59 years have passed quickly, but he is determined to "take root in the countryside". How is he doing now? What has he experienced in 59 years?
First, Dong Jiageng: Give up Peking University as a farmer
First of all, let's introduce the origin of this young man. His name is Dong Jiageng. Later, in order to highlight his determination to take root in the countryside, he changed his name to "Dong Jiageng", as the name suggests. Since then, he has been dealing with production all his life.
Dong Jiageng, male, 1940, from Yancheng, Jiangsu. He is clever, diligent and quick-witted. Under the influence of his neighbors, he was interested in farming since he was a child. It is this subtle influence that makes Dong Jiageng make a decision that ordinary people can't understand.
196 1 year, graduated from high school in Dong Jiageng at the age of 2/kloc-0, and his college entrance examination scores far exceeded the score line. According to ordinary people's thinking, this is the best opportunity to leave the countryside, and going to Peking University is everyone's dream.
However, in the choice of further study and returning to China, Dong Jiageng was uncharacteristically determined to return to his hometown. Is it stimulated that the favored one wants to be a farmer with his back to the loess?
Of course not. At that time, going to the countryside was the embodiment of revolutionary enthusiasm and the realization of personal value.
In the early 1960s, shortly after the founding of New China, due to years of wars and frequent wars, New China had no savings and was penniless, and backward science and technology made agricultural productivity extremely low. Dong Jiageng has received a series of studies on agricultural production. The purpose of his return to the countryside is to change the problem of low productivity with the knowledge he has learned, bring benefits to farmers and make practical contributions.
Later, People's Daily summed up the nature of the wave of going to the countryside in the 1950s and 1960s: "Being engaged in agriculture is the main direction for arranging primary and secondary school graduates in the future, and it is also the main way for them to find jobs in the future." This historical trend has changed the fate of countless educated youth. A generation of educated youth linked their personal destiny with the development of socialist construction in the motherland. When the motherland is in trouble, they go to the countryside, stay in the city for idle meals, jump in line to settle down as farmers, sweat profusely and engage in production. Among many educated youths, it is not difficult to understand Dong Jiageng's amazing move.
Second, Dong Jiageng was "rebellious" when he went to the countryside to farm.
Perhaps even Dong Jiageng wouldn't have thought that his behavior influenced millions of young people in Qian Qian at home and abroad in the last century. Both domestic young people and Soviet students were full of respect for Dong Jiageng.
In the praise of the outside world, Dong Jiageng is not so relaxed in the "inner village". If you want to wear a crown, you must endure it. Although Dong Jiageng didn't wear a crown, he suffered unprecedented public pressure after he went to the countryside.
Because many people are confused about Dong Jiageng's choice. After applying for going to the countryside 10, Dong Jiageng County Committee approved Dong Jiageng's request.
Since then, Dong Jiageng began to dream of "traveling around the world with a hoe" and embarked on a long road of serving the countryside. "Returning home to farm, determined to cultivate" was endowed with soul in Dong Jiageng's operation. The countryside is no longer a "displaced and unavoidable" place, but a place to be developed with unlimited potential.
Of course, it is easy to make a decision, but it is difficult to stick to it. After Dong Jiageng returned to his hometown Donghuo Brigade, he became the talk of local people after dinner, and met with endless misunderstandings. It makes sense that people are afraid of famous pigs and strong ones. If Dong Jiageng had gone to Donghuo Village without education, he wouldn't have had a lot of trouble, would he?
However, there is no if. He is not an illiterate person, but a knowledgeable high flyers of Peking University, and his subsequent malice is becoming more and more intensive.
The first is the ridicule from the villagers. Many people in their 500 s think he is stupid in reading, and some people are getting higher and higher in reading. As a result, Dong Jiageng got worse and worse, but he returned to the starting point. Everyone agrees that Dong Jiageng is afraid of being stupid in reading, but despite his high degree, he is still a bit stupid.
Secondly, the opposition from my girlfriend. Before Dong Jiageng made this decision, his girlfriend strongly opposed Dong Jiageng's choice. At any time, girls want their partners to be better and better, and Dong Jiageng's girlfriend is no exception. Dong Jiageng refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on returning to the countryside. His girlfriend broke up with him in a rage, and Dong Jiageng's love ended in his dream.
Later, under the "threat" from her family, her mother was extremely disappointed with Dong Jiageng's decision and made several representations with Lacrimosa, but she could not shake Dong Jiageng's determination.
Faced with all kinds of doubts and objections, Dong Jiageng had mixed feelings in a short time, and he felt the taste of "betraying his loved ones". Will Dong Jiageng give up in the face of the unknown future?
Third, Dong Jiageng: Accumulate and accumulate again, and create miracles repeatedly.
Youth is infinite, and Dong Jiageng put into production regardless of difficulties.
When he first arrived at Donggang Brigade, Dong Jiageng was saddened and helpless when he saw that the local grain output was extremely low. In order to find out the reason of real estate as soon as possible, Dong Jiageng devoted himself to agricultural production and tried to find a way to change it in practice. What you lose, you will gain. After Dong Jiageng "ran away from home and went to the countryside to farm", he lost his retreat and gained unexpected gains.
At that time, China was suffering from natural disasters, and many people did not have enough to eat. In this case, Dong Jiageng overcame all kinds of difficulties, and starvation became his normal state, but he did not regret his original decision. Take "living in a hut, seeing the world, stepping on the mud and caring about the world" as the inspirational saying. How many people can be indifferent to fame and fortune and worry about the country and the people?
During his three years in Donggang Brigade, Dong Jiageng was thirsty for knowledge, pragmatic and capable. He was silent, but he talked endlessly about the farm work in the field, as if the field could help him find the direction of life.
Everything comes to him who waits, perhaps even he didn't think: three years later, he will become a hero of the times sought after by everyone.
1On March 20th, 964, Dong Jiageng's deeds were published in People's Daily, which once gave such recognition: "Dong Jiageng's road is the road that ... educated youth should take." Being able to compare with great men shows how influential Dong Jiageng was at that time.
Fourth, returning to society, Dong Jiageng's fate is ill-fated.
With the development of China's economy, "going to the countryside" has been gradually abolished nationwide, and the market economy has stepped onto the stage of the times. Can Dong Can Jiageng survive this special period? Has Dong Jiageng also been forgotten by the world in the tide?
No, he has created many miracles with his practical ability: Dong Jiageng has incomparable agricultural knowledge and experience. First, he led the villagers in Donghuo Village to solve the problem of grain output. Through long-term investigation and combining with local conditions, Dong Jiageng has worked out a detailed work plan: changing retting field into dry field and implementing rice, wheat, cotton and green manure rotation system. This rotation system can increase soil fertility and grain yield. Under the leadership of Dong Jiageng, the grain output of Dongjiaozi Village has been very high, and the grain problem has been solved.
Because of his guidance, grain can be so high-yield, land can be used optimally, and no one can predict the ups and downs of life.
Although Dong Jiageng was named as a "model youth", he later fell into the trough of his life.
Special period: Dong Jiageng has been receiving reeducation through labor and has been accused of many crimes. He was almost drowned in the Yangtze River by an unknown person. Fortunately, the Chi people in Dong Jiageng have their own blessings. They survived and escaped.
In addition, he was persecuted by the "Red Storm" at 1966; 197 1 was inexplicably beaten into the backbone of 5 16 and was imprisoned for three years. One by one, Dong Jiageng was unhappy, sallow and emaciated. He thought he would spend the rest of his life like this.
Maybe God has the virtue of being good at life. 1974, Dong Jiageng's fate changed, and the government faced his problems again.
1974 12. Dong Jiageng, who was farming, suddenly received a notice from the central authorities that he was going to Beijing, and was subsequently persecuted by the 4th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Committee. However, because of the Cultural Revolution, he was forced to suffer again. Ten years in Dong Jiageng were quite painful.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Dong Jiageng: old age.
Life in Dong Jiageng didn't return to normal until 1982. What happened to him later?
From 65438 to 0982, Dong Jiageng was appointed as the head of a township in Yancheng District, leading the development of local township enterprises. After five years of unremitting efforts, local township enterprises have made great breakthroughs and developments.
1987, Dong Jiageng was appointed as the deputy director of suburban township enterprises. In order to promote the development of enterprises, Dong Jiageng often visited the front line, made field visits, rain or shine, and formulated an orderly development model in combination with local actual conditions, so that local township enterprises could develop in an orderly manner and lead wisely in Dong Jiageng.
1994, the output value of these township enterprises led by him exceeded 100 billion, and the value created by the county he led occupied the 55th place in China, with remarkable achievements.
You know, before going to Dong Jiageng, this township enterprise was economically backward and its prospects were worrying, so it could make a big difference in a short time. I have to say that Dong Jiageng is a veritable "strength faction", and such achievements cannot be separated from his efforts.
In 2000, 60-year-old Dong Jiageng retired honorably and no longer served as the chairman of Yancheng CPPCC. After retirement, he did not forget the people, and always quietly dedicated his strength, shining brilliantly. Students from Peking University became farmers and experienced ups and downs in rural years. How many people can survive without being strong?
