At around 1:00 noon on December 15, starting from the plane’s slow landing at Xinzheng Airport, Mr. Xu Jiayin and his wife Ding Yumei’s intense and efficient return to their hometown was destined to become a profound memory for them.
Mr. Xu Jiayin has not returned to Zhoukou for 8 years, and has not returned to Taikang’s hometown for 22 years!
When the clouds drifted over his hometown, the wanderer returned home. Xu Jiayin held back tears several times: he confessed that he had never been so excited
After 3 pm, Xu Jiayin led the elite soldiers of Hengda Group headquarters to Zhoukou, and went to Hengda Middle School, the first phase of the treatment project on the south bank of the Shaying River, Zhoukou Port, and the site of the Yellow River Diversion and Storage Project. At 5:30 pm, Mr. Xu Jiayin’s homecoming symposium was held as scheduled.
Liu Jibiao, the party secretary who accompanied the whole process, moved the audience with a unique speech, and at the same time shook Mr. Xu Jiayin’s mind – a group of yellowing pictures appeared in front of everyone:
This is Mr. Jiayin’s hometown, this is the courtyard, this is the main house, and this is the table used by Mr. Jiayin. Mr. Jiayin grew up and lived in this courtyard when he was a child;
This is the textbook that Mr. Jiayin used when he was in school, with Mr. Jiayin’s personal handwriting on it, and the seal that Mr. Jiayin drew with his own pen;
This is my grandmother’s portrait, next to my grandmother’s loom.
This is the bed that Mr. Jiayin used. According to Mr. Jiayin’s neighbors, Ding Yumei and her child also slept on this bed when they went home. Because the bed was too small, Sister Yumei could only sleep on the bed.
"I was born in a very poor place in eastern Henan. When I was one year old and three months old, my mother got sick and had no money or place to see her, so she left, and I became half an orphan. From childhood to adulthood, I grew up eating sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles, and I was covered with patches and patches. When I was in elementary school, the classroom was a few dilapidated grass houses in the village that were not protected from the wind or rain, and the desks were made of mud tables. When it rained, it rained heavily outside the classroom and lightly inside."
"When I was in middle school, I was far away from home. I carried a basket of sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles to school every week, as well as a bottle of salt. I ate one sweet potato and one black nest for three meals a day, and drank a bowl of salt water. In summer, the weather is hot, and the black nest will soon grow hair. Wash it before eating."
"After the country resumed the college entrance examination, I was admitted to university. Because I had no money to study or eat, the state gave me a bursary of 14 yuan every month, allowing me to finish college."
"Drink water and think of the source. We must repay the society, we must actively assume social responsibility, and we must help those in need more."
This is Mr. Xu Jiayin’s touching speech at the 10th China Charity Award ceremony. With a total donation of 11.30 billion yuan, he has won the China Charity Award, the highest government award for eight consecutive years, and won the title of "Most Caring Charitable Donor Individual".
Poor families produce filial sons, and filial sons are more loyal ministers. Success comes from struggle.
The group of pictures of "Memories of Growth" made everyone deeply feel what made Mr. Jiayin’s great love and boundless character and mind to take the world as his own responsibility! As the saying goes, "Difficulties and hardships, Yu Ru is successful".
Secretary Liu Jibiao’s emotionally choked introduction made Mr. Xu Jiayin’s eyes hot and tears flow several times, but he endured and controlled… The 20 years of hard experience in his hometown made him feel overwhelmed. It was precisely because of poverty, because of the training at the bottom, and because of the simple and precious love of his hometown fathers that cultivated his kindness, his responsibility, his responsibility, and his feelings for his country.
It’s time to give back to our hometown.
Traveling all over the world, my hometown is the only one. Helping to build my hometown has been my long-cherished wish and dream for many years: hometown, I’m back
"My hometown is different from the rest of the world. I have lived on this land of Zhoukou for generations, and I grew up on this land of Zhoukou. When I come back this time, I feel that Zhoukou has undergone tremendous changes and is changing with each passing day. More importantly, I feel that the leaders of the four major teams of the city, such as Secretary Liu and Mayor Ding, have a strong desire to change Zhoukou. The atmosphere of the city’s top and bottom officials is unprecedented, and the soft and hard business environment has also undergone tremendous changes. At the same time, the new city leadership team’s plans for the future of Zhoukou make me very proud, very proud, and look forward to it as a Zhoukou person."
Regarding the construction of Zhoukou Central Business District, Xu Jiayin promised that Evergrande will hire the world’s top masters to help plan the entire new district, and make the entire new district plan into a world-class modern new city that integrates ecological protection, green sponge and innovation and wisdom. "Yes, it is to make Zhoukou Central Business District a world-class model." Not only that, Evergrande will also invite domestic and international well-known entrepreneurs and well-known enterprises to claim and build a landmark building. In a word, Evergrande cherishes the great opportunity for Zhoukou’s development now, is full of confidence in Zhoukou’s development, and will definitely contribute to its hometown Zhoukou.
Returning home, Hengda’s original intention remains unchanged. Xu Jiayin said that 18 years ago, I had this desire and responsibility to build a university for Zhoukou, and first built the current Hengda Middle School in 2000. Now, Hengda and Zhoukou Vocational TechAcademy cooperate to "upgrade", which is just right to fulfill its long-cherished wish. Zhoukou has a large population and is a large agricultural city in the country. It is the right time for the country and the local government to vigorously develop vocational education. Evergrande will make use of its capital advantages and social resource advantages to go all out to help Zhoukou build this undergraduate college as soon as possible.
Xu Jiayin said that he wants to give his hometown a surprise: Regarding the construction of Zhoukou New District, Evergrande not only wants to turn Zhoukou’s CBD into the world’s top new district with green ecological wisdom, but also to raise the business format of the new district to a higher level and enrich the content. For example, in terms of tourism, three or five new major projects can be launched, such as Aquarium, Water World, Children’s World, and Movie Commune (small town), etc., to attract tourists from the surrounding area and even farther away to live in the scenic spot. At present, Evergrande Children’s World has more than 10 locations across the country. It is a full-indoor all-weather all-season fairy tale paradise specially designed for children aged 8 to 16, filling the gap in the world. The amusement project exceeds Disney Children’s Park and can only be played in a week. Evergrande’s "Eight Nations Hot Springs" (World Hot Springs City) can only be completed in one week; supporting services such as World Food Street are rare in the province and the whole country. These new formats can be considered for layout in the new district.
It is understood that Hengda has carried out preliminary docking for the protection and tourism development of Huaiyang ancient city. Tourism, as a new development sector of Hengda, is its important business support. Hengda will accelerate cooperation with Huaiyang to promote the development and construction of global tourism in the ancient city.
Xu Jiayin also said that not only cultural tourism projects, Hengda’s big health sector can also be put into the new district. Hengda comprehensively investigates the global health care model, develops and builds Hengda Health Valley for the elderly from 1 year old to 100 years old, provides a full range of all-age health care services, and covers multi-dimensional three-dimensional interactive experience projects, including sports and leisure, challenging the limit, and elderly rehabilitation.
Regarding the construction of agricultural high-tech areas, Xu Jiayin said that in the next 10 years, Hengda will invest 10 billion yuan annually, a total of 100 billion yuan in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, launch a large number of innovative high-tech projects, and cooperate with high-tech projects in his hometown, including agricultural high-tech, with great potential.
Touched, excited, surprised, and longing, Xu Jiayin’s sincere confession made everyone excited. Zhoukou will usher in huge development opportunities. Evergrande’s strong intervention will bring historic changes to Zhoukou.
Don’t forget your original intention, you have to always be there. The moon is your hometown, and love is your hometown. Hometown complex, in the heart of 60-year-old Xu Jiayin, is as heavy as Mount Tai
When Mr. Xu Jiayin had 2 million yuan, he took out half of it for free and spent 1 million yuan to build a primary school in the village – "Jiayin Primary School";
When he had 500 million yuan, he took out 100 million yuan to build Hengda Middle School in the central urban area of Zhoukou, and donated it to the municipal government for free in 2011;
In recent years, he donated to his hometown Jiayin Middle School, Taikang County People’s Hospital Gaoxian Branch, Hengda Poverty Alleviation Base, Jiayin High School, with a total investment of more than 1 billion yuan.
Gaoxian has produced sages since ancient times! Jutaigang Village, Gaoxian Township, Taikang County, is the hometown of Mr. Xu Jiayin. Gaoxian Township got its name from Gao Chai, one of the 72 sages of Confucius. Gao Chai once took refuge here to give lectures, educate and educate people. Since then, the style of respecting the elderly and filial piety, and making progress in school has been passed down to the township for more than 2,000 years. Jutaigang Village is one of the largest villages in Taikang County, with a population of about 4,000 people, which can reach 5,000 or 6,000 people for a long time. Xu Jiayin lost his mother when he was young, and his grandmother brought him up, so he has a deep affection for her. There are two huge elm trees in the Xu family, and children are like car covers. It has been more than 50 years, and it is difficult for adults to hug each other. When Xu Jiayin was a child, his grandmother used to sit on the millstone at the entrance of the village, kindly waiting for his diligent and studious grandson to come home. Xu Jiayin made mistakes, and his grandmother was strictly disciplined and never pampered. The portrait of his grandmother was drawn by Xu Jiayin, who had never learned painting, in a few days, which shows that Xu Jiayin had a deep affection for his grandmother. Xu Jiayin was the only person in his class and the whole village who was admitted to the university at that time, and his grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry were close to full marks. His college entrance examination score was the third in the region, and he could be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University at that time. However, due to no guidance, he was afraid that if he failed the exam, he would eventually miss Peking University and Tsinghua University. In the end, suffering, the best "teacher", made him and sharpened him It can be said that the memory of his hometown is an inexhaustible driving force for Xu Jiayin’s life.
In order to express their gratitude to Xu Jiayin, the Zhoukou Federation of Literary and Art Circles organized young painters Guo Hong, Liu Sen, and Zhou Qile to paint a giant Chinese painting "Hometown Love" for him after on-the-spot investigation and interview, and gave it to Mr. Xu Jiayin as a gift. The picture is based on Xu Jiayin’s old house as the background. The village house is Pengmen, backed by a soil hill, with towering ancient elms and a grinding disc in the middle. Seeing this painting, Xu Jiayin repeatedly called it "priceless treasure, priceless treasure". He said that he would replace the paintings in his office with this ancient Chinese painting that records his growing memories, so as to always remind himself not to forget his homesickness, not to forget his original intention, to work hard for the people and the country, and to make contributions to the development of Zhoukou and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The music sounded, and it was Fei Xiang’s warm "Clouds of Hometown". "Come back, wanderer who has wandered the world. Come back, clouds of hometown."
