Do you know what a northeast planing adze is?

People who are from Northeastern China should have some impressions when talking about Northeastern planing.

This has to start from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Northeast was called the "eldest son of the Republic of my country." The three northeastern provinces have a vast territory and rich products. Due to their proximity to the Soviet Union, special geographical location, rich natural resources, and certain heavy industry foundation, they have become key areas for the industrial construction of New China.

The working class was different at that time than it is now. The status of workers is generally not high now. At that time, the working class led the country. At that time, although the wages of workers in the factory were not high or even lower than outside, the welfare benefits were quite high. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are a working class person, the factory will cover everything from birth to funeral, including allocating housing. Children go to factory-run schools from elementary school to high school. The factory has a general hospital that specializes in treating employees, offering injections and medicines for fevers and colds, including surgery, all free of charge. There is a cafeteria in the factory. One of the three members of the family is a worker. Basically, they can go to the cafeteria to get all their daily meals. They grab steamed buns and pancakes, make mooncakes on August 15th, make rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, and make snacks on weekdays. In the summer, they freeze popsicles. , rice and white noodles are served during the holidays, not to mention how beautiful it is. There is a cinema in the factory, so I can take my family to watch a movie in the evening. If there is any festival, organize a party, sing, dance and have a carnival.

It was too easy for workers at that time to find a partner. Old girls all wanted to marry workers, and young boys also wanted to marry female workers. If you think about the benefits, who wouldn’t want them? For now, which business unit has this kind of treatment? But the male workers all want to find a female worker, and the female workers also want to marry a male worker. This is called dual employment, and outsiders don’t look at it. Even if you are a small business owner who buys leather shoes and earns 10,000 yuan a month, then I don’t like it either. It is conceivable that the status of the working class at that time was very high.

But it was no longer possible in 1998. State-owned enterprises were reformed, enterprises were transformed, and a large number of workers were laid off. This was something that many employees had never dreamed of. They thought that if they joined a state-owned enterprise, they would have an iron rice bowl.

Why is there such a wave of layoffs?

There are many reasons. Duplicate construction leads to overcapacity. High benefits are accompanied by high expenses. When the factory's performance is not good, it is a burden. In addition, there is no career crisis, and the efficiency is not high. The longer the factory is open, the more retired workers there will be and the heavier the burden will be. There are many reasons that I won’t go into here, and national events cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.

There are also some factory officials here who took advantage of the opportunity of the country's transformation to embezzle state property. Originally, the factory was doing well, but they deliberately went bankrupt, causing the factory to go bankrupt and sell off the factory equipment at a low price. My family bought it, and the state-owned property became privately owned. There are other things like embezzlement of worker resettlement fees, etc. I won’t go into them one by one. Anyway, these people are fat and oily, and it is the common people who suffer.

What will these laid-off workers do? The country encourages laid-off workers to re-employ, engage in services, and travel. The key point is that when all workers across the country are laid off, who will consume?

At that time, the families of those laid-off workers really couldn’t get rid of the pot and couldn’t survive. What should they do? There was a family of workers who committed suicide. The daughter-in-law bought a package of rat poison, made dumplings, and mixed the medicine. In the stuffing, a family of three died after eating it. Some friends will ask me if I am looking for a job. As for committing suicide, it was different then and now. It is easier to change jobs now, but it is easier to change if the job is not going well. At that time, the workers had worked in the factory for half their lives and knew how to do this job. What else could they do when they were forty or fifty years old? What to do with those who don’t want to die? Many people turn to the road of crime. Nowadays, it is said that there are many gangs in the Northeast and many young ladies in the Northeast. No one is born, they are all forced to do nothing, including the fact that there are many live broadcasts in the Northeast. This is all due to historical reasons. Now the economy of the Northeast is in decline. Some cities in the Northeast have experienced negative population growth, and everyone has gone out to work.

In the social environment at that time, the planing adze was derived. The planing adze is a mason's tool, which is what southerners call a hammer or a hammer. One end is a small square hammer and the other is flat, which can Used to knock things within bricks.

It is relatively small, easy to carry, and can be hidden in the sleeves of clothes so that others cannot see it.

Usually when they go out to commit crimes at night, they see someone who is dressed more like a rich person. They sneak up to the back and aim at the back of the head. At that time, the person loses consciousness and falls down, half-dead or half disabled.

Some people may ask, will a robbery cost someone's life? Isn't it okay to threaten someone with a knife? Northeastern tigers, if they meet someone with a bad temper, they really dare to fight you. When the time comes, they will grab the knife with bare hands and the robbery will not be a robbery. , and he failed in self-defense and died in vain. Of course, these are just jokes. It is easy to carry. As we said before, if you hit the back of the head with the knife, there will be very little bleeding and no splashing. If you stab yourself with the knife, you will be splashed with blood, and you will be killed with one blow. There is no room for fighting back unless it is discovered in advance and it is clean and neat. The person fell down and took away the valuable things. He took them in a few minutes and hid them in his clothes without anyone noticing.

At that time, people were so frightened that they did not dare to wear gold or silver when going out. The rich people deliberately did not wear good clothes and wore rags for fear of encountering pickers. Of course, people were poor as hell. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter whether you look rich or not. If you come to a place called gouging, someone will carry ten dollars with you, and you will get gouged. At that time, you usually didn’t dare to go out at night. I remember that I was only in elementary school at that time. When my dad goes out at night, he wears a wristband on his wrist and a knife in his waist. If he encounters an adze digger, he will stop it with his wrist and take out the knife to resist. Fortunately, he never encountered him.

I still remember that at that time, the public security organs arrested several groups of gouging gangs. Later, under the severe crackdown by the government, the country's transformation has been effective, the economy has gradually improved, and the gouging people of that year have also disappeared. It’s in history

Today’s Chinese economy can be said to have been achieved at the expense of a generation

May you cherish the present moment and have good luck
