Yu Laohan’s Manure Accumulation

The winter of leisure, for the lazy, is the best cat winter festival. However, for hardworking people, it was a good time to take advantage of their winter leisure to pick up dung. Yu Changji was over sixty years old and belonged to the latter. He was a hardworking person.

Yu Changji was a farmer from Erdao District’s sixth village group. Ever since he was young, he had focused on farming. He deeply understood the principle of ‘one must work diligently and not be lazy’. If people work hard not lazy, one must timely early planting, timely shoveling, and two must put foot farm manure. He believed in the proverb, ‘A grain of corn is only a flower of dung’. In the sixties, when Yu Changji went to work in the morning and at noon, he always carried a shovel and a dung basket and developed a good habit of picking dung. Since contracting the land, he had bought cattle and cars, and started picking dung with oxcarts. He used little fertilizer in his fields, and all of it was farm manure, which made the crops dark and fallow.

This winter, when the temperature dropped to -27 degrees Celsius, on a cold and snowy day, instead of sitting on his own hot brick bed, Yu Changji rushed an ox cart to the Taoyuan Village to pick up excrement five kilometers away. He spent more than eight hours a day picking up a load of excrement. By December 5 last year, Yu Changji had picked up more than 20 wagons of excrement. A good foundation was laid for seizing next year’s bountiful harvest of grain and vegetables. Wang Zipeng)

On January 25, the first page of the printed newspaper, in the Township Enterprise’s essay collection, published an article:

Township Enterprise Wind Recruitment

An admirable farmer entrepreneur

— — Lu Zhongye, Manager, Building Materials Industrial Company of Tonghua City in Jilin Province

O Wang Zipeng

An ordinary farmer, because of his persistent pursuit, selfless dedication, struggle with all his might. In a spirit of abandonment and reluctance, to make his career successful, and to win the leadership and trust of all. He would become a respected and genuine Township Enterprise that was named by the provincial government. He walked out on a dazzling golden path, causing people to feel envy and praise. Who is he?

His name was Lu Zhongye, and he was a farmer from the Tonghua City of Jilin Province, Erdaojiang Village and San Jiang Village. Lu Zhongye, 45 years old this year, is a peer of the People’s Republic of China. He was of medium height and slightly plump. A pair of large eyes were embedded on his slightly red face, giving people a feeling that he was capable of speaking.

After graduating from junior high school in 1976, Lu Zhongye worked as a worker in the Village enterprises of Sanjiang Village. Because he was smart and capable, he often gave advice to the Village enterprises and was recognized by their leaders. In 84 came to the village farm machinery factory as the plant director, a township farm machinery factory made a red fire, people and factory. His new product, “Dry and Wet Steelmill”, is a bestseller both inside and outside the province. Its economic benefits have greatly increased, and so has Lu Zhongye.

In the winter of 1987, the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee and the government decided to transfer Lu Zhongzheng to Erdaojiang as their leader. The factory suffered a loss of 240 thousand yuan for five consecutive years due to poor equipment and chaotic management. With only 210 thousand yuan in fixed assets, the payable amount reached more than 400,000 yuan. The workers were in a state of semi- suspension because they could not afford to pay the expenses. In these 87 years, he had consecutively changed three plant director s. When Lu Ye came to the cement factory of the township enterprise, she first examined the products of the factory. In his view, a single cement product could not produce good economic results. Firstly, the quality was not up to standard. Secondly, the sales market was not good. The production should be changed immediately and could not continue. After careful and serious investigation and research, he decided to go back to work immediately. In 88 new construction materials, limestone, waterproof materials and other production lines. After a year of hard work. The profit for that year was more than 7,000 yuan. From then on, every year was a new step. Earnings were over 50 thousand in 89 years; over 110 thousand in 90 years; over 240 thousand in 91 years; and over 280 thousand in 92 years. By 1993, the annual production value was 3.37 million yuan, sales 3.25 million yuan and profits 349 thousand yuan. And from 88 onwards, cement factory changed its name to Erdaojiang Building Materials Industry Company, which is a township enterprise, a scale enterprise and a big tax payer of Erdao District.

In the short term, the Erdaojiang Building Materials Industry Company operated by Lu Zhongye can not only turn a loss into a profit, but also become a pillar enterprise at the district level in one fell swoop. In the spring of 1993, he took over two loss-making enterprises, the “Steel City Lime Factory” and the “Cement Products Factory”, and expanded the scale of the industrial companies. Enterprises have profits, workers’ wages and living benefits have been improved; workers’ spiritual appearance has changed greatly. Employees who used to want to be transferred are no longer transferred. The workers who had already been transferred tried to move back. Employees’ enthusiasm, creativity and ownership have been brought into play, becoming a creative force for wealth creation in construction materials companies.

The tattered cement factory was no longer there. What replaced it was a brand-new factory and office facilities. In the past six years, Lu Zhongzhong has beautified the environment, with more than 100 thousand yuan in funds to build a factory. At present, there are 294 employees, 14 managers, 3 cars, 9 production vehicles, more than 2.1 million yuan in fixed assets, 7 workshops, such as building materials, quicklime, etc., which are a considerable scale of township enterprises. In August of 1993, Lu Zhongjie honorably attended the Township Enterprise Conference of Jilin Province, and was named “Township Enterprise” by Jilin Provincial Committee and Jilin Provincial Government. At the same time, he became a member of the Tonghua City’s Political Consultative Committee, the Great Representative of the Erdao District. In July of 1993, he was promoted to the position of General Manager of deputy mayor and Industrial Company by the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee and the government. In order to encourage talents, the Erdaojiang Rural Party Committee and the government rewarded Lu Zhongye with a one-room building worth 37 thousand yuan in October 93.

In the new year, Lu has a heavier burden on his shoulders, his career is bigger, and he is moving towards a more distant goal.

This article was written by the village chief of Erdaojiang, Comrade Qu Zhenwen, who had instructed Zi Peng to write it. That was in the fall of 1992, when Qu Xiang Chang found Zi Peng and told him some of Lu Zhongye’s basic situation. After that, Zi Peng then went to Erdaojiang Building Materials Industry Company to find Lu Zhongye for an interview. Lu Zhongye was modest and talkative. About his own awards, promotion, not to talk about, just talk about the general development of the enterprise. Finally, for the second time, Zi Peng found the Qu Xiang Chang to understand the situation, and thus formed this essay.
