Wu Yingpu and Fan Zhenzi took a group photo before their deaths
On the morning of February 25, the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference was solemnly held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and 1981 comrades were awarded the title of "National Advanced Individuals in Poverty Alleviation", and Wu Yingpu and Fan Zhenzi, "post-90s" from Xiushui County (hereinafter referred to as Xiushui County) in Jiangxi Province, were the only couple who sacrificed.
The heavens and the earth are vast, the mountains are silent, and they have come.
Young life, stay on this special battlefield
In the past two days, the news that Wu Yingpu and Fan Zhenzi have won the national commendation has spread in the countryside where they "fought" before they died.
"Wu Yingpu, the first secretary of Yayang Village in Xiushui County and a cadre of the Xiushui County Government Office; Fan Zhenzi (female), before his death, was a government cadre of Dachun Township, Xiushui County, a paired support cadre", seeing the list of "advanced individuals in the national poverty alleviation", the 77-year-old You Chengzi could not help but burst into tears. "If only Fan Zhenzi were still here, how happy she would be to see this situation today!" You cheng said to himself.
You Chengzi, a villager in the cabin village of Dachun Township, Xiushui County, was the object of fan Zhenzi's most concerned help during his lifetime. The old man's wife was paralyzed in bed for a long time, and later died, the son and daughter-in-law worked outside the home for many years, the 3 grandchildren were the age of school, the family was very poor, several dilapidated adobe houses, lived for most of their lives.
"The first time we met, she said, 'Grandpa You, I'll help you in the future, I hope you're satisfied!' Later, she always called me Grandpa, and every time she came, she carried fruits and vegetables and always asked me if I was warm in my clothes. Thinking that I could not bear the weight in my old age, she helped to determine the plan to raise chickens to increase income, and also helped to find sales everywhere. You Chengzi recalled.
On December 16, 2018, it was a Sunday when 28-year-old Wu Yingpu and 23-year-old Fan Zhenzi died when their vehicles fell into the water on the way back from visiting You Cheng. At that time, the two were only 40 days married, and they also left together with fan Zhenzi's fetus that was less than 2 months old. When the rescue team opened the deformed trunk, it also contained 3 native chickens that You Cheng had sold to the county seat.
“...... Do not eat feed, pure native chicken, 35 yuan / kg, a about four or five pounds, deep mountain native chicken, delicious taste, can be delivered to the door ..." This is the last message sent by Fan Zhenzi in the "circle of friends" before his death.
Deep in the mountains, with white walls and gray tiles, the front of the house is open and flat, and the interior is clean and tidy. "Sadako, Grandpa's native chickens were all sold, and i moved into a new house of 120 square meters more than a year ago." You Chengzi said in a trembling voice.
"Without them, our family wouldn't know how long we'd have to live in a dilapidated house!" Seeing on television that China's poverty alleviation battle has won a comprehensive victory, Gu Heping, a villager in Yayang Village, Xiushui County, remembered his Secretary Wu: "The house I used to live in was dilapidated and old, and one night there was a sudden rainstorm, Secretary Wu ran to his home at 12 o'clock at night to check, afraid of an accident, found that there was no safety hazard and left late at night, and later he helped apply for funds for the renovation of dangerous houses, and then helped demolish dangerous houses to build new houses." ”
"A thousand-year dream, a dream today." In the moment of cheering, Sadako and Yingpu were not absent. They use their lives to illuminate the road to poverty alleviation in the countryside, and they will always live in our hearts. Yan Shaobing, secretary of the party committee of Dachun Township in Xiushui County, said.
According to reports, Yayang Village in Xiushui County, where Wu Yingpu was the first secretary of the village, achieved poverty alleviation in 2018, and 286 poor people in The Cabin Village of Xiushui County, which Fan Zhenzi helped before his death, were also all lifted out of poverty in 2020.
Wu Yingpu work log
Talked about a "long-distance relationship" in the same county
Knowing that he was going to help the poor, Wu Yingpu was the first person in xiushui county people's government to sign up. I went to Yayang Village, a deeply impoverished village in Xiushui County, the most remote village in the county seat.
Before going to help the poor, Dad asked him, why do you have to go so far? He said to his father, I am not only the son of the Wu family, but also a party cadre! Take care of your health and help me with my children next year! Wu Yingpu's second sister recalled.
Wu Yingpu entrusted his elderly parents to the care of his sister and brother-in-law, while he took the village as his home and devoted himself to poverty alleviation. Less than a year as the first secretary of Yayang Village in Xiushui County, he traveled to 14 natural villages in the village, wrote 8 work logs, and had a thorough understanding of the situation of 263 poor households. He always personally participates in various engineering projects in the village.
Similarly, Fan Zhenzi also took the initiative to go to Dayang Village, the farthest, deepest and most difficult deep poverty village in Xiushui County, to stay in the village. She wrote in her poverty alleviation diary: "Today the township received the task of going to the countryside to help the poor, I took the initiative to sign up, I want to change the poverty of the villagers." ”

In addition to being a village cadre in Dayang Village, Xiushui County, Fan Zhenzi also hanged up 4 poor households in Xiushui County's Cabin Village, and concurrently served as a full-time vice chairman, organization officer, united front officer of the township women's federation, and served as a township bookkeeper and tax coordinator.
"Fan Zhenzi has a particularly good work attitude, no matter how many work tasks are arranged for her, how far away she is stationed in the village, how far away she helps poor households, she resolutely obeys the arrangement; she is particularly able to bear hardships at work, regardless of day and night, she insists on going to work on weekends, often walks down the mountain road to enter the village, and works with injuries to her feet, and even the marriage leave is only three days." Yan Shaobing recalled.
Opening the video of Wu Yingpu proposing marriage to Fan Zhenzi on the spot, Wu Yingpu said sincerely: "You work in Tsubaki, I am in the village of Restoration, it is true that the two places are separated, but from now on, I will try to take more time to accompany you." ”
However, she was in the northwest corner and he was in the southwest corner. Separated by 126 kilometers of mountain roads, driving for at least 3 and a half hours, and most of the mountain roads on the way, meeting each other has become a luxury. Colleagues quipped that they were in the same county and had a "long-distance relationship."
Less than two months after their marriage, the two contacted by phone and WeChat. As the first secretary, Wu Yingpu often guided Fan Zhenzi to carry out poverty alleviation work. Wu Yingpu's second sister recalled, "The meal at home at noon on the day of the accident was the first time they went home after the two of them got married. At the dinner table, the younger brother is still teaching his sister-in-law to calculate the income of poor households. ”
"Their spirit inspires us to keep moving forward and keep fighting"
Fan Zhenzi's family conditions are good, and her friends once ridiculed her, why did she not do the "thousand gold baby" and came to the township to be a affected civil servant. She also thought about a kind of "a slightly relaxed and comfortable life without thinking too much", but in the end she felt that she should "try to grow and grow into a towering tree".
"I visited many villagers, some of whom were poor households, and they all told me how hard the past days were, and it was the party and the government that did not abandon and give up on them, encouraging them to regain their confidence... Since I have chosen, I should bravely move forward and take on the mission of a grassroots public official - to serve the people. This is the text that Fan Zhenzi solemnly wrote in his application to join the party. The girl who came out of this rich family changed her life choice after seeing the living conditions of the poor households.
"I once advised you not to engage in poverty alleviation, but you said that you did not support your cause, and I was not a friend enough." You say, can I beat you? Dad hopes that we will still be fathers and daughters in the next life, and also be good friends who know our hearts..." After the sacrifice of his daughter, father Fan Youbing deeply felt the responsibility of his daughter, he took out his savings to set up a love fund to support children with difficult families to complete their studies, and he wanted to ask her again in front of his daughter: "Daddy is enough friend, right?" ”
"Ying's deeds have had a great impact on me. He ran to such a remote and difficult place at such a young age, and his family could not take care of it, and he insisted on going deep into the grassroots and mingling with the masses. After his sacrifice, I took the initiative to ask to come and take over, and from his computer, I could see that he had done a solid job before. At that time, I thought that I must do the work at hand and complete the cause that should not be completed in time. Zha Yangfan, the first secretary of the Xiushui County People's Government Office in Yayang Village, said.
"Ying Pu and Zhenzi are representatives of the hard work on the poverty alleviation front, and the changes in Yayang Village and Cabin Village are only a microcosm of the country's comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation." Xu Han, secretary of the party branch of The Cabin Village in Dachun Township, said: "Poverty alleviation is not the end, but the starting point of a new life and a new struggle. The spirit of YingPu and Sadako couple will inspire us to keep moving forward and continue to struggle. (Wu Jing, Han Yadong)
