When the two brothers Zhang Shaojie set foot on the other side of the Shenzhen River for the first time, on the land of China, the excitement was irrepressible. At the same time, the 24-year-old poet Gu Cheng's poem "A Generation" began to become popular all over the country.

I bought a newspaper on the street, and Gu Cheng's poems were published on it.

"The night gave me black eyes / And I used them to find the light."

Shaohuai is still a middle school student, and after reading this poem, he especially feels that just one poem makes him feel that he admires the poets of the mainland. I also feel that Gu Cheng, a poet, is almost as talented as his brother Zhang Shaojie!

Zhang Shaojie has no feeling for poetry.

In fact, although he had heard that "the night gave me a pair of black eyes / I used them to find the light." This paragraph, but I don't know that this poem is from the Yanjing poet Gu Cheng's "Generation" published before the Spring Festival in 1980.

Zhang Shaojie felt that he was still a little vulgar. Poetry, he admires the poet verbally at most, but in essence, he always feels disapproving of modern poetry in his heart.

In particular, in the 80s, there was a wave of poetry creation in the mainland. People who know a few words are enthusiastic to write poetry, and tens of millions of poets across the country have made poetry a thing that is quickly becoming worthless.

In this era, Shenzhen is a hot land, the forefront of reform and opening up, and the whole country can not find a more passionate land than Shenzhen!

This brand-new city, from the very beginning, has fallen into the cult of economic construction! Because this is a special zone and a laboratory, all kinds of people who find it difficult to realize their dreams in other parts of the country have rushed to Shenzhen.

In fact, before Shenzhen was officially approved as a special zone, Shenzhen's Shekou Industrial Zone had already been approved as a special zone. Because Shekou Industrial Zone has introduced a large amount of Hong Kong capital. Li Ka-shing, Fok Ying-tung, and other Hong Kong businessmen all participated in infrastructure investment at the beginning of Shekou's establishment.

Most of the factories in Shekou are invested by Hong Kong businessmen, who import raw materials from overseas and then export them overseas through Hong Kong, and only the workers employed are from the mainland. Such a "three-to-one-supplement" model will be an extremely backward and uncompetitive sweatshop in a few decades. However, in this era, it earned China a lot of foreign exchange, and workers sold their labor to get higher salaries.

Zhang Shaojie came to the "Bank of China" business hall in the Shekou Industrial Zone, which was still the designated foreign exchange bank in China at this time.

Hong Kong dollars cannot be spent in the mainland. The 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash he brought with him to visit relatives in the mainland were exchanged for more than 3,000 yuan at a fixed exchange rate between the renminbi and the Hong Kong dollar.

In this era, the purchasing power of the renminbi is very strong. One pack of Chinese cigarettes, two yuan. A bottle of Wuliangye, 5 yuan. 0.14 yuan per catty of rice. A Xinhua dictionary, but 0.5 yuan.

Of course, because in this era, only the materials that could be produced in China were cheap, and these materials were sold extremely cheaply. However, commodities that cannot be produced domestically, or key devices that rely on foreign imports, are very expensive, black and white TVs need more than 400 yuan, and the price of color TVs is more than 1,000 yuan. An electric fan costs more than 100 yuan, an imported Rolex watch costs 560 yuan, and a computer costs tens of thousands of yuan

In this era, the desire of the mainland people to watch TV is obviously unimaginable to later generations. In a humble entertainment environment, TV programs are able to provide the most cheerful entertainment for ordinary people.

My sister-in-law and uncle's family didn't afford a TV until the 90s. During the Chinese New Year, you can't visit relatives and friends empty-handed. Especially, it was the first time I went to my hometown to visit my uncle and sister-in-law. Zhang Shaojie and Shaohuai discussed for a while, and decided to buy a TV in Shenzhen and bring it over

A 14-inch black-and-white TV costs 320 yuan, which is still the price in the coastal city of Shenzhen. If it is in a mainland city, it is estimated that 400 yuan will not be able to stop.

In addition to the TV, Zhang Shaojie also bought a box of Wuliangye - which only costs 30 yuan, as well as all kinds of nutritional products. All kinds of money are constantly being paid. However, when it was time to pay, I found that I had only used less than 100 yuan. At this time, Zhang Shaojie intuitively felt that the RMB at this time was very valuable!

Purchased a train ticket from Shenzhen to Anhui.

The two brothers got on the train, and with a whining chirp, the train started to start

――――――

I slept very sweetly in the car. waited until the attendant reminded them to get off the bus, and the two brothers Zhang Shaojie woke up.

Televisions, as well as wine and other gifts, were removed from the train.

The two brothers, standing in the noisy train station, looked a little uncomfortable.

The air between Jianghuai and Jianghuai seems to be much colder than that of Hong Kong and Shenzhen!

In Hong Kong, the Zhang Shaojie brothers have never felt the temperature on a snowy day.

Coming to the central region of the Motherland, they felt it!

The cold wind blew and the two of them trembled.

"Brother, this temperature is too cold!" Shaohuai complained a little.

Zhang Shaojie laughed and said, "So, we're on the right track!" How can you have a complete life without the cold wind? If you don't even have a concept of what a snowy day is, how can you be considered a man? ”

All the rhetoric seems to be ineffective in an unfamiliar environment.

The Anhui dialect spoken by the people here is incomprehensible to Brother Zhang Shaojie.

The Cantonese of the two Zhang Shaojie brothers is not understood by people here.

This kind of anxiety because of the inconvenience of communication is difficult for onlookers to understand!

They are not familiar with the place, even if they have the detailed address written down by the eldest aunt, the two Zhang Shaojie brothers may not be able to find the village where the uncle and sister-in-law are located in a remote place in the poor mountains.

However, who called Zhang Shaojie and the two brothers "Hong Kong compatriots", and many years after the reform and opening up, "Hong Kong compatriots" were obviously very popular.

The current domestic policy is centered on economic development. However, the mainland has a relatively well-developed infrastructure and a large labor force. However, there is a lack of awareness of market competition and the funds needed to develop the economy.

Hong Kong compatriots have capital and a sense of market economy, so Hong Kong businessmen have become the first choice for attracting investment from the mainland.

The cult of GDP, as well as factors such as attracting investment and preferential policies, have made mainland officials overly enthusiastic about Hong Kong compatriots.

Because Zhang Shaojie was not familiar with the place, he found the person in charge of the station indiscriminately. Originally, I wanted to consult that those relevant departments could help Zhang Shaojie's brothers visit relatives and friends.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the station said arrogantly - he is a guest from afar, and he can find him directly if he has difficulties!

In order to facilitate the family visit of Zhang Shaojie and the two brothers, the leader of the station actually sent a young woman in her early twenties to serve as a tour guide for the two of them for free.

"Comrade Xiaofang is a local, educated, and a high school graduate. She also understands Cantonese, I'll let her be your guide for a few days," the station leader smiled very plainly.

"Thank you, Stationmaster Hou!"

Zhang Shaojie and the two brothers, seeing Comrade Xiao Fang, who was dragging two long braids, wearing the uniform of the railway department, and had cute dimples on his face, felt a little kind.
