It's hard to accomplish anything through the ages, but everything can become bald —— Random thoughts on litchi in Chang 'an

Speaking of litchi, I don't know what everyone will think of first. Two poems will pop up in my mind. The first song is Su Shi's "300 lychees a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person"; The other is Du Mu's "Red Dust Riding a Princess and Laughing, No One Know It's Litchi". Litchi in Chang 'an is just related to these two poems. It is based on the history of poetry, with Chang 'an and Lingnan as the main areas and litchi as the forerunner. With the background of Tang Shi, knowledge of hydrology, mountains and rivers, and his own interpretation, the author tells the story of the process of fresh litchi being sent from Lingnan to Chang 'an. The story is exciting, full of twists and turns, and still meaningful.

I will share this book with you from three aspects: content summary, reading experience and work inspiration.

? I. Executive summary

Before introducing the contents of the book, I want to ask you a question.

If one day you open your eyes and find yourself dreaming of Datang. At that time, in order to make the imperial concubine happy, the emperor wanted to give her fresh litchi produced in Lingnan as a birthday present. Your task is to buy litchi. Litchi is characterized by: the color changed on the first day, the fragrance changed on the second day and the taste changed on the third day. The distance from Lingnan to Chang 'an is more than 5,000 miles, and the best means of transportation is horse. You have no money, no horse, and not now, but you can't finish the shopping task-go to hell! What would you do?

Li Shande, a small official of Jiupin Sesame, is facing this problem. With his outstanding performance in computer, he entered Chang 'an City to work. At the age of 52, he finally saved enough down payment and bought a house with a loan. As a result, on the day when he asked for leave to go through the formalities, he was put together by his boss and colleagues. Under a top hat and several drinks, Li Shande lost his head and accepted the task we just said. Nowadays, the "freedom of fresh litchi" is no longer a problem under the escort of science and technology, but it is more difficult than going to heaven in Datang. Li Shande spent most of his life, and finally he was able to give his wife and daughter a stable home. Before he moves in, he will face the destruction of his family.

At the suggestion of his good friend Du Fu, Li Shande, who was determined to win, decided to make a living by relying on his familiar arithmetic and went to Lingnan for a personal inspection. With the help of Shang Hu Su Liang, Aunt Litchi Farmer and others, after careful calculation and many experiments, he got the earliest way to send fresh litchi to Chang 'an in 1 1 day.

? Li Shande, who called me back to Chang 'an, was overwhelmed by all kinds of complicated procedures and layers of examination and approval, and was almost killed by intrigue and conspiracy in officialdom. After many twists and turns, he got Yang's favorite and began to transport litchi.

I thought I could rest easy, but it was far more difficult than I expected. At the cost of losing friends, breaking promises and limping a leg, fresh lychee was finally delivered on the birthday of the imperial concubine-only two altars a trip. Seeing that the apprentice is just around the corner, Li Shande doesn't want to go against his original intention. He cried blood and questioned the right. He was eventually exiled to Lingnan and became a litchi farmer, but he also avoided the Anshi Rebellion in blood shed.

Second, the reading experience

? (1) Cultivate people's feelings, stand firm on the people's stand and build loyalty.

? Chang 'an Litchi examines major events in history books from the perspective of Li Shande, a grass-roots official. For the sake of his appetite, the emperor "took it from the people and used it for the people". He never cared about the 30-acre orchard behind the two litchi jars. The rider was in danger, the shepherd's horse died suddenly, and many people died because of the broken oars in the river. He never cared about the sufferings of the people. In the end, the Anshi Rebellion broke out and the imperial power changed.

Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Being divorced from the masses is a taboo for being in power. In our work, we should put the people's interests first, serve the people wholeheartedly, cultivate people's feelings, stand firm on the people's stand, and carry out the practical activities of "I do practical things for the masses" in a down-to-earth manner, so as to ensure that we can go steadily and far on the road of performing our duties, using power, starting a business and taking responsibility.

(two) to consolidate business skills, improve service level, strengthen the sense of responsibility.

Li Shande has profound attainments in mathematics, excellent deductive ability and high execution. He accurately completed the cost accounting and traded the initial capital with Shang Hu, which laid the foundation for many experiments. He invented the "grid eye method" to record the transportation time and litchi state under different routes and different preservation methods, and constantly optimize the scheme; He drew a topographic map, demonstrated the perfect fit, won the support of resources, and finally solved the relay transportation problem of fresh litchi.

"It takes hard work to strike while the iron is hot". It is necessary to establish a good image of "extensive reading, proficient in business and first-class service", study the works carefully, constantly improve the theoretical level and policy level, and strive to be a "policy expert" and a "walking dictionary" in the post. Always keep enterprising spirit, thoroughly understand theoretical knowledge, understand the policy of benefiting the people, consolidate business skills and improve service level.

(3) Maintain the spirit of struggle, go all out and strive for achievements.

"Even if I fail, I want to know how far I am." This is what Li Shande said after implementing a drill plan and all four action plans failed. He took the method of controlling variables and resuming deduction, groped in failure, repeatedly demonstrated and finally completed the task.

? This method is really great, and the deepest feeling is the 2 1 day guardian war I launched in the community. Although I worked as the first secretary in the community for about half a year and completed the task of epidemic prevention and control in early 2020, in the face of many difficulties such as grid workers, volunteers, directors and most sinking cadres being isolated due to epidemic prevention requirements, the social workers I supported were all miscellaneous troops deployed by various communities, and the sinking cadres did not cooperate, so the existing material reserves could not be used, and the location of sampling stations and the amount of sampling tasks were unknown. We need to form a team at night 10. That night, I stayed up all night with the secretary of the community and the secretary of the support club. On the basis of several rounds of large-scale screening in the community, I sorted out the number of people who need information input, order maintenance and auxiliary personnel, as well as the number of materials needed, and defined the directors of each sampling station to support social workers. Under the hasty preparation, we are the last community in the street to complete the testing task. That night, we put forward the proposal again. In addition to defining the director, we also defined the personnel corresponding to different positions. But the director didn't know the staff at the time of screening, and there was no one at the counter. After the second screening, we re-screened and defined the staff at each table, but faced with the different evacuation time of the sampling table, the team appeared a little discordant voice; After the third screening, we re-examined and defined the collection tasks of each sampling station, but the doctors were unwilling to cooperate when they entered the house. After four screenings, we re-listed, worked out doctors' work plans with different numbers of doctors, clearly informed doctors of their workload, and asked doctors to claim their posts themselves. In this way, in round after round of repeated deduction, our five-screen sampling speed has become the first in the street. Therefore, failure is not terrible and the unknown is not terrible. The terrible thing is to lose the courage to face difficulties and explore.

The sentence "Nothing can be accomplished without success" is a portrayal of Li Shande and the daily work of thousands of grassroots civil servants in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. Through the stories in the book and my working experience in nucleic acid detection, I deeply realized that behind every major event and every huge project, there are many trivial, difficult and unknown details, and there are many tedious things to plan and deal with. I hope everyone will read more books, strengthen political leadership and contribute to the second centennial goal.
