After the minister was left behind...

Write on the front

What do the remaining cadres do? What to do? Zhao Xuelu, former director of the People's Armed Forces Department of Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province, gave his own answer: "On the military road, I am willing to be a soldier who charges at all times, wearing a military uniform for one minute, and I have to work hard for 60 seconds." "Watching his servants go deep into the Qinba Mountains to help the poor, and watching him lead cadres and workers to overcome difficulties and move into the new camp, who would have thought that he was a cadre who was waiting for retirement and was responsible for temporary work; a person whose wife was sick in bed and was waiting for him to go back to take care of him; and an excellent command officer of the whole army who was awarded the second class merit once and the third class merit 12 times. From a distance, he was a benchmark, a role model; listening closely, his story was admirable and moving.

Why do you do temporary work?

"Improper reform of passers-by, do not let the mission be in arrears"

At the beginning of July this year, the "boots" of the reform of the provincial military district system landed, and Zhao Xuelu, former director of the People's Armed Forces Department of Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province, was left behind. Although it has been prepared, it is still difficult to hide it.

That night, he circled around the camp, looking at the familiar grass and trees, remembering the ignorance of putting on the military uniform for the first time, remembering the excitement of winning the first military merit badge...

Leftover, no post, lack of platform, do or not do? How? Thinking of the successive reorganizations of the people's army in the revolutionary war years, the commander of the army became the commander of the battalion and the commander of the division, but he charged into the battlefield, repeatedly made battle achievements, and did not care about personal gains or losses, Zhao Xuelu wrote in his diary: "Do not forget the original heart, loyalty is like gold." ”

He told himself that he should not reform the passers-by, not let the mission be in arrears, and strive to stand on the last shift for the cause of strengthening the military. He expressed his position to the leaders of the Hanzhong Military Sub-district, staying in the team for one minute, struggling for sixty seconds, and not putting forward any conditions to the organization.

The new camp area of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces was built a few years ago, but it has not been relocated for various reasons. In people's eyes, this is a job that is easy to offend people.

Loyalty to the party, action is more important than a statement. Zhao Xuelu decided to do a good job in the relocation of the new camp of the People's Armed Forces Department as a "touchstone" for testing his loyalty.

During that time, cadres and workers of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces found that Zhao Xuelu went to work earlier, left work later, worked more overtime, and sometimes busied himself until late at night. Find local leaders to coordinate, do relocation mobilization door-to-door, study the distribution plan of affordable housing, and lead cadres and workers to green the camp... Every job is running ahead and doing it first.

Thanks to his efforts, the cadres and workers of the People's Armed Forces Department happily moved into the new camp. Zhao Xuelu did not stop, but every day he still made a full schedule: studying with cadres and workers the rules and regulations after the newly established and operational work, organizing militia detachments to retrain and make up for training, and coordinating the establishment of a mechanism for military-local cooperation and stability maintenance.

Personal development encounters a "ceiling", why should we innovate?

"As long as you don't take off your uniform for a day, you have to do something."

Not long ago, the reporter saw in the Shaanxi Steel Group stationed in MianXian County that hundreds of militia rescue detachments carrying more than 10 kinds of equipment and equipment were assembled in 15 minutes and controlled the disaster situation in 68 minutes. The rapid action benefited from a series of measures taken by Zhao Xuelu in combination with the transformation of enterprises to improve the fitness of the militia team. According to the characteristics of enterprise employment, the scale structure, and the professional classification, he proposed to systematically organize the militia team and regularly train troops in the production gap between the factory workshop, thus realizing the simultaneous improvement of the economic and military benefits of the enterprise.

The leader of the Hanzhong Military Sub-district said: Zhao Xuelu is a good hand in grasping military work, with many ideas and new methods, and he is assured of major tasks.

In the eyes of some people, Zhao Xuelu will retire in a few months, and he is a surplus cadre, and the burden on his shoulders is light, and he will do a good job according to the past path, and there is no need to innovate.

If one takes local interests as the center of the circle, one cannot see the scenery in the distance. Zhao Xuelu felt that the new positioning and new tasks of the national defense mobilization system have brought new challenges, and the concept of thinking should come out of the old system, and it is not possible to "play the lantern by the nephew - as usual."

In a "what to do with the rest of the time?" How does the job work? During the discussion, he took the lead in saying that personal development has encountered a "ceiling", and there is no "ceiling" for the strong military industry, as long as you do not take off your military uniform for a day, you must do a good job.

In recent years, under the impetus of a series of strong measures, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers, and the key is how to recruit talents that are in short supply in the army. In view of this problem, Zhao Xuelu explored a "three-step method": the first step was to investigate and get the "order" for talents in the army, the second step was to mobilize in depth in enterprises and colleges and universities, and the third step was to scientifically transfer qualified soldiers according to the "order". The implementation of the "three-step method" has attracted more professional talents to join the army.

In the article "How the Ministry of People's Armed Forces Adapts to the New Situation of "Small Organs and Big Stages" to Achieve Transformation and Development" written by Zhao Xuelu, he conducts in-depth research on the new functions and new laws of national defense mobilization work under the new system and puts forward many feasible suggestions.

The concept is new, and the effect is good. After zhao Xuelu took the lead in studying the militia scientific training methods, it won the first place in the military training assessment of the provincial military region, and was fully affirmed for its dispatch to participate in more than 60 subject reporting exercises at the higher level.

Career and family are difficult to balance, which one to choose the most weighty?

"Give up the small family to take care of everyone, and serve the country as home"

Some people say that soldiers have a balance in their hearts, one end is career, the other is family, it is difficult to balance. In Zhao Xuelu's view, the choice of focusing on the overall situation has the most weight, but behind such a choice, it means paying more.

One morning in May, his wife texted him: "Okay, don't read it." After reading the text message, Zhao Xuelu sat alone for a long time. He knew that this text message was sent by his wife before she entered the operating room, and he also knew that his wife knew that she would never relax her "cow temper" without taking off her military uniform, and instead came to comfort herself when she needed comfort the most.

When his wife was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, Zhao Xuelu's first reaction was to immediately go home to take care of his wife and accompany her for surgery. But looking back, the ministry is organizing militia training, and the political commissar is empty after retirement, can he leave at this time? So, he quietly hid the matter in his heart.

At night, Zhao Xuelu couldn't sleep. After nearly 30 years in the military, the family has lived a life of gathering less and leaving more, 4 years ago it was difficult to reunite, but he exchanged to the MianXian People's Armed Forces Department more than 400 kilometers away, and these years have suffered from his wife, lost his children, tired of his family, and feelings of guilt have surged into his heart.

After the militia training, Zhao Xuelu took time to return home. When he saw his sallow-faced, frail wife and daughter who had eaten the last meal, he squatted on the ground and cried.

Zhang Huandong, the former political commissar of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces who has been working with Zhao Xuelu for nearly 3 years, said: "Old Zhao is working too hard, almost 50 years old and compared with young people, has not taken a complete vacation, and sticks to his duty post every Spring Festival." ”

The characteristics of the military profession determine that they have to pay more, and the interests of the family are temporarily affected, how to face it? During the study and discussion, Zhao Xuelu replied: "Give up the small family to take care of everyone, and serve the country as a home." ”

Zhao Xuelu can be described as an "iron heart" for his family, but he loves the poor people thoroughly. Poor family Wang Zi'an is disabled, his daughter is in college, and the family survives by raising a few boxes of bees. Zhao Xuelu took the initiative to form a support pair with Wang Zi'an, funding him to expand the scale of beekeeping, and contacted honey sales in many ways.

The "business card" of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces is not polished brightly, and the key is to make the masses of the people feel it. In recent years, Zhao Xuelu has led the Ministry of People's Armed Forces to actively participate in targeted poverty alleviation, led the poor people to develop characteristic industries, coordinated the implementation of project support, and won a round of applause from the people.
