The poetry and calligraphy in the belly exude a natural charm (Part 2)

Fenggang has his own motto, which is included in the "Dictionary of Famous Quotes". His motto is: "To improve oneself with diligence, overcome difficulties with courage, create the future with wisdom, and forge life with dedication." This is a summary of himself and a motivation for himself. This is his code of conduct and his belief in achieving his career. He said and did it this way, fulfilling his words with his actions and depicting his shining life trajectory with his achievements.
Fenggang often tells me that the love and pursuit of art is actually a person's exploration and improvement of their own value. Although it is a peripheral skill, it is a cultivation and sublimation of a person's sentiment. Doing things has an end, but life has no end; being an official has an end, but art has no end. A person's life is a life of constant self-improvement. Only by establishing a correct outlook on life and values can we grasp the correct direction in being a person and doing things, and be neither humble nor arrogant, and be brave to explore. Fenggang handles official duties with great talent and ease, thus being able to handle heavy tasks with ease.
Fenggang can be said to have achieved success at a young age, becoming the largest official in the village at the age of 18- the party branch secretary. Then take the school entrance exam and become a teacher. At the age of 23, he was promoted to the countryside with talent and virtue, and appointed as the director of the county committee's organization department office. At the age of 28, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the County Committee, and immediately served as the leader of the County Committee's Theoretical Group. During the eight years of the "Anti Japanese War" by the Propaganda Department, although it was a stagnation in the pace of Fenggang's career, it was a golden season for Fenggang's knowledge and cultivation. During this period, Fenggang deeply studied Marxism Leninism and produced outstanding works, with over a million words of papers and monographs often winning national awards. His monograph "Dialectical Thinking on Ideological and Political Work" received unanimous praise from leaders and experts. The poetry collection 'Yanmen Xingyin' won the first prize in the national evaluation of the Chinese Writers' Century Forum. Calligraphy and root carving have also repeatedly won awards both inside and outside the province. If there is no real talent and practical learning, how can these positions be used for counting for a long time?
Although Fenggang is a weak scholar, he has the talent of a general. Turning back the raging waves, carving rotten wood and endowing it with magic, the power of Fenggang is admirable. Serving as the director of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau for 5 years may have been the busiest, most tiring, most difficult, yet fulfilling, most glorious, and most memorable 5 years in Fenggang's life. At that time, the broadcasting bureau was a chaotic mess with restless hearts, stagnant careers, numerous contradictions, and numerous difficulties. Fenggang was entrusted with the task of putting theory into practice and promises into action during times of crisis, fully unleashing his talent for helping the world. Be bold and decisive, with a noble and righteous spirit, to rectify the evil and petty tendencies. By seeking practical results, gathering people's hearts for development, and creating brilliance, he has achieved his strategic goals of stabilizing the situation for one year, being advanced in the county for two years, advanced in the whole district for three years, and advanced in the whole province for four years. By the time he was promoted to the post of Director of Publicity of the County Party Committee, the Radio and Television Bureau had become the exemplary organization of the province's radio and television system, and thus won the honor of being an advanced radio and television county for Dai County. The achievements are obvious to all, but the joys and sorrows of entrepreneurial struggle are only deeply experienced in Fenggang.
Fenggang said that even now, his feelings for the Broadcasting Bureau are still deep. It was a passionate and burning period, and he almost devoted all his intelligence and energy to the construction of the new generation of broadcasting and television industry without reservation. During that time, he almost gave up his beloved artistic creations such as calligraphy and root carving, but he gained bigger works one by one. Looking back now, the successful transformation of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau is actually a masterpiece created by Fenggang with his calligraphy and root carving creative concepts. He wrote passionate poems on an almost tattered piece of paper, carving a nearly abandoned decayed root into a magical work. Art is everywhere in life, and the path of art is interconnected.
Fenggang is not a reformer, but he always has innovative thinking when doing things. In 1998, when Fenggang returned to work in the propaganda department for the second time, the minister had already removed the word "deputy". Fenggang, who has been trained by the Broadcasting Bureau, is more proficient in propaganda work. What he pursues is how to continuously innovate propaganda work in the new era. Fenggang said that in order to be a good propaganda minister, one must be good at being a director, planning, especially for propaganda work in poverty-stricken areas, and even more so, be able to cook a meal without rice. We should combine good ideas and planning with the economy, align with the market, and take the path of big publicity. For four years, as the Minister of Propaganda, Fenggang has accomplished a large number of significant pioneering and innovative events. I have personally organized and planned over 30 large-scale promotional and educational activities, and collaborated with private entrepreneurs to successfully carry out more than 10 large-scale promotional and cultural events. The organization has compiled the textbook "Essential Reading for Civilized Citizens in Dai County" and carried out learning activities. Revise the "Convention on Civilized Citizens of Dai County" and carry out activities such as going to the streets, entering shops, and entering workplaces. Organize literary and artistic workers in the entire county to establish various professional associations and improve the team. Especially when he organized the joint publication of a large-scale collection of cultural talents from Daixian County, titled 'Yanmen Wencong', it reflects his great courage and generosity. As Chen Sen, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Propaganda (currently the Minister of Organization), said, "This is another major measure for him to love propaganda work, actively explore new ideas, innovate new methods, and explore new ways of propaganda work. The publication of 'Yanmen Wencong' is not only a cultural event and initiative of Daixian, a historical and cultural city, but also a concentrated display of the cultural prosperity of our Xinzhou city. It is a very meaningful practice and exploration for the development of the cultural industry. I am pleased to have such a brave and pioneering cadre in our Xinzhou propaganda cadre team. This evaluation can be said to be objective and fair. Many leaders of the Municipal Party Committee's Propaganda Department sincerely say, 'Minister Fenggang is the most competent, excellent, and talented propaganda minister in the city.' Being able to receive such an evaluation is the result of Fenggang's comprehensive dedication to work ability and personal charm. However, during his four years as Minister of Propaganda, the standing committee position he was entitled to remained unresolved. The unfairness in treatment did not affect or suppress his serious and responsible work, his willingness to endure humiliation, and his courage to explore. Under his leadership, the county's news and external publicity work was advanced in the city, and the radio and television village communication work was leading in the province. The cultural work was named an advanced county by the provincial government, and the county's propaganda and cultural system work as a whole entered a new glorious stage in history. Fenggang is such a person who only talks about dedication and does not seek anything from others. To receive the favor of a drop of water from someone, one must repay it with a gushing spring. To bestow the favor of a gushing spring upon someone, one does not seek the return of a drop of water. The broad mindedness and great realm of Fenggang often leave me with no choice but to look up at the mountains.
There is justice in the world. In the 2003 county-level leadership team election, Fenggang was elected with the highest number of votes in the differential election for deputy county mayor of the People's Congress. This is the trust and support of the entire county people towards him. Fenggang is deeply gratified by this. Indeed, at this moment, the recognition of the people is the greatest happiness in his life. Although there are plenty of gold and silver cups, he values the reputation of the people more. Although there are many gold and silver awards, he values the praise of the people more.
