personal anecdote

If we broadcast again, the impact will be bad

Cao DiQiu paid great attention to honesty and love to work. In Yanfu, where he worked, he took the lead in production labor, often loosening soil, fertilizing, watering in vegetable fields, and taking time to learn spinning. After he went to work in Shanghai, he still maintained this fine style of work. He often went to the countryside of Pudong to pick cotton, to the cattle slaughtering farm to remove cow dung, to clean up, and to the construction site to participate in labor.

Luo Baihua, who was then deputy director of Shanghai Municipal Construction Commission, recalled that one day in the autumn of 1959, Cao DiQiu, wearing a blue Zhongshan suit and a pair of half new running shoes, took a bus with some cadres from the general office of Shanghai Municipal People's commission to work at the construction site of Pengpu machinery factory. After arriving at the construction site, the person in charge of the construction site asked Cao DiQiu to have a rest in the office first. He said, "no, we're here to take part in the labor. You can assign us to work.". The person in charge of the construction site arranged young people to carry yellow sand and stones, and arranged Cao DiQiu and several older leading cadres to clean the site. Cao DiQiu said with a smile, "we are here to work. We can't embellish it. We do what the workers do. At this time, he saw a batch of rusty steel which was several meters long and thick at the mouth of tea cup on the construction site. The workers were scraping the rust, so he picked up the scraper, squatted on the ground and started to work like the workers. During the working period, the person in charge of the construction site invited Cao DiQiu to the office several times for a tea break, but they were politely declined. When the workers had a rest, Cao DiQiu still didn't rest. He walked around the construction site and checked all kinds of conditions. At this time, the person in charge of the construction site came to him and said that the broadcast on the construction site should broadcast the news that the city leaders came to work. He immediately shook his hand and said, "it can't work. Why do we have to broadcast when we come to work? We should be the same as workers. Workers go to work by bus. We come by bus. We are far away from workers. If we broadcast again, the impact will be bad. "

The real image of Communists in our hearts

When Cao DiQiu presided over the work of Shanghai Municipal People's Commission, the Municipal People's Commission successively had Sheng Pihua, Jin Zhonghua, Zhao Zukang, Rong Yiren, Hu Juewen and other non party vice mayors. He works with them from beginning to end and gives them full trust and respect. He was not only concerned about their working conditions, but also pointed out many times at the meeting of Party mayors that how to play the role of non party vice mayors is an important issue. In practical work, he set an example and adhered to the system of division of responsibilities of vice mayors under collective leadership. When dealing with the work of non party vice mayors, all written reports will be sent to non party vice mayors for review, processing and issuance. For major issues that need to be discussed and decided at the mayor's office meeting, he always carefully listens to the opinions of the non party vice mayor in charge. In accordance with the division of responsibilities, he also asked the vice mayors outside the party to preside over the relevant meetings and various symposiums of the Municipal People's Committee and handle their respective work.

During the three years of economic difficulties, Cao DiQiu was very concerned about the life of non party people. He often directly inquired about the living conditions of non party vice mayors, deputies to the National People's Congress and other famous non party personages, and listened to the reports of relevant departments on their non-staple food supply. In his busy work, he took the time to visit and receive non party personages from all walks of life, listen to their opinions and suggestions on various aspects of work, and sometimes personally instruct relevant departments to solve their living difficulties. Every festival, he would instruct the relevant departments to ask the well-known non party personages for help. After the death of Sheng Pihua, he not only dealt with the aftermath of Sheng Pihua himself, but also arranged the work and life of his family members. Even in the autumn and winter of 1966, when the Cultural Revolution began, he was still concerned about the safety of non party vice mayors and other non party celebrities, regardless of his difficult situation. He asked the person in charge of the general office of the Municipal People's commission to try to protect several non party vice mayors.

Cao DiQiu's sincere cooperation with non party personages deeply moved the majority of non party personages and won their praise and respect. Some non party personages said with emotion that Cao DiQiu is the image of a real communist in our hearts and is worthy of being a model for the implementation of the party's united front work.

He is so close to us

During the three years of economic difficulties in Shanghai, the supply of non-staple food is very tight. Pork and aquatic products have to be supplied by ticket. Each person has only two or two pairs of pork per month, and the supply of vegetables is also very limited. In view of this situation, Cao DiQiu proposed that the farmland for vegetable cultivation in the suburbs should be expanded from more than 100000 Mu to more than 400000 mu, and the average amount of vegetables on the market should be maintained at about 50000 Dan per day. He mobilized the financial and trade departments to organize a large number of manpower and materials to go to the countryside to help the suburbs grow vegetables and breed. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1962, he personally went to Nanjing and Hefei to ask for support, thus ensuring the supply of pork and peanuts for the people of Shanghai during the Spring Festival.
