Before he left, the local people took the initiative to collect money for Liu Chong, who was about to leave, but Liu Chong was not affected. Later, it was really hard to refuse, so I took a copper coin from it and accepted it symbolically. For this reason, he is called "one yuan satrap"

A short story about Premier Zhou's incorruptible politics.

1, "As the Prime Minister of the State Council, I have failed in my work and I am sorry for the people there."

Premier Zhou's clean politics is deeply rooted in people's hearts, not superficial, but real. In the early 1970s, Dingxi, Gansu Province, known as "human suffering", did not have a soaking rain for more than 20 months. Many people not only lack food and clothing, but also have difficulty in drinking water. At the working meeting held by the Central Committee, Comrade Song Ping of Gansu reported the disaster in Dingxi. Premier Zhou listened to the report, and his face was very grim. He said that every effort should be made to organize the masses, develop production, increase income and change the face. Later, the Central Working Conference held a plenary meeting, at which Premier Zhou said with a heavy heart: "I was very sad when I heard that the people in central Gansu were living in difficulties. It has been more than 20 years since liberation, and people's lives there are still so difficult. As Premier of the State Council, I have failed in my duty, and I am sorry for the people there. " Shortly after the meeting, the Prime Minister sent a working group to Gansu, bringing food, cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other relief materials. A few years later, when people saw that Dingxi people were still wearing the cotton-padded jacket that the Prime Minister personally arranged and distributed, they were all filled with emotion.

2. "As long as I am the Prime Minister, the conference hall is not allowed to be renovated."

Premier Zhou's incorruptibility is extremely majestic, and his influence is unparalleled today. At the entrance of the the State Council Conference Hall, there is a wooden screen with the words "hard work and plain living" engraved on it, which is a portrayal of the Prime Minister's work style. At the meeting in the State Council, people heard the Prime Minister refuse to decorate the conference hall more than once. The Prime Minister said: "As long as I am the Prime Minister, the conference hall is not allowed to be renovated." 1959, in the atmosphere of the Great Leap Forward, the Ministry of Water Resources built a water conservancy construction achievement exhibition hall near Miyun Reservoir without asking for instructions. One day, during a meeting in the West Flower Hall, the Prime Minister suddenly turned to Qian, Vice Minister of Water Resources, and said, "Qian, Mr. He told me that you are building a quite advanced building in Miyun Reservoir. Is this true? " Qian replied, "Yes, this is a water conservancy exhibition hall." The prime minister was silent for a while, shook his head and said softly, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing." Money is ashamed to hear it, and my heart is as uncomfortable as a knife. According to the thinking of some cadres now, the Prime Minister has neither severely criticized nor given instructions to deal with it, and there is neither the deterrent of disciplinary action nor the danger of losing his official position, so he can completely muddle through. However, inspired by Premier Zhou's great personality, Qian returned to the Ministry and immediately conveyed this at the party group meeting. The party group of the Ministry of Water Resources immediately decided to transfer this building worth more than 4 million yuan to a research institute of the First Machinery Department for free, and wrote a profound inspection report to the Central Committee.

3. "Be responsible to the end for those who have been laid off."

1960 according to the policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement", the central government set up a leading group to streamline redundant staff. In order to arrange the life of laid-off workers, Premier Zhou racked his brains. In a draft document on layoffs, the Prime Minister personally added the words "leading organs of the party and government" before the sentence "those who are laid off must be responsible to the end", emphasizing the responsibilities of leading organs. In the draft document, he added a paragraph when talking about the resettlement method of laid-off employees, emphasizing that "all laid-off employees should be properly resettled through various subsidies and assistance". Under his care and supervision, most of the resettlement and living problems of more than 20 million laid-off workers across the country have been properly solved without major problems.

4. "Of course it's wrong for you to lie, but more importantly, we put pressure on you."

At the beginning of 1962, the Central Committee held an enlarged meeting (also known as the 7,000-member conference). During the meeting, Premier Zhou participated in a panel discussion in Fujian Province. When listening to the following comrades' comments on the harm caused to the work and the relationship between the party and the masses by bad styles such as bullying and indulging, exaggerating and telling lies, he made a touching and touching speech with earnest heart. He said: "In recent years, the impure party style has led to exaggeration and lies. We should advocate telling the truth. How do we do this? To tell the truth, leaders must first like to listen to the truth and oppose telling lies. Everyone says lies, depending on the color of the leader. Isn't that the same as the officialdom habits in the old society? ..... Of course it is wrong for you to lie, but more importantly, we are forcing you. " Then, the prime minister stressed that it is necessary to encourage real work, do practical things and achieve practical results. "。 He said: "tell the truth, cheer up, do practical things and achieve practical results." "These four sentences are summed up as seeking truth from facts."

5. "This is much better than what ordinary people eat!"

Premier Zhou's diet is light, with one meat and one vegetable for every meal. Leave the leftovers for the next meal. Never waste one meter and one leaf. The State Council often holds state meetings, which can't be finished after noon, so the canteen makes working meals. The Prime Minister has stipulated that the standard of working meals is "four dishes and one soup", and everyone pays for meal tickets after meals, and no one is allowed to make an exception. After dinner, the Prime Minister always picks up a vegetable leaf, cleans the bottom of the bowl, eats the rice soup, and finally eats the vegetable leaf. When eating, I occasionally drop a grain of rice on the table, pick it up and eat it at once. Some people are puzzled by his frugality. The Prime Minister said: "This is much better than what ordinary people eat!" During the three-year difficult period, the Prime Minister and the people of the whole country shared weal and woe and took the lead in not eating pork, eggs and rice. Once, the cook said to him, "you are so old, you work in the dark and don't eat much." Don't eat coarse grains! " "The Prime Minister said," No, we must eat it. If we eat it, we won't forget the past and people! "
