Among the more than 40 veteran Party members who won the commemorative medal of "Glorious 50 Years in the Party" in Baiduo Township, Shibing County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, there are two couples. With common beliefs, they walked through decades of trials and hardships together, ushering in the great moment of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Li Zhongyao, Shi Shengying, Guding Village, Baiduo Township, Shibing County, led the commemorative medal of "Glory in the 50 Years of the Party"
"I used to be a woman director in the production brigade. Because of my active work and strong sense of responsibility, I was approved by the production brigade to join the Party in 1965. My wife (Li Zhongyao) joined the Party in 1966. After joining the Party, we became more strict with ourselves, listened to the call of the Party, and played a leading and exemplary role." Shi Shengying, an old party member in Guding Village, said.
After Li Zhongyao joined the Party, he went out to join the army. Shi Shengying shouldered all the burdens of the family, raised two young children alone, and played a "half sky" role in the position of women director.
Taking out the commemorative medal, Shi Shengying said to the reporter: "We all have more than 50 years of party age, and the country still remembers us. We feel extremely honored to get this commemorative medal. Today's good life is the concern of the party."
Li Zhongyao, with pale hair, was deaf and could not communicate with reporters. But when he heard everyone humming "No Communist Party, No New China", he held the badge in his hand, tears filled his eyes, and the crisp red song echoed in the yard for a long time.
The reporter came to the home of Qu Xingyun and Li Congyin, the octogenarian party member couple in Baiduo Village, along the winding path leading to the secluded place and smelling the fragrance of the soil.

"Now our village is vigorously engaged in the construction of a 'red and beautiful village'. The appearance and environment of the village have changed dramatically compared with the past. Almost all ordinary people live in new houses, and every family has family doctors. This happy life was unimaginable before," said Qu Xingyun.
On the morning of July 1, Qu Xingyun and his wife At home, I watched the congress celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, listened carefully to the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and expressed my honor and pride as a Communist.
"We must treasure the commemorative medals carefully, remember the honor given to us by the Party organization, be loyal to the Party, and be enthusiastic about it. Listen to the Party's words, feel the Party's kindness, follow the Party, continue to play the role of veteran Party members and comrades, and we will witness more glorious moments of the country," said Qu Xingyun.
In the past hard years, four old people have carved traces of vicissitudes on their cheeks. The commemorative medal of "Glory in the 50 Years of the Party" shines with their spiritual glory of taking root in the countryside as a Communist, and witnesses their glorious life for the Party.
Old is the vicissitudes of life, unchanged is the original heart, because of faith, they will always be young.
