The life of the character
Mao Chuanshu was born in a poor peasant family in the countryside of Longquan Mountain. He dropped out of school as a teenager. /kloc-I entered the county town as an apprentice at the age of 0/3, and my life was bumpy. 16 years old joined the revolutionary work and grew rapidly. 1953 was transferred to Lishui. 1957 was wrongly classified as "Rightist" in Lishui County, and it has gone through 22 years of hardship. In the face of adversity, he stubbornly insisted on self-study and never stopped. No sooner had the reform and opening up ushered in the second spring of life than his wife suffered from an extremely rare disease in the world. He and his wife went to Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing for medical treatment, and went through three years of hardships. Finally, he was successfully rescued in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, which extended his wife's life by 18 years. He wrote "Seeking a Doctor" and novella "Seeking a Doctor in Three Thousand Miles" with his own personal experience, which touched the society. The Book of Seeking Medical Treatment was published overseas in six foreign languages by Zhongjian (now China), the largest foreign language publication in China. In the "International Year of the Family" from 65438 to 0994, Mao Chuanshu's family was rated as one of the "Top Ten Beautiful Families" in Zhejiang Province (the number of votes ranked first) and ranked among the 30 beautiful families in China. "China Today" published the feature "Spring Buds after Winter" again, and distributed a "family photo" for him.
After three years of seeking medical treatment, Mao Chuanshu has entered the year of "know life". He worked hard and made continuous progress, especially in the theoretical research of CPPCC. He has published more than 10 articles with original opinions in the central professional newspapers such as the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Newspaper and Research on the United Front Theory, which has attracted the attention of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the leaders of the Central United Front Work Department. 1994 was invited to participate in the first "CPPCC Theory Seminar in the New Era" held in Shenzhen. At the same time, many articles were reprinted and printed by the provincial government's cooperative learning materials. At the same time, he has also made outstanding achievements in writing articles on foreign propaganda to Taiwan. The story of seeking medical treatment won the first prize in the general evaluation of China Today Chinese edition 10 anniversary, and six articles such as Painting a Bridge with Love (China Bridge Magazine) and Tianya Devil (People's Daily Overseas Edition) won the first, second and third prizes respectively in the evaluation of Taiwan Affairs Office of Zhejiang Provincial Committee. 1989, Mao Chuanshu was rated as "Top Professional and Technical Talent" in Lishui City (county).
After retiring from 65438 to 0998, Mao Chuanshu was hired as a special information officer and a member of Lishui CPPCC. He continued to write diligently and published two local books, My Motherland and My Land and Witness Lishui. He is enthusiastic about the protection of the historical and cultural heritage of the motherland and has made outstanding contributions to the protection of the ancient city wall of Lishui. In 2009, he was awarded the title of "The Second Spark Legend-Outstanding Person of China Heritage Protection" and was commended by the state. After voting, netizens left 86 messages on CCTV. They spoke highly of him and praised him as "the treasure of Lishui".
preservation of cultural relics
Mao Chuanshu was transferred to Lishui in the spring of 1953 and has lived in Lishui for 52 years. He witnessed the changes of the ancient city wall of Lishui-Chuzhou since the founding of New China for half a century. When I first arrived in Lishui, there were less than 30 thousand people in Lishui city, and there were ruins left by Japanese plane bombing everywhere. Except for a few small bungalows outside Liyang Gate, all residents live in the circle of the ancient city wall, and there are paddy fields in the city. Now the city government and the buildings on the north side of Ness Square are rice fields. On the northwest side of the square is a hillside, on which the earliest weather station in Lishui County was built. In addition to the Great Hall of the Workers' Cultural Palace and two bungalows around the auditorium (reading room on the right and amateur school for workers on the left), there is a basketball court behind it, and the rest of the place is a wasteland full of weeds. Huancheng Road follows the foot of the East City Wall, turns north to the current Lighthouse Street, turns west to Zhongshan Street and then turns right to Liyangmen. The city wall is in the middle of Xincheng East Road, but it passes through the match factory in the south and goes straight to Xiahemen. There is a hillside in the match factory, and on the west side of the top is Taibao Temple. Only the rammed soil foundation is left in the city wall, which is covered with grass. There are no bricks. You can walk behind the city, but there are no pine trees. Outside the city wall is a field. At that time, in addition to Liyang Gate and Dashuimen, there were Huxiaomen and Zuoqumen, but the ancient buildings above the doors were gone. 1in the spring of 953, the Lishui county government decided to introduce Haoxi weir water into the city, dig a canal from Haoxi weir outside Huxiaomen to the Municipal People's Hospital, and then lead it to the ring river. Mobilize the cadres and masses in the city to work voluntarily. Mao Chuanshu was in a department store at that time, and the distribution lot (the unit is generally 1 to 2 meters) was in the gap of the wall on the north side of Huxiaomen (now a section from Chengdong Road of Zhongdong East Road to Dayang Road). Dig walls and ditches there. Now the canal is still there, but it has been built into a culvert. In the following decades, the remaining ancient city walls were constantly occupied by public and private houses. A section of the west of the city was occupied by a sports ground (now on the west road outside the grain and oil market). Huxiaomen in the east is occupied by the office building built by the county economic commission. The section from Zhongdong Road to Dengta Street is mostly built by private people. The expansion of the match factory will enclose a large section of the connecting road from Jiefang Road to the south section of Huancheng Road at the intersection of Chengdong into the factory. The ring road was diverted to the outside of the city (there are still two ramps connected with Dayang Road), and the ancient city wall north of Xiahemen was completely excavated and houses were built during this period. The biggest change is the expansion of Zhongshan Street in 1978, and the demolition and burial of the ancient city wall along the river from Dashuimen to Xiaoshuimen. At that time, there was a slogan: tear down Liyang Gate, level the thorn ridge and get through Meishan Back. The original Zhongshan Street just ran from Taipingfang to Liyangmen, which was narrow and short. The mortuary at the foot of Meishan is also a section. In fact, it is an alley with a slope in the south, called Huaciling. Further south is Meishan. At that time, the slogan was to tear down Liyang Gate before the National Day, to level the thorn ridge before New Year's Day and to open Meishan Back before the Spring Festival. A large number of mud stones excavated from Dameishan and Huaciling are dumped on the stream beach at the foot of the Xicheng wall outside the Dashuimen, and piled up flush with the ground wall on the shore, forming a large flat land. Later, trees were planted here and a riverside park was built. Since then, a large amount of construction waste has been dumped into the creek beach outside the city wall, and the ancient city wall on the east side of Dashuimen has also been buried. Over time, later generations did not know that there was an ancient city wall along the river. 1997 when the flood control levee was designed and built, neither the manager nor the designer knew it. Everyone thought there was only one big broken water gate along the river. The walls on the east and west sides no longer exist. Therefore, the flood control levee is designed and built outside the city wall. In fact, the ancient city wall along the river not only exists, but also is magnificent. In March 2004, excavated by Zhejiang Archaeological Team, the buried part was 8-9 meters high. How spectacular it would be if we dug it up and restored the original appearance of history!
Mao Chuanshu is very clear about the burial of the ancient city wall along the river. Lishui CPPCC organized a visit to Taizhou from 65438 to 0996. At that time, Linhai was overhauling the ancient city wall of Taizhou Fucheng. He was very inspired when he saw it. He thought that the ancient city wall along the river in Lishui, if repaired, would be more magnificent than them, but Lishui did not have the financial resources to do it. And I didn't know it was this far. Because as early as the 1980s, Shen Guangyao, deputy mayor (county level) of Lishui City who was in charge of urban construction at that time, wanted to repair the Dashuimen ancient city building. I asked him to help me with the poll. The form he designed was sent by the NPC and CPPCC to NPC deputies and CPPCC members for comments. As a result, most CPPCC members agreed and most NPC deputies opposed it. Some rural representatives said that there was no place for government money to build tractor-ploughing roads for them. What's the use of building towers? It didn't work out. 1987 Lishui City (county-level) Construction Committee plans the southern section of Zhongshan Road, and Jiang Bin Road is planned outside the city wall. 65438+ At the consultation meeting on February 23rd, Mao Chuanshu suggested to build Jiang Bin Road within the city wall and demolish the houses from the south of Jude Street to the vicinity of the city wall. Repair the building of Dashuimen ancient city and the ancient city wall along the river, and provide green space on the inside. Some people agree with this view, while others disagree. Supporters believe that this will have Lishui characteristics, while opponents believe that there is already a riverside park outside the city wall, and there is no need to engage in green space inside. He repeatedly stated that the river was outside the city wall. Binjiang Park is piled up by Meishan mud and stone, which is a barrier in itself. From the perspective of long-term flood control, Jiang Bin Road must not be outside. On the same day, I met Vice Mayor Shen Guangyao in the street and talked with Vice Mayor Shen about the above suggestions put forward at the meeting. Vice Mayor Shen is very supportive and hopes to make this activity meaningful. But then nothing happened. It is not feasible to learn to build a city wall near the sea in Lishui nowadays. It was not until I heard that Lishui was going to be a flood dike that Mao Chuanshu felt that the golden opportunity came.
1997 when he spoke at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth CPPCC Central Committee, he put forward the idea of using it as a flood dike to repair the ancient city wall along the river. On August 29th of the same year, Lishui Daily published his speech at the CPPCC conference. In 1998, at the "Spring Festival Tea Party for Democratic Parties, Federation of Industry and Commerce and People without Party affiliation" held by Lishui prefectural party committee and Lishui regional administrative office, he made a speech and put forward suggestions to the leaders to repair the ancient city wall along the river by using flood levees. Explain that the ancient city wall by the river is the flood dike. After the restoration, there will be the beautiful scenery of the Millennium ancient city and the landmark buildings of ancient Chuzhou, and the cultural taste of Lishui will be highlighted. And add a unique tourist attraction. This is a good thing for future generations. I hope leaders must seize this golden opportunity. At that time, the main leaders of the prefectural party Committee and the administrative office were also present. In order to impress the leaders, after the meeting, he wrote the article "What to See in the Millennium Ancient City", which was published in Lishui Daily on June 24, 65438. However, his voice did not attract the attention of leaders and relevant departments. The flood control levee has been designed and will be started soon.
