Failing Lieutenant General Bao Xianzhi-To Be Like a "Bitter Gourd"

In the "three strict and three solid" requirements put forward by Comrade Xi Jinping to leading cadres, "strict self-cultivation" is put in the first place. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has followed an ancient motto: "Since the son of heaven and even the common people, they are all based on self-cultivation. "We advocate strict self-cultivation, is to strengthen the party spirit, firm ideals and beliefs, improve the moral realm, the pursuit of noble sentiments. In this regard, Hubei Founding Lieutenant General Bao Xianzhi has a famous saying: "Be like a bitter melon", which is worthy of our deep consideration and practice.

bao xianzhi was born in a 'sea of bitterness. He lost his mother at the age of 1, lost his father at the age of 5, and was adopted by his uncle and grandfather. He joined the revolution at the age of 15 and joined the Red Army at the age of 19. He joined the famous general of our army, Wang Jinshan, the prototype of Li Yunlong in the TV series "Bright Sword", and Chen Xilian, the founding general, and was his elder brother. He took part in the night attack on Yangming Fort, the Hundred Regiment War, the suppression of bandits in Wanxian County and other combat campaigns, which shocked the enemy's courage. It was found that Wang Keqin, Hao Ba Company on Nanjing Road and other famous typical models of the whole army were cultivated. He is an outstanding representative of the leaders of our army's political work, and was praised by the former Soviet Union's advisers as "an expert in the political work of the Chinese army". It is the prototype of Zhao Gang's political commissar in the TV series "Bright Sword. The prototype of Pan Dongzi in the red classic film "Sparkling Red Star" is also his eldest son Bao Sheng Su.

Bao Xianzhi is very strict with his family's children. He often teaches his children to always maintain the political nature of hard struggle. When their children get married, Bao Xianzhi only gives 100 yuan money. No one in the family is allowed to use the special car assigned to him by the organization. However, Bao Xianzhi is always caring for the staff around him. After learning that the cook in the family had hepatitis, Bao Xianzhi personally talked with him, contacted the medical unit, and took out 500 yuan to supplement medical treatment, which was not a small sum at that time. Not only that, he also personally sent the young man to the train and told him to feel at ease for treatment.

Bao Xianzhi often tells his children that one should be like "balsam pear". No matter what kind of dishes balsam pear is fried with, only balsam pear is bitter, while other dishes are not bitter but more fragrant. His children all take the spirit of "bitter gourd" as the code of conduct for standing up and being a human being, and tell it to their children and grandchildren, making it the "family precept" of the Bao family ".

In the eyes of grandson Lin Hui, grandpa Bao Xianzhi is the family's best temper, the most likely to be "bullied. At that time, Lin Hui and his five cousins were all living in the grandfather's house. No matter who did something wrong in the family, Bao Xianzhi just smiled. The most serious thing was to "stare" eyes. Therefore, they all feel that as long as there is a grandfather, they will be particularly bold, because no matter how naughty will be protected and forgiven.

But once it was different, not only did not protect them, but also to outsiders. There is a large orchard in Bao Xianzhi's yard. When the fruit is ripe, Lin Hui and his cousins learn from the children's group and "guard" the orchard with wooden red guns made by adults. Later, he "caught" several children who had climbed over the wall to pick peaches. They were very excited to report Bao Xianzhi, but the "processing result" was that Bao Xianzhi sent a lot of fruit to the children. Lin Hui and his cousin were depressed for several days, and had no sense of achievement, and the enthusiasm of "standing guard" slowly disappeared. It was not until Lin Hui grew up that he realized how much his grandfather loved those children in that era of material scarcity! In 1.1 little things, Bao Xianzhi told his descendants how to be tolerant, tolerant and sympathetic to others, but to leave "suffering" and grievances and losses to himself.
