Laotie, the soldier of the people, the balance of law enforcement;

Lao Tie, a strong man, is our lighthouse;

For the sake of social stability and judicial justice,

You are selfless, burning life,

You are our hero.

Old iron, pioneering cattle, iron bones clank;

Old iron, upright, remain uncorrupted;

Full of affection for the people and sincerity to the party,

You are selfless, burning life,

You are our hero.

-"Song of the Old Iron"

165438+20041the morning of October 28th 10: 45, Beijing Tuberculosis Hospital. After struggling with the disease for more than ten years, a tenacious heart ended its last beating in the sad cries of relatives and colleagues. With attachment to life, love for relatives, colleagues and friends, and love and gratitude for the Party and the people, Tan Yan left this world forever and bid farewell to his tireless trial career.

Doctors, relatives, colleagues and friends have been psychologically prepared for his departure, but when death comes, people still don't want him to say goodbye. The sweaty medical staff started the pacemaker for the eighth time, hoping to drive away his death again. But this time, Tan Yan really disappeared forever. All the medical staff on duty gathered around and silently scrubbed his body and put on clean clothes. They have long been used to death, but they still can't help crying at the moment. Over the years, patients' strong personality has infected them. A young nurse leaned close to his ear and said, "Tan Yan, please go. Tan Yan, we will never forget you! "

The death of an ordinary judge affected thousands of people in Qian Qian. In babaoshan funeral home, people held a solemn farewell ceremony for this ordinary judge. When his ashes were transported to Dalian, Liaoning Province, countless strangers met him at the station, followed by dozens of cars, slowly escorting his coffin. Many taxi drivers pick up and drop off people for free. On the internet, the post expressed people's heartfelt respect and condolences: "A good judge is naturally loved by the people!" "Tan Yan, may you no longer suffer from illness in another world." "Is there a mallet in heaven?" "Tan Yan, did you have a good trip?"

Some people died, but he is still alive. Life at the age of 44 is too short, but he wrote an immortal hymn to the world, singing noble and selfless character and honest and kind human nature. The 44-year-old life is too short, but it has built a brilliant monument for this era and left an eternal light.

After 1996, Tan Yan had to leave the trial post due to illness, but he did not fade out of people's sight. Many readers want to know everything about Tan Yan in his later years. With sadness and reverence, we visited his relatives and comrades-in-arms and collected his handwriting. Small things seem ordinary, but they show a tall figure: in the last few years of his life, he still maintained the noble sentiment of party member and still cared about the sacred cause of trial. He fought tenaciously against the disease and was eager to repay the care of the party and the people. Judge Tie's strong will and noble personality are still shining in the last years.

In the last few years of his life, his loyalty and gratitude to the party became the spiritual driving force for his struggle against the disease. Sincere and kind heart is revealed in words and deeds, showing the noble character and brilliant humanity of a producer.

On June, 2004165438+1October, 2 1 day, the burning life in Tan Yan was only the last ember, which would go out at any time. The medical staff tried their best to put him into a coma again. After struggling with the disease for more than ten years, now he hears the heavy knock on the door of death. He had too much to say, but his trachea was cut and he didn't make a sound for months. He asked his lover waiting beside him to bring a clipboard. His thin hands trembled, and his pen seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Sweat rolled down, and every word was written: "I am an ordinary party member, an ordinary grass-roots judge. I just did a little work that I should do, but the party and the people have given me a lot of honors, and I am often uneasy. Thanks to the cultivation and care of the party and the people, I will follow the party in my next life. My life is limited, and I am determined to dedicate my good years to the great cause of the party. I only sigh that I am seriously ill, and my ambition is hard to be rewarded ... "Writing here, he was sweating all over and fainted again.

A few hours later, as soon as he woke up, he was able to lift his pen again. His heartbroken wife advised him not to write, but he insisted on writing: "As a judge, honesty is the foundation of our life, fair law enforcement is the soul of life, and it is a great shame to bend the law!" After another coma, Tan Yan once again wrote: "I have three major regrets in my life: First, I have contributed too little to the party; Second, there is too little concern for relatives; Third, I haven't finished graduate school. "

165438+1October 25th, three days before death. Looking at his tired wife and tearful son, Tan Yanman wrote with deep affection: "Thanks to the central leadership and party and government leaders at all levels, and to Dean Xiao Yang and the court leaders. It is the party and the organization that have given me a lot of life. "

Before he died, Tan Yan asked his lover to find the Articles of Association of the Chinese Productive Party and the Articles of Association of the China Productive Youth League, and left messages on the title page for party member's wife born in * * * and the son of the Youth League in * * *. His message to his wife is: "Love the Party, be loyal to the Party and encourage Lena."

People are dying, and their words are true. Anyone who is familiar with Tan Yan knows that these words he wrote with his heart are his heartfelt words. Over the years, his loyalty and gratitude to the party have become the spiritual pillar of his struggle against the disease. When he was still in his post, he repeatedly said: "My life is given by the party, and I have to work for the party when I am alive." After leaving his post, he has a strong desire: he must work hard to recover before he can return to his post and repay the kindness of the party.

1July, 1996, the major media in the central government concentrated on publicizing Tan Yan's deeds, and the story of "Judge Tie" touched thousands of kind people in Qian Qian. Tan Yanxian was rated as the national outstanding party member, the national court pacesetter, and the national top ten young guards. In the face of honor, Tan Yan didn't take credit, but felt guilty for failing to repay the care of the Party and the people in his post. He wrote in his diary: "I don't want to get any publicity and rewards for everything I have done over the years. I just want to enrich myself and do more work for the party and the people in my lifetime." The party has trained me for so many years, but now I have to go back because of my serious illness. I am very uneasy and embarrassed. ""In the face of so many honors, I must keep a clear head, not be complacent, and have a normal heart. What I do is what a party member and a people's judge should do. Compared with coke and coke, there is still a big gap. We must redouble our efforts and strive for greater progress. "

After winning many honors, he was more strict with himself and kept a low profile. Once a reporter interviewed him and asked him why he did it. He just said, "Since we are children of ordinary people, we should do something worthy of ordinary people." He has been received by the central authorities and relevant leaders for many times, but there is no photo taken with the leaders on his wall.

From 65438 to 0997, Tan Yan was gloriously elected as the representative of the 15th National Congress of communist party, China, and attended this grand event with passion and joy. He overcame his illness and insisted on attending the meeting while increasing the dose. Whenever the staff advised him to rest, Tan Yan always waved his hand: "I'm fine, I can insist." He listened carefully to the report of the meeting and actively participated in group discussions and various meeting activities. Every night, exhausted, he kept a diary and kept studying. On the opening night of the conference, he wrote down more than 2,000 words of notes to express his inner excitement and feelings.

1996 in the second half of the year, the organization arranged medical conditions for him to rest at ease. In this regard, Tan Yan is deeply disturbed. He always tries not to cause trouble to the units and organizations. On his deathbed, Tan Yan, who was speechless, repeatedly told his family on the tablet: Don't give trouble to the unit. Don't bother Dean Li by phone all the time. Put the car back, or the cost will be too high (the court sent a car to the hospital during Tan Yan's critical illness, etc.). People from my hometown came, and we paid for it ourselves (when Tan Yan was dying, relatives from my hometown came to Beijing to visit). Don't buy high-end food, only ordinary food (Tan Yan can only drink vegetable juice and fruit juice in the last few months). You must spend your own money to buy things, not public funds.

Until the last moment of his death, he remembered that he was just an ordinary party member, an ordinary people's judge, who could only make contributions to the Party and not expect anything. The court prepared his funeral and planned to bury him in the beautiful Dalian Celebrity Garden. Dying Tan Yan firmly told his wife Jia Lina, "It's too expensive there, so don't go. It cost the country a lot of money. We are children of ordinary people, not celebrities. " Jia Lina obeyed his last wish and chose an ordinary cemetery for him. She said that Tan Yan likes to be with ordinary people and let Tan Yan sleep here for a long time, so that he will be more practical and at ease.

Selfless dedication is the most touching aspect of Tan Yan's spirit. During his years in hospital bed, Tan Yan's greatest wish is still to do his best to repay the society.

During the period of 1998, the Yangtze River and Songhua River basins suffered a once-in-a-century flood, and Tan Yan always paid attention to the disaster situation. Despite the hot weather, he personally went to the building of the Development Zone Management Committee and donated 2000 yuan with deep affection. 199665438+In February, an enterprise in Dalian Development Zone donated 20,000 yuan to him with respect, hoping that he would use the money to buy some nutritional products. Tan Yan, who was hospitalized in Beijing, immediately called his wife and earnestly entrusted: "I accepted the company's heart, but the money was transferred to No.1 Middle School in Development Zone. This money can solve some difficulties for students from poor families. " The Women's Federation of Dalian Development Zone donated RMB 1000 to him on behalf of women in the whole region. He wrote a thank-you letter: "Please use this 1000 yuan to buy some books and periodicals for the children in the Children's Palace, so that the children in the development zone can get more updated knowledge." 1998 was elected as one of the top ten celebrities in Dalian. Donate bonus 1000 yuan to a hope primary school in pulandian city on the spot.

Zhou Xiaochao is a student of Chunde Primary School in Dalian. His father died, and his mother raised three young children alone. 1in the autumn of 998, after learning about Zhou Xiaochao's situation, Tan Yan decided to pair up with him and paid all his study expenses for six years at one time. Despite his illness, he took a lot of school supplies and went to Zhou Xiaochao's home with the help of his lover. He stroked Zhou Xiaochao's head and said, "Your mother is not easy. You must study hard. As long as I am alive, I will try my best to provide you with education. " Over the years, he has been paying attention to Zhou Xiaochao's growth. On his deathbed, he told his lover Jia Lina that he would visit Zhou Xiaochao immediately after returning to Dalian.

Tan Yan has always been very popular among classmates, colleagues and friends because of his integrity and nobility, as well as his selflessness and kindness. His heart is full of deep love: love the party, love the court, love his family, love his colleagues, love his friends and love everyone. After Tan Yan died, many people who had contact with him recalled him and couldn't help crying: "Tan Yan is really a good man!" "He is introverted and not easy to express, but he always has others in his heart and is grateful to those who care about and help him. People can see his transparent heart from many details.

At the end of 2003, Tan Yan, who was critically ill, was cut open and could not speak. But he quickly learned to send messages by mobile phone, and often thanked his colleagues and friends for their concern through messages. He is obsessed with those who once cared about him and helped him. Wu Hong, a member of the Central Organization Department, was moved by Tan Yan's spirit and humanity, and always cared about his illness as much as his younger brother. Three days before his death, Tan Yan was still thinking about Wu Hong. He wrote affectionately on the tablet: "Sister Wu Hong, you still miss me when you go out, buy me medicine, care about my illness, and often call me. Thank you very much! " Entrusted by the leadership of the Supreme Court, Comrade Zhou Dewei, the general office of the Supreme Court, is responsible for contacting Tan Yan and visiting him frequently. Tan Yan has always been very grateful to him. Before he died, he wrote the name of Zhou Dewei three times, calling it a benefactor.

Before Tan Yan died, many leaders, colleagues, friends and relatives visited the hospital. Seeing them, Tan Yan is always very happy and excited. 165438+1On the morning of October 28th, one hour before his death, he met his visiting colleague Xia Mingyu. Tan Yan, who had been silent for several months, suddenly shouted: "Mingyu!" Then my eyes opened wide and I was very excited. -how he wishes these people who love him could stay with him forever! But he always indicated that the air in the ward was not good, so don't stay too long. Dalian Development Zone Court sent drivers to wait in the hospital. He told his wife on the tablet: "There are old people and children in the master's house, so let him go back early." 165438+1October 19 Nine days before his death, he read an article entitled "Treating Glaucoma with Bullfrog Skin" in Reference News, remembering that the son of Li Yongchun, a retired colleague, had been suffering from glaucoma blindness for many years, so he specially cut the article and asked Jia Lina to give it to Lao Li.

At the last moment of his life, Tan Yan was full of love and guilt for his family who had been guarding him. /kloc-For 0/7 years, Jia Lina has been guarding his sick lover since he was in his twenties. The reason why I can always keep my deep love for Tan Yan is because of his strong personality. She said that Tan Yan is always so open and friendly. Tan Yan couldn't fulfill her husband's responsibilities in life, but she became a pillar of Jia Lina spiritually. The fire of life is about to go out, but the love of this couple is as lingering as the first love, which makes many witnesses cry. In his last suicide note, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude and concern for his lover. Seeing that Jia Lina was pale, he wrote, "Don't be too tired." Jia Lina was very sad. He comforted him: "I will definitely tide over the difficulties."

In the last few years of his life, Tan Yan was still worried about the trial career he loved and still studied the trial business hard. His heart is still beating with the reform and development of the people's court.

When students talk about Tan Yan, they all say that he is born to be a good judge: noble character, kind heart, hard work, courage to contribute, and tolerance of loneliness. Since college, he has set his ambition in this life: to be a good judge with an iron frame. Colleagues can feel his persistence in his career. Before the media publicized him, he had the nickname "Lao Tie" in the courtyard, because of his selflessness and iron will. Colleagues also composed a song "Song of the Old Iron" for him.

Tan Yan didn't close his eyes when he died. His relatives and colleagues told reporters that this is because he has an unfinished wish: how eager he is to return to the sacred judgment seat in a solemn judge's robe and how eager he is to make new contributions to the people's court. He always felt that he had paid too little before, and only by continuing to pay can he repay the lofty honor and infinite care given to him by the party and the people.

1in may, 996, Tan Yan's illness broke out again, coughing and wheezing, and he had a high fever for more than ten days. On June 5th, Zhang Xiaoming, president of the court of Dalian Development Zone, ordered him to move his desk in order to reassure him. "Be sure to feel at ease and don't always think about work." It was in this situation that Tan left his beloved judicial post.

/kloc-0 At the beginning of 998, after more than one year of careful treatment, Tan Yan's condition improved obviously. He was very excited and felt that he could finally return to his post. After coming out of the hospital, although he was still very weak, he immediately returned to work in the court. There is no elevator in the court, and he is panting every step of the stairs. Well-meaning colleagues scrambled to carry him upstairs, but he stubbornly insisted on going by himself. Considering that his health can't stand repeated, the leader insisted that he continue to recuperate, so he had to give up the idea of going to work on time every day, but his heart was always tied to the trial work and he always went to the court every once in a while. Whenever the judicial Committee meets to discuss a case, he always tries his best to attend. For several years, the disease has been with him, because of long-term medication, he suffered from double kidney calculi. But as long as he feels better, please ask the leader to go to work. He is really eager to return to the trial post.

Tan Yan will never return to his haunted judgment seat. Before he died, he hoped that his wife and son would inherit his legacy: he hoped that his wife would work hard and be a good judge who enforced the law impartially; I hope my son will study hard, be admitted to the Law School of Jilin University, his alma mater, and be a good and selfless judge in the future.

In the last few years of Tan Yan's life, there were always two things piled up beside his bed, one was medicine, and the other was books. He often sends his lover to the bookstore to buy law books. After his death, the reporter looked through his family's books and found that many books had his mark.

Although he is not in the trial post, every time Tan Yan meets his colleagues, the topic is always inseparable from the case. When people come to him, he always asks what cases he has handled recently and how he was sentenced. He hasn't tried this case in person for several years, and he is particularly worried that he is behind the times. He knows that trials have developed rapidly in recent years and the requirements for judges are higher. He is eager to be familiar with the new trial method. Colleague Tan said that every time he tried to communicate with him, he was always hungry.

Tan Yan, who is sick, has always kept the habit of learning about state affairs and legal knowledge through the media. When colleagues visit him, they are often surprised at his knowledge of current affairs. People's Daily, People's Court Daily and Legal Daily are the newspapers he must read every day. News Network, Legal Report and Legal World are his favorite TV programs. June 5438+October 2002 10, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the publication of People's Court Newspaper, he wrote an article "Playing the Strong Voice of the Times" to congratulate: "People's Court Newspaper is not only my close friend, but also my mentor and friend. By watching the news, we can keep abreast of the development status and direction of the people's courts. I am deeply influenced and inspired by the experience of advanced courts and the deeds of model judges. The theoretical edition has enhanced my legal knowledge and insight. The works in the supplement, especially the works created by the judges, let me savor or meditate on my deathbed. "

In ICV (Intensive Care Unit), Tan Yan can't watch TV, but he insists on listening to news and legal programs on the radio. Although reading is hard, he can't live without the books he loves. A few months before his death, he heard Ren Changxia's deeds on the radio, so he asked Jia Lina to buy the book Ren Changxia, read it carefully, and wrote on the title page of the book: "Learn from Ren Changxia, be loyal to your career, and be impartial in justice." The reporter saw his handwriting on several party member study materials: "Father-in-law: I have studied the materials I brought and read them several times."

In his will, Tan Yan said that he had three major regrets in his life, one of which was that he didn't finish his graduate studies. 1998 At the beginning of this year, Tan Yan, who was in good health, heard that his alma mater, Jilin University, and Dalian Maritime University jointly held a postgraduate course in Dalian, and he was very happy to sign up. In three years, despite his illness, he always insisted on finishing all the courses. Because he accompanied her every time, Jia Lina followed her through the postgraduate course, and her legal knowledge was greatly improved. However, before finishing the graduation thesis, Tan Yan was sent to the intensive care unit.

In the last few years of her life, Tan Yan struggled with death with strong will and extraordinary perseverance. In the face of illness, Judge Tie's heroic qualities shine brilliantly.

1March, 989, Tan Yan, who had been tired for a long time, had a high fever for more than ten days. On the day his son was born, Tan Yan couldn't support it any longer and was taken to the hospital by his colleagues. The diagnosis result is "chronic fibrocavernous tuberculosis"-the most serious type of tuberculosis, which is almost incurable. In the face of illness, Tan Yan is always full of optimism and strong will.

Before leaving his job, he still calmly went to work to handle cases. From1July 1993 to1June 30, 1995, it was the most serious day of his illness. 560 working days, his attendance is as high as 5 12 days. After leaving his job, he arranged his daily life in an orderly way, cleaned himself up and tried to get his family out of the shadow of illness. He often walks with his wife and children in a wheelchair, and the family of three is talking and laughing. He likes to play chess with his father-in-law and chat with the old people about current events. He likes watching football, and a wonderful shot will make him yell like a child. As long as he is at home, he will help his son with his lessons every day. When he is in good health, he will personally go to the cupboard to fry some good dishes. He is very humorous. He will sketch his family when he is happy. My son likes to watch him imitate Zhao Benshan as an old woman. He likes listening to music. A few months before his death, he asked his friends to download some folk music on MP3. In ICV, he is often immersed in these optimistic melodies.

Tan Yan has a pair of unforgettable eyes: clear, bright, quiet and persistent. Through these eyes, his magnanimous and kind heart makes people take in everything in a glance After being tortured by illness, these eyes are bigger and brighter. In the last few years of my life, these eyes are always so bright, firm and calm, without despair or sadness, emitting strong and unyielding light. Until an hour before his death, his colleagues saw his eyes shining.

1996 in the second half of the year, the organization sent him to the best tuberculosis hospital in China to provide him with the best treatment conditions. With his strong cooperation, the effect is remarkable. By the beginning of 2003, his sputum culture test was negative, and the doctor declared his disease clinically cured. A miracle did happen to him. At the end of 2003, Tan Yan, who was eager to prepare for work, was sent to the intensive care unit because of an accident.

On the night of June 5, 2003 and February 29, 2003, the disease pounced on Tan Yan fiercely, and the hospital issued a critical notice. The unit began to prepare for his funeral, and colleagues, friends and relatives who heard the news rushed to the hospital to see him for the last time. The medical staff struggled to rescue him and cut his trachea to maintain his breathing. Patients who were sent to ICV at the same time as Tan Yan died one after another, while Tan Yan persisted for 1 1 month. The doctors exclaimed: I have never seen a patient with such tenacious vitality.

In ICV, Tan Yan endured the unimaginable pain of ordinary people and made a final struggle with the disease with extraordinary perseverance. After cutting the trachea, he can only eat through his nostrils. The process of eating is a painful torture, but he knows that only by continuing to absorb nutrients can he maintain his life, so he insists on eating. Two months later, his condition eased and he was able to eat with his mouth. So he insisted on drinking vegetable juice and millet porridge every day. Every time he woke up from a coma, he offered to eat. He has been wearing a ventilator since tracheotomy. He knows that only by taking off the ventilator and breathing by himself can he get better. Therefore, in the last few months of his life, taking off the ventilator has always been his goal.

Life is so fragile, but he is still not desperate. Shortly after waking up from a coma, facing a visiting colleague, he wrote: "Thank you for your leadership, thank you for your comrades-in-arms. You are very busy at work and have come all the way to see me. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will always be full of confidence. " 65438+ 10/7, colleagues Zhao Qiushi and Tan came to visit, and he wrote with emotion: "I almost didn't have a chance to meet! Full of holes, deep cough and heavy breathing, a narrow escape, only personal experience can understand: how beautiful life is. But there is no unbearable suffering and no unbearable sin. " On February 8, he chatted with his lover on paper: "Can our desire to travel at our own expense come true?" On March 1 day, he couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at his relatives in his hometown in Jilin. After his relatives left, he quietly shed tears. Afterwards, he dried his tears and copied two poems: "The vast grass crosses the plain and comes and goes with the four seasons. Wildfire never completely devoured them, and they grew taller again in the spring breeze. " "The Xiongguan Road is really like iron, and now it is one step away." Looking at the words he wrote before his death, the reporter could not help but burst into tears. In the past, Juanxiu's handwriting has become weak and vague, but it shows the unyielding will of the iron judge and his deep attachment to life and career.

Some people died, but he is still alive.

Tan Yan, you have gone, but the song of Lao Tie is still echoing: You are selfless dedication, burning life, and you are a hero in our hearts. We can't forget your innocent and determined eyes, your tall and thin figure, those tear-jerking stories and your ordinary and great life. You are the pride of the people's judges and the pride of our time.

Tan Yan, you're not dead. Tan Yan's spirit of "impartial law enforcement and selfless dedication" is immortal!
