  Xinhua News Agency reporters Wang Shengzhi, Shuang Rui, Zhai Zhuo

  There are Red Army in every household, martyrs in every village, loyal bones buried in the mountains and mountains and ridges are all monuments-Xinxian, the capital of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and the hinterland of Dabie Mountains.

During the Revolutionary War, Xinxian County with less than 100,000 people dedicated 55,000 people to the revolution; the Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Soviet regions created the miracle of "the red flag will not fall for 28 years".

  "I didn't cure the sand dunes while I was alive, and I will watch you cure the dunes when I die"-Lankao, the birthplace of Jiao Yulu's spirit.

In the 1960s, Jiao Yulu, "the role model of the county party committee secretary," led the masses to plant paulownia and eliminate the "three evils."

Although he only worked in Lankao for 475 days, Jiao Yulu has built an eternal monument in the hearts of the masses.

  On the towering green mountains, you can't sing the hero's hymn; rolling the Yellow River, you can't finish the heroic story.

Standing at a new starting point for development, Henan, by inheriting the red gene and making good use of red resources, compose a brilliant chapter in the new era.

  On the morning of March 17, 2014, as soon as General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived in Lankao, he went directly to the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall.

The general secretary said: "Our generation is deeply influenced by Jiao Yulu's spirit and grew up under the education of Jiao Yulu's deeds. Later, whether I went to the countryside, university, enlisted in the army, or as a leader, Comrade Jiao Yulu's image has always been in my heart."

  "When the general secretary saw the rattan chair that Jiao Yulu had used, he had tears in his eyes. Although it was the second time, he was still very serious when he saw Jiao Yulu's ten inaccuracy for cadres in the museum. Read it word by word.” Dong Yana, deputy curator of the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall, who gave an explanation to General Secretary Xi Jinping in 2014, still remembers the scene.

[Red History · "Turn Tears into Rain"]

  At the entrance of Jiao Yulu Cadre Academy, a paulownia tree is sturdy and tall, with a canopy like a cloud.

This 58-year-old tree lived up to expectations, and the Tung Blossom bloomed again.

  On July 15, 1990, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, was inspired by Jiao Yulu's spirit and wrote the word "Nian Nujiao·Remembering Jiao Yulu".

The words read: "Who doesn't like officials? Turn your tears into rain." The "Jiao Tong" here is the tree in front of the Jiao Yulu Cadre Academy.

  This is a small sapling planted by Jiao Yulu himself in 1963.

When Jiao Yulu came to Lankao in 1962, Lankao was suffering from sandstorms, salinity, and waterlogging. In order to rectify the "three hazards", Jiao Yulu personally took the lead in inspecting wind outlets, exploring quicksand and flooding.

Knowing that paulownia can block wind and pressure sand, Jiao Yulu led the county's stem groups to plant paulownia on a large scale.

After Jiao Yulu's death, in order to commemorate him, the local people kindly called the paulownia he planted by himself as "Jiao Tong".

【Remembrance】

  "The people of Lankao are very ambitious, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky." Jiao Yulu once shouted out the bold words in his life, and now it has become a reality in Lankao.

At present, Lankao County has become an important grain production base in the country and one of the top 100 counties in the country for wheat, cotton, and oil production.

There are more than 200 wild animals such as geese, swans, and spot-billed ducks inhabiting and multiplying in the wetlands of the Yellow River on both sides of the river every year.

  Every year, a large number of tourists from all over the country come to listen to Jiao Yulu's story and learn Jiao Yulu's spirit.

As of April this year, the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall has received more than 900,000 tourists.

Under the Jiao Tong tree, many people cherish meditation and commemorate the eternal and immortal soul.

  Dong Yana has been doing explanation work at Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall for 28 years. Someone always asks her if she is tired of explaining the same content day after day.

She said that the more you talk about Jiao Yulu's spirit, the more you can feel the greatness of Jiao Yulu's spirit.

"Secretary Jiao Yulu is a book that can never be finished, often read Changxin."
