在建黨百年之際，夠黨齡五十年的老黨員國家發(fā)紀(jì)念章一枚，以表彰他們不忘初心，牢記使命的優(yōu)良品質(zhì)。紀(jì)念章通徑為50毫米，材質(zhì)為銅和鋅合金，主色調(diào)為紅色和金色。主章由黨徽、五角星、旗幟、豐碑、向日葵等元素構(gòu)成。紀(jì)念章上的大字格外醒目：光榮在黨50年。
我老爸的黨齡已59年了，當(dāng)我?guī)退』貋頃r，他非常激動，向我講起了他入黨的經(jīng)歷！1962年，老爸所在的部隊(duì)接到了任務(wù)，緊急備戰(zhàn)，東南沿海局勢緊張，讓他們立刻開赴前線。老爸和戰(zhàn)友們坐著悶罐火車來到了福建龍巖。下了火車，大雨滂沱，電閃雷鳴，正好是臺風(fēng)肆虐季節(jié)，他們在大雨中急行軍趕到了目的地，他們和當(dāng)?shù)孛癖黄饟屝揠娋€，幫助他們練兵，一起訓(xùn)練，譜寫了一曲軍民魚水情的贊歌！
這么多年來，身為軍旅作家的父親不忘初心，牢記使命，下部隊(duì)去邊防體驗(yàn)生活，采訪了許多英雄人物，默默無聞無私奉獻(xiàn)的戰(zhàn)士們，發(fā)表了多篇歌頌祖國：歌頌英雄、歌頌黨的軍事題材的作品，反映了一位老軍人老黨員的高尚情操。
這些來前線的戰(zhàn)士中有一些是新兵，年齡不大，男孩子貪玩調(diào)皮搗蛋的天性還未褪去。一共有40名這樣的新兵交給了老爸，我老爸除了因人而異做好思想工作，還嚴(yán)格要求，訓(xùn)練非常嚴(yán)格，曾經(jīng)一天13次緊急集合訓(xùn)練……后來，這些兵都成了骨干力量，老爸也因?yàn)闃I(yè)績突出，在前線加入了中國共產(chǎn)黨。后來，這些骨干轉(zhuǎn)業(yè)到地方，有的成了業(yè)務(wù)尖子，有的當(dāng)了領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部，有的當(dāng)了先進(jìn)工作者，青年突擊手……老爸功不沒。
59年黨齡的老爸，這枚紀(jì)念章是對他堅(jiān)守共產(chǎn)主義信仰，不忘初心的最好的贊美和肯定！老爸激動地說：我是個孤兒，感恩中國共產(chǎn)黨，沒有共產(chǎn)黨就沒有新中國，就沒有我的今天！堅(jiān)定共產(chǎn)主義信仰終生不變！
Father's Medal
By Han Jin (China)
Tr.ZhongQuan (US)
On the centenary of the founding of the party, party members who have reached the age of 50 years are issued with a commemorative medal to commend them for not forgetting their original aspirations and keeping their mission in mind. The medal has a diameter of 50 mm, made of copper and zinc alloy, and the main colors are red and gold. The main section of the medal displays party emblems, that is: five-pointed stars, flags, monuments, sunflowers and other elements. The big characters on the medal are particularly eye-catching: Glory to the party for 50 years.
My dad has been in the party for 59 years. When I helped him to apply for the medal, he was very excited and told me about his experience of joining the party! In 1962, my father’s regiment received the command to urgently prepare for war. The situation along the southeast coast was tense, so they immediately went to the front line. Dad and his comrades were sent to Longyan in Fujian and were transported by freight train. On arrival they were greeted with heavy rain and thunder and lightning, as it was the typhoon season. They marched hurriedly to their destination in heavy rain where they were required to repair electric supply lines with local militiamen. This helped them with military training and practising together. My father wrote a song of praise comparing the relationship of fish and water to that between the military and civilians!
Some of the soldiers who came to the front line were young, raw recruits. These ‘boys' still had an adolescent character and were playful and mischievous. A total of 40 such recruits were handed over to my dad’s command. In addition, differing from person to person, my dad had to deal with ideology as well as requiring strict obedience from his trainees. Training was very hard, with 13 emergency training sessions to deal with each day... Later, these soldiers became the backbone of the force. Dad also joined the Communist Party of China on the front line because of his outstanding performance. Later, such ‘backbone’ troops were transferred to local areas, some becoming top businessmen, and yet others became leaders of elite cadres, and many more became advanced workers.... Dad made a great contribution.
Over the years, as a military writer, my father has not forgotten his original aspirations. Keeping his mission in mind, my dad went to troops on the border to experience their life, interviewing many heroes, unknown and selfless soldiers. He published many articles and tributes to the motherland: praising heroes and the party. These military works reflect the noble sentiments of an old soldier and an old party member.
My father has been a member of the party for 59 years, and this medal is the best compliment and affirmation for his adherence to communism and his original intentions! Dad said excitedly: I am an orphan and eternally grateful to the Chinese Communist Party. Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China, and I would have been no one without it! We are firm in our belief that communism will remain unchanged for life!
