Xiao Yang chose Tsinghua at that time, but because he didn't have the travelling expenses, he had to go to Chengdu temporarily to study in the provincial education institute for one year.
Xiao Yang's stay in Tsinghua coincided with the civil war. The corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang government and the wave of anti-hunger and anti-civil war among the people of the whole country are getting higher and higher. Xiao Yang took an active part in the student movement in Tsinghua University. His electrical engineering department has become a gathering place for progressive young people. Here, with his classmate, Zhu Rongji, who later became the Prime Minister of the Republic of China.
The activities of Xiao Yang and others quickly aroused the anxiety of the Kuomintang authorities. Three progressive students, including Xiao Yang, were arrested by the Kuomintang under the tip-off. In prison, Xiao Yang and two other students fought against the enemy together and didn't confide a word to him. After Xiao Yang and other three students were arrested, our underground party did a lot of rescue work, but the frenzied enemy killed the other two students. Xiao Yang was short and had no evidence, so the enemy had to let him go.
The two students who fell under the guns of the Kuomintang, one surnamed Xiao and the other surnamed Miao-later got the name Xiaomiao. Shortly after returning from studying in the former Soviet Union, Xiao Yang returned to his hometown to visit relatives after a long separation of 15.
But Xiao Yang stayed at home all night, and Xiao Yang hurried back. "Xiao Yang is very busy at work, let him go." Chen Qi helped Xiao Yang smooth things out in front of his mother. On the same day, Chen Qi borrowed two bicycles to send Xiao Yang to the south from Langzhong, and Xiao Yang took a bus from the south to Mianyang to return to Beijing.
1962, the Central Committee held a "7,000-person conference" in Beijing. Before the meeting, Xiao Yang called home and took the initiative to contact Liu Chunfu, then secretary of the Langzhong County Party Committee, and asked him to contact again after he arrived in Beijing. It was this acquaintance with Liu Chunfu that contributed to the "marriage" between Beijing Glass General Factory and Langzhong Glass Factory.
10 years later, steel can't be bought anywhere in the teaching building of Langzhong No.4 Middle School. The school sent someone to Beijing to ask Xiao Yang for help. Xiao Yang allocated 17 tons of support from the building materials in the factory, which solved the urgent need. Later, in the form of donation, it provided construction funds for Langzhong carpet factory.
1984, Xiao Yang went back to Yutai while working. After seeing his hometown, he lamented: I have been away from home for more than 40 years, and my hometown is still like this. Xiao Yang stayed at Chi-nese medicinal's house after he went to town that day. 12 years later, Xiao Yang returned to his hometown with agricultural experts from Chongqing, hoping that this would be a "prescription" for the local development of high-quality agriculture. After Xiao Yang became the governor of Sichuan Province, he also helped Langzhong Middle School to solve the school funding. "Xiao Xiao resigned as governor, mainly because of his age and health." Chen Qi said that after Xiao Yang was transferred, there were many rumors about him, but this was not the case.
While studying in Germany, Xiao Yang suffered a car accident and a rib was removed. During his tenure as director and party secretary of Beijing Glass Factory and General Factory, he was not only an expert, but also a leader and a doer. He suffered from silicosis because of long-term exposure to dust. "One injury and one illness" became the reason for his long-term poor health.
In the summer of 2005, the famous film director Xie Jin went to Langzhong to choose a scenic spot. When the local leaders invited him to dinner, Xie Jin specially called Chen Qi. While Xiao Yang was working in Chongqing, a film directed by Xie Jin was filmed locally. Xiao Yang once gave financial support, and Xie Jin was unforgettable.
"Before Xiao Yang died, I introduced anyone who had difficulty finding him in his hometown." Chen Qi said that whether in Beijing, Chongqing or Chengdu, Xiao Yang always tries his best to help solve what he wants from his hometown. And every time he goes home, he always keeps a low profile.
After the "Cultural Revolution", Xiao Yang was transferred from Beijing Glass General Factory and successively served as a member of the leading group of the ninth office of the State Council, deputy director appointed by Beijing Leather Industry Committee, deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission and executive deputy director of the Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Commission. Since then, he has served as deputy mayor of Chongqing, mayor, secretary of the municipal party Committee, deputy secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and governor.
