Comrade Chen Yun refused to give a gift

Chen Yun was indifferent to fame and gain all his life and never accepted gifts. No matter how light the gift is, Chen Yun is also "who comes will refuse". As a leader of the party and the country, Chen Yun went out to inspect and conduct investigations and studies many times. Whenever Chen Yun went out, the "rules" he set were "no pick-up, no delivery", light-duty, no formal things, and no welcome, delivery or eating, drinking and banquets.

On one occasion, Chen Yun had just finished his official business in a certain city and was preparing to return to Beijing by train. The local cadres saw that Chen Yun was busy talking here all day, going deep into the grassroots to understand the situation, and at the same time insisting on low standards in life, which was very hard. As a tribute, we finally decided to bring something on the train. Since it has long been heard that Chen Yun's attitude of refusing gifts is "non-negotiable", he only brought two old hens and some vegetables. Chen Yun and his party knew nothing about this. It was not until the train was about to start that Secretary Xiao Huaguang learned about it. Xiao Huaguang politely asked them to take the things back. However, the attitude of the local leaders is very firm, saying that this is nothing at all. Xiao Huaguang reported the matter to Chen Yun and suggested that if the other party was so kind, it would be better to buy all these things according to the market price, which would not violate the regulations. After listening to the report in detail, Chen Yun said decisively: "This precedent cannot be set. If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and it will not be stopped in the future. Or ask them to take the things back and tell them that I have received their hearts, but I cannot accept the things."

I remember Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "A gentleman has likes and dislikes, and he cannot be unknown. "As a Communist Party member, Chen Yun is honest and self-disciplined, and has a clear love and hate, and the story of his refusal to salute is quite thought-provoking.

Where does the integrity of Communist Party members come from? It comes from the usual 1.1. Chen Yun's "seriousness" is not "making a big deal out of a molehill", but an indispensable "line of defense" to abide by integrity ". In today's life, there are too many lessons about "small" and "big. Don't some incorruptible cadres start from smoking a few packs of cigarettes and drinking a few bottles of wine? Don't some "big" cadres start from accepting "little things"? As for those who "make big money" at once, as long as they check their "old background", they all have the bad deeds of "making small money. those who intend to bribe will also use "small things" to "explore the way", and if they are effective, they will "escalate". From this we can see that "cheap" starts from a small age, and those who know "small" are cheap. Therefore, a large number of corruption is from the "inconspicuous" place to start.
