The next day, Cao Anping attended the 1959 National Advanced Commendation Conference.

He has a calm personality and having lived two lives, nothing can make him too excited.

But this time it was different. This year's commendation meeting was held in the Great Hall.

He also just found out now that the Great Hall was only delivered for use in September this year and was first used on National Day in October.

So he accidentally witnessed history. This was the first commendation meeting held in the Great Hall of the People!

Precisely because this year marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and because we have such a grand venue as the Great Hall of the People, we have called on advanced representatives from all over the country to come to Beijing to participate this year.

Some comrades in remote areas have to endure the hardship of more than ten days on the journey.

In previous years, due to many difficulties such as inconvenient travel and personal reasons, the advanced commendations were basically never gathered, and most of them were commended locally via telephone.

This year, there are individuals and groups that won national advanced awards, totaling several hundred people, and more than 90% of them have an image of simplicity and hard work.

There are very few people as young as Cao Anping who obviously have not experienced the hardships of life. Most of them are people who are fighting on the front line and participating in the great construction of the motherland.

Cao Anping sighed that he was lucky. The 'Safe Breathing Method' was just a benefit brought by time travel. In addition, he happened to be noticed by the World Health Organization and made contributions in diplomacy, which gave him this opportunity.

Therefore, at commendation meetings, he was extremely low-key, feeling that he was not worthy of the position. He just participated silently and declined the opportunity to speak on stage.

However, the interview with the newspaper could not be turned down. The reporter said with admiration that he would call on the people to learn from them and carry forward the advanced spirit.

He really had no reason to refuse, and in the end they took two photos of him, which they said would be on the front page tomorrow.

The national front page will definitely only have a group photo, so small that you can’t even see the faces of the people. But in the local version of this city, he will definitely be on the newspaper.

Before, the news that Cao Anping had become a national advanced figure had only been circulated in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and Nanluoguxiang. I believe that after tomorrow, he will definitely be recognized on the street.

I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. He just wants to be a low-key person.

We had a simple banquet in the auditorium at noon. Except for a bowl of braised pork and a fish, all the dishes were vegetarian.

It can be seen how serious the current situation is. The whole country is advocating hard work and simplicity to overcome the difficulties together.

However, the chef must be really good to have dishes served in the Great Hall. In any case, Cao Anping felt that this was the most delicious braised pork he had ever eaten in his two lifetimes, although the environment and mood might have contributed to it.

Cao Anping left after dinner. He always felt out of place with these people.

Their occupations are varied, including factory managers, workers, night soil collectors, waiters, etc., but they have one thing in common, that is, they all have the characteristics of this era.

That is, they all have the spirit of hard work and dedication, as well as an indomitable will, while Cao Anping is as different as a husky in a wolf pack.

Because he calls himself a salted fish, he wants to enter retirement life forty years in advance, which really makes him ashamed of himself.

But he didn't want to change himself, he could only escape. Perhaps this is the difference between people of later generations and people of this era.

Most young people in later generations have little sense of social responsibility. They always consider their own comfort first and are happy if they can avoid causing trouble to their family and society.

Cao Anping was such a post-00s in his previous life. He came from a wealthy family and had never suffered hardship, nor did he have any ambitions. As long as he did not cause trouble to the society, he wanted to do whatever he wanted.

After reporting to his leader, Cao Anping took a bicycle and rode to Nanluoguxiang.

Because he was not clear about today's procedures, he took a day off and now had to go home early.
