Awarding words: green mountains and green waters, white hair, he aims to benefit the people; The old horse is squatting, high-spirited and concerned about the future. Clean, since taking office; Dedicate to the last day. In the past 60 years, everything we have done is to live up to the expectations of the people.
Chen Huai, a member of the Selection Committee, said: What can one leave for history, for the country and for future generations? What Yang Shanzhou left behind was a shade of green and a spirit!
Yang Shanzhou has been engaged in revolutionary work for nearly 40 years, and served as secretary of Baoshan District Committee before his death. During his tenure, faced with many opportunities for his family to "transfer from rural areas to non-rural areas", Yang Shanzhou either directly shirked or hid the application form in a drawer until his death. "Everyone went to eat the residents' food. Who will grow crops? Our family is willing to share weal and woe with 800 million farmers and build their own hometown. " At retirement age, the organization wanted to arrange for Yang Shanzhou to go to Kunming to enjoy his old age, but he politely declined again.
Long-term deforestation has destroyed the ecology of Daliangshan and caused serious soil erosion. "I want to do a few practical things for the people." In order to fulfill this promise, Yang Shanzhou plunged into the overgrown Guangming Mountain after leaving office, lived in a house made of bamboo poles and slept in a bed made of stumps, hoping to recreate beautiful scenery for the villagers.
From then on, Yang Shanzhou lived with the staff of the forest farm, planting trees from morning till night, and patrolling the mountains for fire prevention in the rainy season. In the early days of starting a business, there was a shortage of funds. The old secretary transplanted all the dozens of bonsai plants planted at ordinary times to Daliangshan. He even ran to the street to pick up stones discarded by others, and every little makes a mickle, and carried them up the hill with horses.
When he was a forest farm manager for more than 20 years, Yang Shanzhou didn't want any remuneration, but only received monthly food subsidies from 70 yuan. He won nearly 10 million yuan for the forest farm, but never paid a penny privately. I don't know how many roads I have traveled and how much I have suffered. Yang Shanzhou led the workers to plant more than 70,000 mu of trees, and the forest coverage rate of the forest farm exceeded 87%. He built a forest road of 18 km and set up more than 4 kilometers of transmission lines.
