Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Miss the Clouds of My Hometown
I don't want to go back and miss you
I'm the only one who has to do it
Sad only when the game
Karaoke in forget
Laugh or sorrow
Karaoke forever
Sad to half death
Karaoke too
Always OK Always OK
- Alan Tam "Karaoke Forever"
In the late eighties, with the continuous development of the reform and opening up economy, karaoke, which originated from RB, was also introduced to the mainland along with economic and cultural exchanges. On a sunny day, as long as the sun sets and the sky darkens, a TV, two speakers, and a few microphones are put on the streets, and open-air karaoke has become the most popular way for citizens to entertain themselves at this time.
A few songs for a dollar, for a period of time, open-air karaoke and square disco, mixed with become a way for strange men and women to love and communicate. After the first yellow building "karaoke" nightclub in mainland China appeared in SH City in 87 years, karaoke, a novel form of cultural entertainment, spread rapidly, and became a favorite leisure way for young people to make friends, and quickly became popular.
In December '79, when Comrade Xiaoping met with RB Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, he put forward a concept that later became a household name in China: Xiaokang. In the 80s, while life was changing rapidly, there was a qualitative leap in clothing, food, housing and transportation, and with the development of the economy, there were more and more luxury karaoke halls, and the economic development of Pengcheng was also driving the development of the entertainment industry.
In Yang Quan's view, life is not worried about food and clothing, and enjoying karaoke in leisure time is a manifestation of running towards a well-off. But at this time, the whole country can enjoy such a life without worry, and most people are still trying to run for life.
……
The splendid karaoke shop flickered under the neon lights, Yang Quan looked at the various rotating lights and the simple video and audio equipment in the private room, although the decoration of the private room was luxurious and extravagant palace style, but the simple big screen how to watch and play.
"RB goods, laser disc, haven't you seen it" Chen Yuehai didn't mean to make fun of Yang Quan, but he wanted to make fun of Yang Quan's surprised expression. Leaning on the sofa, he put his hand on the shoulder of the girl who accompanied the wine, waved his hand and poured the wine, raised his glass and said to Zhou Aifu: "What kind of thing did you drink in the old Maozi shop just now, it's not as interesting as horse urine, let's take one"
Zhou Aifu took off his suit jacket and toasted to drink, there was no trace of cold in Pengcheng in the spring, and a glass of beer in this warm weather made people get tired.
After the First Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in 87, the five newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee collectively wore suits for the first time, setting off a national suit craze. Zhou Aifu is wearing a white one-button suit today, according to Yang Quan's careful study of the raw materials of this suit, it is a bit like a tablecloth that will only be used when people come to celebrate the festival at home, and this elegance was rejected by Zhou Aifu.
Yang Quan sat next to Zhou Aifu, the first time he entered such a retro-style karaoke shop, it was obvious that his attention was more focused on the young girl's song list, which was a bit similar to the colorful menu in the restaurant.
"What kind of songs are there?" Yang Quan leaned over and asked.
"The latest ones are available, Li Guyi's "Hometown Love", Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey", Cui Jian's "Nothing", "Loess High Slope" and Fei Xiang's "Hometown Clouds" and "A Fire in Winter" are all available, boss, what do you want to sing?"
"The song sung by Fei Xiangcai at last year's Spring Festival Gala, you have it so soon?" Yang Quan asked in surprise, this pirated disk came out with the speed of Pengcheng.
Chen Yuehai and Hu Zhibiao watched Yang Quan and Miss Quan chatter together on the song list, and said to Zhou Aifu with a smile: "I said Lao Zhou, your nephew has a bed mate tonight, take him out to see the world more in the future, men have to learn more, and only when they learn badly can they have the motivation to make money!"
Zhou Aifu leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, ate fruit, shook his head and said, "Chen Shao, my nephew's brain is smarter than mine. Although I haven't come out to see the world, I can eat in my hometown. ”
"What are you doing in your hometown?"
"Motorcycle engine factory, he is the boss himself to do it, last year I made a lot of money, this time most of my money was taken from my nephew"
"Yo roar, little boss, I can't see it" Chen Yuehai said with a smile at Hu Zhibiao, Hu Zhibiao looked at Yang Quan's face and estimated that he was in his twenties, but he didn't expect to come up with so much money alone at this age, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't see what kind of strength or background this young man had.
"Get to know each other well, maybe we can have in-depth cooperation in other places" Chen Yuehai came from Quancheng, and he could also meet some friends in Anhuai Province, thinking that he could take some time to visit old friends in Anhuai Province next, and by the way, look at finding some business cooperation with this young man.
[I used to be full of pride
Returned with an empty bag
The wind of the hometown and the clouds of the homeland
Heal my wounds
Come back, come back
A wanderer who wanders the world
Come back, come back
Stop wandering around]
Yang Quan stood on the stage and sang "Hometown Clouds" affectionately.
"Hometown Clouds" is the song sung by the singer of Baodao in the article, which was covered by Fei Xiang in the spring evening of 87 and conveyed and sung the motherland. This song expresses the sincere emotions of returning from a wanderer, and it is very infectious.
A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, Yan Ran has no plan, and Qiang Guan is full of frost. I have looked up at the gorgeous clouds in other places countless times, and I didn't know what it was like to be sad at that time, and when I reached middle age, I suddenly recalled this song from my childhood, and I suddenly realized what kind of homesickness was expounded in Fei Xiang's emotional singing.
Yang Quan likes this song very much, regardless of past and present lives.
……
In the more than a year before and after the establishment of Qiongcheng as a provincial special zone, Haikou set off the first tide of development and construction under the impetus of the wave of reform and opening up. In the chorus of the first round of development and construction boom, the main movement is the development and construction boom of the development zone.
The land development of HK City has gone through a process from sporadic development to patch development. From the end of 1987 to 1988, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government put forward the policy of "unified planning, introduction of foreign capital, development of patches, and comprehensive compensation", making full use of land resources, attracting investment, and becoming a new economic growth point for a while.
At the end of 1987, Haikou's first economic development zone, Hong Kong and Macao International Industrial Zone, was established, and in the year of the establishment of the province, Haikou successively established three development zones, including Jinpan Industrial Development Zone, Financial and Trade Development Zone, and Haidian Island Eastern Development Zone.
According to the investigation of Zhou Aifu's team, the first phase of the Haikou Macun Power Plant is still under construction and has not been completed, the largest thermal power plant in Qiongcheng has a power generation capacity of only 3,000 kilowatts, and the small hydropower plant is basically waiting for God to rain, and the train power generation is already so old that it is toothless. Schools, shops, and institutions in Qiongcheng all rely on small diesel generators to generate electricity. When it gets dark, the whole city of Hong Kong is smoky.
In the next week, Yang Quan followed Zhou Aifu and several members of the team to inspect the site and study the land acquisition. On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. During the week, several people ran around from policies, roads, and terrain, and the final result report was full of several sheets of paper.
According to Yang Quan's sixteen-character experience in land acquisition that he learned from Huang Yubiao, the "land king of the Hunan army" in his previous life, is "facing the sea, extending in all directions; Chen Yuehai, a native of Hunan Province, also recommended two plots of land for selection.
During the inspection in Qiongcheng, Yang Quan was most moved by the construction personnel who came from all over the motherland to support the construction.
The support personnel transferred from all parts of the motherland arrived in Qiongcheng at the end of '87 to start the large-scale construction. Wang Shoushen, 56, whom Yang Quan knew on the spot, also went to Qiongcheng in November 1987 to prepare for the construction of electric power and the Qiongcheng Provincial Electric Power Company.
The Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power sent a working group to the Macun Power Plant, and the construction units reversed the construction period in three shifts, and the construction site was brightly lit all night. It was the Qiongcheng Military Region that sent a battalion to solve the problem of sinking wells in the pump house for more than a month. The children of the people are soaking in the seawater, and their bodies are covered with blood blisters, and they are hard to complete this task on time.
Yang Quan looked at these people who dedicated their youth and sweated for the construction of the motherland, and was moved to praise them from the bottom of his heart.
