The reporter learned on October 25 that the "I recommend me to comment on the good people around me" activity sponsored by the Central Civilization Office and undertaken by the China Civilization Network in October 2021 has begun.

Tan Huifang is a villager of Mingyang Village, Mingcheng Town, Gaoming District, only because of a promise, she has been guarding the former residence of the revolutionary ancestor Tan Tiandu for many years, which has been passed down as a good story in ten miles and eight townships. Tan Huifang's father was Tan Tiandu's nephew, and out of admiration for her uncles of the same clan, Tan Huifang's mother took on the burden of guarding Tan Tiandu's former residence. This keep is thirty years.
Later, Tan Huifang's brother Tan Fang received the key to Tan Tiandu's former residence from her mother, and the responsibility of the guard fell to Tan Fang. When Tan Tiandu returned to his hometown, he told him to "take good care of this old house", and he kept his promise to take care of the former house until his death in 2010.
When recalling the various deeds of her brother who guarded Tan Tiandu's former residence before his death, Tan Huifang was full of emotions. "My brother has been guarding Tan Tiandu's former residence all his life, and even if he is sick, he can't rest assured, and will urge me to go there to watch." I remember that once he was seriously ill and could not move around, so I went to Tan Tiandu's former residence for him for several days. ”
Tan Huifang silently assumed the responsibility of guarding Tan Tiandu's former residence after the death of her brother. Whether it is windy and rainy, or cold and hot, she always arrives at the post before the tourists visit, inspects and sorts out the former residence, cleans the weeds and scrubs the display cabinet, and explains Tan Tiandu's revolutionary deeds to the visitors.
"Originally, the explanation was not within the scope of my work, but many tourists from afar would ask me about some of the deeds of the 'Three Tans'. The more times I have, the more I have become a volunteer docent, and I always have to let them come to see something and harvest something. In order to better tell the deeds of Tan Tiandu to tourists, Tan Huifang ran around actively searching for information and continuously improving the level of explanation.
In 2015, Tan Huifang also sought special funds to improve the tourism supporting service facilities of Tan Tiandu's former residence. In 2017, Tan Huifang's husband died of illness, and she returned to the guardian house 7 days after her husband's death, "This promise, I will always stick to it." In September this year, Tan Huifang was named a good person in Guangdong.
Citizens who are touched by Tan Huifang's deeds can pay attention to the "China Civilization Network" and "Civilization And Wisdom" WeChat public accounts, and praise, comment and leave messages for Tan Huifang. It should be noted that netizens can only like the candidate once in the month.
