Hello Xiaoping banner is born

The banner was made by Zhang Zhi and his classmates. Since the first half of 1984, they have been preparing for the National Day parade, mainly walking in queue and practicing group dances.

September 30, 1984 was the last rehearsal. The headquarters requires them to wave blue bouquets when they walk through Tiananmen Square tomorrow. Therefore, the students gathered together in the dormitory to tie flowers in the evening. "They are all the same color, and we all feel a little monotonous."

At this time, a Beijing classmate named Chang Sheng came back from home. He frowned when he saw Hua Zhi. "It's so uncreative. I should write a slogan and make a banner so that the whole world can see what I wrote." Everyone raised their hands in approval.

On March 20, 1981, when it was heard on the radio that the Chinese men’s volleyball team lost two games in a crucial match, then pulled back three games in a row and finally defeated the North Korean team and qualified for the World Cup. Peking University students shouted the slogan "Unite and revitalize China."

What should you write this time? Everyone started talking about it. “Education must be reformed,” “reform must be accelerated,” “accelerate the pace of reform and opening up.” Slogans were put forward one after another, but were quickly rejected. Several classmates from the dormitory next door also joined in.

At this time, someone suggested expressing their love for Comrade Deng Xiaoping. They are all beneficiaries of reform and opening up. In 1975, when Deng Xiaoping came back to reorganize the economy, Zhang Zhi heard his father secretly praising Deng Xiaoping's decision-making at home as correct and effective. This left a deep impression on 12-year-old Zhang Zhi.

The next step is the resumption of the college entrance examination. "There is hope, there is hope." Zhang Zhi's parents are no longer considered intellectuals, and he himself was successfully admitted to Peking University.

"Long live Deng Xiaoping!" "What age are we in, and we still have a personality cult!" "Why don't we just say hello." The proposal was approved by everyone.

"Dear Comrade Deng Xiaoping, hello!" I felt the sentence was a bit long. So, it was simplified to: "Hello, Comrade Deng Xiaoping!" The students became more and more excited, and simply omitted their last names and called directly: "Hello, Comrade Xiaoping!"

So, Chang Sheng brought a Paper, couldn't find a brush that big. He rolled the rag on a stick, dipped it in ink, and wrote "Hello, Comrade Xiaoping" in six characters.

There is no cloth for banners. They targeted a classmate's new sheets. I traced the six words on the bed sheet and found that the bed sheet was not long enough. "How about omitting the word 'comrade'."

The originally lively dormitory suddenly became quiet. "At that time, when we spoke, we would not directly address the national leaders by their names, but would usually add their titles. It seemed very presumptuous to address Xiaoping directly."

However, when they thought about it again, they thought it was nothing. After all, this is the most sincere greeting to the leader. So, they used a stapler to staple the four characters "Hello, Xiaoping" on the sheets.
