Among the 1982 people, this "post-90s" couple was the only husband and wife who sacrificed
Xinhua News Agency, Nanchang, February 23 (Reporters Lai Xing, Wang Mingyu) A few days ago, the list of people to be commended for advanced individuals in poverty alleviation across the country was released.
In this list of 1982 people, a "post-90s" couple from Xiushui County, Jiangxi, gave their most beautiful youth and most precious lives.
Three years ago, only 28-year-old Wu Yingpu and 23-year-old Fan Zhenzi died when their vehicles fell into the water on their way back from a poor household.
With their deaths, there was Fan Zhenzi's 2-month-old fetus.
"I miss my granddaughter, does she miss me too?"
This is a heart-wrenching photo: a pair of red lanterns with the Chinese characters adorning the door of the house, but a white elegiac couplet is pasted in front of the door.
The lantern is new, and the elegiac couplet is also new.
They lived in a spacious and bright wedding room for less than 7 days.
On December 16, 2018, people found them in the waterhole below along the rugged and narrow road.
The car was buckled in the water and the seat belt in the car was pulled out. They seemed to have tried to save themselves.
In the deformed trunk, there are 3 local chickens that are to help poor households to travel and sell themselves.
It was Sunday. Accompanied by Wu Yingpu, Fan Zhenzi came to Chuancang Village, Dachun Township, a 2-hour drive from Xiushui County, to visit You Chengzi, who was nearly 80 years old.
The old man had long heard Zhenzi talk about Wu Yingpu. At this meeting, he held the hands of the two and couldn't help boasting that the "granddaughter" had found a good husband, which caused the young couple to laugh constantly.
Fan Zhenzi is young and has a sweet mouth.
When we first met, she told You Cheng to call herself grandfather: "I will help you in the future, hoping to satisfy you."
From then on, whether it was scorching heat or severe cold, she would visit her home every month.
With his sons and daughters working outside the country all year round, You Chengzi put his affection on Zhenzi, and the two grandparents always have endless talk.
In the blink of an eye, three years later, You Cheng has grown old. He has forgotten many things, but he clearly remembers the day when Fan Zhenzi died.
One day, You Chengzi dreamed that Zhenzi called grandpa, and the old man promised to wake up from his sleep, but he was already in tears after waking up.
"I miss my granddaughter, does she miss me too?"
"Grow hard and grow into a towering tree"
"I visited a lot of villagers, some of them were poor households, and they all told me how hard the previous days were. The party and the government have always kept them from abandoning or giving up, encouraging them to regain their confidence... If you choose, you should go forward bravely and assume the mission of a grassroots public official-serving the people."
This was written by Fan Zhenzi in his application for joining the party.
The girl from this rich family changed her life choice after seeing the living conditions of the poor.
A friend once ridiculed her, why didn't she be a "rich second generation" quietly, but instead came to the township to be an affected civil servant.
She did want to live a "slightly relaxed and comfortable life without thinking too much", but she felt that she should "grow hard and grow into a towering tree".
"I once advised you not to engage in poverty alleviation, but if you say that you do not support your career, I am not friends enough. You said, can I hold you down? Dad hopes that we will still be fathers and daughters in the next life, and be good friends. Friends..." After the sacrifice of his daughter, his father Fan Youbing silently wiped away his tears and used his savings to set up a charity fund to help children with difficult families complete their studies.
After his daughter's sacrifice, he deeply felt his daughter's responsibility and eagerly wanted to help her realize her dream.
How much he wants to ask her again in front of his daughter: "Is Dad a friend?"
"He is really good to me, I can't forget it in my life"
Wu Yingpu was the first secretary of Yayang Village in the restoration town, and Fan Zhenzi fell in love with him at first sight.
Looking at their newlywed photos, the two smiling faces look like two children.
Their marriage registration date is "June 1".
The wedding gift that Fan Zhenzi gave to Wu Yingpu is a souvenir book for recording love moments with colored pens, full of childishness——
"On October 29, 2017, the first official meeting; February 8, 2018, the first time to hold hands; April 4, the first time to go out to play; June 1, to receive the certificate; November 7 I'm going to marry you."
Finally, Fan Zhenzi emotionally wrote "to be continued".
"We gather less and divorce more, but from now on I will love you more and spend more time with you." On May 20, 2018, when Wu Yingpu proposed to Fan Zhenzi, he made such a promise.
They work in the two most remote towns in Xiushui County.
Turning on mobile phone video calls outside of work is their unique feature.
Compared with the "recruit" Fan Zhenzi, Wu Yingpu is a unique "poverty alleviator".
Having served as the first secretary of Yayang Village for less than a year, Wu Yingpu traveled around the corners of the 14 natural villages in the village and recorded 8 dense work diaries.
Gu Heping, a villager, was a famous "old man" and often "didn't deal with" the village cadres.
But Wu Yingpu bit the bullet and ran to his house, sometimes sleeping at his house, and the two often talked late.
One night, when a heavy rain suddenly started, Wu Yingpu worried about the safety of the adobe house where Gu Heping was staying. He hurriedly rode an electric car and left with confidence when he saw Gu Heping's family safe and sound.
The heart of this "old man" was heated up.
"He is sincere to me, and I will never forget it in my life." To this day, Gu Heping can blurt out Wu Yingpu's mobile phone number.
The simple people engraved these two young names in their hearts in their own way.
On April 26, 2020, Xiushui County was officially lifted out of poverty. The poor households that Wu Yingpu and Fan Zhenzi had helped have also moved to new homes. The poverty alleviation industry has gradually grown into scale, and people's lives will be better off.
Mufu Mountain in Xiushui County is the only place for Wu Yingpu and Fan Zhenzi to visit poor households.
Tough Miscanthus can be seen everywhere in the valleys, slopes, cliffs and rocks of Mufu Mountain. They are sometimes quiet and peaceful, sometimes moving with the wind, just like the tide of life.
The sky is vast and the mountains are silent. They have been here.
