On June 25, Zhou Yongkai, the winner of the July 1 medal, got up at more than 5 am.

It's more than an hour earlier than he usually gets up. With excitement and excitement, Zhou Yongkai will leave for Beijing via Chengdu to attend the "July 1 Medal" awarding ceremony. Zhou Yongkai is one of the 29 people who have won the highest honor in the party in China, with only two in Sichuan.

In early June, when Zhou Yongkai learned that he had won the "July 1st Medal", his first reaction was still as usual, "the party has educated and trained me for 76 years, and I always feel that I have done too little for the party and the people." He repeated it.

Zhou Yongkai, who won the highest honor in the party, will receive the "July 1st Medal" at the solemn Great Hall of the people. He is very excited. According to the relevant requirements, he began to prepare, including vaccination, home isolation, and even to find out some books and materials to take to Beijing to have a look in his spare time.

"In the solemn Great Hall of the people, if you want to meet so many people, you must be clean and tidy." The day before his departure, Zhou Yongkai shaved and was going to Beijing to have his hair cut.

On the 25th, after getting up, Zhou Yongkai put on his "new" Zhongshan suit, which was worn only once in December last year. At that time, entrusted by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the provincial Party committee awarded him the medal and certificate of "National Excellent Communist Party member" in Chengdu. After that, he was always frugal and didn't want to wear it. In addition, he wears the party badge every day. This time in Beijing, he put on a new Party member badge. Changing into "new" clothes and wearing a new Party member badge on his chest, Zhou Yong is happy.

Different from the last time I went to Chengdu with my wife to get the medal certificate of "national outstanding communist party member", this time, because of physical reasons, my wife couldn't go to Beijing. At about 9 o'clock that day, Zhou Yongkai's eldest son and granddaughter came to Zhou Yongkai's home. They will accompany Zhou Yongkai to Beijing. Before leaving, three generations of a family gathered for lunch and left for Dazhou railway station at 1:30 p.m.

"Lao Zhou, when will you be back?" His wife held Zhou Yongkai's hands tightly and asked repeatedly“ Take care of yourself at home. " Before getting on the bus, Zhou Yongkai waved to his wife. The car started, and they said goodbye.
