Lao Ji's demeanor is unswerving —— An interview with Qian Xinzhong
On a sunny weekend, the reporter came to the beautiful northern edge of Beijing Houhai. In front of a simple old-fashioned bungalow courtyard, an old man, whom neighbors like to call "master", welcomed the reporter into a neat and refreshing small courtyard full of cauliflower beds.
This robust and handsome old man is Comrade Qian Xinzhong, who once served as Minister of Health and Director of the National Family Planning Commission. The conversation began with Qian Lao's healthy life. I saw the 83-year-old Qian Lao with thick silver hair, rosy face and well-proportioned figure. The reporter asked: "You are in such good health, what's the trick?"
"It's really no trick, I just like physical exercise. Choose walking, running, boxing and swimming before and after the sea in summer. These are all activities that allow individuals to exercise freely without the company of others. It is neither troublesome nor restricted by others, so I feel very happy. "
The reporter learned that this energetic social activist has a tight life schedule. Generally, I get up at about 5: 00 in the morning, and exercise at Houhai shore 1 to 2 hours, and work at my desk at 8: 00 to 9: 00, including studying, writing and reading newspapers. In the evening, after watching TV News Network, we will go outdoors for about an hour.
Qian Lao believes that adhering to proper sports activities and regular life is not only for health, but also reflects a person's morality, dedication, learning attitude and pursuit of life ideals. Qian Lao, who devoted his life to work and study, said: "No work, no study is an unimaginable life, and so is his old age."
Qian Lao told reporters that this is how he lived and worked from the Red Army period to the founding of the People's Republic. He believes: "Especially doing some old things can refresh people and delay aging."
From 65438 to 0964, under the direction and leadership of Premier Zhou Enlai, Qian Lao was in charge of the research of contraceptive drugs in China. First, family planning was piloted in big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin. 1965, the rural family planning pilot work was started again, and then gradually extended to control the population explosion in China. In view of Qian Lao's contribution to family planning, the United Nations awarded him the first World Population Award in 1983. After Qian Lao 1985 retired to the second line, he often went deep into the grassroots to investigate and study the health status of the broad masses of the people, with the guiding ideology of "preventing and treating diseases" and "strengthening the body". He also devoted himself to writing New Population Edition and Health Development and Policy-making in China, and to compiling China Encyclopedia of Medicine, completing 93 volumes. Starting from the winter of 1980, he was re-elected as the chairman of China Disabled Sports Association and presided over two national disabled games. 1993 Entrusted by the Ministry of Health, Qian Lao served as the president of China STD/AIDS Prevention Association. In fact, Qian Lao set up the first foundation for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS in China from 1988. Through hard work, in recent years, Qian Lao has played an important role in scientific research, publicity and education, rewarding outstanding workers with achievements, and supporting the scientific research of drugs for preventing and treating AIDS with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, in order to promote the cause of preventing sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS in China.
The reporter said: "You are so old and have such a heavy burden. Why do you arrange your time so tightly? " ? If you have the conditions, you should also take a walk in famous mountains and rivers to combine work and rest. "Qian Lao said:" It is understandable to make proper use of leisure to travel. But let me put down my work and play, I am absolutely reluctant. "
The reporter was interested in Qian Lao's neighbors getting along with him and affectionately called him "master". Qian Lao told reporters: "Because I exercise outdoors, I often meet the masses. Although they know who I am, they have never alienated me as a leader. Say hello when you meet, and call me' Master'. I also like to say hello and chat with them, especially when I hear the names of the old neighborhoods. The people regard me as a partner and confidant, which adds a lot of fun to me! "
Appreciating the vigorous demeanor of the older generation of intellectuals in the Red Army era who were quick-thinking, articulate and devoted to the China revolution, and feeling his broad mind, the reporter's reverence can't help but arise.
