Representatives of national model workers and advanced workers ascended the rostrum one after another, and party and state leaders presented them with honorary certificates. When Liang Shirong's strong and swarthy hands received the certificate of honor and was tightly held by the national leader, a feeling of excitement, happiness and joy came to his heart. His eyes moistened...... Yes, after 60 years of life today, he would never have dreamed that the party and the country gave him this honor, which is not only the confirmation and return of his love to the countryside in the past 12 years since he returned to his hometown to start a business, but also added luster to GD township enterprises.

At that time, among the advanced deeds of national model workers reported step by step, Liang Shirong's advanced deeds materials were known as one of the most influential national model worker deeds materials:

Liang Shirong is an outstanding representative of emerging people and a shining example of township entrepreneurs. He has made immortal contributions to the development of China's township enterprises and socialist construction, and while creating tremendous material wealth, he has also left us a precious spiritual wealth -- the spirit of tolerance and affection.

Liang Shirong was born in 1935 in a peasant family in Liantang Village, Tiantian Town, XX County, and spent his childhood in the disaster-stricken old society. On the eve of liberation, natural and man-made disasters, poverty and illness caused his parents to leave the world prematurely.

At the age of 14, Liang Shirong resolutely left Liantang Village in order to survive, and went to another place he had never been to - Guangzhou. In this ancient city, there are many shops, but there is no place for him to stand; There is a vast flow of people, but there are no familiar faces for him; He had to sleep on the streets. Later, Liang Shirong worked as a child laborer in a small pen-making workshop, barely making ends meet. Therefore, Liang Shirong was not starved to death and frozen to death in the dark old society, which was very lucky for him.

The clouds open and the sun rises, and the earth is full of light. Soon after the liberation of Guangzhou, Liang Shirong was absorbed as an apprentice by the Guangzhou Paper Mill. On the day he entered the state-owned paper-making factory from a small private pen workshop, Liang Shirong was so happy! However, when Liang Shirong walked into the workshop, saw the complex machinery and equipment, and saw the complex process, how uncalm he was in his heart: Isn't it all made by people, why is he powerless? I used to make pens, and now I make paper, all for cultural people to enjoy, why can't I use it? This is all because I have lost the opportunity to study since I was a child, so I don't have much culture! Therefore, Liang Shirong cherishes the job of being an apprentice and cherishes this hard-won learning opportunity. He is secretly determined not only to regain the lost learning opportunities in the past, but also to learn real skills and create opportunities for good work in the future.

During the two years of apprenticeship in the paper mill, Liang Shirong was diligent and studious, and he took the initiative to do any dirty work and heavy work, and he always humbly learned from the masters. Whenever the master repairs the machine, he follows the master to assist in doing this and that, while taking the initiative to help the master do a good job of repairing, while carefully observing the structure of the machine, and earnestly seeking advice from the master on the performance of various equipment and papermaking professional and technical knowledge. Gradually, Liang Shirong learned a lot of papermaking techniques and expanded his knowledge. When the master repaired the equipment, he didn't even need the master's instructions, he already thought about what tools the master would need, and delivered them to the master in time. Because Liang Shirong was diligent and studious, his master valued him very much and was willing to give him guidance, so that he quickly mastered many tricks that he could not learn elsewhere in his work.

Liang Shirong loves his work very much, and he often goes to work early and leaves work late, just to find more time to learn more knowledge and enrich himself after completing his own work. As the so-called sincerity goes, the golden stone is open. Liang Shirong studied hard in learning, strictly demanded himself in practice, and his technical level and work ability have been continuously improved, and he became a technical backbone who can take charge of himself after only two years of apprenticeship, which impressed his colleagues and was promoted to a papermaking professional technician by the factory.

Through his own efforts, Liang Shirong changed from an apprentice to a technician, and was also sent to the new factory to do full-time technical guidance, becoming a respected master. Between 1958 and 1965, he traveled to new paper mills all over the province. He is not only proficient in papermaking professional and technical knowledge, but also familiar with the business management of the enterprise, and even mastered the knowledge of machinery, plastering, carpentry, etc., which is not only an expert in solving papermaking technical problems, but also a capable person who understands enterprise business management. Liang Shirong not only has a comprehensive understanding of the development of the paper industry in the province, but also has a good understanding of the changes in market supply and demand. In the past eight years, Liang Shirong has been full of energy, energetic, very happy, and very successful.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, the tide of reform and opening up rose wave after wave, surging into the rural areas and the urban ....... Once in a lifetime, you can't miss it. Liang Shirong, who had long been eager to try, couldn't sit still anymore. Just as the labor force from all over the country is pouring towards the open area of the southeast coast and the rapidly rising metropolis of Guangzhou, Liang Shirong regards his hometown paradise as a new world to show his ambitions! At that time, who would have expected that Liang Shirong, who left heaven to find a way out of Guangzhou, would now leave Guangzhou and return to heaven to set up a factory when he should enjoy Qingfu?

Liang Shirong has left his hometown for more than 30 years, he is a seventh-level technician in Guangzhou People's Paper Mill, his income is not thin, his salary is not low, his life is very good, and he can retire in another ten or eight years. Why is it that when you are nearly half a hundred years old, you still give up the "iron rice bowl" in your hand and the comfort nest in Guangzhou? When he came back this time, he saw that his hometown, Liantang Village, Paradise Town, had not changed much in the past 30 years, and the peasants were still living in poverty, and he felt uncomfortable. But this did not make him change his mind, but only strengthened his confidence. After listening to the kind advice of the villagers, he said to everyone with a smile: "There are many people in Paradise Town, and there are few fields, and the economy is still very backward. This is true, but there are many resources and laborers here, and as long as we run more industries and speed up economic development, we will not have to go out to work. When it comes to setting up a paper mill, he is even more confident and confident: "I decided to return to my hometown to set up a Paradise Paper Mill, not only because I have the skills in this area, but also because I have a wish, I hope to create employment opportunities for the young people in the village, and I hope that the villagers will become rich as soon as possible and live a good life." ”

In May 1983, Liang Shirong, who was nearly half a hundred years old, bid farewell to the bustling city where he had worked for more than 30 years, resigned from the Guangzhou People's Paper Mill, and returned to Liantang Village, Tiantian Town, XX County, XS District, Guangdong, where he had been raised, and started his new life as a mountain village entrepreneur.

During the period from 1984 to 1985, due to the optimistic product market at that time and the high profits, the annual output value was 1.8 million yuan. Among them, the profit of more than 600,000 yuan is off to a good start. At this time, Liang Shirong seized the opportunity to expand the production capacity of the paper mill in time. In 1986, a second paper mill was set up on the Dawan side of Hetou. Make its production scale continue to expand, and form a certain scale of product advantages. In May this year, Liang Shirong founded Jiahong Paper Mill in Huadu, with a total investment of 13 million yuan, covering an area of 14 acres and a plant area of more than 3,000 square meters, after the completion of all projects, the annual output of paper can reach 9,000 tons.

At the same time, Liang Shirong continues to expand other industries and develop comprehensive operations. In 1989, he contracted 2 square kilometers of barren hillside land in Paradise Town, and set up a planting and breeding farm. So far, this breeding farm has invested more than 6 million yuan, planted more than 40 acres of lychee, longan, citrus and other fruits, more than 60 acres of sugarcane, 250 pigs, 30,000 chickens, and excavated 120 acres of fish ponds. Now there, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and lush, and the fish leap and the roosters crow, presenting a vibrant scene.

More than 10 years have passed, and he has written a chapter of his entrepreneurship in his hometown - he owns paper mills, plantations, fruit processing plants, transportation fleets and other enterprises, with fixed total assets of more than 63 million yuan; The annual output value is more than 90 million, the profit is 30 million yuan, and the tax is more than 10 million yuan. Become the enterprise with the highest tax payment among local individual and private enterprises. In 1988, he was awarded the title of "Outstanding Entrepreneur" by the Provincial People's Government, and in 1993, he was awarded the title of "GD Outstanding Township Entrepreneur" by the Provincial Personnel Bureau and the Provincial Township Enterprise Bureau.

Liang Shirong often compares the enterprise to a giant ship riding the wind and waves in the sea, and compares it to a team that never gives up, advocates team spirit, advocates the use of enterprise spirit to motivate employees, standardize employees, and restrain employees, points out the direction of enterprise development for employees, and gives full play to the wisdom and creative spirit of the majority of employees. put forward the enterprise tenet of "quality first, reputation first, people-oriented, pioneering and innovative"; It has established the enterprise spirit of "working together, dedicating to work, making great efforts, and casting brilliance"; It has refined the business creed of "honesty, sincerity and integrity". The party, government and labor groups work together to build and interact, give full play to their respective expertise and characteristics, and form a corporate culture with the characteristics of Liang's Group. Liang Shirong's success should be the success of an entrepreneur's unique courage and management ability. The construction of a paper mill was a very new thing in the mountain villages, and the newly recruited workers were all farmers from the countryside. In order to establish the product advantages of the papermaking industry, he eats, lives and works with the workers, gets along day and night, teaches them technology, and teaches them management, so as to bring out a group of management backbones who understand technology among the farmers.

In Liang Shirong's enterprise, most of the workers are young farmers in the village and nearby who "wash their feet and go to the fields". He treated them like family, not only taught them technical knowledge, work and business, but also taught them how to behave and help them start a family. There is a young man named Huang Qiang in Guancun, his father died at an early age, and his mother single-handedly pulled him up. His family was very poor, and later he became addicted to gambling, making it difficult to make ends meet. After he was absorbed into the paper mill, he changed his past under the words and deeds of Liang Shirong. Study hard and become the backbone of the business in the factory. Liang Shirong saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and helped him build a 90-square-meter two-story house, and also matched him to get married. The young man is getting happier and happier he is working harder, and he is now the assistant to the factory director. According to incomplete statistics, more than 20 young workers have a successful career and a family with the care and help of Liang Shirong.

Liang Shirong is rich, but he has not forgotten his hometown and the homeland where he was raised. Faced with the reality of difficult roads and difficult driving in his hometown, Liang Shirong did not hesitate to donate funds to repair bridges and pave roads. In recent years, he has donated more than 6 million yuan to build roads, and has successively built cement roads from heaven to inner middle, mountain roads from inner to chicken cages, and roads in the countryside. At the same time, he gave strong support to the construction of schools, hospitals, water supply projects in mountain villages, electrification projects and other social welfare undertakings, according to incomplete statistics, Liang Shirong returned to his hometown to start a business and only used more than 10 million yuan in social welfare funds.

Passing the age of sixtieth means retirement for many people. But it's a new beginning for Liang Shirong. A larger, higher-level start. With the steady development of the two paper mills in Paradise, the gradual improvement of tourism and agricultural facilities, and the full operation of a new paper mill with an annual output of 9,000 tons in Huadu, Liang Shirong's career will be more brilliant.

Because Liang Shirong is good at management and management, the factory has achieved obvious economic benefits in just one year. Subsequently, the production scale of the factory continued to expand, and the products also developed from the original production of low-grade corrugated paper and kraft containerboard to the production of whiteboard paper, coated whiteboard paper, glass cardboard and other relatively high-end products. These products have a wide market and good economic benefits. In the first two years of operation, the annual output value of the plant reached 23 million yuan, and the annual profit was more than 1 million yuan. The first battle was successful, and Liang Shirong's confidence doubled. In 1986, he set up a second paper mill on the Dawan side of Hetou, and the scale of production was greatly expanded. At present, the two mills produce 8,000 tons of paper per year. However, Leung did not revel in these achievements and continued to work hard. Then, Liang Shirong invested 23 million yuan to establish Jiahong Paper Mill in Huadu. After the completion of all the projects, the annual output of the plant can reach 9,000 tons.

At the same time, Liang Shirong continued to expand other industries and carry out comprehensive operations. In 1989, he contracted 20 square kilometers of barren hillside land in Paradise Town, set up a breeding farm, invested more than 12 million yuan, planted 10 hectares of lychee, longan, citrus, sand pear and other fruits, 5 hectares of sugarcane, 5 hectares of pasture, raised 320 pigs, raised 30,000 chickens, and excavated 8 hectares of fish ponds. Liang Shirong also plans to gradually build this farm into a modern agricultural tourism villa integrating summer retreat, recuperation, play and sightseeing.

Liang Shirong deeply understands that the success of his career is due to the party's reform and opening up policy, and it is also inseparable from the support and help of all walks of life and the masses. Therefore, after he became rich, he did not forget his father and fellow villagers, and was enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings. While developing continuously, Liang's Group has never forgotten to repay the society and benefit the society, and has always taken it as its responsibility to care for and support the development of social undertakings.

Over the years, he and Liang's Group have donated more than 10 million yuan, which has been well received by all sectors of society. In January 1990, Liang Shirong donated 1 million yuan to establish the "Liang Shirong Fund" to reward League members, teenagers, outstanding teachers and students from poor families who have made special contributions to the construction of the local "Three Civilizations", and promote the healthy growth of local teenagers.

In order to allow more people in need to receive funding, on November 20, 1993, a total of 3 million yuan was registered on the original basis to establish the "GD Shirong Charity Foundation". In the past few years, Shirong Charity Fund has donated a total of 38.34 million yuan for the construction of new countryside, public facilities, poverty alleviation and student assistance, military support, "ecology, greening, culture and sports", respect for the elderly and the disabled, snow disasters, earthquakes, and major diseases. Liang Shirong's good deeds were received by people

On February 23, 1995, Nanfang Daily published a long newsletter in a prominent position, "Warmth of Hearts - Philanthropist Liang Shirong", which spoke highly of Liang Shirong's philanthropic deeds. The local government made a "decision to learn from philanthropist Comrade Liang Shirong". Sociologist Feng Yin believes that although the essence of "Rongqing" is a representative of an advanced figure, he embodies a spirit, that is, the "spirit of charity" that we recite. He believes that the "spirit of tolerance" is a banner that embodies the simple emotions of Mr. Liang Shirong. "The spirit of tolerance" is a symbol, which condenses the great love of an entrepreneur and philanthropist for the society.
