Original title: He used to be deputy minister of the Central Committee Organization Department, and called Chairman Mao “Old Mao”, and his grandson worked as an ordinary security guard in Jinggangshan.
Shi Caolong is not tall, he wears a black coat and a pair of black canvas shoes. The wind and frost of the years left deep marks on his face, which does not look different from most men of this age.
His grandmother is Zeng Zhi, who was the deputy head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. But he was a stranger and honest, and he had been running for a living all his life.
In October, Jinggangshan’s autumn atmosphere grew stronger and we heard him talk about this family story.
My name is Shi Caolong. I am 60 years old. I was born and raised in Jinggangshan. Now I am a security guard at Jiangxi Cadre College.
From the moment I remembered, my father told me and my brother my grandmother’s story. The grandmother is an old woman from the Red Army who joined the revolution as a teenager. In 1928, his father was born in Jinggangshan, his grandmother’s first child, but due to the urgency of the war and difficult conditions, he could only be welcomed into the home of a local colleague in Ciping. It wasn’t until the founding of New China that Grandma asked someone to find her father and took him to Guangzhou. My father thought of adopting his grandmother, so he returned to Jinggangshan and worked here his entire life. The grandmother is also very happy, thinking that the father does not forget his roots and is a good boy.
Although I never knew my grandmother when I was young, I often receive gifts from my grandmother. What impressed me was that Grandma sent a woolen coat and a pair of rain boots to my mother. At that time, these were extremely precious things. Each time I receive a gift from my grandmother, I am more curious and admired for her. I think Grandma must be a great civil servant off the mountain, and she will definitely help our entire family to live a good life.
However, in addition to providing family care to the younger generation as well as to the elderly of ordinary people, for decades, Grandma has never used any privilege to provide us with “special care.” Later, I learned that these valuable gifts were bought frugally by her and spent her own salary.
In the fall of 1985, my father took my brother and I to Beijing to visit my grandmother. That year I was 25 years old and I saw my grandmother for the first time. The train was late that day and it was late at night when we got to Beijing, she was still awake and waiting for us. We live in Beijing for a month. Grandma took us to visit Zhongnanhai and we climbed the Great Wall. It was very nice. But there is always something in my heart, I want to ask Grandma for help. At that time I was young, so I yearned for the outside world and wanted to see the city. When we were in Beijing, we expected Grandma to help settle the family’s basic grain bill. I thought you would agree. But he was silent for a while and said slowly, “Children, we eat all the grain that farmers grow. Isn’t it good to be farmers?”
For this reason, my older brother and I made soft and hard foam but were rejected by Grandma. To be honest, I didn’t understand at the time and I still blamed her a bit. I think it’s not difficult for her to help us figure out the basic grains account, why isn’t she willing to help us?
Except for this matter, Grandma has always cared especially for my life. In 1993, like most young people at that time, I left Jinggangshan to go to work. Because there is only secondary education and no technology, life was difficult at first. Grandma has always cared about us and knew about my affairs. He asked me to go to Beijing and found me a teacher. He taught me how to drive and gave me good skills. During the few years that I worked in Beijing, my grandmother used to call me at home for dinner on the weekends. There were no big fish or meat on the table at my grandmother’s house, but it was a lot of fun eating with her. He often taught me that I must obey traffic laws and pay attention to driving safety. When I was confused or distressed, I also entrusted my grandmother, and she taught me: “Caolong, there were too many children separated from their families in the revolutionary years, and today we are separated, even the Yin and Yang are separated, and we can still meet in Beijing today. Good! Children, people must learn to be content. “
In 1998, the grandmother became seriously ill. Dad ran to Beijing immediately after getting the call from my aunt, that was the last time we saw Grandma. She was very happy after seeing us, and she told us a lot while sitting on the hospital bed. He said that he had not left us anything of value in this life and hoped that we could understand it. In fact, I already understood Grandma’s good intentions. He did not leave us any material wealth. But as an excellent member of the Communist Party, be it the tenacious struggle during the Revolutionary War, or the unforgettable original intention and self-denial when in high office. It is a valuable spiritual wealth, enough for our entire family to use.
In dealing with matters behind her, Grandma also maintained a consistent clean style and gave us the ultimate lesson. There are no mourning rooms, no flower crowns, and not even relatives from elsewhere are present. According to Grandma’s dying wish, her ashes were sent back to Jinggangshan.
The former site of the Fourth General Hospital of the Red Army, where Zeng Zhi was the secretary of the party branch.I remember that my grandmother wrote in her will: I once signed a defense letter to the central government. After the death, there will be no memorial service, farewell ceremony for the remains, mourning room at home and outside of Beijing. Such as Zhixiu, Manhua, Chunhua and Jinggangshan will not attend the funeral. No comrade in arms in Beijing should notify or disturb. The body was sent to the hospital for anatomy, useful left, useless cremation …
When my aunt cleaned up her belongings, she found this suicide note in her grandmother’s desk drawer. There were 87 envelopes underneath the suicide note. Grandma wrote another note on these envelopes and said please hand over these 87 envelopes. The Organization of the Party of the Bureau of Veterans Table of the Department of Organization of the Central Committee. This is the monthly salary that the organization pays me. Except for all the expenses necessary for the salary, the rest is on it. Please give them to the children who need help in Dashan, Hunan, and let them be sure that the money is clean and clean.
After 2000, I returned to Jinggangshan and worked as a security guard at Jiangxi Cadre Academy. Everyone came often to learn the spirit of Jinggangshan. I think Grandma has used her life to practice the spirit of Jinggangshan and embodies the noble character of a communist.
I am getting older and often think of Grandma and her teachings. I also learned what my grandmother was like back then, and raised my children to live by my own ability, not take shortcuts and be a diligent person. My two daughters, one is employed in a Guangzhou company and the other is an electronics processing company in Dongguan. I think that our family, who behaved honestly and did things with their feet on the ground, is probably the best memory and comfort for Grandma.

During the interview, Shi Caolong agreed, but when we talked about the time, we had some problems. Most of the time, he was commanding the parking lot at the Jinggangshan Cadre Academy parking lot, or he was busy in the guard room. Finally, he decided to take the time to chat before going to work.
In Jinggangshan, everyone likes to call Shicaolong “Uncle Caolong”. When I first met him, he had a black coat, black cloth shoes, a black face, a slightly hunched back, and furrowed eyebrows, and he was in a hurry and in a hurry. If not to introduce himself, it is hard to imagine that the old man standing in front of him who has just turned sixty is Zeng Zhi’s grandson.
During interviews, Uncle Caolong always leaned forward slightly and lowered his head. He was very frank and occasionally choked when talking about emotions. For fear of not being able to say it clearly, he always apologized after answering a question. In fact, he spoke very well, sometimes with red eyes, constantly rubbing his hands, getting up and sitting down. With a bit of nervousness, you can clearly feel your deep and somewhat complicated feelings for your grandmother.
Shi Caolong (left) is interviewed by the Jiefang DailyShangguan reporterUncle Caolong urged “hurry up” several times, because the time of the changing of the guard was approaching, he wanted to turn over the shift quickly. Once the interview was over, he immediately changed into a security uniform and went to work. Looking at the back of him hastily packing, he faced the camera a few minutes ago, and the somewhat shy and simple words suddenly appeared in his ears: “Grandma told me that in Jinggangshan, the Red Army depends on people to grow and develop. So he chose to keep his son in Jinggangshan and go back to the people. “
Come from the people, come back to the people. Uncle Caolong did not live up to his grandmother’s wishes. He was a person with his feet on the ground, who worked diligently, without privileges and without special care. As he said, “As long as you are a security guard, you have to be on your guard.”
The Jinggang Mountains in November are full of orange, yellow, orange and green. Uncle Caolong, who chooses the ordinary and is willing to be, inherits the most precious revolutionary spirit in the hot land of Jinggang Mountain and shines with extraordinary light in his ordinary post.
