1February 1965 and 19661October, Premier Zhou Enlai met with Wu Jichang twice in Zhongnanhai, and asked him to study the problem of cotton budding. Since then, Wu Jichang, who accompanied the country through poverty, disaster and glory, has been burning his soul with his own efforts for Premier Zhou's entrustment, the cotton cause and the high and stable yield of cotton, conveying unyielding will and indomitable spirit.
Wu Jichang does not seek fame or profit, but concentrates on cotton; Wu Jichang did not bend over in the face of difficulties and did experiments day and night; When the Gang of Four was rampant, Wu Jichang "couldn't bend his head with a stick, and silver flowers were everywhere". What is supporting Wu Jichang? What spirit inspired Wu Jichang? After Mu Qing visited again and again, talked back and forth, and exchanged visits every year, Mu Qing finally unveiled the mystery. He condensed a string of words with the blood flowing in the veins of this magical old cotton farmer, and wrote Wu Jichang and his "For Premier Zhou's Entrustment".
Wu Jichang went to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shanghai, Beijing and Tangshan earthquake-stricken areas to teach new cotton planting techniques, and personally explained and demonstrated to tens of thousands of cotton farmers. He has reduced the cotton boll shedding rate given to him by Premier Zhou Enlai from 70% to 80% and below 30%. Wu Jichang left smoothly with Premier Zhou's entrustment.
Today, Chairman Mu Qing, who has paid more for Wu Jichang's cotton career and the transmission of his indomitable spirit, has been away from us for almost four years. Mu Qing and Wu Jichang, sons of the two peoples, have always inspired and inspired us with their immortal achievements and touching friendship. We should always be "upright" and want nothing more.
199212 On February 24th, Wu Jichang suddenly got worse due to a bad cold and died at the age of 83. 1993 65438+ 10 On October 3rd, Wenxi county party committee and county government held a memorial service for him in Wenxi, and Mu Qing appointed Gao Changfu to arrive in Wenxi with two elegiac couplets he wrote. One of the elegiac couplets wrote: "Seeking the happiness of ordinary people, Dai Yue has a hard life and never seeks personal gain; For the entrustment of Premier Zhou, I worked hard to hand it over to Mianshu Yin Hua. " Spoke highly of Wu Jichang's life.
"Although Wu Jichang passed away, his revolutionary spirit of' Don't try to stop me' for the sake of truth, the scientific cause of the motherland and the trust of the party and the people will always educate and inspire us to overcome difficulties." Zhao, the current secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Fuyang Village, said, "Fuyang Village has 680 mu of cultivated land, and the per capita cultivated land is only 0.8 mu. With the adjustment of industrial structure and the transformation of economic development mode, there are fewer and fewer cotton growers in rural areas, and most of the labor force is working in Haixin. Wu Laomo has made great contributions to the country and worked for the welfare of the people in Shuyang. He is a great wealth of Shuyang Village, and we should cherish this precious resource. In the construction of new countryside, the village has built a moral education base with Wu Jichang's deeds as the main content, developed red tourism and vigorously promoted Wu Laomo's great spirit. This is the characteristic of Fuyang Village in building a new countryside. "
