Lao Zhou is gone. As soon as I go to work, the director told us this unfortunate news. I was stunned. The day before yesterday, he also took a manuscript to me and asked me to help him contribute to the Procuratorate. I promised that I hadn't had time because I was busy at work. Life is impermanent, unexpected!

I did not have known each other with Lao Zhou for a long time. Last year, I celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. As a retired prosecutor's cadre in the hospital, he participated in the "Glory of the Fifty Years of the Party" commemorative event to issue activities. He is not tall, medium obese, spiritual, eyes like a torch, like a flood bell. He took the initiative to say hello to us and introduced himself, talking and laughing, very easy -going. Since then, the party branch of retired cadres has been engaged in activities every month, and he came early and never absent. He also teased that the procuratorate was my home. As soon as you see you with strange and young faces, you can't help thinking about your youth. We added WeChat to each other and became the year -on -year friendship.

Lao Zhou comes from the countryside. It was originally a small mountain village with more than forty people behind it, breeding fields for generations. After the founding of New China, he was the first to go to school in the village. When he was in elementary school, he was recommended to study junior high school due to excellent results. Due to the poor family, the school eliminated him for tuition fees and enjoyed a student of 3 yuan per semester. After graduating from junior high school, he went home to work farmers and served as a production team accountant and barefoot doctor. At that time, the idols he worshiped in his heart were Qiu Shaoyun and Lei Feng.

With the worship of the hero, in the winter, he signed up to join the army and became a warrior of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He joined the party in the army, mentioned it, and was awarded many times. Because of the thin cultural foundation, the party organization sent him to the training course of the division and the Youth League to learn news writing. Through training, his writing level has been improved to a certain extent, and many manuscripts have been published in various newspapers and magazines in the army.

Lao Zhou spent more than ten years of military career in the troops. After returning to his hometown, he served as the director and secretary of the party branch in the enterprise. The Party Organization has arranged him to study at the business training course held by the superior procuratorial organs. The members of the hospital party group and other duties have handled hundreds of criminal cases. Leaders, colleagues and local people have high evaluation of him.

In the afternoon of that year, he and his colleagues rode a bicycle to a village at 20 miles away from a victim's family. After the inquiry, it was 7 pm. It was too late, and they pretended to be a question. They hurriedly returned to the unit. When I walked halfway, the weather changed suddenly, and the wind was a big deal. Immediately after the thunder and electricity, it took heavy rain. They hurried to a grocery store on the roadside to avoid. At this time, God seemed to be on purpose with them. The rain was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no sign of stopping. Seeing that the sky was dark a little, it was anxious, but helplessly with a record. The rain was finally smaller, but at this time it was dark outside, and he had to report to the prosecutor when he went back. Therefore, they asked the fellow to ask a plastic bag to wrap the transcript, and in their arms, and set foot on the return journey again. The wind was scratching, and a coolness was full of body, and his stomach gurgled, but in order to rush back early, he couldn't care about these. It was 10 o'clock in the evening.

"At that time, the conditions were more difficult than now. There was only a dilapidated jeep in the whole courtyard. There were fewer people in the car. The police officers rely on bicycles when they went out to handle the case. "". Lao Zhou said with a smile.

Lao Zhou in life is such a sincere, optimistic and strong person.

After retiring, he actively participated in the gaming and Tai Chi and other fitness sports carried out by the Senior Sports Association. The enthusiasm for reading and writing has not diminished. He often contributed to local literary publications and won many county and municipal outstanding thesis awards. He likes to sing positive energy of society with poetry, whipping the wind and evil. He wrote in the poem: You/Handheld the Arrow of the Law/Different from the good and bad in the case/hit the evil wolf/care for the lambs ... for society's peace/punish evil ". It is a drizzle. Literature is a belief in him, and he has to spread his movement with the mood of evangelism.

He was clean and honest all his life. He once told his family that people must have a clean heart. No matter whether it is high or low, the kindness is the most beautiful. He has a big habit and can't change it. He always likes to fight for unexplained things. Some people say that he is stubborn, loves to manage things, and is too serious. Although he is sometimes disgusted, he doesn't care.

According to Lao Zhou's son -in -law, the elderly diagnosed with bowel cancer before Friday. After torture, he still maintained an optimistic attitude. He devoted himself to reading and writing. He wrote a lot of articles. Unexpectedly, that day, he came to the hospital to submit the last difference.

Lao Zhou is gone, 77 years old. There are his avatars in my WeChat. The Sri Lanka has drove to the west, leaving Shuxiang alone in the world, and hope that Lao Zhou has no pain in heaven!
