Yesterday when I took my breakfast I happened to find the film Jiao Yulu was being shown on TV. I got carried away immediately. Now and then I was moved to tears. The acting was really good. Li Xuejian played the hero very well.

Jiao was appointed as secretary of Lankao county, almost the poorest county in our country during the hard times. Being fearless of difficulties, he led the cadres and the masses fighting the sand storm, flood and salinity, the three calamities of the locality.

He was honest and self-disciplined first before requiring others. He died of liver cancer at the age of 42 after prolonged hard work in spite of his illness.
