyone that his voice was hoarse. Although the protective clothing restricted his movement and increased his physical exertion, he still stuck to the scene, maintained order, assisted medical staff in testing, and helped people open the nucleic acid system to make appointments for testing. At the end of the day's work, his back was red, but he humorously laughed at himself: "The effect of this exercise is faster than exercise!" ”
During the epidemic prevention and control period, he handed over the burden of the family to his wife, who was also busy, and put the interests of the masses first. Liu Yang said: "Although I feel that I owe something to my family, I think that I must defeat the epidemic, and I firmly believe that it is worth it." ”
Take root at the grassroots level, resolve contradictions and solve people's worries
In the practice of grassroots mediation, as a former veteran, Liu Yang stood on a fair standpoint, dug deep into the root cause of the contradictions, skillfully integrated the mediation work with law, reason and emotion, successfully resolved the contradictions and disputes at the grassroots level, and ensured that the contradictions were resolved at the grassroots level.
In the area under the jurisdiction of the Fengzhai Neighborhood Committee of the Qinghe Sub-district Office, two brothers have had many conflicts and disputes over the years over the issue of their mother's homestead, and they have been mediated by relatives and the neighborhood committee many times to no avail. It is understood that the focus of the dispute between the two brothers is the mother's homestead allocation, which is owned by his mother, and the mother has distributed it several times, but neither brother agrees. As a result, the brothers often had arguments, refused to give in to each other, and even had physical altercations.
In May 2022, both brothers wanted to build their own family home on their mother's homestead, but the two were unwilling to back down, and the dispute escalated and even turned into a physical conflict, posing a threat to the mother's physical and mental health.
The elderly mother sought help in desperation, fearing that her son's opinion would not be accepted, and even more reluctant to see her two sons go to court. Although the mediation team almost gave up and advised them to take the legal route, Liu Yang witnessed the tears on the mother's face and trembling body, and knew her pain. As a mediator, Liu Yang decided to give it a try. Through in-depth understanding, he found that the brothers used to be brothers and sisters, and there must be a hidden truth behind the problem.
Through unremitting efforts, Liu Yang visited neighbors, gained an in-depth understanding of the opinions of family members, and combined with the preliminary investigation of the neighborhood committee and the mother's detailed explanation, he finally found the root cause of the conflict. This fight, in essence, is a struggle between women, and the fight between the two daughters-in-law leads to tension in the relationship between the brothers. Liu Yang learned that the wives of the two brothers did not hesitate to die in order to obtain a homestead, and even threatened to kill their mother, forcing the mother to dare not live in the home. This finding points to the crux of the problem, but it also means that it is more difficult to solve.
After clarifying the direction of resolving the conflict, Liu Yang first conducted legal publicity and education and emotional communication with the two daughters-in-law, emphasizing the importance of harmonious family relationships for the growth of children. With the help of relatives and neighbors, after countless mediations and communication, the two brothers finally signed a settlement agreement in the presence of Liu Yang, and decided to divide the homestead equally and build their own houses. The misunderstandings and conflicts between the brothers were finally resolved, and the mother's face was once again smiling.
The true character of a soldier, fearless and responsible
As the commander of the militia emergency platoon of the Qinghe Sub-district Office, under the leadership of the People's Armed Forces Department of the Qinghe Sub-district Office, Liu Yang led the whole platoon to actively learn emergency skills, improve ideological literacy, participate in military training, and strive to become a great wall of steel that can carry out the orders of superiors, quickly dispatch and achieve victory when natural disasters and wars come.
In 2023, despite facing injuries such as broken arm muscles and herniated lumbar discs, Liu Yang still participated in the combat readiness duty organized by the county People's Armed Forces Department and served as a platoon commander. In the training, as a veteran, he took the lead and strictly implemented the training plan, especially in high-risk projects such as assault boat pile drivers, three-kilometer runs, bomb throwing, etc., and adopted hands-on teaching and one-on-one training to ensure the quality and safety of the training.
During the midsummer training, the pain of lumbar disc herniation became more and more serious, but Liu Yang always insisted on enduring the pain and completing every action in order to provide a qualified standard demonstration. After training, he took painkillers and massaged himself alone to relieve his pain. After rigorous training, Liu Yang's grades in various subjects have reached excellent standards. On dog days in the sweltering heat, the final assessment of the three-kilometer run was carried out. At one point, he took the lead, but the sharp pain in his back made it almost impossible for him to continue. However, Liu Yang knows that he represents not only the individual, but also the collective, and he cannot let personal factors affect the overall performance of the unit, and he cannot drag down the team because of the individual. In the last few minutes of the race, Liu Yang gritted his teeth, tried to take a step, increased the frequency of running, and finally crossed the finish line first. He proved himself with his actions and won honor for the unit.
In the process of interviewing and exchanging with Liu Yang, he did not make bold or beautiful remarks, but said: "If the masses are in difficulty, I can give them a lot of convenience if I do a little more." He reaped the joy of life in serving the people wholeheartedly, and interpreted the life creed of "retirement without fading, always following the party" with his dedication, taking off his military uniform and not changing the true character of a soldier, taking root at the grassroots level to demonstrate responsibility, shining in ordinary jobs, and practicing his original mission in the performance of his duties.
