(1) Introduction
There is no doubt that human society is always developing, material life is getting richer and richer, and people's lifestyle and consumption concept are also changing. However, this is not contradictory to the introduction of thrift. Thrift is to cherish the limited resources of human beings and the fruits of human labor, and to absorb the spirit of hard struggle from the fine traditions of our ancestors.
(2) factual arguments
Mao Zedong's frugal life
The TV documentary "Mao Zedong" shows a scene in which a health care doctor in Mao Zedong picked up a towel and blanket used by Mao Zedong before his death, which was covered with patches. He said that he had repeatedly suggested replacing the new main flag, but all of them were rejected. This is a portrayal of Mao Zedong's real life. An old military uniform worn by Mao Zedong in Yan 'an was washed white with 16 patches. His old slippers, with holes in the soles and wired uppers, have been mended and are still being worn.
He once said: "I can afford towels and blankets, but I can't afford to lose the hard-working spirit of the producers."
Xu Teli's chalk poems
Xu Teli, word teacher Tao, is from Changsha, Hunan. Proletarian revolutionist and educator. There is an anthology of Xu Teli's handed down education. He pays attention to moral cultivation and lives frugally. When he was the principal of Hunan No.1 Women's Normal School, he wrote a poem "Chalk Poetry", copied it on the blackboard and published it on campus:
Half chalk should be cherished, and public property should be cherished forever.
The students don't understand Yu Zhongqu, but they think Yu is a good man.
When he visits the whole school every day, he always picks up the discarded chalk heads and puts them in his pocket for his own class. In the years of Hunan No.1 Women's Normal School (also known as Paddy Field Normal School), he hardly used a new piece of chalk. Some students don't understand, but think he is too stingy. So Xu Teli wrote poems to educate students.
