<b>Reporter </b>Yan Haifeng

Recently, the 92-year-old retired cadre of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Liu Yanqing, donated 5,000 yuan to a sick actor he did not know and left his name on the deeds of the story was rumored to be a beautiful talk. People who know Liu Yanqing say that in fact, his economic conditions are average, but he is willing to be charitable, and when the unit makes donations, it stipulates that retirees do not have to donate, and he also actively donates; when he learns that there are people in need of help in the society, he is also generous. Liu Yanqing was devoted to the party, extremely loyal and yearning for the party, and joined the party at the age of 86, that year, only 3 elderly people over the age of 80 in our province joined the party. He not only carried forward the fine tradition of hardship and simplicity, but also taught his descendants to maintain a frugal style.

Although Liu Yanqing is 92 years old, she has a straight waist, a strong spirit, no flowers in her eyes, and no deafness. Talking about his experience in participating in the revolution, he said: "I was born in 1925 in Zhengyang County to a poor peasant family. My parents saw that I was smart among our brothers and sisters and let me go to school. I also did not live up to the expectations of my family and was admitted to Runan Normal School. When we were studying well at school, the Japanese devils called, and everyone was afraid and did not have the heart to study. At that time, I fully understood the principle of 'no country has no home', and I thought about how to fight devils. It just so happened that one of my cousins was an underground party, and when he returned from the field, I begged him to take me to the army. My family persuaded me to finish school, but I was determined not to go to school again, so I did not hesitate to follow my cousin. ”

Liu Yanqing said that he was a soldier in 1943, in the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army. At that time, their leader was Wang Shusheng. Liu Yanqing was a logistician in the army, ensuring the supply of the troops. He participated in the two-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Four-Year War of Liberation, later worked in Xinyang, and in 1965 was transferred to the Zhumadian District Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

"When I was in school, I studied hard, and when I beat Japanese devils, I didn't hesitate to kill my life. You see, I have a lot of scars on my head and body. Liu Yanqing said, "Unfortunately, I have never joined the party, and becoming a member of the Chinese Communist Party has become my greatest wish." ”

Liu Yanqing is a person who came from the war-torn era and cherishes his work very much. "He was a leader in the unit at that time, very caring for his colleagues, always and everywhere loving to think about others. He doesn't love people, he doesn't let others do what he can do, he doesn't have a little shelf, and everyone respects him. Qiu Xinmin, deputy division-level researcher of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said.

During the Cultural Revolution, Liu Yanqing was mistakenly branded as a "rightist," "secret agent," and "reactionary, and was sent to Xiping for labor reform, but he always believed that the party would eventually return his innocence. In 1978, Liu Yanqing was finally rehabilitated and reinstated as an official. "After I went to work again, I began to write the party application, but at that time, for various reasons, there was no reply." Liu Yanqing said, "But I am not discouraged at all, and I write the party application every year until I leave." After leaving, I still insisted on writing the party application. "The application for joining the party is written by Liu Yanqing himself, and all the words written are from his own heart, and he never lets his children ghostwrite it."

In 2011, Liu Yanqing finally waited for the opportunity. His unremitting demand to join the party alarmed Li Ming, then member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Li Ming said: For an old comrade who is so loyal and loving to the party, we must let him join the party organization and report his deeds to the province. Li Ming was deeply moved by the deeds of the elderly Liu Yanqing and wrote an article about it and published it in the provincial newspapers and periodicals at that time. 2011 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the founding of the party, and rushing to join the party in this year is very meaningful to Liu Yanqing. That year, a total of 3 elderly people over the age of 80 in our province joined the party. Liu Yanqing said: "I am an old comrade and a new party member, and after I joined the revolution, I recognized that the Communist Party is the most trustworthy party. ”

Qiu Xinmin said: "The consciousness of the elderly is very high, as soon as our unit has donation activities, as long as he hears about it, he always actively donates and donates materials, and the amount of donation is not small." In fact, the unit has regulations that retirees do not have to donate, but he must donate. His family's economic conditions are very average, he often takes his own medicine, and in the past few years his young daughter has spent a lot of money on her serious illness, but he is just charitable. He was also a very low-key person who did good things and never said them to others. "When creating the article, the old man did not contribute less, taking the initiative to clean the corridor of the family home, and the handrail of the stairs was also wiped by him." Zhou Xintian, head of the old cadre section of the municipal supply and marketing cooperative, said.

Liu Yanqing's eldest daughter, Liu Chunxia, is in her 50s and retired, and often comes to her father's house with her sister to take care of his life. Liu Chunxia said: "My father is a person who does not have high requirements for life and does not like to talk about eating and wearing. A few of us bought him clothes, and he always liked to say that clothes could be worn, there was no need to wear new ones. My father also loved to work and never let himself be idle. You see our yard is so clean, it was cleaned by my father. He not only cleans his own yard, but also loves to clean the pavement of his family's yard. On snowy days, he always cleaned the snow on the pavement of the family home, afraid that others would slip and fall. We as children are also very supportive and understanding of him, and we are proud to have such parents. ”

Liu Chunxia introduced that her father's open-minded, helpful, thrifty and thrifty spirit deeply affected their brothers and sisters, and they are also such people, that is, being kind to people, not worrying about it, and living their own lives.
