The irrepressible crying in the hall made Qi Tianxiang's eyes moisten, and he looked at everyone intently, and did not stop it until the crying slowly subsided and everyone's emotions gradually returned to calm, Qi Tianxiang raised his voice affectionately and said: "The boy has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place." This is an old saying, think about our past, look at our present, and then think about the past workers who are still struggling in depression and helplessness, I think these tears are worth shedding, whether it is sad tears, or tears of relief, or unspeakable depression, there are such tears that show that our hearts are still hot, our emotions are still full, and our future is still full of hope. ”

Qi Tianxiang's emotional narration, and involuntarily expressed 'we', greatly narrowed the distance with everyone, won everyone's touch, applause erupted fiercely, and it was endless, and it took a long time for the applause to slowly subside.

"Secretary Qi said what was in our hearts, and also said to our hearts, to get the understanding and care of the city leaders, no matter how hard we work, it is worth it." A voice sounded high-pitched, full of emotion and said: "Now it is not easy for us, just like Secretary Qi said, we still need to work hard every day, and we need to pay more hard work than when we were in the factory, but we are very satisfied, because we are not running around alone, not suffering alone, but dozens of old guys huddle together for warmth, contributing to the society together, and also embodying our value with our own efforts." We are not wasted people, nor are we superfluous people in this society, we are still useful. ”

In the applause, a gray-haired middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall, faced everyone's applause and cheers, and slowly continued: "My name is Wang Quanlian, I used to be a skilled worker in the automobile factory, but a few years ago because of the transformation of the automobile factory, I was laid off and became a wasted person, and I relied on temporary work every day to earn food. We used to build cars, and we used our own hard work to produce so many trucks for the country, but we don't know why we can't say no, it's not good, are the cars we produce bad? Is the quality not up to par? Is it our technical ability that can't do it? No, but some of our leaders have taken a fancy to the oil and water of the joint venture, to the greater personal benefits that our plant can bring, and to all kinds of strange reasons. The car factory is gone, but so are we, the skilled workers of decades? Are we really useless? Should it be swept away like garbage? We are unwilling, we can't figure it out, but what's the use of being unwilling, we are just a laid-off worker, we have nothing but a handful of age and a heavy family burden. ”

"After being laid off, I worked as a security guard, a porter, a bicycle repair, a temporary worker in an auto repair shop, sold fruits and vegetables, and worked as a nurse in a hospital. Wang Quanlian looked at Qi Tianxiang, and then looked at the people in the hall, and said with a heavy heart, his mood gradually became a little low, but then he cheered up, and said in a loud voice: "Since receiving the initiative of Master Huang of a branch factory to establish a mutual aid cooperative, I have seen hope in my heart. We are car builders, we are very familiar with the structure and mechanical principles of cars, and we all have some skills, and several of us have also worked in auto repair shops, so we still feel that we can give full play to our strengths by returning to our old profession. ”

"The trade unions and social security departments in the city and district were very supportive of our ideas, not only helping us make plans, but also giving us strong support and help in terms of funds and venues, so that our inspirational auto repair club was soon open for business. Because of our good service, excellent quality, solid technology, especially our low charging price, very popular with the drivers, especially we are a mutual aid cooperative, is the nature of the re-employment of laid-off unemployed workers, and has also won the sympathy and love of many car owners, now we not only adhere to it steadily, the old brother has a stable income, and also from the beginning of the thirteen old guys, now has contacted more than 30 old guys, and there are more partners to collaborate. Wang Quan said excitedly, pointing to everyone in the hall, and said with a satisfied smile: "In the past, we old buddies and sisters didn't know each other, and we didn't know what each other was doing. It's not a problem to be tired. ”

Wang Quanlian's frank and excited words caused a huge repercussion and infected everyone, making the applause and applause endless.

"Master Wang said it so well, he said what was in the hearts of those of us who were laid off and unemployed." A middle-aged woman took over Wang Quanlian's words, and said neatly: "When I was laid off, I was really disheartened, and I had the heart to die, but look at the old people in the family who want to be filial, and the children who go to high school to raise, I can't even die, once I die, what should the whole family do with the old and the young!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but swallow a little as she spoke, but looking at everyone's encouraging eyes, she smiled a little embarrassedly, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said happily: "That's all in the past, I think it's sad and want to cry, but now I don't cry, because with everyone's help, with the support and care of the government, I have something to do, not only have a fixed income, but also a lot of subsidies." I'm going to retire this year, and I have a pension to receive, but I'm determined not to quit the cooperative, I want to help more sisters do something, and I don't need any pay to help, as long as I can make everyone happy, I will continue to do it until I can't do it anymore. ”

The middle-aged woman's confession aroused warm applause, applause and cheers were endless, and it did not subside for a long time, and it caused even greater discussion and echoing.

With the opening remarks of Wang Quanlian and the middle-aged woman, everyone's enthusiasm wanted to open the boiling water, and it boiled instantly, and more and more people spoke, all of whom introduced the situation of their mutual aid cooperatives, talked about their own feelings and feelings, and without exception were satisfied with the current form of cooperatives, the stable income and stable living conditions, and the joy was overflowing. Every speech and statement has aroused everyone's applause and applause, and the atmosphere in the hall is like a wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, enthusiasm is always undiminished, and the crowd is excited like a person.

"Everyone has said a lot, and I can't help but want to say a few words." Seeing everyone's emotions getting higher and higher, Master Huang stood up from the stairs and said with tears in his eyes: "Thinking about living in a dangerous building, setting up a bicycle repair stall, my daughter-in-law has been injured and sick for a long time and has no money for treatment, and my only baby daughter is bullied and difficult to describe, at that moment the days are really desperate, I really have the idea of suicide, I really want to forget it, but just like the eldest sister said just now, I really dare not die!" ”

"It was when we were desperate that Secretary Qi came to our house, and he quietly ran out of the hospital wrapped in someone else's coat outside and wearing a hospital gown inside. That's to give the good cadres in our city a bumper harvest and mourning, so that the fatigue and sadness are overworked and dragged down! Master Huang turned his head to look at Qi Tianxiang emotionally, slowly looked at everyone, and continued: "I live in the hospital, but after hearing about me, I came overnight, which not only solved the practical difficulties of dozens of our families living in the dilapidated building, but also made us quickly move out of the dangerous building that always made us frightened, and lived in a new house with bright and clean windows, without adding any burden to our family." From the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to our Hezhou City secretary, the first thing that comes to mind is our actual living difficulties, that is, the organization of our godsister to cover the kitchen, timely thought of letting us organize ourselves, help ourselves, and solve our own difficulties, which led to the birth of the first mutual aid and cooperation organization in our city, and organized the relevant departments of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions and the municipal government. Formulate policies in a timely manner, give us real help, and promote the emergence of more than 100 similar organizations in the city, it can be said that without the care and support of Secretary Qi, there would be no one for all of us today. ”
