Lin Qiangsheng's family, as well as many neighbors, watched the news broadcast, and Gao Jun and Dong Cheng were also invited to watch together.

At this time, it was the end of October 1978, and televisions, as expensive high-end goods, had not yet entered the vast number of households in China. At the moment, televisions are a luxury that only a few people own!

Owning a TV in a family is quite embarrassing. Even if the TV is full of snowflakes without signal, they can watch it with great interest for half an hour, and they are chatting and talking about what is going on on on TV, why are there so many bells and whistles.

At this time, there were no snowflakes on the 18-inch black-and-white TV, but national events were being broadcast.

In order to facilitate everyone's viewing, Lin Xiangrong also deliberately moved the TV to a spacious courtyard, although the weather was a little cool at this time, but it couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm for watching TV.

There are many neighbors, old and young masters, uncles, aunts, girls, daughters-in-law, young men, children, children and young children, a total of more than 30 people crowded in the yard around the TV, there are people at the door to probe their brains, and there are heads on the courtyard wall that stretch their necks to watch TV.

"On October 22, 1978, at the invitation of the Japanese government, Vice Premier Deng Lao went to Japan for an official goodwill visit and attended the ceremony of exchanging instruments of ratification of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship. This is the first visit to Japan by a Chinese leader. ”

During his eight-day visit, Vice Premier Deng met with the Japanese emperor, held talks with Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, and met with friends from all walks of life in Japan who have long made efforts for Sino-Japanese friendship. ”

He said: "At present, the Chinese people are carrying out the general tasks in the new period and are determined to build our country into a great modern socialist country within this century. Our task is arduous, we must first rely on our own efforts, and at the same time, we must also learn from foreign countries, advanced experience and advanced technology! “

He praised the affluent life of Japanese working-class families and praised the modern technology of Toyota and Panasonic.

As a Chinese state leader, Deng Lao made his first official visit to Japan after World War II. The purpose of this visit was to attend the ceremony of exchanging instruments of ratification of the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship," and it was also a trip to learn from Deng Lao in the process of formulating China's grand strategy for modernization. Deng Lao's visit to Japan was on the eve of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and as the chief designer of China's reform and opening up, he was sketching a grand blueprint for reform and opening up in his heart, and thinking about how China would become rich and strong in the future.

During his visit to Wèn, Mr. Deng held a press conference at the Japan Press Club in Tokyo that attracted the attention of the world. More than 400 journalists attended the press conference from Kyodo News, Current Affairs, Reuters, United Press International, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, German Press and other well-known news organizations. This is the first time that a Chinese leader has agreed to meet with reporters in a "Western European way" during a foreign visit.

In answering questions about China's modernization, Mr. Deng gave Western journalists a full taste of his frank, pragmatic and open style. "By modernization, we mean relatively close to the level of that time," he said. The world is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the level at that time, for example, was certainly not the same as it is now, and it will not be easy for us to reach the current level of Japan, Europe, and the United States, and it will be even more difficult to reach the level that will be 22 years from now. We are soberly aware of this difficulty, but we still have such an ambition. ”

In order to achieve modernization, he pointed out: "To have a correct policy, we must be good at learning, and we must take the current international advanced technology and advanced management methods as the www.biquge.info of our development." First of all, we should admit our backwardness, and if we honestly admit our backwardness, there is hope. Then there is the ability to learn. This time I came to Japan to ask for advice. We consulted a developed country. Ask for advice from poor friends in the Third World. I believe that with such an attitude, policy, and guideline, we have hope. ”

When talking about admitting backwardness, he suddenly said something funny: "It's not okay to look ugly but dress up like a beauty." The acerbic self-assessment made the reporters laugh, and they had to admit that this attitude was the hope of China's resurgence.

"Isn't this a flattering foreigner?" Seeing this, someone in the small courtyard muttered in a low voice.

"Shh His words were immediately interrupted.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Gao Jun and Dong Cheng, and saw that they were sitting in military uniforms and hats, staring at the picture on the TV, meticulous.

The corners of Lin Qiangsheng's mouth smiled, although Gao Jun's face had no expression, but his eyes couldn't deceive people. Lin Qiangsheng felt that his mood at this time must have been ups and downs, and he was at a loss.

I have been educated for so many years, I am not afraid of hard work and sacrifice, and I have a strong spiritual victory method, and now I want to learn from others, how to learn?!

During his visit to Wèn, in addition to the talks, Mr. Deng also visited modern enterprises and high-tech facilities in Japan, and had contacts and conversations with the responsible persons of enterprises, senior economic figures, and technical managers.

Deng Lao visited the factories of three Japanese companies, including the Zama Plant of Nissan Motor Corporation, the Kimitsu Plant of Nippon Steel Corporation, and the Ibaraki Plant of Matsushita Electric Corporation. During the inspection of the Zama factory, Deng Lao and his entourage took an electric car and visited the third body workshop and the second assembly workshop, and showed a strong interest in the advanced machine welding production line of automation. He said: "When I came here, I understood what modernization and modernization are. We would like to thank the industrially developed countries, especially the Japanese industry, for their assistance. Deng Lao had an in-depth conversation with Konosuke Matsushita, president of Panasonic, who accompanied the visit, and also talked directly with the technical staff of the company. When visiting Wèn in Kyoto, Deng Lao also took a special Shinkansen train. On the speeding train, the escort asked Deng Lao how he felt, and he replied cheerfully: Fast speed, full of comfort, you have to have speed in everything!

When I saw the welding production line of Nissan Motor Company's Zama Factory, there was immediately some commotion in the small courtyard of the Lin family, and the feelings of exclamation, admiration, and resentment were immediately spread in the small courtyard.

"The Japanese are so technologically advanced!" A workshop supervisor who is currently in charge of production in the factory squatted in front of the TV and said in admiration.

Although this is a bit of a compliment to others belittling themselves, no one can refute it now.

"I can't imagine that this is called automation and modernization! It turns out that our manual and semi-automatic production line is really nothing compared to others! Lin Xiangrong looked at the last few pictures of Zama Factory on TV and said silently.

Lin Qiangsheng's face didn't have any expression, what expression could he have now! Neng Yi Bo Yuntian said, can we catch up soon! Even with chips, then there is software! So what kind of people should I look for in the country, and where to find them!

Lin Qiangsheng's face faintly showed a trace of discomfort! He didn't know where the pain in his body came from, it hurt very much anyway!

Chen Yao sat next to Lin Qiangsheng, and saw that Lin Qiangsheng's state was not right, and his little hand slowly stretched out and held Lin Qiangsheng's palm.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Chen Yao, the little girl's face was blushing, and when she saw Lin Qiangsheng turning her head to look at her, she pouted her nose at him encouragingly.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Chen Yao looked at him carefully before nodding and smiling.

In any case, this series of foreign reports has made Chinese television viewers feel refreshed and have had a great impact on the hearts of the Chinese people. The Chinese began to understand the world with the television footage of Deng Lao's visit, and everyone from the top to the Chinese people realized that we had been closed off for too long. China began to look for ways to enter the world.

Lin Qiangsheng sent Chen Yao home, walked on the way home, and let out a long breath to the night sky.

He shook his arm and muttered, "How strange! After watching such news, I am still open-minded! ”

It is not surprising that China is about to usher in a new era of reform and opening up, and the Third Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee will be held in December. At that time, a grand blueprint was placed in front of Lin Qiangsheng's eyes, and the Chinese began to see the world and go to the world.
