   Xu Teli, born in 1877, came from Changsha, Hunan province. After the establishment¹ of People’s Republic of China² in 1949, he devoted³ himself to education in his seventies. He believed that as an Party member⁴, he should never forget to keep the fine conducts⁵ of the Party, especially the “seeking truth from facts” working style.

　Whether in wartime or peacetime, Xu always treated himself as an ordinary citizen. He would never become arrogant⁶ because of his age, high status and great contributions.

　Later, Xu was provided with a special car by the Party organization⁷, but he rarely took it. Xu said: “Life is still difficult for our people at present. How can we increase spending⁸ of our country and further burden?”

　In 1968, Xu donated his savings of years to the Party at the end of his life. He said to his children, “What you should inherit is not my possessions⁹, but the revolutionary¹⁰ spirit of the older generation.”
