Character experience

Xing Yanzi, female, formerly known as Xing Xiuying, was born in 1940 in Baodi County, Tianjin. I grew up in my hometown in the countryside with my grandfather. My father was the deputy director of a factory in Tianjin. In 1958, after graduating from high school, he didn't go back to the urban area of Tianjin where his parents lived. Instead, he went back to his hometown, Sijiazhuang village, dazhongzhuang Township, Baodi County, where he worked as a farmer. He was angry and changed the poor appearance of his hometown. There, she mingled with the peasants and organized a "Xing Yanzi commando" with outstanding achievements.

Original name

Xing Yanzi's name is Xing Xiuying. When Du Yuanheng, the local leader, inspected the work, he said, "you are a good swallow. You can fly across the Yellow River and the Yangtze River." when Ma Li, the Secretary of the prefectural Party committee, met Xing Yanzi in the autumn of 1959, he said that if you remove the name, you will be called Xing Yanzi. Xing Yanzi said: "in fact, swallow is just my nickname. I was born in Beijing. My father chose this one from the three names of Yanjing, Yansheng and swallow. When a newspaper reporter wrote a report, he said the swallow was more vivid. Later, everyone called me Xing Yanzi, but few people knew my real name Xing Xiuying. " at first, this team was not called "Xing Yanzi commando". At the beginning, it didn't have a name. At that time, there was a "iron girl" team, so it couldn't be called "steel girl team", so the name has never been determined. Later, 60 years later, Guo Moruo wrote a song "Xing Yanzi song", and then changed its name to "Xing Yanzi commando team".

Going to the countryside

When Xing Yanzi just returned to her hometown, the production team sent her to the kindergarten as a teacher to take care of more than 30 children running everywhere. It was winter fishing season. It was three years of continuous natural disasters. Fishing, cutting reeds and weaving curtains were the main sideline production to help the villagers through the famine. Xing Yanzi, 18 years old, joined seven young women to form a women's fishing team in beidawatou. They dug holes in 2-foot-thick ice to get off the net. As soon as the net came out, the net rope froze into popsicles. They caught fish in the daytime and braided reed curtains under the lantern at night. In the next three months, Xing Yanzi created a sideline income of more than 3900 yuan for the whole team, which helped the whole team to tide over the famine The Party branch named the women's sideline team Xing Yanzi "swallow commando team". Xing Yanzi is not only not afraid of hardship and fatigue in production, but also diligent and thrifty in life. Her father sent her 20 yuan to make clothes, but she lent the money to the team to buy fertilizer. All members of sigezhuang said that the village had changed with the "swallow team". Xing Yanzi commando's main work is to lift the field to control the salt and alkali. Lifting the field means lifting the field, and the water seeps into the ditch, so the land with crops will not be able to bear the alkali. However, lifting the field is labor-intensive and land-intensive. After that, there are many ways to control the field, such as pulling sand, straw, autumn tillage and winter irrigation. Straw for field is to form straw into small sections. At that time, there was no electricity in the daytime, and electricity was only available when it was dark. The commandos started to do it when electricity was available. They did it all night. After the small sections were made, we went to collect urine the next morning, collected urine into a big pot, and then put water in it, and then put straw in it and wet it, and piled it up after wet Fermentation, this is straw returning to the field

background

Xing Yanzi's father was the deputy director of Tianjin ceramic factory at that time. She was fully qualified to be a worker and could continue to study. At that time, her idea was very simple: "all rural youth should contribute to the construction of a new socialist countryside, listen to the party's words, not empty slogans, but look at practical actions. Agriculture is so important that the party needs to stay in the countryside, no matter what the situation is." However, she chose to return to Sijiazhuang village in Baodi County of Tianjin city to work as a farmer, which happened in the first 10 years of the country's large-scale mobilization of urban youth to the countryside. Xing Yanzi's choice coincided with the call of the Party Central Committee at that time. At that time, it was the most difficult year for the rural areas to suffer from natural and man-made disasters. It was necessary to establish a typical young man who "worked hard, rooted in the rural areas, and ran agriculture in a big way". From 1959 to 1960, Xing Yanzi's deeds caused an unprecedented propaganda momentum in the whole country, and all major newspapers and radio stations reported them one after another.

propaganda

On August 15, 1960, Hebei Daily reported the story of Xing Yanzi with the title of "model of Xing Yanzi's agriculture". At that time, it was the most difficult year for rural areas to suffer from natural and man-made disasters. Many educated young people and farmers who returned to their hometown rushed into the cities to escape the famine. At this time, it was necessary to establish a typical rural youth model of "working hard to develop agriculture". On August 17, the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Hebei women's Federation issued a notice to launch the movement of learning from Xing Yanzi among the youth and women in the whole province. Then the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Tianjin Municipal Committee issued an upsurge of "learning from Xing Yanzi, catching up with Xing Yanzi, loving agricultural labor, and building a new socialist village". On September 20, 1960, the people's daily also introduced the story of Xing Yanzi, which created an almost unprecedented publicity momentum in the whole country. Major newspapers, radio stations, Chinese youth and Chinese women reported it one after another. Even Guo Moruo, then vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, wrote "Xing Yanzi song" to push waves. Guo Moruo wrote: "Xing Yanzi, good example / learn from it Wang Guofan, learning from iron girl / the whole family is in the city. He is willing to stay in the countryside / raise his children in the garden. He can cure fish on the ice and fish are full of nets / the sky is frozen and the wasteland is frozen. He will rush to plant and reclaim wasteland / make the stone grow grain / bear hardships first and enjoy pleasure later / obey the party in all his work. Beidawa turns into a golden and silver nest / swallows form a team and fly across the Yellow River On October 12, 1960, Xing Yanzi joined the party. At the same time, she and the other two typical returned educated youth, national agricultural labor model Xu Jianchun and LV genze, fought against each other and held a friendship competition of "building a new countryside". Rural educated youth all over the country responded to their call. At that time, when the severe famine had spread to the whole country, the labor competition activities launched by Xing Yanzi stabilized the mood of the vast number of rural youth and encouraged their morale of "running agriculture and planting grain". At this time, the publicity of Xing Yanzi reached the climax, and she became a household name in the country. After 1961, the CPC Central Committee vigorously organized urban and rural primary and secondary school graduates to return to the countryside or go to the countryside to participate in agricultural production, and formed a climax. During this period, the media coverage of Xing Yanzi has been uninterrupted, and she constantly published articles in newspapers and periodicals to encourage young intellectuals to go to the countryside. On May 15, 1962, he published an open letter "welcome new comrades in arms to join the agricultural front" in Tianjin daily, and wrote to Hou Jun, a Beijing educated girl, praising her for jumping into the ranks and settling down in the countryside of Baodi County. At this time, she married Wang Xuezhi, a young man from the same village, which once again showed her determination to take root in the countryside forever. After marriage, her family lived a very hard life. Her husband, Wang Xuezhi, had many brothers and had no house, so they could only live together with her grandfather. Ten years later, they built three Adobe houses of their own.

go into politics

In June 1964, Xing Yanzi was elected as the ninth representative of the Communist Youth League. In December of the same year, she participated in the third National People's Congress and was elected a member of the presidium. December 26 was Mao Zedong's 70th birthday. Xing Yanzi was invited to Mao Zedong's family dinner. Mao Zedong refused to let his daughter attend, saying, "she doesn't go to the countryside, she doesn't deserve it." Sitting with Mao Zedong were Chen Yonggui, Wang Jinxi, Qian Xuesen, Xing Yanzi and Dong Jiageng. "I want to sit on the side of the crowd," he said with a smile He gave Xing Yanzi and Dong Jiageng a bowl of rice and said, "young people should eat more and have enough!" They were also given dumplings and pancakes. After the beginning of the cultural revolution, Xing Yanzi published some articles in the newspapers, attended the National Day ceremony in 1966, and later served as a member of Baodi County Revolutionary Committee and a cadre of the commune brigade. In May 1968, Xing Yanzi published an article criticizing Liu Shaoqi in people's daily, cutting off China's Khrushchev's black hand to the educated youth. The main idea of the article is that Liu Shaoqi let the educated youth go to the countryside for three or five years. The purpose is not to let the young people become workers with socialist consciousness and culture, but to let the educated youth go to the countryside to earn the political capital of "promotion and wealth". In 1969, she was elected deputy to the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, deputy secretary of the Party branch of the brigade, deputy secretary of Baodi County Party committee and Secretary of Tianjin municipal Party committee, with 16 official titles on her head. Nominated by Zhou Enlai in April 1973, she visited Japan for one month with the delegation of the China Japan Friendship Association. Then, together with Hou Jun, they took part in the national work conference of educated youth going to the countryside held by the State Council. At the conference, they sharply criticized the phenomenon of leading cadres "going through the back door" and sending their children to join the army and go to university. They hoped that the central government would take measures to stop it, and put forward many suggestions on the housing difficulties, the lack of resettlement funds, and the lack of rations of educated youth . Since then, Xing Yanzi attended the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and was elected as a member of the Central Committee as a representative of educated youth. In October 1975, she and 11 other educated youth went to Xiyang County of Shanxi Province to attend the National Conference on learning from Dazhai in agriculture, and issued a "letter to Chairman Mao's Party Central Committee", which said that they would "work hard with one mind to join the revolution and seriously learn from Dazhai."
