坪下河的赞歌
——写给张顺生老书记
●沂蒙一兵
今年是中国共产党建党105周年，在怀念和歌颂伟大领袖、革命先烈的同时，自然想起本村老书记克服千难万险，默默带领乡亲改天换地，为今天的幸福生活打下扎实基础、做出重要贡献的情景。更觉得有必要挖掘和宣扬优秀基层干部的模范事迹，鼓励后辈弘扬他们的宝贵精神，开辟中华民族更美好的未来！
——题记
斗篓山不忘您幼年那瘦小的身影，
战乱中磨亮的眼睛期盼着黎明。
沂蒙革命烈士后代，
不屈的性格在基因里萌生。
新中国的雨露育成青松，
黄土墙内举起右手誓言铮铮。
您铿锵的话语驱散乡亲们紧锁的愁绪，
树荫下、灶台旁展开最贴心的沟通。
您带领的宣传队让老少爷们其乐融融，
改变山村落后面貌的信心倍增。
老师的三尺讲台您是坚强的后盾，
田埂边的蓝图把沉睡的山野唤醒。
民生福祉您时刻挂在心中，
铁锹撞击与劳动号子交织--
呼应在沟壑峻岭。
集体的力量--
让那贫瘠的土地有了生机，
山河放辉焕发新容。
修路架桥血脉贯通，
水库塘坝映亮碧空。
弯弯水渠缠绕山脚，
祖辈干旱缺水的痛苦开始减轻。
有了水就有希望，
下游村庄也充满感激之情！
过去瓜干能填饱肚子都是奢侈，
慢慢地满山飘溢起了瓜果香风。
沂蒙精神有了新的传承，
田间地头兴起了多种经营。
山岗上回响起快乐的歌声，
坪下河的乡亲终于告别贫穷。
岁月悠悠，往事如风，
不变的是您对乡亲的牵挂对党的赤诚。
山坡上铭刻着您辛劳的脚印，
哗啦崖子的流水不停地传唱--
您对这片土地的恩德和丰功，
祝您壮如不老松永远翠青！

【张顺生简介】：
张顺生，农历1941年10月出生在山东省临沂市沂水县高桥镇坪下河村，年幼父亲牺牲，战乱中极其困难的环境磨练了他的坚强意志和积极向上的决心。建国后接受过基础文化教育，对党和乡亲有深厚的感情。1965年加入中国共产党，曾任牛旺乡团总支书记、大队会计。1970年上任村支部书记后，奋发有为，为村的基础建设和提升村民生活水平做出了突出贡献。因表现优异，曾被评为高桥镇十佳党支部书记，连任4届县人大代表（12至15届），2004年光荣退休。
坪下河村由三个自然村组成，偏僻的地理环境使交通和生活极为不便，文化教育落后。张顺生年轻时就性格开朗，多才多艺，业余时间积极参加和组织文艺演出，给生活贫困枯燥的乡亲带来了欢乐，是村里广受欢迎的宣传骨干和文化生活台柱子。他深知基础教育的重要性，担任村主要领导后，关心村小学老师的生活，全力改善办学条件，为提升本村基础教育水平发挥了重要作用。他始终以服务村民、发展经济、提升幸福指数为核心工作目标。立足坪下河村地理条件与资源现状，实事求是规划村内发展方向,兴修水利设施，架桥修路造福群众。当时村里的路沟沟坎坎，群众出行和上山干活十分困难。为解决这些卡脖子的问题，他发动群众，自力更生对上山的主要道路，特别是本村与邻庄相连的道路进行整修拓展，共修可通车道路10多公里，架设大小桥梁16座。为解决农田灌溉问题，修建大小水库5座、塘坝8处、水渠4公里多。在上级领导的扶持下，1985年三个自然村全部通上了生活照明电，并架设了水利用电线路和电灌设施。在镇党委的领导协调下，与牛旺、胡庄、核桃三个管理区一起修建了坪下河上河水库，缓解了干旱期间下游包括临近村庄浇地的用水问题。在抓好粮食生产的同时，鼓励多种经营，发展果园约80亩（西沟水库30亩、西山路以南50亩），为提升全体村民的生活水平奠定了扎实基础。
Ode to Zhang Shunsheng,
Pingxiahe’s Former Village Head
Mt Doulou recalls your weak build in youth,
Eyes sharp in war,
Longing for dawn’s truth.
A martyr’s descendant,
Reared by new China’s grace,
You vowed within that earthen wall
To take your place.
Your words undid each furrowed brow with grace,
The troupe you led brought smiles to every face.
By shady trees and kitchen hearths,
Hearts laid bare.
The teacher’s rostrum found your steadfast care.
Your blueprints woke the sleeping land
From its despair.
The people’s weal and woe lay in your sight,
With picks and chants,
You roused the village might—
Together they carved the mountain height,
Till hills shone bright
With fruitful toil and light.
You bridged the streams
And paved each rocky way.
Dams turned the sky to mirrored blue each day.
Canals coiled round the foothills’ gentle sweep—
Downstream, even neighboring villages
Your kindness reap.
When sweet-potato slices were before a feast enough,
Before long fruits and melon fragrance
Started to drift on every bluff.
The Yimeng spirit found new life in their hands,
New trades sprang up across the village lands.
Joyful songs echoed on the hilltops wide—
Pingxia’s folks at last crossed poverty’s divide.
Time flows like wind, yet nothing can erase
Your love for the folks, your fervent grace.
Your tireless steps are etched on slopes so steep.
Huala Crags’ waters as they flow and leap
Still chant your grace, your deeds so deep,
Wishing you--
Like the green pine, eternal keep!
Brief Profile of Zhang Shunsheng
Zhang Shunsheng was born in October 1941 (lunar calendar) in Pingxiahe, a remote village of Yishui County, Shandong Province. His father died as a martyr when he was small, and the extreme hardships of the war years forged in him an unyielding will and an unwavering determination to strive for peace and happy life. After the founding of the PRC, he received a basic education and developed a profound affection for the country and his fellow villagers. He joined the CPC in 1965 and served as the Youth League Branch Secretary of his local town and the Village Accountant. In 1970, he took office as the Party Branch Secretary of his village, where he worked with great drive and made outstanding contributions to infrastructure construction and the improvement of the villagers’ living standards. In recognition of his exceptional performance, he was honored as one of the Top Ten Party Branch Secretaries of Gaoqiao Township and was consecutively elected as a deputy to the County People’s Congress for four terms (from the 12th through to 15th). He retired with honor in 2004.
