Xu Haodong said: "(Haha) No, no, there was a provision in the family planning policy at that time, if one of the husband and wife was an ethnic minority, one child could be reborn upon approval, and my mother was an ethnic minority, She ethnic group, and for this reason, there was one more person like me in the world." ”

Maria said: "I see, Secretary Xu, you are indeed lucky enough, and then you began to grow?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, I began to grow up, I went from nursery school to kindergarten, primary school and junior high school, and studied in the military factory children's school. Different from the schools in society, our children's elementary and junior high schools are similar to paramilitary management, so they have developed a lot of good habits from an early age. For example, when I grew up, I never arrived late or left early, went to bed early and got up early, and I was in good health...... And so on and so forth. ”

"I interviewed your high school teacher and said that you read very well, and in today's parlance, you are a top student," Maria said. ”

Xu Haodong said: "It was from the third grade of junior high school, the military factory abolished the non-production department, our school was merged into the Yunling City education system, in order to win the favor of the new teachers and new classmates, I began to study very seriously, and also read a lot of extracurricular books, that was indeed the most energetic years of my student days." ”

Maria said: "However, a student who is in the top three in the three-year high school entrance examination has lost his hand in the college entrance examination, Yunling No. 1 Middle School is a provincial key middle school, and all teachers estimate that you can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the lowest is Dongjiang University." But you didn't even get into the ordinary undergraduate, and finally barely got into the junior college, what happened at that time? ”

Xu Haodong said: "This ...... Miss Maria, can you leave this out of it? ”

Maria said: "Secretary Xu, this is your privacy, but you have already been doxxed on the Internet, and your personal secret is no longer a secret." ”

Xu Haodong said: "(Haha) This is the annoying thing about the Internet, there is no body to hide, there is nothing to hide, it can be said that your brilliance is brilliant, and you can also ruthlessly pull out your failure to go to the wheat city." ”

Maria said: "(Giggles) Secretary Xu, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about your years, and you need to confess to the deity." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Okay, I said I said, that was a ridiculous thing I did, an ignorant teenager, frivolous and ignorant, in order to bet with my classmates, I wrote a love letter to a beautiful doctor sister, and I almost fell into it and couldn't extricate myself." ”

Maria said, "Isn't it the beginning of love? ”

Xu Haodong said: "It's really not, I really didn't understand love at that time, but I was fascinated by writing love letters, and in order to study how to write good love letters, I spent a lot of energy and time, so much so that I delayed my studies." ”

Maria said, "What about the beautiful doctor sister?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "They were married at that time, and later, later, we became very good friends, and now we are called sisters and brothers. ”

Maria said: "You were admitted to a junior college, it is a normal university, why don't you repeat your studies for another year?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "At that time, I didn't have any lofty ideals, but I had a clear and simple idea, that is, to be a person who could help my family as soon as possible. At that time, my father was setting up a stall, my mother was sweeping the road, and I was in charge of the Bayi Road in front of my house, my sister and brother-in-law were both laid off, my parents and I lived here, and my sister-in-law and nephew lived in a shantytown of more than ten square meters, and their lives were quite embarrassing. To add insult to injury, my grandfather in my hometown was seriously ill, and in order to treat my grandfather, my parents not only spent their meager savings, but also took on a debt of nearly 20,000 yuan. So I didn't have many options at that time, I was eighteen years old, and I couldn't be a burden to my parents. ”

"I've heard that being a teacher is also one of your dreams," says Maria. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, I think it's good to study as a teacher, besides, there was a kind of orientation for commission trainees in teacher education at that time, that is, after graduation, they would be assigned back to where they came from, and the tuition fee for directional commission trainees was halved, which was very suitable for my family's economic situation." ”

Maria said: "What I didn't expect was that you gained love, real love in college. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, I met my wife, one day when I was a sophomore, I saw a female classmate fainting on campus, I didn't think about it, I picked it up and ran to the school hospital." I was a national second-class athlete, I ran very fast, and the doctor later told me that if I had been a few minutes late, maybe this female classmate would not have been able to save her. It turned out that this female classmate's name was Xu Yunxue, a student of the early childhood education department in the same grade as me, the daughter of Professor Xu and Professor Yun of our Department of Economics, who suffered from congenital heart disease, and the doctor said that she would not live to be 25 years old, and she was maintained by medication since she was a child. ”

"But you still fell madly in love with her, and married her despite the opposition of both parents," said Maria, "and I heard that your father-in-law and mother-in-law still refuse to forgive you." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, this is the charm of love, which can break through all obstacles, and even defeat death." But my father-in-law and mother-in-law were right, they wanted their daughter to spend more time with her in her limited life. I am grateful to my parents-in-law for the fact that they acquiesced in allowing my daughter to marry me and are now helping me take care of my daughter and son. ”

Maria said: "You are right, the most beautiful thing in the world is love, love can defeat death, your wife has lived for thirty-two years, because of you, so there is love and the crystallization of love, her life is complete, she should not leave with regrets." ”

Xu Haodong said: "I want to ...... I think it must be so. ”

Maria said: "Secretary Xu, I heard, after hearing that your wife died, I cried for three days and three nights while holding your wife's body. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, men don't flick when they have tears, just because before they were sad, my wife left, and she took my life away." ”

Maria said: "I'm sorry, Secretary Xu, I evoked your painful memories, let's go back to your life trajectory, okay?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Please continue to ask questions. ”

"You graduated from university and worked as a teacher in a rural middle school, you studied economics, you taught junior high school history and geography, do you like your job?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "I cherish my first job, I also like the profession of teacher, I am very dedicated, if I can continue to work, I will definitely be able to become a better people's teacher." ”

Maria said, "Someone has changed your fate. ”

Xu Haodong said: "No, first the fire, and then Zhuang Zida, the former secretary of the municipal party committee. It was the Qingming Festival, the villagers went to the grave to cause the mountain and forest to catch fire, Secretary Zhuang Zida was squatting in Sanxing Township at the time, and it was he who took the lead in rushing into the sea of fire to save people, which drove us people to fight hard. ”

Maria said: "Zhuang Zida, isn't it the corrupt official who has been sentenced, and you still dare to speak for him?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "What I said is the truth, no matter what happens to him later, but a municipal party secretary can take the lead and disregard his own life and safety, and I admire him." What's more, everyone knows that he forced me to lead me to the official career, in a sense, he is my benefactor on the road of life, and I can't be ungrateful. ”

Maria said: "I have been to that Sanxing Township, your career stayed there for four years, you have performed well in firefighting, and the biggest reward is to exempt you from the civil service examination and directly let you become a civil servant." And in just four years, you became the head of the township and the acting secretary of the township party committee, you are very capable, your work is fruitful, but it is not denied that it is that Zhuang Zida who is helping you. What I want to know is, do you like being an official? ”

Xu Haodong said: "I like it and I don't like it, but I am dedicated and can do what I love and love." For me, civil servants earn more than teachers, and I have the opportunity to be transferred back to the city as soon as possible, and I was already married at that time, and I wanted to give my wife as comfortable a living environment as possible, so I was happy to be an official. But I soon found out that officialdom is too complicated, everything in it is too tiring, too tiring, too many temptations, and it is easy to degenerate yourself. ”

"Still, you persevered," said Maria. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, my father once gave me four words, duty, dedication, one of my year-old friends also gave me four words, patience, awe, I relied on these eight words to come over." ”

Maria said: "This year-old friend of yours should be Liu Zhengdao, the secretary of the county party committee in the eighties of the last century, right?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Miss Maria, your intelligence work is quite good. In fact, I met Mr. Liu when I was in high school, at first we were chess friends, he was a retired county party secretary to participate in the city's chess competition, everyone let him let him into the top six, I didn't accept me to challenge him, kill him to the bottom of the water, come and go to know each other. At that time, we were neither big nor small, he called me stinky boy, and asked me to call him stinky old man, we were chess friends. Later, I embarked on a career in office, and Mr. Liu's influence and teachings on me were more and more extensive, if Secretary Zhuang Zida took me into the door of power, then Mr. Liu was my guiding light in the power field. ”

Maria said: "Have you compared the difference between Secretary Zhuang Zida and Old Man Liu? ”

Xu Haodong said: "Cadres are generally ten years and one generation, and there are several generations of people who are behind, there is no comparison, I think the biggest difference between the two is the word awe." ”

Maria said, "How do you understand the word awe?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "When I say awe is reverence for power, Mr. Liu is very awe-inspiring about power, and in this regard, Mr. Liu has the greatest influence on me." But Zhuangzida and his ilk did not understand the nature of power and did not revere power, so they were eventually swallowed up by power. ”

Maria said, "How do you fear power?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "People who stand outside the gate of power think that power is very mysterious and powerful, and those who are inside the door of power are easy to get lost because of the willfulness of power." And I think that power is water, it's not complicated at all. ”

Maria said: "This statement is very novel, Secretary Xu, can you tell me why power is water?" ”
