The background of "Time is money and efficiency is life"

Yuan Geng is an idealistic politician. In Shekou, a 2. 14 square kilometer "laboratory", he attacked two forbidden areas at that time: the market economy and the administrative system. Every shock touches people's sensitive nerves. Although the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978 determined that the focus of the country's work shifted to economic construction, although Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou were established in 1980, the choice of market economy and planned economy,

There was still a lot of controversy at that time. On the surface, it is an economic problem, but in fact it is a political struggle. At that time, no one dared to mention the market economy, let alone the political system reform, which was regarded as a symbol of capitalism. Before 1992, the SAR was always in the whirlpool of the debate about "surname capital" or "surname society" ... Yuan Geng's interpretation of market economy was condensed in the concepts of "time" and "efficiency" and shouted out through the slogan "Time is money, and efficiency is life".

In fact, the slogan originally put forward by Yuan Geng was: "Time is money, efficiency is life, customers are emperors, safety is law, and everyone is responsible for everything." Xiong Bingquan, Yuan Geng's assistant, proposed to delete the middle sentence, considering the affordability of the society at that time, and Yuan Geng agreed. The construction team made a wooden sign out of plywood and erected it in a conspicuous place beside Prince Edward Road. Two days later, an illiterate migrant worker took down the sign and burned it as firewood. Yuan Geng ordered another one, this time only mentioning: "Time is money, efficiency is life".

Some people say that China started to move towards a market economy from this slogan. However, this slogan once became the focus of debate on "surname society and surname capital". Yuan Geng said: "When I write this slogan, I have to wear a hat." When the thought of planned economy was still deeply rooted in people's minds, Yuan Geng undoubtedly had the courage to borrow the concept of capitalist society and introduce socialist construction. This slogan has been debated in China for a long time and has a great influence, which is rare in history.

1984 65438+ 10, Deng Xiaoping affirmed this slogan when he visited Shekou. Later, this brand was collected in China People's Revolutionary Museum and became the cultural coordinate of an era.
