3. If you are poor, you will think about change
The story has to start from the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the People's Republic of China was held in BJ. This meeting is a meeting to systematically liquidate the 10-year turmoil of "*" in China's political field, which is also called political and ideological rectification of chaos. In the economic field, the party and the state are also anxiously thinking about how to save the national economy from collapse. What a dilemma this is! After the meeting, people could easily see two banners in the halls of governments at all levels across the country, one of which read: "Emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, and look forward in unity." The other is: "Persist in taking economic construction as the central task and strive to promote the four modernizations!"
Discerning people can already see that this is a 180-degree change from the political atmosphere when he was alive more than two years ago. In the past, the emphasis was on taking the class struggle as the key link. * It was once said: "The class struggle is a matter of grasping it." He also said: "The line is an outline, and the outline is clear." "However, these whole things can't be eaten as food after all. The 900 million people in the country want to eat, work, and dress, can they rely on just a few slogans?
Since 1966, the country has experienced ten years of "*", but fortunately, the secrecy work has been done well, so that foreigners do not know the truth of China. At that time, people all over the country wore almost the same clothes, either "Mao" or "Mao suits". In the late '70s, relations between China and the United States improved, and the United States sent George H.W. Bush Sr. to serve as the head of the liaison office in China, and he brought a teenage son to BJ, who later became known as George W. Bush. George W. Bush often rode his bicycle around BJ's streets.
This kid, perhaps because of his influence in BJ back then, actually became the president of the United States for two terms after returning to the United States. When interviewed by reporters after he became president, he talked about his impression of China: There were two characteristics of China in those days: First, the streets were full of cyclists, and there was no air pollution; and the other was that the people of the whole country, regardless of gender, wore uniform clothes.
It is true that the young Bush Jr. did not go deep into the countryside and peasants in the twenties of the twentieth century during the period of China's agrarian revolution and struggle, as he was at that time, and wrote an immortal masterpiece. Of course, this cannot be blamed on Bush Jr., because the requirements for foreigners should not be too high, and it is already good if he does not speak ill of you.
As a matter of fact, the difficulty for China's peasants lies in the fact that they are overwhelmed by some specious arguments and practices. Ever since he criticized the "three self and one package, four freedoms" in *, the survival of the peasants has been very difficult. At that time, the peasants made a living by working in the production team to convert their labor into food. But the food given by the production team was not enough. Therefore, the peasants opened up some barren land on the ridges of the fields, or at the end of the fields, and even on the mountains, planted some miscellaneous grains, and after the harvest, talked about making up for the lack of rice. This behavior was called the "tail of capitalism" at the time and was to be eradicated. Think about it, could the peasants have enough to eat at that time? And the problem in China is precisely this: the peasants are the majority. If the problem of food and clothing for the peasants is not solved, it will be a hidden danger to the state. What to do?
The central authorities knew that under the conditions at that time, it was impossible for both industry and agriculture to form a one-size-fits-all system.
After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, people humorously spread the famous sentence that was criticized when they were knocked down by the second and third times: "It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, it's a good cat if you can catch mice." "Looking at the tone of people's speeches, it is clearly appreciative. * After re-presiding over the work of the Central Committee, he is actually exploring the way forward. At this time, people saw that the central government's idea was: Don't argue, talk less and do more;
As a matter of fact, this was also difficult for the central leaders at that time, because in China at that time, first, ultra-"leftist" theories had been propagated for more than 20 years, forming many ideological and theoretical forbidden areas; second, building socialism with Chinese characteristics was a completely new undertaking that had never been pursued before. When it comes to work, mistakes and tuition fees are paid.
At that time, the coastal area of GD, because of its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao, has always been closely linked with foreign investment. With the easing of the domestic political atmosphere, overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen continue to invest in the motherland to explore the way, and there is no shortage of experts among the leaders of GD provinces in the economically active zone. Just like when they relied on the masses to seize power, they saw these opportunities for economic development, and the central government's advice flashed in their minds: "We must open up a bloody road!" As a result, GD has a preferential policy of "taking one step ahead".
There is a song that describes the genius of reform and opening up at that time:
In 1979, it was a spring,
There was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea.
Fabulously rising from a city,
Miraculously gathered a mountain of gold.
Spring thunder, awaken the inside and outside of the Great Wall,
Chunhui, warm both sides of the river.
Ahh
You have taken a new step in the majestic mountains and rivers,
Step into the spring of Vientiane's renewal.
……
As you know, the circle drawn by this old man is a small part of today's SZ, which was fenced by the people's armed police force with barbed wire at that time, called "second-line customs". The enclosed area is called the "SZ Special Economic Administrative Region".
You may not know the origin of the name SZ. If understood as the name suggests, Zhen is a small ditch, and deep: it is a little bigger and deeper than an ordinary small ditch. Therefore, the original SZ place name may have been a small place near the Luohu Estuary around the SZ River.
Thirty years ago, Hong Kong people used to say: "Crossing SZ," which meant crossing the Lo Wu Port. I don't know if it's right to say this: the upper layer of the SZ place name was Luohu, and the upper layer of the Luohu place name was BA County, and the address of the county government was located in the surrounding area of the current Dongmen Renmin North Road. It was also more than 30 years ago that GD mainlanders came to SZ and usually said, "Go to BA." "And BA County is under the jurisdiction of the Huiyang District, which is now called HZ. Therefore, SZ is at least a small place name under the jurisdiction of BA County.
