Changes in Thirty Years of Reform and Opening Up

This year marks the thirty years of China’s reform and opening up. Looking back on the development of reform and opening up in the past thirty years, we look back on our own experience and life. The situation is really helpless. It was nearly a third of a century after liberation. As the country moved from poverty to poverty, although the living standards of the majority of people had indeed improved greatly compared with those before liberation, the living standards at that time were still not high enough. To meet people's growing material and cultural needs. There was a general scarcity of supplies, and everything was in short supply, with “thousands of commodities and thousands of tickets.” Everything must be supplied based on tickets, and it is impossible to live without tickets. At that time, people could only live frugally and make do with everything without being satisfied. Almost everyone lived in a difficult situation.

In 1978, the Communist Party of China held the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee and made major strategic decisions on reform and opening up. This led to a nationwide discussion on the standard of truth and criticized the "two ordinary things". ", people's minds have been constantly liberated, especially when Comrade Xiaoping proposed that "development is the last word" and "adhere to reform and opening up, emancipate the mind, and seek truth from facts." Sustained economic development has emerged across the country, thus laying the foundation for the country's current unprecedented development and strength. The country has become one of the world's powerful countries, and people's lives have been greatly improved. Compared with before the reform and opening up, it is really incomparable. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the development of our family is enough to prove that "reform and opening up" has brought a new leap.

Politically speaking, he was rated as an advanced worker in the municipal supply and marketing system in 1978, and as a model worker in Shanghai in 1979. At the end of 1984, under the education and training of the party, he became a glorious * Communist Party members, if in the era of "class struggle as the key link", due to poor social relations, you may not be able to step into the party's door no matter how active you are. This was a very real problem at the time. The most gratifying thing is that our youngest son Wu Gang was approved to become an official member of the Communist Party at the end of last month. For our family, he can be regarded as a successor, which makes me very relieved.

In terms of culture, I graduated from Shanyang Primary School (fifth grade) during the Japanese colonial period. After liberation, I was trained in practical work, which can only be regarded as equivalent to a junior high school education. I attended a part-time middle school for one year. My two sons and one daughter were all junior high school students who came through the Cultural Revolution and missed the opportunity to study formally. Only my younger son still studied hard on his own and strived to obtain a bachelor's degree in the field of adult education. The results of reform and opening up are also reflected in the youngest son of the family. Two granddaughters. One grandson is a beneficiary of reform and opening up. The eldest granddaughter graduated from Shanghai Youth Cadre College three years ago and now works in a foreign-funded enterprise in Caojing Chemical Industry Zone. The grandson is a second-year undergraduate student at Shanghai Institute of Technology this year. The most fortunate thing is that the younger one is My granddaughter was admitted to Fudan University in Shanghai this year, and our family is currently immersed in joyful emotions. This is also a fruitful result since the reform and opening up. Nowadays, young people are highly educated, while the elderly generally have low cultural quality. This phenomenon shows that society is progressing. Unwilling to be lonely, this old man went to Fengxian University for the Elderly to study landscape painting, computer typing, surfing the Internet and playing with digital cameras.

In terms of housing, 30 years ago, a family of 6 was cramped in an old factory building of less than 40 square meters. Living in one place was inconvenient. At that time, I only dreamed of having a house. 20 years ago My former employer built its own staff dormitory. According to the policy at the time, the family was allocated a three-story room with an area of ??60 square meters. We were really happy. However, when the children got older and they reached the age of marriage, what use could this mere 60 square meters be used for? Later, the children figured out how to solve the housing problem on their own. Now the three children have their own new houses, which are larger and better equipped than the houses of the two elderly people. This is also a benefit brought by the reform and opening up. Our staircase was allocated to 8 households of employees at that time. Now only the family and the Xu family on the lower floor still live in the original house. The remaining 6 households have chosen new homes, and the living environment has been further improved. So sometimes I visit my former colleagues' homes and see that the conditions of their new houses are really attractive, and I feel a sense of jealousy in my heart. Is there anything wrong with whether they are well-off or well-off? Just look at the housing. Most people are well-off. What's wrong with that?

In fact, there is no need to be jealous. This "Golden House" is not inferior either. It is located in a very good geographical environment. Banks, supermarkets, farmer's markets, hospitals, and residential areas are all nearby. It is "quiet in the middle of the bustle" and is really a pleasant place to live. The place is a four-story house. I live on the third floor. There are two rooms facing the south. The old couple each occupy one. The living room, kitchen and bathroom are smaller, but have many functions. All kinds of electrical appliances are available, including a telephone. , fan, air conditioner, refrigerator, color TV, microwave oven, liquefied gas stove, solar water heater... The year before last, I also bought a computer, broadband Internet access, and started playing with a digital camera. This year, the north and south balconies were renovated with aluminum alloy windows. Through the renovation, the lighting in the house is better, the air is more circulated than before, and the feeling of people is also different. Recently, the government has carried out the renovation of old houses from flat to sloped, as well as three-pipe renovation and sewer renovation in our community. These are all funded by the government, but the residents of the community have not paid a penny. Now residents have more convenient water and smoother drainage. I can’t say enough. of satisfaction.

In terms of salary income, recall that before the reform and opening up, the monthly salary was only 55 yuan. In January 1991, the standard salary plus company salary totaled only 170 yuan. After retirement in 1992, especially in recent years, The salary has been increased every year, and now it is close to 2,000 yuan per month.

In terms of medical security, the state gives special care to our elderly. For outpatient and inpatient medical treatment, patients only bear a small amount of expenditure, and the state pays the majority.

Had it not been for the reform and opening up, the country would not have had strong economic support, and the people would not have benefited so much. Therefore, today we live in an era of peace and prosperity, we must know how to cherish and maintain today's society, and we must know how to repay kindness. He is an ordinary party member. He has never done anything spectacular before, and he is even more unable to take on important responsibilities now. However, he should actively strive to do some work within his ability according to his physical ability and under the leadership of the branch. This will also live up to the kindness of the party and the motherland. .

Chinese traditional culture is so interesting! The art of paper-cutting is like a brilliant pearl. Let me first introduce Xu Zhouchen’s paper-cutting art! There are lifelike houses; several people eat together and enjoy the delicious food; some sleep with bricks on their pillows. We sleep on pillows, and they sleep on bricks. They are not afraid of the hardness. It is really interesting.

The most interesting thing is the ramen shop. The sign of the ramen shop is very big and eye-catching. The ramen they pull is more than one meter long and as thick as a coin, which is enough for one person to eat. . Xu Zhouchen's paper-cut art really opened my eyes.

Ren Yanhui and the others performed two fables, which were also very good. I like the story about the "'smart' little donkey". The little donkey is so clever that he is mistaken for his cleverness.

Some students performed calligraphy, sketches, stamp introductions, etc., which was really colorful.

Today’s class meeting made me understand that there are many traditional cultures in life. Our motherland has a long history and profound culture. I love our motherland. Our country has gone through thirty years of reform and opening up. Looking back on the development of reform and opening up in the past thirty years, as well as my own experience and living conditions, I feel helpless.

The remaining 6 households have chosen new homes, and the living environment has been further improved. So sometimes I visit my former colleagues’ homes and see that the conditions of their new houses are really attractive.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, our motherland and hometown have spent 30 years of reform and opening up.

I heard from my grandparents that thirty years ago, people still wore clothes made of rough fabrics and ate the supplied food that had no choice and was unpalatable. At that time, there was no asphalt road. The dirt was simply trampled into a narrow road. When it rained, it became even muddy. There were puddles everywhere on the road. If you accidentally stepped on a puddle, your whole foot would sink. It was difficult. I pulled my feet out, but my shoes were left in the mud... The economic situation in my hometown was not good at that time. People lived in short and simple thatched houses without mosquito nets. They got up early and came home late every day to do farm work in the fields. At night, I was tired and lay on the bed, breathing heavily. I finally fell asleep, but I was bitten by mosquitoes again. I couldn't sleep well, so I kept getting up to chase away the mosquitoes. In the summer, when there are thunderstorms, the rainwater flows down through the tiles on the roof into the house, and people have to hold bowls to fill the water.

Grandpa said that life was not easy at that time. There were no games to play like now, and there was no time to work. When they are more than 10 years old, they have to go to the fields to cut grass and feed livestock. They also have to cook for their parents and send them to the fields for them. They are very busy every day. Life at that time was boring and boring. If I were born at that time, I would be so miserable that I would cry... But, after all, they managed to survive!

But what about now? It has been 30 years since the reform and opening up. Who is still as miserable as before? No one left! Now, we all have a good life. Clothes made of silk and cotton replaced coarse cloth; chickens, ducks, fish and meat were commonly sold in markets; potholed dirt roads were replaced by brand-new asphalt roads; dilapidated thatched huts were transformed into tall, large and sturdy houses; daily necessities were all available. ...

Now technology has developed and computers are available. Computers have many uses, including entertainment and learning. My mother mainly watches movies on the computer and reads news online. I can also play games on the computer.

There are so many more activities now than before. You can travel, dance in the square, and exercise... The older generation said that those of us born in the 90s look happy every day and eat. , I don’t have to worry about anything to wear, I live so comfortably and at ease, I should endure more hardships...

Reform and opening up is around us, and it has brought great changes to our motherland, hometown, and life. Huge changes!

Thirty years can be said to be a blink of an eye! Thirty years of personal experience have allowed me to feel the pulse of social progress. Thirty years of reform and opening up have benefited the lives of every Chinese.

In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was successfully held, ushering in a new historical period of reform and opening up. This was a great turning point with far-reaching significance in the history of our party since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The national economy has developed rapidly in the past thirty years, and our living and working conditions have also undergone tremendous changes in these thirty years. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, living environment, and working conditions have all been transformed.

I heard from my mother that during the planned economy era when vouchers were provided, you could buy at most two new pieces of clothes a year, and they were ordinary plain cloths. The expectation of "wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year" was probably a wish shared by their peers at that time. If they could wear new clothes before the Chinese New Year, the satisfaction and pride they would feel when they were the envy of their neighbors would make today's young people unable to Understand, not to mention that every little angel now has at least multiple sets of clothing with good styles and textures and distinct seasons.

The supply of food is even more unforgettable for my mother. It is natural to buy meat with a ticket, but there is absolutely no choice between fat and thin portions, not to mention having to queue in an overcrowded open-air queue and having to wait for a meal. Worry about whether there will be any goods available when it’s your turn. The scramble to buy food caused adults to quarrel and even grab each other, which frightened the children. When my mother was a teenager, what she was most afraid of was having her parents yell at her to queue up. She often said stiffly when accepting this task, "I would rather not eat meat." Don’t stand in line.” Materials were extremely scarce in the 1960s and 1970s. A piece of brown sugar, fermented bean curd, or even chili noodles with a little salt were once shared snacks. The relish of eating them at that time was no less exciting than when children eat the latest food on the market today. To a certain extent, the pleasure after being numbed by chili peppers is no less satisfying than the pleasure after eating hot pot now.

Thirty years ago, many families had only one room. The almost identical layout was to put a bed or a large cupboard in the middle of the house, and draw a curtain to separate the room into two rooms. The front is the living room and dining room. My mother said that when they play, they can only sit on the bed. Those with better conditions can prepare one or two small horses or small wooden stools. Families with many children have to design it with bunk beds, and behind the bed is another room. Bedroom and storage room unified. Now that the conditions are good, I live in a three-bedroom and one-living room assigned to me by my work unit. I have my own independent kingdom. I am very excited.

Not to mention how advanced the current automated office conditions are, how many types of water heaters have been replaced just for drinking boiled water. In the late 1980s, boiling water could only be done in the boiler room in the morning. Supply times are set to ensure demand throughout the day. Nowadays, when I sit at work, I can reach out to the water dispenser to fill up pure water, and drink hot or cold water by myself. It feels so uncomfortable.

There are also changes in communication tools. In the 1980s, hand-cranked telephones were used, which gave me a headache every time I needed to make contact. Not to mention that I had to get through to the operator at the post and telecommunications office first, and then transfer to a certain person. If the signal to the other party in a place or a certain unit is not very good, you have to make several calls, and sometimes it even takes a whole day to get through. In the 1990s, the pioneers of reform and opening up carried BB radios across their waists and used paging signals to call out at any time. Every time they called, they would deliberately pretend not to hear them and let them ring a few more times..., holder The pride is self-evident. By the turn of the millennium, Big Brother had become a symbol of status. The holder not only had to shout in a voice that was disproportionate to his height, but also mixed it with local dialects at the same time to feel like he was a saint in front of others. Today in the 21st century, everyone has more than one mobile phone in their hand. No matter where they go, they are close to each other, and work efficiency and economic benefits are both harvested.

I have been deeply touched by all the changes in the past thirty years, but what I have experienced is only a small microcosm of the lives of millions of Chinese people. China's thirty years of reform and opening up have completed the course of hundreds of years of Western capitalist countries, and the great achievements it has made are hard-won.

We live in such a beautiful golden age, and this happy, stable and harmonious situation also needs us to cherish and maintain it. Through our efforts and struggle, the motherland will become more prosperous and stronger, and people’s lives will become better and better
