Hello everyone! Today, let's talk about a historical story that you may have heard of, but would never have thought of such an interesting one. The protagonist of this story is Guo Fenglian, who is known as the "Iron Maiden", and the Dazhai spirit she represents.
Speaking of Dazhai, many people may think that this is an old-fashioned topic. But, you know what? Dazhai, a small mountain village, has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 60 years. From the "Agricultural Dazhai" to today's model of rural revitalization, the story of Dazhai has continued, and the spirit of Dazhai throughout it has also been advancing with the times.
So, what is the spirit of Dazhai? To put it simply, it is self-reliance and hard work. Sound familiar? That's right, isn't this the traditional virtue of our Chinese! However, what carries forward this spirit and persists to this day is the protagonist we are going to talk about today - Guo Fenglian.
Guo Fenglian's life is simply a legendary novel. Imagine that a 17-year-old girl actually became the captain of the "Iron Maiden". What is this concept? It's equivalent to you now, when you're still worried about the college entrance examination, people have already led a group of girls to dig the ground and repair terraces in the mountains. Isn't this a living "female man"?
In her 20s, Guo joined the Chinese Communist Party. You know, in those days, it was a big deal to be able to join the party organization. This shows that Guo Fenglian not only has strength, but also brains, and more importantly, she has a heart to serve the people.
In a few years, 26-year-old Guo Fenglian became the secretary of the party branch. This was a remarkable achievement at the time. Think about it, what were you doing when you were 26 years old? You may have just joined the job for a short time, and you are still worried about a promotion and a salary increase. And Guo Fenglian is already leading the people of the village to change the world.
However, life is not always easy. Guo Fenglian also encountered a trough. She was transferred out of Dazhai for ten years. What does it feel like? It's like when you finally became a class president, but suddenly you were transferred to another class as an ordinary student. If it were you, you might have been disheartened, right? But Guo Fenglian didn't. She stood firm in her faith and never gave up on her ideals.
Finally, the opportunity came. Guo Fenglian returned to Dazhai and led everyone to regain the glory of the past. She not only made Dazhai the focus of national attention again, but also became a pioneer in rural reform and development. It's like an old employee returning to the company, which not only makes the company prosperous again, but also leads the company to a new path of development.
Now Guo Fenglian is almost 70 years old. However, she still serves as a representative of the National People's Congress and contributes to rural revitalization. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of Dazhai that never gives up!
Speaking of the spirit of Dazhai, let's talk about it carefully. As mentioned earlier, the core of Dazhai's spirit is "self-reliance and hard work". This may sound a bit abstract, so let's take a look at how it manifested itself at different times.
In the early days, the spirit of Dazhai was embodied in the transformation of nature and the creation of miracles. Can you imagine? A group of farmers turned a stone mountain into fertile land. It's like how much sweat and perseverance it takes to turn a wasteland into a garden!
In the period of reform and opening up, Dazhai people did not rest on their laurels, but conformed to the times and began to transform and develop. It's like a time-honored company that is not satisfied with traditional business and is starting to get involved in new industries.
Now Dazhai has developed very well. With rapid economic development, we have not forgotten to assume social responsibility and help poor areas. This is the spirit of Dazhai that keeps pace with the times.
And Guo Fenglian, as a representative of the spirit of Dazhai, has also been contributing to the society. She pays attention to the treatment of rural doctors, leads China's top ten famous villages to help poor villages, and makes unremitting efforts to achieve rural revitalization. These things may sound a little distant, but they are actually relevant to each of us. Think about it, if the remuneration of rural doctors is improved, will more excellent doctors be willing to work in rural areas? In this way, when our parents and elders are sick in the countryside, won't they be able to get better treatment?
The spirit of Dazhai still has an important significance in modern society. It not only inspires the revitalization of rural areas across the country, but also spreads the concept of "one family of farmers in the world". Does this remind you of the concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind"? That's right, the spirit of Dazhai and many of the concepts we advocate today are essentially in the same vein.
Speaking of which, you may ask: Guo Fenglian is almost 70 years old, and the story of Dazhai is more than 60 years old, what is the significance of this now?
In fact, Guo Fenglian's spirit has been inherited. The story of Dazhai has also continued. They have been contributing to China's development. You see, from "Agricultural Dazhai" to the current rural revitalization, although the slogan has changed, has the spiritual core behind it not changed? That is to make life better through your own efforts.
Think about it, don't we need this spirit for many of the challenges we face now? For example, in the face of employment pressure, we need the spirit of self-reliance; In the face of difficulties in our work, we need the perseverance to work hard; In the face of rapid changes in society, we need the courage to keep pace with the times. Aren't these all modern manifestations of the spirit of Dazhai?
Therefore, history is never a story of the past, but a continuous tense of the present. Guo Fenglian's story and the changes in Dazhai are telling us that as long as we adhere to our ideals and work hard, we will definitely be able to create miracles that belong to our generation.
Finally, let's end today's story with a sentence from Guo Fenglian: "Happiness comes from struggle." "No matter what difficulties you are facing now, as long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to usher in your own spring. This is the inspiration given to us by the spirit of Dazhai, and it is also the truth that Guo Fenglian has interpreted with her life.
Well, that's all for today's story. I hope you enjoy it. Remember, history is not far away, it is all around us. Guo Fenglian's story and the changes in Dazhai are valuable experiences that we can learn from and learn from. Let us work together to inherit the spirit of Dazhai and create the glory of our generation!
