Return To 1977 Chapter 627: Remarkable achievements

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

1980 was definitely a year of remarkable achievements in the process of reform and opening up.

Because at the end of this year, both the country's economic development and the people's material and cultural life have improved significantly.

People across the country worked together to deliver an exciting performance report.

This year, the national grain output reached 320 million tons, which was the second high-yield year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Cotton and oil production both hit record highs since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Farmers' incomes have generally increased, and the agricultural responsibility system, which mainly takes the form of household production contracts, has been fully affirmed.

In addition, based on current year prices, the GDP reached 13.77 billion yuan, and the total retail sales of social goods were 3.132 billion yuan. The total foreign trade import and export value was US$663 million, of which the total export value was US$593 million. Local fiscal revenue was 5.129 billion yuan.

Three contracts were signed with direct investment enterprises by merchants throughout the year, with an agreed foreign investment amount of US$20.624 million. It received 280,000 inbound tourists and generated international tourism revenue of US$120 million.

The average annual income per employee is 501.4 yuan, living expenses are 490.4 yuan, and the Engel coefficient is 55.3%. The annual net income of farmers is 308.1 yuan, the living expenses are 256.8 yuan, and the Engel coefficient is 54.6%.

If it is said that these data still seem too vague, it is difficult for people to have a personal feeling. So after turning a new page, as long as we observe the capital in 1981 from various angles, we can easily see the significant results achieved in the previous year and the three years of reform and opening up.

The streets of Beijing in 1981 seemed calm and peaceful.

People are wearing more and more colorful clothes, and the colors of clothes have broken away from the categories of blue, green and gray and become colorful. "Cuckold" is no longer the favorite among Chinese people.

As for women who love beauty, there are many different hairstyles. In addition to perms, single-swallow style, double-swallow style, and petal style were popular among married women during this period; petrel style and natural bangs style were popular among middle-aged women; and childlike style and lotus leaf style were popular among older girls.

In bookstores, the reading materials sold not only include more and more banned foreign novels and world classics, but also more and more magazines and illustrated magazines.

For example, "Mystery" was launched last year. This is a science magazine that mainly introduces new knowledge and explores the future world. It is published every month and sells for 2 cents. In its first year, the circulation exceeded 500,000 copies.

There is also "Works and Controversies" which was just launched this year. This literary magazine became an instant hit just because of the word "contention" in its name, and became a popular read among many people.

Needless to say, the cinema is still a crowded place. But it is indeed worth people joining in the fun.

Because there are more movies to choose from, there are no longer just one or two movies showing in the city. At least there will be old films that have been released from the ban, new domestic films and imported translated films that will be released at the same time.

As long as you are willing to travel around the city, you can see several movies of different styles and types on this day.

For example, the popular movies at the moment are the old domestic film "Heroes" which has been released from the ban, the new domestic film "Small Street" with Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin cooperating again, and the newly imported German film "Handsome Boy".

If you walk into the store again, you will find that the variety of products is getting richer and richer.

Like in non-staple food stores, eggs are no longer in limited supply, and there are also more soy products.

People are even a little dissatisfied with the third-grade soy sauce they have been eating all year round. What everyone complains and asks the most is where to buy better soy sauce.

The most telling thing is that people have started to be picky. It’s not that I want whatever is given to me.

The word used here really refers to its original meaning. When it comes to buying meat, people’s consumption has upgraded, and not everyone loves fatty meat. What else can better illustrate the improvement of material life than this?

It’s the same in department stores. There’s a stretch nylon blouse added to fashionable clothing, the most popular accessory is the latest aluminum hairpin, and there are several more types of cosmetics.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the home appliance counter, which is a place where people flock to and surround it from morning to night.

Because no matter the images on the color TV or the new song "Golden Shuttle and Silver Shuttle" by Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming on the tape recorder, they are all natural advertisements that surround the audience.

In addition to the increasing number of foreigners in tourist attractions, there are also many domestic tourists from all over the country.

You can see them traveling together in Beihai and the Forbidden City. Many people have begun to pick up cameras and focus their lenses on the beautiful life.

Tiananmen Square is often a must-visit place for tourists coming to Beijing.

At the edge of the square, there were actually pushcarts of farmers coming to Beijing. These smart people have dared to secretly sell "beautiful" radishes to tourists.

Not far from that, there was a shiny black car parked in front of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City. This is a prop used by the photo booth here to attract customers.

What is particularly unique is that there is a paper sign not far in front of the car, which states, "As long as it does not affect the work of our office, the audience will be charged 2 cents for using the vehicle once."

In addition, fast printing services are also launched here. As long as they pay more, tourists can see their images on the film as soon as possible.

If this is not enough, if someone wants to see a more characteristic life scene in the capital, they have to go into the numerous small alleys.

Because those vendors who disappeared for many years have returned. They still move around the alleys by carrying burdens, baskets and carts as in the past, and are very popular among ordinary people.

For example, those who shave heads, those who sharpen knives and scissors, those who mend pots, those who repair umbrellas, those who sell food, those who sell toys, those who pop popcorn...

Of course, they still use the sound of goods to attract people's attention and attract customers. This is the unique sound of hawking goods in Beijing.

"Sharpen the scissors, sharpen the kitchen knife!"

“Jiangmi rice cake, bee cake, and aiwowolie!”

"Gourd, big candied haws, will be dipped!"

"Hey, roasted sweet potatoes are so hot"

“Hey, radish is as good as pear, if it’s spicy, change it to eh”

Whether it is the chanting words that match the rhyme, or the two tuning forks in the hand that are picked up, and the pile of tin and iron pieces that are knocked against each other, it is a song full of life. In the ears of the people in the capital, it was exceptionally kind and pleasant.

Yes, all this is enough to confirm that our country has indeed changed greatly. Regardless of culture and economy, it should be restored and it should run forward.

Don't doubt our future at all. This momentum of openness has just begun, and it has inertia. Policies can only become more liberal, and life will get better and better. It will be the same in 1981, and we will still make great strides on the road of reform and opening up.

As expected, the policies introduced one after another in January make people feel excited.

On January 7, the air route from Beijing to New York was opened to traffic. This is the first national civil aviation route to North America.

On January 13, the higher authorities approved and forwarded the Ministry of Education’s “Report on the Trial Measures for Self-Study Examinations in Higher Education.” It was decided to trial the "Measures" first in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Liaoning.

On January 14, the State Council promulgated the "Interim Regulations on Self-Financed Study Abroad", opening up the path to study abroad. As a result, there has been a craze in the country for going abroad, and the TOEFL test has also heated up.

On January 16, the State Council passed the "Treasury Bill Regulations" and decided to issue treasury bills starting in 1981.

No matter what happens, it shows that our people have more choices and directions to strive for. We are moving forward with the country.

But to be honest, it is not without side effects, that is, as the choices increase, people will need to spend more and more choice costs.

This includes not only money, energy, and time, sometimes given or given up, but also human emotions and other opportunities.

So even if they achieve their goals, many people may not gain as much as they lose, and they are not sure that they are making the right choice.

And if we judge heroes based on success or failure, then there is no need to mention losers.

To say that the only person in the world who can survive this kind of trouble is probably our unique Mr. Hong. Even the "great men" who manage the country's destiny cannot compare with this.

Because he was not confused, Hong Yanwu was dedicated to his job while living the life of a second-rate dealer. In addition, he is always happy to help Hong Yanwen organize big and small things, which is equivalent to enjoying three kinds of life pleasures at the same time.

It is precisely because he knows what he wants to do, and at the same time he also knows what he can and should do. Even though he was so busy, he managed all aspects of life properly through reasonable planning.

Not only was there no flaw at all, but there was a lot of luck everywhere. From this perspective, he can really be regarded as a superman.

For example, at work, during this season, the main focus of the canteen’s work is the “New Year’s Dinner” before the Spring Festival.

The "Polar Bear" has no shortage of supplies and can freely supply them. The canteen has no worries about cooking.

But the leaders of the key factory have new requirements, saying that since we have entered a new era, we should not keep the same thing and hope that the administrative department can make this New Year's dinner more innovative.

In this case, the difficulty lies in how to introduce the new from the old.

So in order to successfully complete the task, the administrative section chief called several cook chiefs to do the calculation. But after many discussions, no one had a good idea. In the end, we had no choice but to gather all the people from the administrative department together to come up with ideas.

I didn't expect that there is a saying that "three stooges are equal to Zhuge Liang". But this theory is actually very limited.

Because people are really different, and there are specialties in the art industry. If he were really a cobbler, killing him would not solve military and national affairs.

The so-called innovation must be based on rich knowledge and insight. Just by patting your head, you can't create anything other than a head full of big bumps. Nearly a hundred people gathered together and stared at each other, but no one could come up with an idea.

Fortunately, there is really a "Zhuge Liang" hidden in "Cobbler".

While everyone was looking sad, Hong Yanwu couldn't bear the hardship of his colleagues and couldn't get off work, so he had no choice but to speak out. As a result, his idea easily solved the problem and created another problem.

What's going on? I bet he meant to start with the names of the dishes. Just like today's business banquets, the host often gives ordinary dishes some extraordinary names to please their superiors.

Hong Yanwu was much more visible in this aspect, and without any effort, he added new items to the menu that the master chefs had initially drawn up.

Like magnolia slices burning rice cakes, he changed it to "Jie Jie Gao". He calls the sauced pig's trotters "hand in hand", the dried croquettes "Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan", the braised fish nuggets he calls "Happy New Year (fish nuggets)", and the stewed mutton with radish he calls "joyful (lamb)" . Steamed lion head, he called it "a ball of harmony", and finally there was a whole roast chicken, which he named "Ming Yang Tianxia".

Hey guys, these dish names are so appropriate, auspicious, enterprising and interesting.

Especially the last one, it coincides with the Year of the Rooster, which is the Year of the Rooster, so it is definitely appropriate for the occasion. It can also reflect the strength and reputation of the "Polar Bear".

As soon as he finished saying this, not only did all the canteen staff immediately applaud, but the eyes of the administrative section chief and several chief cooks also lit up. Everyone thought this was a brilliant idea and would definitely satisfy the leader.

And that’s not all. This guy Hong Yanwu is like this. The more people praise him, the more he gets excited. Just these few slaps and cheers actually stimulated his brain cells, causing him to come up with another brilliant idea.

He suggested, "Our factory makes canned hawthorns all year round, so the hawthorns and sugar are ready. What I mean is that we can discuss with the factory and batch some, and then we can find a few candied haws skewers. Come, let them skewer candied haws with something from the factory and give it to the employees as an after-dinner dessert. If you don’t like it, you can take it back to your children. It's festive and delicious, and it doesn't cost much..."

Hey, you know, there are not many small businesses these days, and candied haws are not that easy to buy. Everyone is yearning for it, and of course everyone approved it.

The administrative section chief was so happy that he blurted out the word "good" several times. Then as soon as the meeting ended, he kept Hong Yanwu and offered to transfer him to work in the political affairs office.

It's just that he didn't expect that Hong Yanwu Zhi was not here, so he actually declined.

No matter how much he tried to persuade me, the boy kept saying, "I just like to work in the kitchen and don't like to stay in the office. I'm grateful for the leader's appreciation, but my abilities are limited and I'm just a little clever, so I'd better not cause any trouble to the leader."

As the saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet. What else can you do if someone is really unhappy?

Despite being disappointed, the administrative section chief had no choice but to ask Hong Yanwu to think again and find a way out for himself.

As for Hong Yanwu, who "doesn't know how to commend himself", he is not afraid of his boss being angry and wearing small shoes for himself.

Because the administrative section chief himself worked in the cafeteria. The man looks chubby, just like Maitreya Buddha. He also likes to joke a lot, and he is very popular in the factory, so he is definitely not so small-minded.

And it is quite interesting to say that it is precisely because the administrative section chief was still young at this time and had not shaved his head. Hong Yanwu didn't recognize who he was at first.

Later, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he looked. Only then did Hong Yanwu think of this man. He thought it was Li Cunxin who would say on TV every day, "Good teeth, good appetite, good health, delicious food."

He later became a disciple of a government-appointed cross talk actor and acted in many sketches and TV series.

As a crosstalk actor who climbed up from the bottom said, "The threshold for the crosstalk world is low, and many people who can't make it in other industries come to do this, and most of them are cooks." This sentence roughly alludes to he.

To be able to meet him here is still his own leader. To be honest, this really surprised Hong Yanwu.

But in truth, this is nothing. The "polar bear" is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Like another cross talk actor named Meng, who is also a "seasonal worker" in the box group. The sole heir to Lianpai Pingshu was also working in the "Polar Bear" workshop at this time.

Life is wonderful, destiny is interesting, and it is enough for people to ponder.
