-Reflections on the changes in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.
On February 8, 2008, the 30th anniversary of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, president and Hu Jintao, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, delivered important speeches at the meeting. He said, "Comrades! 1978 12 18, that is, 30 years ago today, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was held ceremoniously. This meeting achieved a great turning point with far-reaching significance in the history of our party since the founding of New China, and opened a new historical period of China's reform and opening up ... "2008 was an exciting year. This year is the Olympic year, the 59th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), and the 30th anniversary of the reform and opening up! The reform and opening up has made China step by step prosperous and the Chinese people live and work in peace and contentment. Qinghai-Tibet Railway, an almost impossible railway, was realized by China people themselves. Trains speed up many times, making people's lives more convenient; The construction of Olympic venues and the successful hosting of the Olympic Games have inspired the whole country ... China is using his wisdom and sweat to accomplish one feat after another!
The following are four aspects of "basic necessities of life" before and after the reform.
Clothes: Because of low income, most farmers have to tighten their belts and wear poor clothes. Those who have two seasons of cotton-padded clothes all year round are considered rich. Dad said, "A new dress was added at home during the Chinese New Year." Mother said, "At that time, there were many children at home. The boss dressed the second child in small clothes, and the second child dressed the third child ... Finally, he tore it into small pieces as a patch. " Now the clothes are at least one or two hundred yuan, and they are colorful, and the workmanship has also improved a lot.
Food: 30 years ago, people needed daily necessities to buy by ticket, which was a "planned economy"! Now, buying with money is no longer a "planned economy". Grandpa said: "when I was a child, there were many people in my family, and I ranked first among the children at home." There was no food at home, and when the Japanese attacked, I went to work as a coolie. Give a few kilograms of millet a month or a week, which is enough for a family. " Hearing this, my heart trembled and I thought, "A few catties of millet have to be sold, so it's better to buy now." This is really a different world. "In the past, they seldom ate white rice, or even did not have enough to eat. Now we have to eat every meal. People used to be thin because they never had enough to eat. Their staple food is just some home-grown vegetables and sweet potatoes. It was difficult to find a fat man before, but now it is difficult to find a thin man.
Living: In terms of housing, 30 years ago, a family of six people lived in an old mud house of less than 40 square meters. It is inconvenient for a family to live in one place. At that time, they dreamed of having a bigger house. In summer, sleep on the road at night; On rainy days, put a straw mat on the roof to prevent rainwater from leaking; In winter, the whole family get together to keep warm. Now the houses are all high-rise, so it is convenient for several people to live in a house of 90 square meters. In summer, air conditioning sends coolness; No rain leaks on rainy days; In winter, the heater keeps the room warm.
Ok: Speaking of "ok", it is obvious to all. From bicycles to motorcycles, from motorcycles to cars, from cars to ships, from ships to airplanes ... Chang 'e I and Shenzhou VII attracted worldwide attention. What exciting moment will happen this year?
The Chinese nation stands like a giant in the east of the world. In order to realize our glorious mission, we must study hard and arm ourselves with the most advanced scientific and technological knowledge and splendid human culture. Learn the ability to meet and build the motherland. Dedicate one's intelligence to one's job tomorrow. I firmly believe that with our unremitting efforts, the sky will be bluer, the mountains will be greener, the water will be clearer, the economy will be more prosperous, the people will be happier, the national strength will be stronger, and the Chinese nation will have a better tomorrow and a brighter future!
