No microphone, no long speech before the lecture, and no modifiers.
Standing in front of a large conference room, 67-year-old Ting Bartel said to more than 40 herdsmen friends in the audience: "Whatever I think of, I want to talk about it. The core is to hope that everyone will increase their income and become rich."
On July 9, the "Listen to the Party, Feel the Party's Grace, and Follow the Party" propaganda and education campaign in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region went into Saruratuya Gacha, Hunger Gaole Town, Abaga Banner, where Ting Bartel is located. 's second home.
Ting Batel is from Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and the son of Major General Ting Mao, the founding father of the People's Republic of China. In 1974, he came to the Xilin Gol Prairie as an educated youth at the age of 19, and has been rooted in the grassland for more than 40 years.
In the lecture for herdsmen that day, Ting Bartel focused on how to improve the herdsmen's income from beginning to end, and the golden sentences were repeated.
For example, when talking about how herdsmen changed themselves, he said: "Our thinking must keep pace with the times with the country and keep up with the pace of the country's rural revitalization."
When talking about how the herdsmen emancipate their minds, he said: "This is not because the country talks about rural revitalization, so we will become rich, and it is not because the state invests, we will be fine, but the main point is to change the thinking of our herdsmen."
As for the path for herdsmen to increase their income and become rich, Ting Bartel once again expounded his "Four Point Theory" to the herdsmen who attended the lecture.
He said: "I think the top priority for herdsmen is to pursue four points. Specifically, they are the highest point of income, the lowest point of expenditure, the best point of ecology, and the weakest point of labor intensity."
In order to make it easier for the herdsmen to understand the content of the lecture, in the more than half-hour teaching time, Tin Bartel also listed various cases to explain the herdsmen in simple terms.
After the lecture, Tin Bartel led the herdsmen who attended the lecture and the reporters who came to interview him to visit his pasture.
The 38-year-old herdsman Xilin Bayar told reporters: "This class is lively and interesting. I have to go back and digest it well, and strive to be a herdsman in the new era that keeps pace with the times."
"What force has made you take root in the grasslands for more than 40 years?" When asked by reporters, Tin Bartel still gave the answer: "I can't live without the grasslands, and the grasslands can't live without me."
"Over the years, I have developed a deep relationship with the people of the grasslands." This is the truth. In the past 40 years, as secretary of the Saruratuya Gacha Party branch, Ting Bartel not only took the lead in implementing "fencing" on his ranch "Rotational grazing", and also put forward the famous "hoof and leg theory", which is to explain to herders the meaning of "reduce sheep and increase cattle" by calculating the number of hoofs and legs intuitively.
He also led the local herdsmen to establish animal husbandry joint-stock companies to develop pastoral tourism, ecological fish farming, etc., to broaden the channels for herdsmen to increase their income, and to greatly increase the income of herdsmen.
Ting Bartel, who has stepped down as the secretary of the Saruratu Yagacha Party branch in Abaga Banner, said: "Lecturing for herdsmen is the most important thing for me. Every year, more than 20,000 herdsmen come to listen to my lectures." (End)
