Xu Zhi's dedication to the public and selflessness to personal interests.

1On August 5, 945, the Japanese invaders announced their unconditional surrender. Because of his strong working ability, high political quality and familiarity with the situation in Northeast China, Xu Zhi was selected as the first batch in Northeast China. * * * Liaoning Provincial Party Committee appointed Xu Zhi as secretary of Changtu County Party Committee and county magistrate according to the overall plan of cadres' hometown. On June+10/October, 5438, Xu Zhi received Changtu with nine cadres, 1 guards and two guns (Xu Zhi 1 pistols, guards 1 carbines). At that time, he only had 1 volume of Yan 'an Rectification Literature, Selected Works of Lenin and On Protracted War, which was deeply respected by the masses. With the collection and cleaning of weapons left by the enemy and puppet troops, the cadres and soldiers in the exhibition have weapons, but the rest are sealed up. He is generous to others. Any comrade who opens up new areas and passes through this country will spare no effort to help others or even sacrifice himself for others if he wants something. He stayed in Changtu for three months for the sake of public interests and private interests. It was not until the Spring Festival that his comrades advised him to reunite with his family who had been away from home for more than eight years that he entered the house. I went home for two days and then went back to the county government. My uncle is wearing a fur coat of the liquidated enemy puppet government assets. Soon, he sent the guard Wang Delin to get it back.

During this period, the court vassal of Changtu pseudo-county magistrate and the gentry Qi Yating formed the "Changtu Local Public Security Maintenance Association", and the pseudo-police and pseudo-national soldiers jointly compiled the Changtu County Public Security Team to control the county. The Kuomintang county party headquarters sneaked into important towns and villages in an attempt to grow and take root. The Kuomintang Battlefield Rehabilitation Working Group formed an "assassination group" with pseudo-constitutional secrets, always ready to destroy our political power. 10 After this month, the number of dispatched and newly recruited cadres increased one after another. At the end of the year, Xu Zhi led cadres to open up work in the new district, accepted the "Changtu Local Security Council", strived for the pseudo-county magistrate to change course, created county-level leading organs, mobilized local enlightened people, elected county councils, and personally taught the cadres and soldiers of the public security team to serve the people and change their positions. Strictly rejected the request of Zhao Huidong, the county magistrate of the Kuomintang, to "survive", drove away the rabble of the Kuomintang and stabilized the situation in Changtu; Cracked and quelled the attempted armed rebellion of the public security forces; Suppressed traitors who betrayed national interests and fished in the village; Liquidate the assets of the enemy and puppet troops.
