My hometown, Shidongyuan, is a composition topic.

People may not be familiar with the origin of caves. Tao Zhu can be mentioned. Most people are familiar with him and know that he is a revolutionary elder, an outstanding leader of the party and the country, and also a son-in-law of Chenzhou (his spouse Ceng Zhi is from Yizhang, Chenzhou). In fact, Shidongyuan is the hometown of Tao Zhu, a remote village in Panshi Town, Qiyang County, Yongzhou City.

Tao Zhu's heart is selfless, which is the style of clean government. The place where he was born is very charming. Not long ago in the spring, my classmates Zheng Jiang and Xin Chen and I went to Qiyang and visited the Cave Garden. I am full of emotions.

Cave source, few pedestrians, no noise, full of peace, you can see Qingshan and Wangyi Reservoir. Tao Zhu's former residence is on a highland in the back hill to the west of the reservoir. From a Little Square, along the stairs, in a short time, you will see two adobe houses with blue tiles, one vertical and one horizontal. This is the former residence of Tao Zhu. Tao Zhu's life story showroom is built next to his former residence (pictured).

Classmate Chen Xinchun said that, in fact, Tao Zhu's former residence was flooded by the reservoir and became an underwater Zeguo.

Stay in the showroom for a while. After coming out, standing in Qishan overlooking the reservoir and the castle peak, the clanking figure of Tao Zhu flashed in my mind. 190865438+1October 16, Tao Zhu was born and raised here. After that, I went out from here, attended the Whampoa Military Academy, moved to the north and south, and devoted myself to the construction of new China.

1958, Shidong Garden is a paradise without reservoirs. In the autumn of this year, tens of thousands of people in Qiyang County entered the mountains in full swing to build Shidongyuan Reservoir to meet the needs of drought relief. After the reservoir is restored and stored, the three villages of Taojiawan, Yuanxing and Baiguo Village will be submerged. Tao Zhu, then secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, lived in Taojiawan. How to move the house in Tao Zhu? The engineering headquarters has encountered a difficult problem. Qiyang County sent someone to report to Tao Zhu for instructions. Tao Zhu said: "Building a reservoir is a good thing, and I want to support it." Immediately, he wrote to his mother and sent a message to the Qiyang County Committee: "The ancestral grave can be moved or moved. It is not allowed to stop working. The reservoir must be repaired and the flooded house can be moved to a higher place. " Unexpectedly, Tao Zhu is so straightforward! Soon, the Taos took action for the first time and demolished the house. Their mother, cousins and nephews lived with relatives, and their grandparents' graves moved out of the flooded area.

196 1 may, Tao Zhu went to the grass roots for investigation and returned to his hometown. Tao Zhu is approachable, which makes the villagers feel no distance. They poured out the impact of the construction of the reservoir-the house was demolished and moved to the mountains, making life inconvenient, and some people had no house to live in. Mother also nagged: when an official grows up, his hometown is gone. Tao Zhu felt that what the villagers said was reasonable, so he said to the local county leaders who accompanied him: "Birds need a nest, too! Repairing the reservoir is a good thing, but immigrants should be properly arranged in advance. " County leaders immediately said that they would deal with it quickly. Later, the construction team came in to help the immigrants build houses, and the leaders decided to build houses for Taomu first. Tao Zhu said, "No, the urgent task is to solve the difficulties of those people in the mountains." And stipulated the "three noes", "my house can't be completed one day earlier than the masses; My house can't be one foot taller and one inch wider than the crowd; The building materials in my house can't be better than those of the masses. Otherwise, don't. "

The old people in the village talked about Tao Zhu's past-the generator was transferred from Guangdong to support the construction of hydropower stations, which made the people in Shidongyuan bid farewell to the history of lighting with oil lamps; It was his care that Shi Dongyuan set up a professional team of reservoir fish culture and a waterworks.

Most of the ancients paid attention to returning home with clothes and pomp, but Tao Zhu's return home was quite different from the ancients. 195 1 year1month 13 days. Tao Zhu, then acting secretary of Guangxi Provincial Party Committee, returned to his hometown for the first time after 25 years. At this point, mentioning his hometown, I'm going to treat Tao Zhu, who has become a high official, to celebrate. Unexpectedly, when Tao Zhu came back, he gave the Qiyang county party committee and government a four-chapter contract-no greeting, no banquets, no gifts and no firecrackers.

Tao Zhu dressed in coarse clothes, with a secretary and guards, took a boat along the Xiangjiang River to Panjiabu. After landing, wearing sandals and a hat, he walked to the cave courtyard. The mother was both happy and surprised to see her long-lost son: people said that he had become a big official. How can he be like a lout? Sister Tao Yuemei couldn't help it: "Brother Hua (formerly known as Tao Jihua), you are a big official. Why do I look like an old long-term worker? " Tao Zhu smiled: "Yuemei, you are mistaken. * * The cadres of the production party are not officials but public servants of the people, no different from ordinary people. "

At that time, the village of Shidongyuan was filled with the voices of Tao Zhu talking and laughing with the villagers, asking questions and being caring. He refused the villagers' banquet and ate farmhouse meals. He likes to eat moldy tofu from his hometown best. The villagers hope that Tao Zhu can bring some nephews out of the clan and arrange a job in the city, so that his hometown people can "get the credit". Tao Zhu said with a smile, "These caves have beautiful scenery, warm in winter and cool in summer. This is a good place. Although there are few grain fields, the barren hills and wasteland are not reclaimed enough, and the forestry production potential is great. Besides, I am a native of party member, not an official in the old society, and I can't do things like' one person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'! "

When Tao Zhu returned to his hometown for the first time, he took several bottles of moldy tofu as a gift. There are no farewell and welcome ceremonies, and there are no banquets. Today, 62 years later, it is still fresh in the memory of Shi Dongyuan's hometown.

Tao Zhu official to * * * the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee member, member of the Standing Committee and Vice Premier the State Council. Tao Zhu died in Hefei at the age of 6 1.969+0. 1.30 due to the cruel persecution of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. 1978, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China rehabilitated him.

"The east wind blows warm blue, and I remember my hometown of autumn scenery the most. I heard that the stream is also fragrant and the maple leaves are full of frost. " This is Tao Zhu's hometown love poem.

After leaving my hometown in Tao Zhu, Shi Dongyuan's voice still lingers in my ears. The fine style of diligence and thrift and noble feelings for the people are the dew that washes people's hearts and the power that inspires people to forge ahead.
