What made you establish your idol?

It was thirty-four years ago, as a cadre of political organs in Laoshan frontline troops, I was responsible for collecting and writing the exemplary deeds of a fighting hero. Unfortunately, this combat hero was struck by lightning when opening a road for a large army, and his legs were injured. He had to amputate from the root of his thigh and became a "half man" with only 9 centimeters. From injury to hospitalization, he didn't shed a tear, and he was very strong, so he was known as the "Steel Warrior".

I asked him where this power came from, and he told me that since I joined the heroic army with a glorious tradition as a soldier, I was assigned to the "Yang Zirong Hero Reconnaissance Company", and heroes such as Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui and the old platoon leader Yang Zirong became my idols. The descendants of heroes should not be cowards, but must hold on at critical moments. This answer deeply touched me and made me really feel that idols are very important for people's growth. In history, everyone who has made a difference has an idol to promote his growth.

Sima Qian was still able to pull himself together and write a book with great indignation after suffering a humiliating imprisonment, and he exchanged ten years of hardships for a Historical Records. This is because he thought that the sages were determined in adversity and made great achievements through hardships, so as to motivate himself to keep forging ahead. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao was ordered to go to the Western Regions to attack the Xiongnu forces with heroic spirit and indomitable will, to help people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions get rid of slavery, to restore the ties between the Western Regions and the Mainland, and to rebuild the arteries of economic and cultural exchanges, relying on the fact that "a gentleman has no ambition, but he should still serve Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian (both sages who went to the Western Regions) and make contributions to foreign countries". Deng Tingzhen, who was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi before the Opium War, took the initiative to ban opium smuggling, collect opium and rectify coastal defense, and made great contributions to the anti-smoking struggle and the war against aggression, because he admired Lin Zexu's ideas and consciously made an appointment with Si Qi.

On the contrary, looking at many negative figures in history, they made moves against the historical trend at critical moments, or deviated from the correct life track because of the wrong choice of idols, or there were no idols and correct and noble pursuits at all. Up to today, people of insight take successful people and hero models as examples, fasten the first button of life and start a business in a down-to-earth manner; Indulging in idolize, longing for luxury, and living in a muddle can only bring bad luck to people and interpret the tragedy of "the ideal is lost and life is bitter".

Take San Zi Jing as an example. There are many idols in it. For example, Meng Mu, who broke the loom in order to educate his children to move from one neighborhood to another, knew Huang Xiang who cared about his parents' warmth and coldness at the age of nine, Che Yin and Sun Kang, the protagonists of "Blinking Fireflies and Reflecting Snow", Dou Yanshan, who taught his children well, Kong Rong, who knew how to "let pears" at the age of four, and Su Laoquan, who learned angrily at the age of twenty-seven. In the final analysis, learning the Three Character Classics is to let teenagers plant ideological seeds of fine morality and lofty spirit from childhood and build a national soul that inherits the essence of civilization. With the passage of time and the changes of the times, many examples have emerged in our country for today's people to learn from and emulate. Whoever can take the initiative to meet the sage Si Qi can learn rich moral nutrition and create a wonderful life. "Only great and pure role models can guide us to have noble thoughts and behaviors." Indeed, idols, like a mirror, can see their own gaps. As long as others have strengths, they should learn with an open mind.

The establishment of idols is neither achieved overnight nor once and for all. It needs long-term consideration and continuous cultivation. In short, to establish idols, we must first have a humble attitude. Only when you have self-knowledge and often don't satisfy your knowledge and conduct can you discover the strengths of others, find your own shortcomings and sprout a strong desire to learn from others. Secondly, we must be brave enough to change. "To err is human, to err is human." There are shortcomings and mistakes that are not terrible, so it is good to correct them quickly. Then there is the need to apply what you have learned.

If you have a good idol, you should analyze what is good about others and how you can work hard to catch up. Tears welled up in my eyes as soon as I heard the exemplary deeds, and my blood boiled. When I was in actual work, I still went my own way step by step, and I was "excited to learn but not moved to do it". Such a learning attitude is absolutely impossible.
