　　Before leaving, she also confessed. First of all, she said she must be simple in her funeral. Secondly, the old lady clearly stated that the funds of the "Order of the Republic" should be taken out and paid the party fees.

　　【Explanation】Before attending the two national conferences in 2020, Shen Jilan was hospitalized in Changzhi People's Hospital and returned to Xigou on the morning of May 14. Because, Xigou is concerned about Shen Jilan's life.

　　Before leaving, she particularly emphasized that she would go back to Xigou to take a look and explain to the people. It was said that I went to a meeting. (I went to) Beijing these two days. Everyone must work hard at home. This was also the last time Director Shen had a meeting in Xigou, the last time I saw everyone, and the last time I saw the people in Xigou.

　　【Explanation】During Beijing's participation in the 2020 National Two Sessions, Shen Jilan was taken to the hospital for treatment due to physical discomfort and was unable to attend the closing ceremony in person at the venue. On the afternoon of May 28, Zhang Juan accompanied Shen Jilan and watched live TV on the ward.

　　The old lady was very disappointed when she learned that she could not attend the closing ceremony. The old man asked me to put on her white shirt and black suit. She took out the representative badge and put on it. The two of us watched the closing ceremony in the ward. This document has been worn all the time and I am reluctant to remove it.

　　[Commentary] Zhang Juan recalled that no matter where he went, Shen Jilan cherished the representative card very much. In her view, the representative card is not a document, but a responsibility. In this way, Shen Jilan ended her 60-year NPC deputy career.

　　During all the conferences during the illness, Director Shen insisted on attending, including two meetings in our city. Because our meeting room is on the third floor, there is no elevator, and the stairs are longer and steeper. I specially arranged for the city hospital to prepare a wheelchair for her. But the old lady was very angry and trained me. She said that I could get on. She had to insist on climbing the stairs by herself, just walk and rest like that. This is the power of faith.

　　【Explanation】Insist on reading daily news and copying notes. Every time you arrive early, you will give party lectures 98 times a year, staying in a hotel refuses to live in a single room, leftovers are not wasted, and never cause trouble to others... Follow Shen Jilan's 8 During the years, Shen Jilan's strong, simple, and frugal quality made Zhang Juan unforgettable.

　　I have been with Director Shen for 8 years, and the meeting has always been a room. When she was given a room with a higher grade, she immediately became angry and retreated. For example, an apple is half rotten and half good. I want to throw it at her, and she is reluctant to save it and eat it secretly and give me the good one. So ordinary, but I think she is too great.

　　[Commentary] During the autumn harvest of 2019, villagers still see Shen Jilan holding a sickle to harvest corn. At 90 years old, she still loves work and insists on working in the field.

　　Pingshun is a dry stone mountainous area with very few thick soils and thin soils. The land of Xigou is where (in the last century) Director Shen took the women to carry the burden, picked up the soil, and poured it to the base. It was her hard work and sweat. So seeing the land really has a special feeling. She could not live without Xigou in her life. Xigou is her root, Xigou is her life.

　　[Commentary] At 4 o'clock in the morning on June 27, Shen Jilan called Guo Xuegang, secretary of the party branch of Xigou Village, to the side. Xigou Village was still concerned about her life.

　　The old man said, remember hard work, diligence, frugality, and splitting a penny into two halves, making it difficult for a poor family. Saving one point is one point, and you can do something if you save a lot.

　　[Commentary] At 1:31 a.m. on June 28, 2020, Shen Jilan, a national model worker, an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, a representative of the first to the thirteenth National People's Congress, a winner of the title of "Reform Vanguard", and a recipient of the "Republic Medal" He died in Changzhi due to ineffective medical treatment at the age of 91.
