In April in Beijing, almost every government agency, enterprise, and school was busy with three things.
Organize spring outings, learn from Zhang Haidi, and implement the spirit of "Five Lectures and Four Beauties".
Without a doubt, the first thing is the most popular for everyone.
This is normal, because from a nursery rhyme in Beijing, you can know how lovely spring is in April in Beijing.
"Spring is here, the swallows are singing, and the spring outing is beautiful.
The willow leaves are growing, the apricot blossoms are noisy, and the winter jasmine flowers are smiling on the roadside.
The sun shines, the grass is beautiful, and the little households are flying in the sky.
The wind is blowing, the clouds are beautiful, and the flowers and tigers are jumping in the water..."
To be honest, not only the parks and scenic areas are beautiful, but also the streets and alleys are beautiful.
The trees on the street are all green, the lilacs common in the capital have sprouted flower buds, and the flowers grown in every house are in bloom.
There is a strong fragrance of flowers wafting everywhere, and under the bright sunshine, bees are buzzing.
The little white butterfly flutters leisurely, stopping here and falling there...
If it weren’t for the fact that the spring in Beijing is often very windy and sandy, then this season would be out of the question.
Let alone serious outings, anyone can change his mood just by taking a walk.
Especially now that cameras have become more common.
Many people can also take photos with their teachers, classmates, colleagues and friends, which infinitely magnifies the charm of the spring outing.
Therefore, this year's spring outing was actually more lively than any other year, and the response was more enthusiastic and positive than in previous years.
Both adults and children are full of interest.
As for the second thing, learning from Zhang Haidi’s activities actually started as early as the National News Agency report at the end of last year.
After the Spring Festival this year, the Communist Youth League and Shandong Province jointly awarded Zhang Haidi the title of "Model Communist Youth League Member".
After that, the Zhang Haidi Advanced Deeds Reporting Group started from Shandong and began to travel to more than 20 provinces and cities across the country to publicize how this Shandong woman overcame illness and various difficulties and became a self-taught person with perseverance and achievements.
As of this month, hundreds of deeds report meetings have been held across the country.
Zhang Haidi's personal deeds have moved the people of this era, and she has become a very influential youth idol nationwide.
As for the activities related to the "Five Lectures and Four Beauties", in this year, it was a national activity called for by the country to be carried out in depth.
The theme has moved from a purely spiritual level to various practical issues in life.
The higher-ups mainly called for three things to be done.
First, improve environmental sanitation and solve the word "dirty".
Second, rectify public order and solve the problem of "chaos".
Third, improve service quality and solve the problem of "poor".
This is the famous campaign against "dirty, messy and bad" activities.
In short, the overall environment of Beijing in April 1982 was as bright as the spring scenery at this time of year.
Whether it is the social atmosphere or people's spiritual civilization, it cannot be said that it has reached the state of "a clear world".
But noble beliefs are popular among people because of these positive activities, and the beautiful light of truth, goodness, and beauty can be seen everywhere.
Although thirty years later, from the perspective of today's youth, these organizational activities are somewhat formalistic.
But in fact, the influence and actual effects at that time cannot be underestimated.
It is true that many young people have begun to pursue their studies and careers because of Zhang Haidi.
Many uncivilized behaviors that lack social ethics have been corrected and curbed because of the "Five Lectures and Four Beauties" activities.
As a result, good people and good deeds from various units and schools emerge one after another.
Between relatives and friends, simple feelings can be preserved forever because of a photo taken in the park.
This is a reality that is unimaginable to people thirty years later.
So we can only say that each era has its own characteristics.
Many things that may seem unrealistic or ridiculous in the future are often in line with practical needs at first.
To use an analogy, this is like an old man who has no relatives and no reason to be lonely in his old age.
No one would know that he was once young and even had his own glory.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything.
As a foreign-funded enterprise, Pierre Carton naturally places itself outside the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and does not need to participate.
In addition, the company management is not willing to involve employees' energy for these matters and occupy their working time.
Therefore, in the entire company, except for white-collar workers like Huo Xin who have high self-esteem and are arrogant.
These social activities that are widely participated in by the masses are completely treated with the attitude of referees and commentators and stand aside.
People like Ning Weimin, who are hardworking and busy people, do not have the extra time and energy to pay attention to these matters.
This month, there was no room for anything else in his mind, and he could only concentrate on three things.
To cope with the surge in tourists, prepare for and open the Jianguo Hotel franchise store.
Speaking of the first thing, if we don't consider the weather, it should be considered as Ning Weimin's own fault.
Who gave him the idea of printing visiting tickets?
The coupons used for propaganda were printed very beautifully by Ning Weimin.
The pattern and content were designed by a teacher from the Academy of Fine Arts according to Ning Weimin's needs, and it is full of artistic flavor.
The map on the ticket and related content such as the sculpture exhibition named after Pierre Catton, the exhibition hall, and the cafe are fully attractive to both foreign and domestic guests.
As a result, the first batch of printed tickets were distributed in the middle of the month, and the effect was immediate.
The reception volume of the Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall suddenly increased dramatically, and in a short period of time it reached two or three times the number of visitors in the past.
In addition, the tour guides and translators that Ning Weimin deliberately made friends with became more and more powerful.
The Zhai Palace has naturally become the most popular place for tourists to check in, besides the three signature themed landscapes of the Temple of Heaven Park, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Echo Wall, and the Circular Qiu.
That really made the whole Zhai Palace very tired.
Not only did the workload of the girls increase dramatically, but the park inspectors were also requisitioned and put on the job by Ning Weimin.
Two people were temporarily sent to the gate to control the flow of people by collecting tickets, leaving only one person to patrol everywhere.
But I was tired and couldn't chat anymore.
But everyone was really happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Why?
Make money!
The girls' commission is an obvious rule.
Seeing the turnover rising at a rocket speed day by day, everyone can understand this calculation in their mind.
However, the three inspectors sent by the park every day enjoy nothing but good cigarettes and tea, and their mouths have been fed by the Zhai Palace.
They can also receive a subsidy of three yuan per person from Ning Weimin for this temporary janitor job.
For a few of them, this is really amazing. They can earn nearly a hundred yuan more a month.
Nearly one and a half months' salary, including the salary provided by the park, is higher than the salary of their security section chief. Who wouldn't be beautiful?
To be honest, they wish they could guard the gate of Zhai Palace like this forever.
