What exactly is the spirit of Fang Yonggang?

On January 15th, 27, Fang Yonggang, a professor at Dalian Naval Academy, came to the teaching building of the Political Department to give a lecture on the last lesson of this school year-"Our Army's historical mission in the new century and new stage".

the students waited at the door early. Facing their eyes, Fang Yonggang, who is suffering from cancer, stepped onto the podium, still so refreshed and still so loud as Hong Zhong.

"I am very happy to give you a class today ..." Fang Yonggang's last sentence was drowned in applause.

Students will always remember this scene: the steep slope of 11 steps in front of the teaching building, and their professor Fang tried his best to climb it step by step ...

Before taking a step, Fang Yonggang adjusted his military uniform. The mountains are as far away as Dai. His eyes stayed for a long time on the six bright red characters ahead-mission-loyalty-dedication.

Faith-"People who have no scientific belief are unfortunate people, and my belief is Marxism"

Every year, he has completed 2% of teaching tasks, made more than 1, lectures for officers and soldiers, cadres and the masses, and written more than 1 papers ... For more than ten years, Fang Yonggang has been answering the same question for his students, listeners and readers at this pace: Where is the way to develop and change China? Road, in the party's innovation theory, in the great practice of the people. This is Fang Yonggang's definite answer.

in the autumn of 1981, Fang Yonggang was admitted to the history department of Fudan university. After four years' cold window, after reading extensively about eastern and western philosophy and literature, and studying the history of the rise and fall of dozens of dynasties in China, he put his main direction on the history of modern thoughts in China.

Why did the Westernization Movement try to save China from industry, but failed? Why did the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911 try to save China from the system and failed? Why can China's * * * production party find the right way of national rejuvenation in the dark night?

this is the power of scientific theory. It is this power that has changed the destiny of the country, the nation and everyone in the creative practice of generations of China * * * producers.

Among these changed fates, Fang Yonggang itself is one of them.

in April, 1963, Fang Yonggang was born in a peasant family with seven children in western Liaoning. Poverty is almost all his childhood memories.

on December 18th, 1978, the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee was held. This is the family birthday recognized by Fangjia-since then, the burden of family components has disappeared, and the whole family has no need to worry about eating for the first time after "fixing production quotas"; Later, more than 3 of the 4 people in the whole family moved to Dalian one after another. The village where the ancestors lived for ten years and nine droughts became a famous telephone village and tap water village nearby, and groups of college students like Fang Yonggang and young people working in South Korea and Japan came out ...

He understood that all these changes were brought about by the party's good theories and policies. The simple gratitude of Fang Yonggang, the son of a farmer, flooded into the rational thinking of Fang Yonggang, a scholar, and formed the trust in the Party and the belief in the Party's innovative theory.

A lifelong career choice without regrets begins.

One day in the early 199s, Fang Yonggang heard on the bus about the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, and heard that some people were pessimistic about the future of China's socialist cause. Like many young and middle-aged theoretical workers today, Fang Yonggang's theoretical research and communication career was launched against the background that the socialist cause suffered setbacks all over the world. He was not surprised by such remarks. However, it has never been Fang Yonggang's character to remain silent or laugh it off.

Fang Yonggang is eloquent, and the other side does not show weakness. The people next to them thought they were going to start a fight and almost called the police. Talk about the international strategic pattern, the changes in China, the characteristics of reform and opening up, and his own personal experience ... Fang Yonggang finally convinced the other party, and his eloquent and persistent energy also shocked the manager from the prison system: this is a firm-minded party member, and he has a strong appeal!

The bus missed the stop because of the debate, but both sides of the debate became friends from then on. Soon, Fang Yonggang received a lecture invitation letter from Liaoning Prison Police Training Center. More than ten years have passed, and the course has not stopped.

"People who have no scientific belief are unfortunate people, and my belief is Marxism." Fang Yonggang said, "If we teachers of Marxist theory don't believe in the truth ourselves, how can we convince others? If you are not touched by yourself, how can you touch others? "

Scientific belief is like the ever-burning lamp of life to party member. Scientific belief is a great virtue for teachers; Scientific belief is a power that can be transmitted, multiplied and rooted to anyone who needs it.

In the summer vacation of 21, Fang Yonggang was invited to Xiaolong Street in Dalian to explain Theory of Three Represents to retired veteran cadres and the masses. An old cadre asked: What you are talking about is still socialism as we originally understood it?

"The reason why the Party's innovation theory is scientific is not only that its essence is in the same strain, but also that its content is always innovative with the development of the times." Fang Yonggang replied, "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great article, and several generations of * * * party members have written their own paragraphs in this masterpiece and made great sacrifices ..."

When he talked about the Mao Zedong family who sacrificed five relatives for the China Revolution and sent their eldest son, Kishida Ying, to the Korean battlefield, Deng Xiaoping's life was "three ups and downs" and he always tried his best for the people of China to live a good life.

When everyone's mood recovered, Fang Yonggang went on to say, "Old comrades fought for their lives. What you are most concerned about is whether future generations can maintain the advanced nature of the Party. Today, our party wrote' Theory of Three Represents' on the banner to ensure that the cause initiated by the older generation will be passed down from generation to generation! "

............

From Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents to Scientific Outlook on Development, Fang Yonggang paid close attention to every latest achievement of China Marxism with the unique sensitivity of a theoretical warrior. He told the students that as long as he is determined to become a theoretical worker of the Party, it is no longer a personal wish to pay attention to the frontier, but a responsibility entrusted by the times.

Fang Yonggang's career path is not smooth sailing. In 1995, Fang Yonggang's mother died, his father was seriously ill, and all six brothers and sisters were in financial difficulties. Fang Yonggang hated that he couldn't give more rewards to the poor family that raised him. In desperation, he applied to the dean of the college to change jobs. The Dean had a heart-to-heart talk with Fang Yonggang, who was highly valued for four times. No promises, no more fine words, she just repeated one reason: army building can not be without excellent theoretical talents. This is the reason why Fang Yonggang can't refuse!

"I want my desk." Fang Yonggang stayed, won the teaching award and scientific research award that year, and his teaching and research section also won the title of advanced teaching and research section. "The storm of changing jobs" made Fang Yonggang understand himself better: he can't do without the army and this career of climbing high and looking far! Ten years later, Fang Yonggang became a model of young teachers in the college, got a doctorate and was promoted to professor.

True colors-"As long as theory returns to the practice of the people, it will be as evergreen as practice"

If theoretical workers are the bridge connecting theory and practice, Fang Yonggang is willing to be a brick on that bridge.

In his view, scientific theory is extracted and abstracted from the practice of thousands of people in Qian Qian, and theoretical workers have the responsibility to make the latest theoretical achievements of the Party grasped by the masses, thus turning them into great material strength.

Shortly after China joined the World Trade Organization, Fang Yonggang was invited to Tieshan Town, Lushunkou District to talk about the impact of WTO on farmers. Word spread from mouth to mouth, and many farmers put down their farm work and came to attend classes.

"Professor Fang, China has joined the WTO, so don't let it kick you!" A farmer shouted, "The food we grow is not easy to sell, and it is even worse for foreign food to come in!" "

Fang Yonggang asked, "Do you know why the wheat here is dregs when making bread?"

"Our wheat variety is not good."

"Yes, the wheat we import is mainly high-quality special wheat. You can rest assured that the state always pays attention to protecting the interests of its own farmers, and we farmers should also cultivate fields and improve varieties through science and technology, so as not to suffer losses in the international competition of agricultural products ... "

There are many comments from the audience, and people are thoughtful. After the report, a farmer asked him, "How can you, a professor, know that wheat does not fall off when making bread?"

An old man insisted on meeting Fang Yonggang: "Son, how come all those truths have become the vernacular of our peasant family?" Fang Yonggang didn't expect that this 8-year-old man was lying on a stretcher and listening to his lecture all morning!

Fang Yonggang burst into tears: "Grandpa, I was born in the countryside, and I am also a farmer's child!"

The more diverse the society is, the more people urgently need scientific theories, both in economically developed cities and in rural areas.

he can't forget that he finished the correspondence instruction in Mohe Frontier Company, which guards the north gate of the motherland. Soldiers asked him to talk about the international situation, China's internal and external policies, and the reform and development of the army. They held out their own brewed wine and served vegetables grown in the greenhouse to keep the professor from afar for a few more days;

he can't forget that on the island of Changshan fortress, the class for cadres and soldiers is over, and family members should listen to him when they come with their children. It was not until half past eleven in the evening that he finished the latest class in his teaching career;

He can't forget that when giving lectures in some units in Dalian over the years, there were not enough seats in the venue, so people brought stools from home to sit in the aisle and listen. In this first open coastal city, the "Dalian Forum" focusing on the latest theory has been held for more than 5 times, and the publicity activities at the city, county (district) and township levels are booming ...

Workers, farmers, cadres, students, soldiers, retired old people ... Facing these grassroots audiences from all walks of life in the classroom, Fang Yonggang feels the people's thirst for the party's theory and feels it.

The complicated historical changes have become storytelling in the ups and downs. Highly abstract theoretical issues are carefully woven into the chatty conversations by Fang Yonggang, which are the things that people are most concerned about and close to their immediate interests.

To talk about "harmony" to the community residents, Fang Yonggang started with a spelling game: "Harmony"-on the left is "He" and on the right is "Kou", which means everyone has food; Harmony-on the left is Yan and on the right is Jun, which means everyone can speak. A harmonious society means a well-fed life and a high degree of political democracy. Everyone said, who doesn't want to live such a good life! " To talk about the advanced nature of party member cadres at the grassroots level in rural areas, Fang Yonggang quoted two phrases from the fields-"Walking without getting wet, having money to marry my aunt", which showed the hope that the peasants placed on the leaders who became rich.

When talking about the reform of rural economic system, he traced the "life and death contract" covered with red handprints in Xiaogang Village. Speaking of comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, he painfully learned the lessons of SARS; Talking about building a new socialist countryside, he elaborated on the ins and outs of the "three rural issues" ... < P > "As long as theory returns to the practice of the people, it will be as evergreen as practice." Fang Yonggang firmly believes that there is no end to practice and there is no end to theoretical innovation and dissemination!

Fang Yonggang, who has witnessed the great impetus of scientific theory, hopes that through his own dissemination, the theory can be grasped and applied by the people. Nowadays, what he often says in his lectures is "live in harmony with each other and build a home hand in hand", which has become the slogan of several communities in Dalian; Inspired by his viewpoint that "scientific development should find a correct orientation", Renmin Road Street, where new economic organizations gather, has set up an economic service center and launched six "service promises"; After listening to his "people-oriented" lecture, Liaoning prison system opened a psychological health care class for police officers; Farmers in Taishan West Village, Shuangdaowan Street, Dalian, have more confidence in planting cherries after listening to his explanation of industrial restructuring ...

When the news came from all directions, Fang Yonggang smiled happily.

Passion-"Always keep the charge posture of a theoretical worker, and let the limited life burn for the most magnificent cause under the sun"

Fang Yonggang deeply loves the three-foot platform.

He said that everyone has an unshirkable mission when he comes to the world. My mission is to give a good lecture to my students and audience. He is a professor in the Department of Political Science and a master's tutor. He is also a member of the Liaoning National Defense Education Lecturer Group, a visiting professor in the shenyang military area command International Logistics Department and a member of the Dalian Lecturer Group ... The task of giving lectures is heavy, but he enjoys it. Before each lecture, Fang Yonggang put forward three requirements: prepare a cup of boiled water-moisten your voice, a dry towel-wipe your sweat, and tell him the age, culture and occupation composition of the audience-so as to think about what language to use.

at the beginning of 22, Fang Yonggang was invited to give a report to a certain department of shenyang military area command logistics department in Qiqihar. From the afternoon until dinner time, the officers and men still didn't listen enough. At everyone's request, after dinner, Fang Yonggang went on to talk for two hours ...

"Singers have returned to sing," said a leader of the Political Department of the Logistics Department. "Who has ever seen a teacher return to the scene for a political theory class? Fang Yonggang can do it! " Even lying in a hospital bed, Fang Yonggang's passion never waned.

In May, 1997, Fang Yonggang suffered a serious car accident on the way to send his children to school-the main nerve in the back of his head was completely broken only by the width of a leek.

For 18 days, two holes were drilled in the head, and Fang Yonggang's head was fixed by traction. He could only lie still, staring straight at the ceiling above his head, but fortunately his memory was not lost for a second.

in the middle and late 199s, it was the time when geopolitics in the Asia-Pacific region changed greatly and the struggle for maritime rights and interests became increasingly fierce. What new role should China navy play? Fang Yonggang and his colleague Wang Yufei agreed to study this issue from the perspective of the development history of China's navy since modern times. No sooner had he got the outline than Fang Yonggang was in a car accident. Wang Yufei is in a hurry. How can this scientific research be done? Fang Yonggang said, "No problem!"

thoughts gushed out, and Fang Yonggang dictated and revised them; When you need to check the information, lift the book with your hand and read it. At first, the arm was sore and soft after holding it for a few minutes, but it took two or three hours at a time. "The evolution of the modern Asia-Pacific strategic pattern gave birth to China's navy, and the rise and fall of China's navy profoundly affected the Asia-Pacific strategic pattern ..." Three months later, when the 3,-word "Asia-Pacific strategic pattern and China's navy" was written, the doctor asserted that his body was only "1% hopeful" and fully recovered ...

People liked his frankness, and he
