On October 2, 1984, Govin unexpectedly saw the photo "Hello Xiaoping" on the second page of the People's Daily.

Hello Xiaoping, the simplest greeting comes from the hearts of the people, which is the voice of this era and the common heart of the people at this time. Therefore, although it is fleeting, it has been engraved in people's hearts and engraved in the corridor of history.

After seeing the photo in the newspaper, Govin immediately called an editor of the People's Daily he knew, and after some twists and turns, he contacted Wang Dong, a reporter from the photography department of the People's Daily, who took the photo.

On the phone, Govin congratulated Wang Dong and praised him for taking a photo of historical significance, which is a huge representative of the times, on the one hand, it expresses the people's recognition of the cause of reform and opening up initiated by Comrade Xiaoping, and on the other hand, it also shows the awakening and equality of college students' humanity and the germination of ideas.

Govyn, who hung up the phone, actually had a trace of chagrin in his heart. He also brought a camera with him to yesterday's parade, but he was told that no one was allowed to take pictures except for official media such as television stations and newspapers. His chagrin was not so much jealous of Wang Dong, but his disappointment at not being able to personally record the spectacular scene of yesterday's National Day parade.

After Wang Dong hung up the phone, he was a little dizzy.

Of course Wang Dong knew who Govin was, but he didn't expect Govin to call him. On the phone, Govin praised him and predicted that the photo he took of "Hello Xiaoping" would be extremely newsworthy and historically commemorative, and would cause a sensation in the whole society, which made him a little unbelievable. You must know when I was doing the edition at the People's Daily newspaper office last night. The editors are still skeptical about publishing the photo. After all, in the absence of understanding the spirit of superior leadership. It's a big risk to post this photo rashly.

Last night, Wang Dong watched his photo being picked up and put down by the editor of the first edition, and the editors of the third and fourth editions also picked out the photo, thought about it, and put it back again. Finally, the photo of the student parade selected by the National Day photo section of the People's Daily is not a high-of-the-art "Long live the motherland!" Slogans such as "I have a Chinese heart" are wreaths and smiling faces. In the end, if it weren't for the fact that the second edition needed a photo to match the text and chose his own photo, I'm afraid that the photo of "Hello Xiaoping" would not have appeared in public at all.

Will this photo cause a sensation? Wang Dong was skeptical.

Soon, the facts proved Govyn's vision.

The next few days. There were more and more comments on "Hello Xiaoping," and letters from the masses sent to the "People's Daily" about "Hello Xiaoping" were several sacks, and higher-level leaders also issued commendation orders, while the Xinhua News Agency immediately conducted in-depth interviews and reports, and "Hello Xiaoping" spread all over China. The photo "Hello Xiaoping" won the Best News Photo Award that year. In the years that followed, "Hello Xiaoping" became Wang Dong's name, and countless publications used this photo every year, and the "People's Daily" alone published it seven times, and the China Millennium Monument even made a relief based on it.

Many years later, in an interview with the media, Wang Dong recalled that Govin made this phone call back then, and he was still very emotional. Back then, when many people were shy about "Hello Xiaoping". Govin was the first to congratulate him, and he predicted the historical value of "Hello Kodaira". And the facts, as Govin said, became a reality.

"It is said that Deng Gong is a symbol of that era, but in fact, Gowen is also a symbol of that era!" Lying on the rocking chair, the gray-haired Wang Dong said with a serious face to the camera of Phoenix Satellite TV.

This is a later story, and we will not show it for the time being.

Let's say that after Gowen participated in the National Day military parade, he temporarily settled in Beijing.

The chores in Shanghai have long been dealt with, and Govern resigned from the "Receiving" magazine, and the work of taking care of Ba Lao was also taken over by Ba Lao's daughter Li Xiaolin Lin, and Ge Wen was relaxed. When I arrived in Beijing, I was not in a hurry to return to Shanghai, so I naturally had to take a good look at the capital in this era.

Speaking of Beijing, it is also necessary to visit some old-timers in the cultural circles, which was personally told by Ba Lao before Govin came to Beijing. Since he is going to visit the old-timers, some of his friends naturally can't be left behind.

In other words, he had just crossed over to this era, and because he was a black household, he didn't dare to come to the capital where he had worked hard for many years in his previous life, and now that his identity has been whitewashed, he naturally wants to leave a little mark of his own in this political and cultural center.

Now Govyn's temporary residence is in the editor's home of a triptych bookstore. Knowing that Govern was coming to Beijing, Tu Changshen, editor-in-chief of Reading Magazine, who had been working well with Govin, contacted the old leaders of the Joint Bookstore at the headquarters, and then helped Govin settle down in Beijing.

However, living in someone else's house is not a long-term solution after all, and Govin already plans to buy a house in Beijing as a place to settle in the capital. In his previous life, although he had worked hard in Beijing for many years, he never had a house of his own, which had to be said to be a big regret in his heart. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to do it while it's hot.

All these things are complicated, but Govin is not in a hurry. No, on the third day after watching the parade, Govin walked around Beijing alone.

The old Beijing of the 80s was very different from later generations.

In the old Beijing of this era, the city gate building is still alive.

In this era of old Beijing, the street hawkers selling sugar gourds and old popsicles were full of energy.

In old Beijing in this era, horse-drawn carriages and buses were parallel on the streets.

In old Beijing in this era, there were aunts from neighborhood committees sitting at the entrance of the hutongs, with red armbands pinned to their cuffs.

In old Beijing in this era, dancing in the park was considered indecent, and the park ranger rode a bicycle to chase around.

In old Beijing in this era, most people used kerosene stoves for cooking, and the people queuing up in front of the oil store to buy it were a landscape of the times.

In old Beijing in this era, the 200-yuan wardrobe in the furniture store was often priceless.

In the old Beijing of this era, the Great Bell Temple was still a wholesale vegetable market.

In the old Beijing of this era, Quanjude and Qingfeng steamed bun shops are more flavorful.

In this era, although the old Beijing was poor, the faces of the people were full of peace and contentment.

Although the old Beijing of this era is not rich, people's eyes are full of confidence and hope.

The old Beijing of this era made Gowen, who was accustomed to seeing the prosperity of later generations, full of infinite warmth in his heart.

The old Beijing of this era made Gowen, who was accustomed to seeing philistines and copper smells, once again see simplicity, romance and ideals.

……

Just as Govin wandered the streets of Beijing in the '80s, captivated by the simple but profound culture of old Beijing, the sound of radio from a loudspeaker on a telephone pole shattered his obsession.

“…… This is the Voice of China of the Central People's Radio, FM 106.1 MHz, listeners and friends, good afternoon, the last ring just now, it is 15 o'clock Beijing time. This issue of "Novel Broadcast" will broadcast the special program "The Rise of Great Powers" on the National Day gift, I hope you like it......"

The rise of great powers?

What's going on?

Govin paused and listened.

A calm and calm baritaka sounded-

"The great geographical discoveries around 1500 A.D. opened the historical curtain of dialogue and competition between different countries, and thus, the road to the rise of great powers has global coordinates. Over the past 500 years, nine world powers have emerged on the big stage of human modernization, namely Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States. The story of the rise and fall of great powers has left behind its own unique development paths and lessons that inspire today and influence the future......"

Belch......

It's really "The Rise of Great Powers"! "The Rise of Great Powers" audio version!

Why didn't anyone notify me?

This is an infringement!

The first thought that crossed Gowen's mind was that he had been pirated. Then his pleasant mood of shopping disappeared without a trace.

But on the way back, the anger in Gowen's heart slowly disappeared, and he saw a scene that surprised him.

In the early 80s of the 20th century, there was really little entertainment in China. At this time, there were very few TVs in China, and it was not until 1980 that China introduced the first color TV production line from Japan, so ordinary people could not buy TVs even if they had money. And everyone is reluctant to watch movies for a long time, so the usual entertainment activities are mainly to read books, which is one of the most fundamental reasons for the popularity of the book and magazine market.

First of all, you need to be literate and literate, and secondly, you need to continue to spend money on books and magazines, so as to maintain this means of entertainment. But radio is very different, it doesn't matter if you can't read, as long as you have ears.

Moreover, there is very little investment in listening to the radio. If you have money, you can buy a radio yourself; It doesn't matter if you don't have money, in the vast land of China, small trumpets are everywhere. Factories, farms, communities, parks, communes...... According to relevant data, the household penetration rate of Chinese radios and small speakers in this era was as high as more than 90 percent.

On the way back to Gowen, wherever there was a loudspeaker, you could see the crowd parked on the road listening to the announcement.

There are those who stand on the side of the road pushing bicycles, some lean directly on telephone poles, some sit on the curb of the road and curl up their knees, some sit on small horses, some stand with their hands behind them, some carry the birdcage to tease the birds, some immature teenagers, some gray-haired old people, some obese women, and some middle-aged people with glasses...... Everyone stayed there quietly, listening to the voices in their heads and ears, as if they were drunk and obsessed, and forgot about it.

Time stopped at this moment. (To be continued.) )

ps: I almost didn't catch up, and my hands were a little raw.

Here, I ask you to support the genuine version.
