Prose: The Year of the Ox is a real ox.

The night is cold and dew, the day is covered with dust, and the wind and rain throw themselves. Full of heroism, never changing, a plow warms the spring light. Although the Year of the Rat is not over yet, the beginning of spring has passed, which is the call of the Year of the Ox. Say hello to the cow and say goodbye to the mouse. My heart can't be calm for a long time, and my roaring thoughts can't erase the sadness and depression of my memory. The past year of 2020 was an extraordinary year in the history of our country. At the beginning of the year, a once-in-a-century plague disaster occurred in COVID-19, and the plague spread all over the country. The people of China United to fight the epidemic and controlled it as soon as possible. ...

Farewell to cattle, Vientiane is renewed, the footsteps of winter are gradually drifting away, and the breath of spring is coming. Entering the Year of the Ox symbolizes good luck, perseverance and hard work, so people have new expectations, confidence and courage, put aside the gloom in their hearts, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and make great achievements in the Year of the Ox. When the Year of the Ox comes, people will naturally think of and talk about cows. As the head of six livestock, cattle have been regarded as a symbol of hard work since ancient times. It contributes more, takes less, eats grass and milks; It is unknown, gentle and docile, hard-working, down-to-earth, step by step. Because of this, the cow has always been the most respected and loved "natural creature" and loyal partner, and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as an image of selfless dedication and no return.

Li Gang, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem called "Sick Cow": "Plow a thousand acres and a thousand boxes, and whoever is exhausted will be injured again. I hope that all beings will be complete, and they will win the disease and lie in the sun without hesitation. " Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer, once claimed to be an ox, and wrote the immortal poem "Look at a thousand fingers coldly, bow down and be a willing ox" as his motto in life. Comrade Mao Zedong called on: "All * * party member, all revolutionaries, should be the cows of the proletariat and the people, do their best and die". It is the bull spirit of the Chinese nation that has nurtured a splendid Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. I grew up in the countryside and liked cows when I was a child. I remember the sowing season in spring, when cows were stalwart in the fields. It is in the furrow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, pulling the plow forward. Without the sharp whistle of the bullwhip, there is no more shouting. I only saw the rope in the hands of the plowman swing in time, and the wisdom of cattle and human beings communicated on the same rope. In the frequent "Yo ... Oh ..." Shouting, gentle and far away. At the foot, the sound of flowers came from the earth. The beauty and richness of a season begins here.

In the era of low mechanization in rural areas, cows have been busy all their lives, and helping people plow fields and pull carts will never be idle. The most unforgettable time was pulling corn stalks. After the rain, the road in the field was muddy and the car sank in. Both the man and the cow struggled to get free, but the car remained motionless. Nearly half a foot deep ditch has been dug under the wheel, and four huge mud pits have been pushed out by a group of cow footprints. Just when he was at a loss, the uncle Wang next door came and saw him holding the shaft and shouting, "Drive!" " ! At this time, the cow suddenly knelt down with its front legs and slammed it with its rear legs, and the car body came up in a flash! At that moment, my tears couldn't help anymore. Cows understand human nature. In our poor family, cattle have long been a member of the family.

At that time, the days in the village were days, as calm as water. Whoever adds a man, who marries a new person, hangs firecrackers in the treetops and floats far away; Whose ancestors left, a handful of paper money cried in the wind, a suona jumped into the sky and went to the next reincarnation. Where are the cows? The cow kept silent. The winter in the north is cold, and it is also the slack season. At this time, cows can get leisure in the pen. I often go to the cowshed to put grass, and then I lie on the cork of the cowshed and watch the cows eat grass for a long time. The cow ate a lot of hay, swallowed it, then lay on the straw and ruminated quietly. Its lips move left and right, grinding those unpalatable foods like a stone mill. I'm thinking, maybe it's because of rumination that this cow has become so peaceful ... its ears are flapping slightly, its eyes are shining brightly, and its hazel eyes seem to be immersed in the water of Ming Che. Only with your heart can you realize that the cow swallowed yesterday or today's sadness and rumination, which is a dull journey. This is the true portrayal of the cow's obscurity and selfless dedication.

I love cows, not only because they benefit mankind, but also because of their simple quality, tenacious spirit and noble demeanor. It symbolizes people's character, is people's spiritual totem, and will always be an example for people to learn! Think about how many revolutionary predecessors chanted their ambitions and encouraged each other. Countless revolutionary martyrs fought bravely "like cattle", dyed the revolutionary banner red with blood and life, and ushered in the dawn of the East. After the founding of New China, how many party member and revolutionaries maintained and carried forward the Party's fine tradition and style of work, shared weal and woe with the people, made selfless contributions to the motherland, and pushed forward the socialist cause. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the "bull spirit" has always been the backbone and solid foundation for our achievements, both in terms of our country's economic construction and personal success. The rapid development of various undertakings in China in the past 70 years is the result of the hard struggle of countless "old ox".

In the cultural history of China, cattle are a symbol of suffering, nobility and hard work. The contribution that cattle have made to mankind in their life is worthy of our praise.

Today, we also use the spirit of cattle to praise those who have the character and disposition of cattle: for those who dare to blaze new trails, they are called "pioneering cattle"; For those who are hard-working, they are called "old ox"; For those who seek truth but don't give in, it is called "a stubborn cow", and for those who are young and not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, it is called "a newborn calf"; It is said that the cause is thriving and prosperous, such as "bullish" ... so the spirit of cattle runs through ancient times and spans the times, from ancient times to the present. The hard work and dedication of cattle have become more and more difficult to remember in the passage of time, while the loyalty and persistence of cattle are more lasting and unforgettable. Now, great changes have taken place in our life and society, which is also the result of the "old ox spirit". The "ox spirit" has not only achieved the economic development of our country, but also achieved a style, a cultivation, a style, a courage and confidence to accept all challenges and overcome all difficulties. However, under the impact of the market economy, some people have shaken and played down the "bull spirit". Some people think that whoever is honest now suffers, and the "old ox" is not allowed; Some people think that the "old ox pulling the slow train" is too inefficient and too tired to live, so that the "old ox"-style characters are left out or despised; Some people think that "old ox" is synonymous with "low level, weak ability and rigid thinking"; Others think that "the spirit of the old ox is out of date", personal interests are above everything else, they pursue fame and fortune, and even use their powers to seek personal gain. This unhealthy trend affects folk customs and even the whole social fashion, and affects the smooth progress of national construction. Therefore, in the new historical period, each of us still needs to learn the noble quality of cattle and carry forward the dedication of cattle! To carry forward the spirit of "old ox" is to "whip yourself without whipping".

In an ordinary post, hard work, silent dedication, dedication, and death, the "old ox spirit" is still a frank and unpretentious. In recent years, luxury office buildings have been continuously built in some places, and the "three publics" are seriously wasted. Some civil servants don't pay attention to dedication, just want to take, covet enjoyment, relax their work, hate work, and even corruption. The reason is that they have forgotten their identity and their role. Instead of serving the masses and working for the cause of the country in the spirit of "old ox", they focus on "official standard". Therefore, to advocate the "spirit of the old ox", it is especially necessary for people, especially leading cadres at all levels, to learn the character of the ox, carry forward the spirit of the ox, be a diligent and unremitting "old ox", and truly make power for the people, feelings for the people and interests for the people. "Year of the Ox" means ox. I think "Year of the Ox" should be "ox". A word "cow" not only represents people's good wishes and yearning for a better life, but also is an expectation and a strength. "Cowardly" is made by hard work. In the new year, no matter you are a leading cadre, a civil servant or an ordinary citizen, you should work as hard as an "old ox" and work hard step by step like an "old ox".

We hope to see greater improvement in people's lives and more tangible achievements in all work. We don't want to see some "political achievements" phenomena of boasting, boasting, exultation and putting on a show, and we don't want to see some extravagant image projects, political achievements projects and tossing projects for grandstanding and showing off local economic strength. Especially in the face of the financial crisis, we should carry forward the "bull spirit", maintain a tenacious momentum, form a situation of taking the lead, work hard, and overcome all difficulties and obstacles with bull's courage and confidence, so that our cause will flourish and our motherland will flourish. Just like: the east wind is getting stronger and spring is coming, and farmers are busy sowing people. It is true that cows strive for fruitful results and have plenty of food and clothing.
