The wealth of farmers is the highest reward
In 1980, Shuzhen, who took up the post of the head of the tea station of the Shangnan County Forestry Bureau, began to expand the scale of tea planting again, transforming from artificial tea production to mechanized tea production. With her help, the tea farm bought back tea-making machinery, because there was no electricity and no power source in the countryside at that time.
looked at the machines that were like scrap metal without power. Shuzhen saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.
She decided to use the tea industry development fund as an advance to bring back diesel engines for tea factories that are in urgent need of power equipment, so that these tea factories will enter the era of simple mechanized production.
In 1982, when she was busy with the tea business day and night, a secret arrow was shot that caught her off guard.
"Zhang Shuzhen bought a diesel engine for a tea factory for no money...a violation of financial discipline." Someone sent a letter of complaint to Wang Bingqian, then minister of the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China. The complaint was approved and forwarded to An Qiyuan, then secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, who instructed the relevant departments to set up a six-member task force. The
task force investigated for 9 months, and formed more than 3,000 pages of investigation materials more than a foot thick, but there is no conclusion.
The Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee sent a deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Federation to Shangnan to intervene in the case. The deputy director read more than 3,000 pages of investigation materials overnight, and believed that several matters reflected in the complaint had been investigated. It was all Zhang Shuzhen's dedication to the public and pioneering and innovative actions for the tea business, and it did not harm the public and private. Therefore, she came to the conclusion: Zhang Shuzhen not only has no problems, but also should be vigorously promoted.
stigma cleared. This year, Zhang Shuzhen was awarded the title of "Outstanding Communist Party Member" by the Shangluo Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In the era of the planned economy, the production efficiency of collective tea farms was very low. When these collective tea farms were hungry and hungry, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was held, and the information on joint production contracting made Shuzhen unable to sit still. , she immediately set out to visit and formulate a joint production contracting plan for collective tea farms, and introduced the "five certain and one award" joint production contracting method.
The tea tree is alive, the tea leaves are made, and the output is up.
Shangnan tea has become a souvenir for Shangnan and even Shangluo people to visit relatives and friends, but Shangnan tea is bought by Shangnan people, many people drink it, but few people buy it. The tea farmers looked at the tea trees and the bags of tea, thinking about eating, sleeping, thinking day and night, how to make this tea soaked in sweat and hope into a good-looking ticket.
In that era of planned economy, tea was not allowed to be operated by individuals. Tea farms can only sell tea to county supply and marketing cooperatives, which in turn wholesale to supply and marketing stores in towns and villages. At that time, farmers relied on saving some eggs and digging some medicinal materials in exchange for some gross money. They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy 2 kilograms of kerosene and weighed some salt. Buying tea may be something that wealthy families only consider during Chinese New Year.
The national tea backlog is unsalable, and the price of tea is reduced by 50%-60%.
In 1984, more than 10,000 kilograms of tea purchased by the supply and marketing cooperatives in Shangluo region in the spring had not been sold in November. The director of the
Supply and Marketing Cooperative said to Shuzhen, "You don't want to develop tea. Who do you sell the tea to?" This river originates from the Shuangjian where Mr. Zhou Shu, who lived in seclusion in Haoshou Luli, " Shangshan Four Hao".
She sat down on the river stone, watching the clouds in the sky cover the moon's brilliance, watching a stream jumping among the rocks and weeds...
Her husband Yongcai came to her and put on a cotton coat for her.
"Shuzhen, don't worry about it. Once you've identified the way, you can open a road and build a bridge between mountains and water. Just go and do it."
"With tea growers, there must be tea sellers. Without tea sellers, tea trees are just like bushes and thorns in the mountains and plains."
"How to sell and to whom?"
Shuzhen needless to say, Yongcai can also be heard.
Yongcai knew that the State Council issued Document No. 75, allowing tea to be operated from a single channel to a multi-channel operation.
"If you want to sell, you must be led by a company and take the road of marketization. However, this road is a new road, which requires courage and courage. You have to do it and lead everyone to do it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, you go to sea Go, there is no salary, and me, I have a salary. We have both come here through hard times, if we wanted to be rich and stable, we would not have come here back then.”
graduated from collegeAfter Ye Shi gave up the opportunity to stay in the provincial capital, Yongcai gave up the opportunity to work in the provincial capital twice for Shuzhen and her tea tree.
The deep night sky began to clear, the Chang Geng star gradually disappeared, and the morning star rose brilliantly.
In 1985, Shangnan County Tea Associated Company was established.
11 years later, Shangnan County Tea Associates has been awarded the title of "Shaanxi Provincial Civilized Demonstration Unit", "Shaanxi Provincial Key Leading Enterprise of Agricultural Industrialization" and "National Advanced Unit for Science and Technology Promotion".
In 1989, she worked hard for 30 cold and summer trips for the "south of tea to the north". The tea tree grew strong, but Shuzhen fell ill and was diagnosed with serous cystadenocarcinoma of the right ovary. She calmly asked for surgery, "The surgery was successful, I continue to serve tea for the people; if I fail, even if it is a clinical trial in medicine, it will benefit future generations.”
, the then secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, entrusted the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to personally visit the hospital and ask about the treatment plan.
She once again lived up to expectations. In 1991, when the tea tree turned green, she returned to the tea garden after the second chemotherapy to check the preparation of spring tea.
When she started to fight again with the feeling of being reborn from the ashes. Yongcai fell ill again and was diagnosed with "advanced liver cancer".
On July 1, 1994, the birthday of the party, Yongcai left a will with infinite loyalty to the party, and took out 1,000 yuan from his meager income as the last party fee, and handed it over to Shangnan County. The Party branch of the Linte Bureau, on January 23, 1995, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a receipt for its party fees.
Yongcai said in his will, "I use my whole life to express my deep respect to my wife Zhang Shuzhen. She has made outstanding contributions to the development of Nancha. I hope that she will be respected and treated kindly by the whole society. It is extremely difficult to achieve this step."
Her life partner, the most staunch supporter of her career, is gone.
She is alone, she will continue to walk, for the people she loves, and the people who love her, for the original dream.
In 2004, at the age of 67, she worked hard for 46 years to move the tea from the south to the north. She still remembers the four words "seeking truth and innovation" given to her by Secretary Song of the county party committee at the beginning of tea planting. She continued to develop new varieties. Following " Shangnan Spring Tea " and "Shangnan Fairy Tea", after seeing the tea trees in Manshan being picked in spring, they fell into silence in summer, autumn and winter, and she thought again: how to make tea Tea production has changed from one season to three seasons, and the income of tea farmers has changed from 10% to 30%?
So, she moved towards semi-fermented famous tea " Tieguanyin " and "Oolong tea". It's still cold and hot in winter and she can't help her...
Zhang Shuzhen was awarded the honorary title of "Meritorious Merit in China's Reform", received special allowances from the State Council, the national "May 1st Labor Medal", and was elected as the "Guhan Cup" National Top Ten Poverty Alleviation Champion, the Communist Party of China Representative of the 13th and 14th National Congress, National Model Worker, National Outstanding Communist Party Member... She has won more than 130 awards at the county level and above, and more than a dozen national awards and honorary titles.
On August 19, 2022, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China called on the vast number of cadres and people in the province and all walks of life to learn from the "Three Qin Models" Zhang Shuzhen, Comrade Zhu Zhenxi and the Party Branch of Gaoxigou Village, Mizhi County. Learn from their political qualities of loyalty to the party and their beliefs... Learn from their dedication to the masses and indifferent to fame and fortune...
Facing the golden medals and trophies, she said: "The richest farmers are the highest reward."
Qingqing On May Day in 2014, at the age of 77, she took a team to Xinyang to investigate and learn how to make black tea. She fell in a hotel and fractured her waist. The child complained about why she didn't stay at home well on May Day, but she chose to travel for a long time with many people. She said, "Don't charge tolls on holidays!" As soon as she said this, she stunned the relatives, friends and medical staff around her. An expert with outstanding contributions like
, a tea webmaster with tens of millions of tangible assets and immeasurable intangible assets, and a tea leader, will he care about the tolls of several hundred yuan?
Yes, you didn't see that she has been wearing short hair for decades, no effort and no money, and the clothes are always the simplest tops and trousers. She eats, lives and works with the tea farmers all the year round, and she has nothing to do with food and clothing. attention and requirements.
She only pays attention to tea.
ShangnanOolong tea, Shangnan Tieguanyin, and Shangnan Jade Guanyin came out one after another, and the income of tea farmers increased exponentially. Still not satisfied, she introduced and made white tea and Fuzhuan black tea. Until today, the six-color tea leaves of "green, green, red, white, black, and yellow" in the Chinese tea family are available in Shangnan. Shangnan, a small county hidden deep in the mountains of Qinling Mountains, is famous for its tea and has become one of the top 100 tea counties in China.
In 2000, at the suggestion of Shuzhen, Shangnan held a tea festival. The successful cultivation of
tea gave confidence and inspiration to the later rulers.
Shangnan has successfully developed the Jinsixia Scenic Area.
In 2006, Shangnan held the 2nd Tourism Tea Festival...
Shangnan County Party Committee and County Government built a tea art street in the county seat. Today, on this 300-meter-long street with accumulated tea culture, in addition to the tea joint venture company, there are 18 tea operators and shops.
There are dozens of large and small tea companies in the county, most of which have their own tea planting bases, processing plants and sales points, many of which have settled in Xi'an.
In the spring, the girls in the village shuttled around the tea hills and tea fields to pick tea; tourists came here, sipping tea and enjoying tea art in the tea rooms.
Tea farmers have demolished their old houses, built buildings, and drove their cars out to contact business. After tea and dinner, in leisure time, sit on the quaint tea beach, three or five friends, and have a cup of tea. No matter where you go, you must first serve a cup of tea.
Shangnan has become rich, lively and beautiful because of tea, where is the former "Webmaster Zhang"?
In the southwest of the county seat, surrounded by mountains, is a quiet house with a sign of "Tea Research Institute" hanging at the door. Shuzhen stayed here quietly, with tea sets on the desk, and various rare and famous teas from all over the country in the cabinet. She watched, sipped, and pondered...
Hongxia of Shuanglong Tea Industry came and said "Zhang" Aunt", kind and natural. Hongxia's father was one of the three generals when Zhang Shuzhen moved south to the north. He built the Qingquan Tea Factory. Her tea trees grew in the crevices of the rock cliffs. She named her tea "Cliff Tea".
While making tea, Shuzhen asked Hongxia with concern how much black tea was left, then took out her phone and called another business owner: "Xiaojuan, don't you want to buy black tea, there is black tea here in Hongxia of Shuanglong. ." Then she said to Hongxia, "Bring some of your black tea next Monday, and I'll take a look."
Hongxia said that she still had some old tea and planned to make Fu bricks. Shuzhen said: "You think about it. If you want to make it, I will contact Jingyang and , and you can cooperate."
Hongxia also told Aunt Zhang that she planned to send her son to Sichuan to learn tea art.
A tea farmer in Shima Town came, "Master, why is my newly introduced tea tree getting worms this year?" Shuzhen has already resigned from the position of the master of the tea station, but she has been called the "master" for decades, everyone. are used to it.
Shuzhen said, "Don't worry, I'll go see what kind of worms are living another day, and don't use pesticides."
said, Shuzhen took a small packet of "Oriental Beauty" tea from the freezer and introduced: "This Tea is specially eaten by insects... Our Shangnan tea is precious because we don't use pesticides and fertilizers."
The person in charge of Jinsixia Scenic Spot is here, and the tea merchants in Fujian are here...
Shuzhen again He took out a bag of tea and introduced that this is your Fujian tea. Let us Shangnan people taste it, and then you can try our Shangnan Xianming tea to see the difference.
"The temperature difference between day and night in Shangnan is large, and the tea leaves have a sweet aftertaste. The leaves are thick and resistant to brewing, but the shape is not as good as that of southern tea..."
In the tea sea on the coffee table, there are rows of glasses with small numbers attached to them. Which one? She is very particular about what kind of tea is brewed in the cup. She skillfully takes tea, brews, pours tea, serves tea, then changes tea, and brews again... One leaf, one world, and all the complexities of a lifetime are in this brew. Clear, light, integrated...
