While many classes and groups in Beijing are abiding by laws and regulations, and enjoying their own leisurely lives according to their own ideas, a major movement and reclamation is underway on Chongming Island in Shanghai.
Many people know about the main plane
From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, due to a series of decision-making mistakes, the economy of the new Yanhuang Republic encountered serious difficulties. To put it simply, there was not enough food to eat, and people began to starve to death. Therefore, the Yanhuang Central Committee at that time required all localities to "launch agriculture in a big way"
, a large-scale food development." But for the industrial city of Shanghai at that time, it was impossible to grow crops on asphalt roads.
Producing food, but solving the problem of feeding millions of people is the top priority and top priority. Therefore, in that year, after Shanghai had just built the first 10,000-ton giant ship "Dongfeng" in the new Yanhuang Republic, one of its navigation missions was not
Instead of sailing for a long voyage, he immediately went to Qingdao and Tianjin to rush for cabbages to supply the Shanghai market that was waiting for food.
In order to solve the problem of food baskets and rice bags for the people in the 1960s, and to overcome the objective reality of Shanghai having more people and less land, the Shanghai government at that time decided to ask for land from the sea and land from the deserted beaches. Shanghai mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to reclaim Chongming Island.
, Nanhui, Baoshan, Fengxian and other tidal flats, thus increasing the supply of agricultural and sideline products throughout Shanghai.
Although they were poor at that time, the Yanhuang people with new dreams seemed to have endless strength and always full of passion. During the years of burning with the passion of dedicating themselves to a strong country, they only voluntarily signed up to go to Chongming Island.
The number of people exceeds tens of thousands, including government officials, teachers, workers, students, shop assistants and young people from society.
Among the applicants, some were under 16 years old, and some had children who were not yet a full month old, but no one complained. Everyone set out with a backpack and a washbasin bag. At that time, there was nothing on Chongming Island, and all the reclamation members
They cut reeds and used them as materials for building houses, weaving tables for eating and building shacks for sleeping. If there were no beds, they would spread the reeds thickly, and often more than 600 people would sleep sideways on the big bunk together.
You must know that reclamation is an extremely labor-intensive job, and it stands to reason that you should eat a little better. But in those years when Yanhuang's social economy was on the verge of collapse, where were the extra supplies available? Even the three eastern provinces, known as the granary of Yanhuang, starved to death
people! So no matter how hard the reclamation work is, the government
There is no ability to increase the supply of food rations even a little bit. And because many people only take food stamps with them when they leave home, leaving vegetable stamps, meat stamps, etc. for other people in the family, so after several months of farming, people suffering from edema will
Accounting for 50-60% of the total number of people in the entire reclamation battle.
"I drove a tractor during the day and sometimes at night. My mouth was extremely dry, so I went to the ditch to get some water to drink. The next morning I saw that the ditch was full of maggots. After seeing it, I felt sick and regretted it.
, why did I drink all the dirty water? At that time, we were really dedicated to the reclamation work, and we worked hard, really hard."
"It all depends on a carrying pole, two shoulders, a pair of mud baskets, carrying load after load of mud, and we work hard. In winter, we still do it in the ice and snow. It's hard to walk in the mud with shoes, so we just fight
Barefoot, it was really hard for us, it was really hard.”
"I remember a man named Li Dongru, who was the district committee secretary of which district, and a district chief named Zhou, jumped into the river. It was so cold at that time. They blocked the water and then used mud.
Push the straw bales down to fill the gap and let the dam close. At that time
I also jumped into the cold water, people are so energetic. Many leading cadres really charged forward. I felt that that place and that era reflected the power of the party, the power of model party members, and the leadership
The power of cadres is really touching."
At the end of the century, these old people who have lost their youth are still very excited and generous when they recall the passionate years. For them, the kind of dedication and giving in the 1950s and 1960s is a kind of complex.
, a symbol, a spirit
, is something that many young generations today cannot understand and is most lacking in the entire society. When many experts and scholars in later generations study the history of the Red Party, they often focus on a certain big figure or a fragment to write a special book, but when it comes to the lives of many ordinary people at that time,
Work is rarely mentioned.
In the 21st century on the main plane, people are busy making money, with empty hearts and lack of faith. Isn’t this the best comment and reflection on the 1950s and 1960s?
The first target plane, Yanhuang Continent, Chongming Island, Shanghai.
Due to the large amount of food provided by Wang Fan, there is absolutely no problem with the food supply of the entire Yanhuang Continent. However, Wang Fan is not a god. What he brings is mostly non-perishable rice, flour, etc. For food with poor freshness
For vegetables, we can only rely on various provinces and cities to find their own solutions.
Since Shanghai has just been liberated, there are very few vegetable planting areas and vegetable planting types. Therefore, many Shanghai people have very little choice in dishes. Therefore, it is different from the main plane in those years for "survival", but for "survival".
"Life" in the first target plane is better and more enjoyable. The Shanghai District Committee and District Government also made slogans and actions to ask for land from the sea, so the reclamation operation on Chongming Island began more than ten years in advance.
In 1944, Chongming Island covered an area of more than 600 square kilometers, and was only the size of Chongming Island in 1944.
About half of more than 0 square kilometers. It is the same as the history of the main plane, the same desolate land with reeds everywhere. But the difference is that there are only more than 7,000 people participating in the battle this time, and there are no red flags or washbasins.
, walking slowly in a long and orderly queue. Most of them rushed to the scene in trucks. Hundreds of drivers with driving experience drove tractors that arrived via transport ships to excavate
Machines, plows, road rollers, vehicle-mounted generators, concrete mixers, etc. arrived with these equipment. More than 200,000 tons of sand and gravel, asphalt, and hundreds of prefabricated houses arrived. In just one week,
There are 23 engineering camps spread across the island that are beginning to take shape. Each construction site is equipped with drinking water purifiers, has built a unified canteen, bathhouse, and is equipped with at least one hygienist who knows medical first aid knowledge.
"Don't fight an unprepared battle!" Comrade Chen Yi, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee (concurrently), specifically emphasized this when giving approval for the Chongming Island reclamation project.
"We must not only do a good job, but also ensure the quality and the safety and health of the engineering personnel." Every time Tang Wei (disguised as Wang Fan) holds a meeting, he always emphasizes: "There is no point in completing the work ahead of schedule. Since it has been calculated through scientific methods
To meet the construction deadline, we must shift our focus from rushing to meet deadlines to improving construction quality. Do a century-old project! A high-quality project that will benefit future generations is far more significant than a few dregs of projects!"
"For any waste of resources caused by quality problems, the general person in charge of the project will bear primary responsibility. Even if it is not discovered at the time and is discovered more than ten years later, he will be held accountable!"
"Quality is important, not quantity. Protecting people's livelihood is more important than wearing yarn!"
"Any quality problems caused by meeting deadlines should be arrested and sentenced!"
Slogans and slogans one after another, warnings are posted everywhere on the construction site. They are the catalysts to promote quality and responsibility. In the new Yanhuang Democratic Republic, due to the attention and guidance from the highest level, the entire Yanhuang society has begun to respect the objective laws of nature and value field test data.
, the idea of paying attention to methods and methods comes up.
“Comrades, keep working hard~~”
"Hey yo hey yo~hey yo hey yo~"
"The Red Party serves the people, and the people help everyone, and we work together to create a new Yanhuang."
After the construction started, chants spread throughout the construction sites one after another, and workers sweated in one construction site after another. The workers here are very hardworking and the people here are very happy.
At night, in a camp on Chongming Island, the reclamation workers were resting after a hard day's work.
"Master Pu, how do you work this machine? I don't know how to do it." Xiao Zhao, a 19-year-old general worker who cherishes every minute of his time even though he is off work, asked in rich Shanghainese dialect. He was hurrying up.
Time to get familiar with new machines and learn new knowledge.
"The gears here need to be adjusted outward a little, and the numbers here represent hydraulic pressure. Look, its current scale shows..." Master Pu, who has a solid craftsmanship after years of training, taught without reservation.
In old Shanghai, to master a craft, an apprentice had to eat "three years of dry radish rice." This is a Shanghai slang saying that it takes a period of hard work before one can truly master a craft. In the old society, mastering a lathe
, industrial skills such as fitter and planer,
After a few more years of hard work, you will have the foundation to work hard in Shanghai. Therefore, the word "master" is very precious. It is not just called casually. Being called "master" not only contains respect and recognition for one's craftsmanship, but also expresses the feeling of being a master.
Give yourself gratitude for your ability to survive.
Late at night, in the camp dormitory.
"Liu Fei, I heard that your sister has signed up for a health training class?" Master Pu, who lives in the same room as his apprentice, said naggingly.
"Yes, master, she wants to learn medical knowledge. Last time, my grandma suddenly fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital by passers-by. Only then did she know that it was an emergency. If it had been delayed, she would have died. And the doctor also said,
You also need to eat properly and be careful at ordinary times, otherwise the possibility of committing the crime again is very high. That’s why my sister wants to study medicine so that she can be able to take care of her grandma after work."
"As long as it is useful. Nowadays, there is not much difference in wages among various industries, and there are all promotion levels. As long as you really master the technology and knowledge, you can get the same level of salary as the mayor of Shanghai (Wang Fan refers to the eight-level worker system established in later generations)
). Houses are also allocated according to people, so there is no burden. You can do whatever you want, which is good."
"Well, the new government is better. Compared with two years ago, life is like heaven and earth." Liu Fei lamented when he thought about living in a shack.
"So you must study hard, master your true skills, and repay society. People must have a conscience and repay kindness."
"Yes, master!"
In 1944, people's blood was hot in the entire Yanhuang land of the first target plane. There would be no messy things like those in later generations: one moment, they were afraid of the nuclear radiation caused by the Japanese pirate nuclear power plant accident, and then they blindly bought salt after listening to the messages;
And because
The unjust, false and wrong case of helping an old lady who fell to the ground and being bitten by the old lady led to the emergence of the term "anti-theft, anti-theft and anti-old lady" in the main plane society; there was also a two-year-old girl in Foshan who was run over by a vehicle and lay in a pool of blood.
, but more than 10 pedestrians passing by walked away indifferently.
