Listen to touching preaching and inherit lofty morality—— Jiao Yulu cadre College

In order to further understand and study the advanced deeds of Comrade Jiao Yulu, teachers and students came to Jiao Yulu cadre college to listen to the lecture. The topic of this lecture is "Jiao Yulu's 475 days in Lankao". Taking time as the line, Zhang Jing, the speaker, shows the life course, spiritual character and far-reaching influence of cadre Jiao Yulu from five aspects: being appointed in time of crisis, being honest in performing official duties, diligent in administration and loving the people, dedicated to his work and eternal spirit. Taking ballads and family members' escape experience as examples, she shows the historical situation of Lankao's extreme poverty. Comrade Jiao Yulu, who is "not afraid of hardship, can endure hardship and has passion", was appointed in time of crisis and went to Lankao without hesitation. After taking office, comrade Jiao Yulu set an example, strictly controlled and loved cadres, and created a clean government in Lankao County. At the same time, comrade Jiao Yulu was concerned about the people's well-being and attached great importance to the investigation and research. He realized the ideological transformation from dissuading villagers from going out to beg for food to concentrating on eliminating the "three evils". Then, the speaker narrated Jiao Yulu's touching example of sticking to his post by holding a teacup cover against his liver to relieve his pain, which strongly reflected his lofty moral character of selflessness and self sacrifice. Finally, the speaker quoted "his wisdom and career will last forever" as the conclusion, "they melt the small self into the big Self, and strive for the happiness of millions of people rather than their own. They are the independent Communists and the best successors of Marx."

Then, the teachers and students came to the "Jiaotong" tree and listened carefully to the commentator about the origin of the paulownia tree. In order to control the "three evils" and stop the wind and sand, Secretary Jiao planted this tree by himself. The former green seedlings have grown into a towering tree, and the spirit of Jiao Yulu has been developing in the process of history. And facing "Jiao Tong" is "Xi Tong" planted full of affection by General Secretary Xi Jinping in the Academy of Cadres. Members of the Marxist Research Association went together and looked at the pavilion-like "Xi Tong", couldn't help feeling excited. Chairman Wang Junhe said: "Although planted in different times, Jiao Tong and Xi Tong have great spiritual appeal, they are like bright red flags, guiding us not to forget why we started and move forward bravely."

At 3:00 p.m., the teachers and students went to the memorial hall of "four red flags" in Lankao to deeply feel Comrade Jiao Yulu's spiritual outlook and noble morality. The students entered the majestic Memorial Hall and learned the profound connotation of the "red flag on all sides" through explanation, that is, the determination of qinzhai, the drive of Zhaoduo tower, the spirit of Hancun and the road of Shuangyang. Many farm tools and instructions issued by Comrade Jiao Yulu are displayed in the ancient memorial hall, which profoundly reflects his hard work and plain living style and his ideological consciousness of serving the people wholeheartedly. During the visit, comrade Jiao Yulu's touching deeds of encouraging everyone to build dykes and drain waterlogging in the rain attracted the attention of the students. Facing the scene that Secretary Jiao Yulu personally waded water and dug ditches to save people's property, Gao Zhan of 2019 grade could not help but be moved, "this is the good cadre of the people and 'an example of the Secretary of the county Party committee'! Despite the continuous development and progress of the times, the example of 'four red flags' set by Comrade Jiao Yulu will never be out of date. We should also make up our minds and work hard to shoulder the responsibility of young students! "

Li Taibai's majestic "the Yellow River comes to conquer Kunlun in the West and roars thousands of miles to touch the dragon's gate" is immediately presented. In the face of the surging river, the students were filled with emotion and took out their mobile phones to record this scene. The tour in the Yellow River Bay not only relieved the students' pressure and broadened their horizons, but also inspired their lofty aspiration to forge ahead and climb the academic peak bravely. Zhang Chengjun, a member of Marxism Research Association from grade 2018, said: "the magnificent Yellow River has given birth to the soul shaking spirit of Jiao Yulu. The Yellow River Falls from the sky and moistens the Central Plains. We should tell the story of the Yellow River and convey the voice of the central Plains in a good way, and gather spiritual strength for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
