Li Qingliang, a 51-year-old party member, has deep patriotic feelings of literature and art and always wants to contribute to the development of the motherland.

During the interview, Li Qingliang's thoughts surged and he remembered his experience when he joined the party. He told reporters that under the influence of his ancestors, he had buried a seed of love for the party in his heart since he was a child. Over time, the seed slowly takes root and sprouts.

During his time in the army, he was awarded twice and was awarded the third class of merit in the class. Nearly 20 years of military service have strengthened his ideals and beliefs, and made him determined to always listen to the party and follow the party.
Li Qingliang, a veteran party member: I joined the Communist Party of China in the army, and I was very excited at that time. I was a soldier in 1968 and joined the Party in 1970, because before joining the Party, our class was in charge of the reform project, and at that time, I was awarded the third class of the class collective.
After retiring from the army in 1976, Li Qingliang has been engaged in literary and artistic work, and his short drama "Embarrassing Gift" won the third prize of the Ministry of Culture's Qunwen, the choreographer sketch "Screw Hat", Huiyang Hakka Mountain opera "Legend of Gujing" and other works, and won the provincial and municipal literary and artistic works performance award for many times. Li Qingliang told reporters that after retiring in 2009, he always felt that he still had an endless grace and an endless love, and always wanted to contribute to the development and progress of his hometown. So he went back to his old business and guided the community to organize cultural activities.
On the day of the interview, Li Qingliang was at the Huiyang Grand Theater to record a song celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party for the Huiyang District Finance Bureau.
