"As long as I am the prime minister, the conference hall is not allowed to be renovated."
At the entrance of the the State Council Conference Hall, there is a wooden screen with the words "hard work and plain living" engraved on it, which is a portrayal of the Prime Minister's work style. At the meeting in the State Council, people heard the Prime Minister refuse to decorate the conference hall more than once. The Prime Minister said: "As long as I am the Prime Minister, the conference hall is not allowed to be renovated." 1959, in the atmosphere of the Great Leap Forward, the Ministry of Water Resources built a water conservancy construction achievement exhibition hall near Miyun Reservoir without asking for instructions. One day, during a meeting in the West Flower Hall, the Prime Minister suddenly turned to Qian, Vice Minister of Water Resources, and said, "Qian, Mr. He told me that you are building a quite advanced building in Miyun Reservoir. Is this true? " Qian replied, "Yes, this is a water conservancy exhibition hall." The prime minister was silent for a while, shook his head and said softly, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing." Money is ashamed to hear it, and my heart is as uncomfortable as a knife. According to the thinking of some cadres now, the Prime Minister has neither severely criticized nor given instructions to deal with it, and there is neither the deterrent of disciplinary action nor the danger of losing his official position, so he can completely muddle through. However, inspired by Premier Zhou's great personality, Qian returned to the Ministry and immediately conveyed this at the party group meeting. The party group of the Ministry of Water Resources immediately decided to transfer this building worth more than 4 million yuan to a research institute of the First Machinery Department for free, and wrote a profound inspection report to the Central Committee.
2. Immortal poetry
"Hammer chisel mountain, if the fire is idle. I am not afraid of being smashed, I want to remain innocent in the world. " Poetry embodies the spirit of heroism. Yu Qian was smart since he was a child. He read a book and admired the ancient people with lofty ideals. For the sake of the country and the nation, he is also willing to take this huge risk. In the face of national disaster, Yu Qian did not flinch, and kept himself sane. What he did was not for his own selfish interests, but for the interests of the country and the nation. As long as it is the needs of the country and the nation, even if it is "destroyed", he will not hesitate. Although Yu Qian, who was strict and loyal, ended in tragedy, his patriotic feelings of "writing the Spring and Autumn with blood" set a model and monument for future generations and cast a great national soul for us.
