Introduction to Mr. Zhangzhen's Book - My Education Family and Me

My review of the book

Mr.Zhang Zhen's book is really touching. Based on the principle of being loyal to history, respecting facts, facing up to the past and speaking bluntly, he made an objective and detailed review and summary of his past. After reading, I deeply feel the "education family" from generation to generation of character, mind and pattern.Through the memories of his past work and life, it also reflected the municipal party secretary Ma Qiaozhen and their silent pay to the people of Jincheng, and the endurance and determination when they were hit and revenged by others.

Time gave him not only the courage to ride the wind and waves, but also left him to be the first, the outstanding achievements of the bold. After reading this book, I learned and absorbed the spirit and power contained therein. I will not forget; everyone who has struggled in Aidphar will not forget; The people of Jincheng will not forget too!

Mr. Zhangzhen In My Eyes

Mr. Zhangzhen is the author of the book, My Education Family and Me, also my supervisor when I worked in the government twenty years ago, but I prefer to say he is my teacher, friend and more. 

I got to know Mr. Zhang Zhen in 1995 when he was appointed as the Director of Science&Technology Committe of Jincheng, whereas I served in Science&Technology Committe of Gaoping. What impressed and encouraged me in my whole life are his affable, approachable, straight-out personality and his enthusiasm, preciseness, intensive study on Science&Tech Management.

From my impression on Mr. Zhang Zhen, he isn't very social man even though he influenced so many people due to his Education and Government family background. Most of his time was spent on work, and the rest is his peace time, staying at home, thinking,reading and studying, but this didn't stop his contacting and becoming the friend of many others who have the same points of views or is glad to discuss work and life with him. His friends rang from top government officials to plain civilians. An proved case is that this book was finished by several his populace friends helping in typing, editing and printing, one of them is Yunxia Wen, also my colleague of Aidphar.

Mr. Zhang is a rare leader with a passion for economic, science and technology, devoting almost all his energy to the development and management of economic, science and technology management, rather than a rush to achieve political progress. He helped to develop Jincheng, a newly established city, into a National advanced city in science and technology.

Part of the preface to the book

...

I once told people: "I have no hobbies in my life, only" alone "and" reading "myself.

I like reading since childhood, after retirement, without no other hobbies, I became a "homebody" like the memory of the dead of night.

"No Atter how forgetful I am when I grow old,I will ALWAYS miss you."

I found that even though many things have passed with the passage of time, I thought I could forget，but the reality told, it has been quietly hidden in my heart

Therefore, I would like to use the way of writing a memoir to tell the story that has happened in the past.

In my spare time, I looked up at the starry sky and asked weakly:

Would an ordinary me, who would never be found in a cart, dare to write a memoir?"

I seem to hear a voice: “Havn’t you woken up yet? Go to bed early!"

From then on, this thought was stillborn.

Later, I received memoirs written by some colleagues, and after much thought, I decided to exhaust my memory and tell a real story about me and my family.

Recall the story of yesterday, for me, Is it "sour"? Is it sweet? "Bitter"? Is it sad? Is it pain? Or "happy"? It's all a song with a long aftertaste.

Recalling the story of yesterday is my infinite love for the happy time I had in the past, it is to reflect on the past, it is to cherish today, and it is to look forward to a better "Chinese dream" tomorrow!

Recall father, mother yesterday's story, I want to talk about the infinite gratitude and nostalgia to the parents!

Recalling the story of my wife yesterday, I want to express my eternal gratitude and attachment to my wife who has been with me for decades!

...

More than 50 years ago, I left Taiyuan, where I had lived for more than 20 years, with a box of books (mostly university textbooks) in my hand, and came to the most basic level of society in southeast Shanxi.

A lifelong dream!

Recalling my story yesterday, I just want to use this way to express my gratitude to my relatives, friends, leaders and colleagues who have helped me and cared for me in the past decades.

This memory, not fiction, all from my own eyes, ears, experience. To the memory, I write what I think in my heart,what I tell and what I know:

First, privacy is unavoidable.

Second, it is inevitable to have improper understanding, emotional words:

Third, this article is mainly for sustenance of my thoughts and gratitude.

Therefore, I don't want it to become the "chicken ribs" of others. Therefore, I just want to present this memory to the relatives and friends who are willing to read it as a souvenir.
