preface
"The prairie eagle folds its wings, and the heroic soul lives forever in the world". This is not only a sad lament, but also a true portrayal of Yun Bulong, an outstanding leader who once led the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region but died in the line of duty in 2000. His life is like an epic of ups and downs, full of thrills from hiding from the enemy in infancy, to the struggle to devote himself to industrial construction after returning from school, and then to the glory of leading the reform and development of the autonomous region in the transformation of the political arena. This article will take you into the legendary life of this "son of the steppe", revealing how he forged ahead in the wind and rain, and how he watered the flower of prosperity in Inner Mongolia with wisdom and sweat.
An industrial genius from a revolutionary family
In the winter of 1937, when the snowflakes caressed the land of Inner Mongolia's Tumut Left Banner, a family of Mongolia revolutionary cadres ushered in a new life - Yun Bulong, whose birth was like the landing of a tough seed on the grassland, indicating the extraordinary future. His father Yun Wei, a graduate of the ninth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, joined the Communist Party of China as early as 1938, and his revolutionary career was as hot as a fire, especially in the Bailing Temple riots, he lit the first fire of anti-Japanese salvation in western Inner Mongolia, and made immortal contributions to the country's independence and liberation.
Yun Bulong's childhood was a flat boat swaying in the storm of revolution. Due to his father's revolutionary activities, his life was shrouded in the shadow of Japan's secret services, and he was still in his infancy, so he had to follow his mother on the road of escape, which was a period of uncertainty and precariousness. However, it was this arduous experience, like the baptism of wind and rain on the seedlings, that forged his indomitable will and allowed him to quietly plant a deep love for the motherland and the people in his heart.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yun Bulong's life finally ushered in the dawn of stability. He studied with hunger and great achievements, like a bright star, shining in the sky of knowledge. In 1957, he was admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Taiyuan Institute of Technology with excellent results, which was not only the beginning of his academic journey, but also a new chapter in his revolutionary career. During his university years, he not only succeeded in his studies, but also honorably joined the Communist Party of China in 1958 and became a staunch communist fighter, and the flame of dedicating everything to the revolutionary cause burned in his heart.
In 1962, after graduating from Taiyuan Institute of Technology, Yun Bulong was assigned to the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Factory, where he was faced with a completely new world, both an unfamiliar environment and heavy work tasks. But with his rigorous attitude and infinite love for technology, he quickly emerged in his work, like a whetstone, constantly sharpening his skills and wisdom. Soon after, he was appointed head of the tool technology inspection station, responsible for the technical inspection of products, and this ten years of industrial career gave him a deep understanding of the mysteries of manufacturing and technology, and also laid a solid foundation for his future glory in the political arena.
Over time, Yun Bulong gradually realized the importance of education and scientific research to the development of the region, and like a wise man, he saw the direction of the future. In 1973, he was transferred to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Inner Mongolia Institute of Technology, where he was not only a disseminator of knowledge, but also a guide for innovation and practice. On the podium of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Technology, he not only imparted professional knowledge, but also sowed the seeds of advanced education and scientific research, advocated the teaching concept of combining theory and practice, and encouraged students to go out of the ivory tower, go deep into practice, and solve practical problems. This forward-looking education concept, like a clear spring, nourishes the soil of education in Inner Mongolia and lays a solid foundation for subsequent education reform and development.
With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the focus of Yun Bulong's work has gradually shifted from the field of education to administrative positions. He has successively served as the deputy secretary and secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Mongolia Institute of Technology, the director and deputy director of the Autonomous Region Bureau of Standards and Metrology, and the vice president, deputy secretary and secretary of the Party Committee of the University of Inner Mongolia. The changes in these positions, like the changing scenes on the stage of his life, not only broadened his horizons, but also tempered his administrative skills. In every position, he is full of enthusiasm and wisdom, and is committed to promoting the smooth progress of various tasks. He adhered to the work style of seeking truth from facts, went deep into the grassroots, listened to the voices of the masses, and solved practical problems, especially during his tenure as the leader of the Mongolia University, he actively promoted educational innovation and improved the level of scientific research with the attitude of a reformer, and painted a strong stroke for the development of higher education in the Mongolia.
Leading Inner Mongolia and green development
In the vast and deep land of Inner Mongolia, the spring breeze of 1992 brought a prelude to change. Yun Bulong, the leader who carried high hopes and expectations, was appointed as a member of the leading party group and vice chairman of the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, like a bright star, rising in the grassland sky. This is not only a brilliant echo of his hard work in the past, but also an affectionate sustenance for the heavier mission on his shoulders in the future. As Vice-Chairman, he is like a clever tapestry weaver, assisting the Chairman in weaving the warp and weft of the day-to-day operation of the government, taking charge of specific areas, and participating in the drawing of a grand blueprint for the development of the Autonomous Region, each of which is full of thoughtfulness and foresight.
Yun Bulong is well aware of the unique charm and challenges of Inner Mongolia as a border ethnic minority region, and his heart is full of enthusiasm for accelerating economic development, improving people's livelihood and maintaining stability. Like a diligent traveler, he measured every inch of the grassland with his footsteps, and echoed every call of the masses in his ears, and these voices converged into a river, providing an inexhaustible source for him to formulate policies that are close to the people's hearts and in line with reality.
In the autumn of 1994, Yun Bulong added another important responsibility, concurrently serving as secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In this new role, he is like an iron-fisted and impartial guardian, resolutely carrying out the central authorities' orders on the building of a clean and honest government and the struggle against corruption, and severely punishing those who violate discipline and law with a posture of no forbidden areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, so that the haze of corruption has nowhere to hide. At the same time, he is more like a wise gardener, focusing on source management, sowing the seeds of corruption prevention, cultivating oases of honesty and integrity, and injecting vitality into the political ecology of the autonomous region.
With the surging tide of reform and opening up and the gradual establishment of a socialist market economic system, the Mongolia autonomous region has stood at a turning point in history, facing both once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and unprecedented challenges. Yun Bulong, the leader of the autonomous regional government, resolutely threw himself into the torrent of reform and development. Like a profound thinker, he conducted in-depth research, collected opinions from a wide range of people, combined with the actual situation of Inner Mongolia, and outlined a forward-looking and innovative development blueprint. He stressed that it is necessary to rely on the ecological and resource advantages of Inner Mongolia to make green industry and circular economy a strong engine for the development of the autonomous region; It is necessary to strengthen infrastructure construction, build nests to attract phoenixes, and improve the investment environment; It is necessary to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises and stimulate the inherent vitality and competitiveness of enterprises; It is all the more necessary to attach importance to the development of education, science and technology, culture, and other social undertakings, so as to lay a solid foundation for all-round economic and social progress.
In January 1998, the cold winter wind was still biting, but at the first session of the Ninth People's Congress of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a warm and firm force was gathering. Yun Bulong, the newly elected chairman of the government, stands at a new starting point in history, staring at the gap between the autonomous region and the developed regions, and his heart is full of heavy responsibilities and missions. In his inaugural speech, although his rhetoric was not flowery, he was full of eloquence: "Under the strong leadership of the autonomous regional party committee, the new government will unite and rely on the cadres and masses of all nationalities to speed up economic development and promote social progress." This is not only a political declaration thrown into the future, but also his solemn commitment to the future of Inner Mongolia, every word is full of his deep love and responsibility for this land.
Yun Bulong knows that the treasure of Inner Mongolia lies in its unique ecology and rich resources. He proposed that we should rely on these unique advantages, take the market as the guide, and focus on efficiency, and vigorously develop the green industry. This is not a spur-of-the-moment move, but a deliberate strategic choice. He personally went to the grassroots, walked through the mountains and rivers of the grassland, shared weal and woe with the herdsmen, listened to their voices, and felt their warmth and coldness. On this basis, he formulated and implemented the "Decision on Vigorously Strengthening the Development of Green Industry in Inner Mongolia", which is like a fresh spring breeze, blowing in every corner of Inner Mongolia, effectively promoting the optimization of the economic structure and industrial upgrading of the whole region, and making the green road of Inner Mongolia broader and broader.
A practitioner of deep friendship among the people
In the steppes of Inner Mongolia, the development of green industry is like a clear spring, which not only nourishes the economic context of this ancient land, but also gives it unprecedented vitality and vitality. Yun Bulong, the far-sighted leader, knows that the ship of economic development cannot sail to the reef that destroys the environment, and he firmly grasps the compass of sustainable development, vowing to let the green waters and green mountains of the inner Mongolia bloom with the light of gold and silver.
However, Yun Bulong's vision is not limited to the picture of economic prosperity, and he has a heavier responsibility in his heart - poverty alleviation. In this vast land, there are still many corners where the shadow of poverty lurks, and the people there are like forgotten flowers, longing for the warmth of the sun and the moisture of the rain. Yun Bulong regards poverty alleviation and prosperity in rural and pastoral areas as the sacred mission of the government's work, and he knows that only by allowing every inch of land in poor areas to bloom with rich flowers can the tree of development in Inner Mongolia take deep roots and grow strongly.
As a result, a series of poverty alleviation policies and measures have been sprinkled like Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant, from the foundation of infrastructure to the fertilization of industrial support, from the sunshine of education poverty alleviation to the nourishment of medical assistance, each policy contains Yunburon's deep friendship for the people in poor areas, just like a loving father's ardent expectations for his children. He personally stepped on the threshold of poor households, had long talks with them, listened to their voices, and lit a beacon of hope for them. With his unremitting efforts, life in the impoverished areas has taken on a new look, and the people's smiles are like Gesang flowers on the grassland, blooming more brilliantly.
Yun Bulong's character has the tenacity and unyielding of a steppe wolf, and in the face of the gap between the autonomous region and the developed regions, he did not choose to retreat, but faced the wind like an eagle. He knows that only by redoubling his efforts can he cross this gap and let the people of Inner Mongolia share the prosperity of the times. Under his leadership, the Mongolia government has formed an atmosphere of unity, pragmatism and innovation, and he encouraged cadres to be like brave riders, boldly explore, innovate, and contribute to the take-off of the Mongolia. He often said: "Each of us is a member of the big family of Inner Mongolia, and the common responsibility is to make this land more prosperous." ”。
Yun Bulong's work style is like a fresh breeze on the grassland, fresh and powerful. He abhors empty words and prefers to be down-to-earth. He often said, "Work is not a verbal promise, but the fruit of action." He asked the cadres to be like industrious bees, use practical actions to brew sweet fruits, and fulfill their promises to the people. Under his leadership, the work efficiency of the Inner Mongolia government has been significantly improved, and the people's satisfaction is like the greenery of the grassland, which is becoming stronger and stronger.
During his tenure, Inner Mongolia's economic and social development was like a galloping horse, green industries galloped on the field of hope, poverty alleviation work yielded fruitful results, and the people's living standards continued to rise like the sunrise on the grassland. Behind all this is Yun Bulong's countless days and nights of hard work and selfless dedication, and he interprets the responsibility and responsibility of a leader with practical actions.
However, fate is always full of uncertainties. On June 12, 2000, this seemingly ordinary day became an eternal pain in the heart of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Yun Bulong, the leader who was deeply loved on the grassland, was in a sudden car accident on the way to investigate the Xilin Gol League, and his life was forever fixed at the age of 62. His departure, like the fall of a giant star on the grassland, not only brought a deep shock to the autonomous region, but also immersed the people of all ethnic groups in the country in endless mourning.
Yunbulon, the name shines with a unique light in Inner Mongolia and even the whole country. His life is a life connected with the blood of the grassland, and a life of dedication to the political ecology and economic development of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He often said: "The grassland is my root, my soul, I can't bear it!" This is not just an affectionate confession, but a true portrayal of his life's actions. He used his life to write a magnificent poem about the grassland, about the people, about responsibility and responsibility, and his name will forever be engraved on the historical monument of Inner Mongolia, shining brightly.
