Ting Bartle, a model of hard work and hard work rooted in pastoral areas, with the belief of "letting herders live a good life", has been rooted in pastoral areas for nearly 50 years, exploring new ways to protect the ecology, develop the economy, and promote income growth, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in the production and life of local herders.
Ting Bartle, male, Mongolian, born in June 1955, joined the Party in November 1976, a native of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, former secretary of the Party Branch of Sarulatu Yagacha, Honggel Gaole Town, Abaga Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, deputy to the 17th and 18th National Congresses of the Communist Party of China, deputy to the 10th National People's Congress, and member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In 1974, 19-year-old Ting Bartle came from Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, to join the team in Sarola Tuya Gacha, Abaga Banner, Abaga Banner, Xilingol League. Witnessing the difficult life of the herders and feeling the simple folk customs of the herdsmen, Ting Bartle's heart sprouted a belief, "I want to use my wisdom and strength to let the herders here live a good life!" Ting Bartle soon learned to weed, herd sheep, shear sheep, plant trees, drive tractors, and soon became a "pacesetter" for young people, successively serving as Gacha chief, farm head, and forest farm chief.
With the deep affection that "the grassland needs someone to build", Ting Battle took the initiative to give up the opportunity to return to the city, becoming the only person among dozens of intellectuals to take root in the pastoral area and make a home in the grassland. In 1993, Ting Battle was elected secretary of the Party branch of Sarulatu Yagacha until he stepped down in 2018. He led the local herders to a new path of sustainable development of animal husbandry that protects the ecological environment, develops the pastoral economy, and promotes the increase of herders' income, which not only benefits herders on one side, but also becomes a model for the construction of modern agriculture and animal husbandry throughout the country. From the implementation of scientific zoning and rotational grazing, the construction of modern new pastoral areas, to the active development of fresh milk processing, air-dried meat processing, tourism and other industries, Sarulatu Yagacha has become a well-known wealthy village, and herders have lived in new houses and driven cars.
Today, although Ting Bartle is no longer the secretary of the Gacha Party branch, he is still busy. In recent years, he has carried out extensive research on the construction of infrastructure such as pastoral roads, information networks, and power grids, and made suggestions and suggestions to relevant departments. Ting Bartle was awarded the titles of "National Outstanding Communist Party Member", "National Model Worker", "National Model of National Unity and Progress", "Pioneer of Reform" and so on. At the ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally awarded him the medal.
