In the study on the second floor of Xu Yuxiang, Hongxing Village, Qianwan New District, Ningbo City, the old man showed his "achievement": 86 volumes of historical events, 75 volumes of character deeds, 54 historical materials, 215 volumes copied The notes are divided into different categories, which recorded in detail the years and red marks of the great China for nearly a century.

In the study, the scent of ink flavor strikes. Xu Yuxiang's wife said with a smile: "Lao Xu has no other hobbies when he is working, so he has loved reading and reading newspapers." For more than 50 years, his bedrooms and study rooms are full of information collected from various places. It takes a lot of time to read, study, and organize.

In order to facilitate the search, he placed an iron bookshelf in the study, full of various newspapers and other information. "People's Daily", "Reference News", "New People's Evening News", "China Journal", "Yangcheng Evening News", "Newspaper Digest" and party newspapers in various places ... 107 different newspapers and periodicals were placed in other categories of Xu Yuxiang.

Half a century of sharpening shaped Xu Yuxiang's simple and innocent party spirit, and each word copied infiltrated an ordinary party member's firm belief and persistent pursuit of the party. To this day, Xu Yuxiang still remembers the noon of the party who was sworn in the party on July 1, 1980, and became a Chinese Communist Party member's pride until it is still in his heart to this day. "Before the founding of New China, I have seen the party's leading country for decades to make a tremendous change. I also want to be one of them and work hard for this." Xu Yuxiang said. It was this motivation that gave birth to his idea of ​​extract red historical materials.

After graduating from elementary school in 1950, Xu Yuxiang, 13, worked at home. "At that time, I still wanted to continue to read the word and read the book. The red dictionary can also be seen on the cover of the shallow character marks: Xu Yuxiang Shopping on December 6, 1952. This dictionary has since become an old friend who accompanied Xu Yuxiang for more than 70 years. Bleak

"At that time, I often encountered words that I didn't know when I read newspapers. I only understood the meaning of the words after consulting the dictionary." Keep reading to improve. Xu Yuxiang insisted on this idea and read books and newspapers. Until after getting married and having children, the meager salary needs to support their families, and the expenses required to order newspapers and periodical books have become difficult. In order to adhere to his red belief, he used his spare time to do part -time accounting to make up for the family in his spare time, so that his reading excerpts could be persisted.

Many years of reading and excerpts have developed a gentle temperament of Xu Yuxiang. In the eyes of neighbor neighbors, he always brings some books, and he is good at others. He often told his children that reading more books and more newspapers, developing the habit of reading, is beneficial to doing things. Until now, he is also talking about his grandchildren, and the children have grown up under his teachings.

Since 1971, Xu Yuxiang has been busy in the study, and this is still the case today. In 2017, he accidentally broke his legs, because he was inconvenient to go upstairs, he arranged a desk in the bedroom on the first floor. "At this age, my eyes were still clear, and my pen was moved. There was no reason to stop." These days, Xu Yuxiang began to pick up the information of the Revolution of 1911.

In countless late night, Xu Yuxiang wrote in the moonlight, and read it. Regardless of the cold winter or the summer of the summer, he can always focus on it. From kerosene lamps to incandescent lamps, from the huts to the building, from the young guy to the old man, it changed the bright moon outside the window. What is unchanged is the same red emotion.

Not long ago, Xu Yuxiang presented all the manuscripts that had been sorted out for the past 51 years to the party committee of Hongxing Village.To this end, he also wrote a new cover with a manuscript with a brush.After receiving this heavy gift from Hongxing Village, the Party Committee of Hongxing Village specially arranged a "old party member book house" and displayed his 215 volumes.Reporter Wu Dana Correspondent Sun Yizhen Chai Jinying
