"Whether you wear a military uniform or not, the dedication is the same. Greeting the horn of a strong country, walking on the road of supporting the army..." The song is the voice of the heart, and this song of the Dongguan Patriotic Support army promotion association sings the true feelings of Mo Haotang's patriotic support for the army. "Veteran Entrepreneur" Mo Haotang is the vice chairman of the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, the chairman (president) of the Dongguan Federation of Industry and Commerce (General Chamber of Commerce), the president of the Dongguan Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association, and the chairman and president of Guangdong Sanzheng Group Co., Ltd.

Among the 10 most beautiful military supporters elected in the country, Mo Haotang was honored on the list.

"I learned about the military from my father." Before liberation, Mo Haotang's father was mainly engaged in underground work of the party, and he participated in the anti-Japanese salvation and national liberation movements with the spirit of not fearing hardships and sacrifices. Mo Haotang often heard his father say from an early age, "The army is the great wall of our national defense, and we do not support the construction of the army. This feeling of family and country in his father also deeply affected him. The heroic demeanor of the soldiers planted a "red" seed in Mo Haotang's heart. "Becoming a member of the military" is his childhood dream. In 1976, when the conscription began, Mo Haotang, like many young people, enthusiastically signed up and then enlisted in the army. With the idea that "if you are a soldier, you must be a good soldier", Mo Haotang began his time as a soldier with a "all-out" fighting spirit. Soon after enlisting, he was promoted from a soldier to squad leader. At the end of the second year, 19-year-old Mo Haotang led a class of tigers and tigers, completed various tasks well, and was awarded the third class merit. In his third year as a soldier, Mo Haotang was selected to study at the Guilin Army Academy, and soon after he was promoted to instructor. At that time, the severity of training was called a grinding 9981 difficulty, and it was common for him to dislocate his arm and grind blood bubbles in training. In February 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, and Mo Haotang walked into the rain of bullets and bullets and endured the baptism of blood and fire. After the war, he was again awarded the Third Class Meritorious Service. Mo Haotang spent 7 years in the army, which had a subtle impact on his life, and his feelings for the army were even stronger. At the end of 1982, Mo Haotang returned to Dongguan and served as deputy secretary and secretary of the party committee of Qiaotou Town, Dongguan City. Under the influence of his idea of "patriotic support for the army", Qiaotou Town has always had a close relationship with the garrison, and has a deep affection for fish and water, which has been rumored to be a good story. In 1993, Mo Haotang turned from politics to business, and in 1995 founded Guangdong Sanzheng Group Co., Ltd., adhering to the enterprise spirit of "tree righteousness, taking the right path, and producing positive results", the company continues to grow and develop. From a soldier to an entrepreneur, Mo Haotang has always maintained the military himself and has the courage to assume social responsibility. Although the business management is busy, once the government and society need it, he does not hesitate to heed the call and does his best to do relevant social work.

"Thick fish water conditions" "the army loves the people, the people support the army, the military and the people are close to the fish and water family"... These words used to describe the unity of the military and the people are not only embodied in writing and verbal, but also in the Love Promotion Council led by Mo Haotang, which has turned them into reality. In 2014, in order to further gather the patriotic support forces in Dongguan, cooperate with the double support work of the municipal party committee and municipal government, build a communication platform between the government and veterans, improve the citizens' awareness of national defense, promote the harmonious development of the military and the localities, and practice the model of mutual assistance among veterans, with the support of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, the Patriotic Promotion Association was established, which enabled the Dongguan people to support the patriotic army on the road of standardization and specialization, and led more social forces to participate in the cause of patriotic support for the military. This social welfare organization that cannot "make blood" through its own operation has become a problem of "where will the activity funds come from". "What difficulties I have to solve, lack of funds I will come to the bottom!" In this year, Mo Haotang served as the first president of the Love Promotion Association and funded 1 million yuan of start-up funds. He will give generously whenever the troops need it. In 2015, the military sister-in-law Wei Ying was seriously ill and in urgent need of treatment, the Love Promotion Association immediately mobilized members and enterprise donations, and raised 123,500 yuan in relief funds in just a few days; in 2017, the daughter of Chen Guangmao, an active soldier, was seriously ill and in urgent need of assistance, the Love Promotion Association issued a proposal, and the donation reached more than 300,000 within 7 days; in 2020, a cadre of the troops stationed in Guanguan suffered from mental illness and had difficulties in resettlement, and the Love Promotion Association immediately raised 400,000 yuan to help the troops solve the problems that had plagued the troops for many years... In order to help solve the worries of officers and soldiers, Mo Haotang donated 1.07 million yuan to 38 officers and soldiers from families in difficulty. "With such a strong backing as yours to escort us, we will not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice on the road to a strong army, and we will dare to charge forward in the face of a strong enemy." Tao Qingwei, the husband of Wei Ying, a military sister-in-law, said the leader of the unit. He also remembers that in 2014, Mo Haotang took the initiative to help build a theater after learning that the troops did not have an indoor theater, and invested more than 400,000 yuan to build a multi-functional film and television hall, which was welcomed and praised by the majority of officers and soldiers. In this way, there are 5 multi-functional studios built to support the troops stationed in Guanguan. In recent years, Mo Haotang has taken the lead in practicing science and technology to support the army and culture, and led the Love Promotion Association to actively participate in the "Double Hundred Support Army Tour" activity in Dongguan, attracting enterprises and individuals to donate about 3 million yuan. In the eyes of the officers and men of the troops stationed in Guanguan, Mo Haotang has always been very concerned about the comprehensive construction of the various units stationed in Guanguan and has a deep affection for the troops and the officers and men of the troops. In the face of the impact of the new crown epidemic in early 2020, Mo Haotang's enterprise was seriously affected, but he still donated 1 million yuan to Wuhan at the first time, and launched the Dongguan Love Promotion Association to urgently purchase 10. The 30,000 yuan Wuhan anti-epidemic troops urgently needed materials, and arranged special vehicles to be sent to the army to support the Wuhan medical team, which was unanimously praised by the officers and men of Wuhan's "war epidemic". In mid-to-late July this year, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, suffered the heaviest rainfall in history, and the city received heavy rainstorms, exceptionally heavy rains and triggered floods. With difficulties on one side and support from eight parties, Mo Haotang's enterprise actively contributed love and help to Henan flood relief and donated a special fund of 1 million yuan to the Dongguan Charity Association to help Henan flood relief. In 2020, Mo Haotang mobilized 15 group members of the Dongkeng Town Federation of Industry and Commerce (Chamber of Commerce), Qiaotou Town Federation of Industry and Commerce (Chamber of Commerce), Dongguan Women Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce, Dongguan Fujian Chamber of Commerce, Dongguan Green Building Decoration Association, etc., to sign agreements with the Municipal Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association and donate more than 1.2 million yuan to jointly build the Dongguan Patriotic Support Army Education Base, edit and publish the "Dongguan Veteran Heroes List" and "Dongguan Veterans Story Collection". From July 22 to 23, 2020, Mo Haotang led a 16-person support-army condolence group jointly composed of the Dongguan Federation of Industry and Commerce (General Chamber of Commerce), the Dongguan Patriotic Support Army Promotion Association and the Dongguan World Guanshang Federation to go to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base in the northwest desert thousands of kilometers away to pay tribute to the 31629 troops stationed in Guanguan who are participating in the annual cross-regional exercise there. In addition to caring for the officers and soldiers in the army, the Love Promotion Association is also the "mother's home" of retired soldiers. Over the past 7 years as president, Mo Haotang has insisted on carrying out work in four aspects: "caring for the military, caring for the veterans, caring for the families of military martyrs, and supporting the veterans to participate in social governance innovation". He personally donated 850,000 yuan and raised funds to establish the "Veterans Mutual Aid and Care Fund", and also carried out many activities to care for veterans. Lu Purun, vice president and secretary general of the Association for the Promotion of Love, said that whenever an important holiday comes, Chairman Mo always does not forget to instruct the secretariat to comfort the disabled soldiers, those who have made meritorious military achievements, and the relatives of martyrs. At present, the Love Promotion Association has successively issued 4.02 million yuan in relief funds to 312 retired veterans with special difficulties. Mo Haotang not only paid for the rescue of veterans from his own pocket, but also enthusiastically supported the job placement of retired soldiers. He has actively mobilized Dongguan private enterprises to care for and support the employment and entrepreneurship of retired soldiers, and his own enterprises have arranged more than 900 jobs for disabled soldiers, retired soldiers and their children over the years. "Finding the right direction, paying the true feelings, condensing the strength, and giving birth to hope." Chen Xiaoshan, director of the Department of Veterans Affairs of Guangdong Province, commented on the Dongguan Municipal Association for the Promotion of Love under the leadership of Mo Haotang.

Mo Haotang often said, "Patriotic support for the army is a cause in which the whole people participate and whose merits are in the future, and the strength of individuals alone is limited, but the strength of the people's patriotic support for the army is unlimited." During his tenure as president of the Dongguan World Federation of Merchants and chairman of the Dongguan Federation of Industry and Commerce, he extensively carried out propaganda on patriotic support for the army and guided non-public economic figures to think of their origins and participate in the cause of patriotic support for the military. Patriotic support for the army is not charity, but responsibility and obligation" Under the influence of Mo Haotang, more than 50 Guan enterprises and 19 private entrepreneurs have become the backbone of Dongguan's patriotic support for the army, donating 18.9 million yuan to Dongguan's socialized military support activities. He often said: "There will always be a figure of Guanshang on the road of supporting the army." "The patriotic atmosphere in society has a great impact on young people, and we do a lot of things for the younger generations to see." He believes that the "genes" of the people's patriotic support for the army still need to be passed on from generation to generation. At the end of 2014, Mo Haotang self-raised more than 300,000 yuan to form a patriotic pro-army team of more than 330 children of veterans in Dongguan, guiding them to actively participate in pro-army activities such as condolence performances and condolence services, making it a new generation of patriotic pro-army force in Dongguan. Zeng Jiaqi is a "second generation of war", and now serves as the deputy leader of the "Wanqi 78 (Guilin) Veterans' Children Mutual Aid Association" in the Association for the Promotion of Love, and often organizes the "second generation of war" to participate in various social welfare activities. By visiting veterans and comforting families in need, they tell more people around them the stories of their fathers' battles and struggles after returning to their hometowns. "We are very touched by the efforts of the Veterans of Dongguan, headed by Chairman Mo, to create the 'Nine Consecutive Championships' of the National Double-Support Model City for Dongguan, and we hope to work with other 'second-generation war' friends to pick up the banner of their fathers and pass on the spirit of their fathers' absolute loyalty to the party and the country and selfless service to their comrades-in-arms." Zeng Jiaqi said. Under the influence of the Love Promotion Association, more and more "second-generation warmen" like Zeng Jiaqi have taken up the banner of patriotic support for the army, and the seeds of supporting the army have also been sown among more students. On January 12, 2020, the Love Promotion Association held a "thousand people waving, paying tribute to the soldiers" to welcome the Spring Festival and send blessings to the cultural support activities. In this activity, in addition to the representatives of Dongguan calligraphers, more than 310 students were specially invited to wave the Spring Festival to send blessings. "We hope to carry out inheritance and education on patriotic feelings of supporting the army in the form of specific activities." Mo Haotang said that the students have integrated strong double support into a stroke, not only sending the most beautiful blessings to the representatives of active military personnel, retired soldiers and military martyrs in Dongguan, but also leaving the seeds of support for the army in their hearts. It is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, it is difficult to do a good deed for a lifetime. Mo Haotang and his enterprises actively participated in poverty alleviation, insisting on the annual "Poverty Alleviation day" generous donations, accumulating more than 10 million yuan; they also donated more than 18 million yuan to the remote and poor mountainous areas of Guangdong Province and donated 16 schools. In these 16 Sanzheng Hope Primary Schools, some children have reached adulthood and enlisted in the army, and a total of 22 children are currently enrolled in the army, and 10 are still in service. All along, Mo Haotang has been deeply engaged in patriotic support for the army and charity, and has donated 110 million yuan in various social public welfare undertakings such as supporting the army and helping the poor, poverty alleviation and teaching assistance, making positive contributions to the patriotic military undertakings in the new era.
