胡耀邦幽默风趣,廉洁自律,毫无领导架子,总是以一个普通群众身份体察民情民意,从“胡耀邦不吃鸡,也不吃鱼”的故事就可见一斑。1962年,时任共青团中央第一书记的胡耀邦,经党中央批准,下放至湖南任省委书记处书记兼湘潭地委第一书记,主持湘潭地委工作。 Hu Yaobang is humorous, clean and self-disciplined, has no leading position and always looks into the public sentiment and public opinion as an ordinary citizen. It is evident from the story of “Hu Yaobang does not eat chicken nor fish.” In 1962, Hu Yaobang, then the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, was authorized by the Central Party Committee and delegated to Hunan Province, secretary of the provincial party committee and first secretary of the Xiangtan prefectural committee, to preside over the work of the Xiangtan local committee.
