Chapter 242 Good day

As early as three years ago, the country's top leaders decided to hold a military parade during the 35th anniversary celebrations of the National Day.

It has been fifteen years since the last military parade in Tiananmen Square.

Therefore, the National Day in 1984 was absolutely extraordinary. It was indeed a festive day that attracted much attention and was extremely inspiring.

Perhaps because of this, at the end of September, like the icing on the cake, exciting news continued to come from all over the country.

Construction of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider National Laboratory begins...

The first modern open-pit coal mine, Huolinhe Mine, was handed over and put into operation...

my country successfully launched a test communications satellite...

The national grain output exceeded the 400 billion kilogram mark for the first time, and the total agricultural production value reached 71.4 billion yuan, an increase of 2.3 times compared with 1978...

The same is true even around Hong Yanwu. Good things are happening at home and outside the house, to relatives and friends, and to his personal and public life.

First of all, Xiao Heping passed the preliminary evaluation of the art exhibition, and finally got his wish and entered the second round.

On September 26, the same day that my country and the United Kingdom initialed the "Joint Statement on the Issue of Hong Kong", the list of works selected for the National Art Exhibition in Beijing was also announced.

Among the contents published in the "Beijing Evening News", Xiao Heping's "Morning Fog" was prominently listed, while "Rain and Fog" was nowhere to be found.

For this reason, not to mention Xiao Heping himself, even Kang Ping who recommended him to participate was extremely happy for him.

Because the significance of this matter is too great.

In addition to Xiao Heping getting what he wanted, he could finally comfort his parents' souls in heaven.

For an art person, especially a young person, this is also a very eye-catching and enviable achievement.

You must know that at that time, almost everyone who studied painting in China had only one goal to win awards, and that was the National Art Exhibition.

Whoever wins the prize at the National Art Exhibition not only means that it is certain that he can become a member of the Art Association.

It also means that you have the primary qualifications and level to enter art schools to teach.

To put it bluntly, it means that you can have a place in the domestic art world.

Only those who have won this award are officially recognized as serious painters.

So maybe today a certain domestic painter can say coolly, I don’t want to participate in this exhibition, and it doesn’t matter to me if I lose.

But whoever said this at that time was untrue.

No one doesn’t want his or her painting to be selected, even if it’s for the Excellence Award.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiao Heping is extremely grateful to Hong Yanwu. This kindness that helped him will definitely be remembered for a lifetime.

No one knows better than him what a huge price Hong Yanwu paid in this matter.

For more than half a month, almost every night, he took Hong Yanwu and Angelo to visit a member of the preliminary evaluation committee based on the address on the list provided by Kang Ping.

Including Master Huang, there were a total of thirteen oil painting judges’ homes, and they visited all of them.

Hong Yanwu spent a total of nearly 180,000 yuan and bought a total of more than 280 works.

Although Hong Yanwu has repeatedly emphasized that this is a long-term art investment and is completely his own choice.

But Xiao Heping couldn't help but feel grateful for this friendship.

So in addition to the first time, he immediately told Hong Yanwu the good news and thanked him again and again.

He really remembered Hong Yanwu's words, calmly selected his three blessings and gave them to him.

Show your heart with practical actions.

And as a person who is basically divorced from all high-level interests.

Although Hong Yanwu didn't have any artistic talent, he also believed that Xiao Heping would become a famous person sooner or later.

Naturally, he was very happy to accept the painting and praised it again and again.

But I have to say, this guy is too greedy, he is not satisfied with this.

He actually wanted Xiao Heping to pass Kang Ping and continue to inquire about the judges for the re-election.

He said he would try to help Xiao Heping win a gold or silver medal.

Well, once Xiao Heping figured out the meaning of these words, he couldn't describe his surprise.

He really couldn't understand why Hong Yanwu was so confident in the future value of these paintings.

He really couldn't imagine how much money Hong Yanwu still had and how much money he wanted to spend on this matter.

Similar to Xiao Heping, Yu Wanyu, a new member of the East Branch of Guanyin Yuan, also benefited a lot from Hong Yanwu.

Since Yu Wanyu married Lao Su, she was first promoted to the Spring Festival Gala stage by Hong Yanwu, and her fame greatly increased.

Later, Hong Yanwu wanted to use "Red Leaf" to win her the role of Qi's eldest daughter-in-law in the TV series "Four Generations Under One Roof".

Although in the end, the director admired Li Weikang's politeness and thoughtfulness too much, and thought that every move she made was like a eldest daughter-in-law, so he didn't think twice about the role, so the project failed.

However, Yu Wanyu's popularity increased because of the Spring Festival Gala, and together with Li Weikang, she was selected as a "plum blossom" in the "First Plum Blossom Award for Opera".

In addition, although the popularity of television has caused the drama market to become increasingly cold, the audience for Peking Opera has dropped sharply.

However, with Hong Yanwen's care and strong recommendation, Yu Wanyu was able to find a new career development platform at the "United Front Fellowship" organized by the "Cantonese Promotion Association".

It turns out that as early as July 1983, the CANGO established a "Taiwan Working Group."

Not only did they engage in publicity work, but they also actively helped some members get in touch with their relatives and friends in Taiwan.

1984 was another important year for negotiations between my country and the United Kingdom on the Hong Kong issue.

CANGO is also helping some members get in touch with relatives and friends in Hong Kong.

So, from then on, during traditional festivals, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival.

The "Cantonese Promotion Association" will hold tea parties, get-togethers, and movie receptions respectively, and invite members with "Three Compatriots" relations to celebrate the festival.

In this matter, as one of the participating organizers.

Hong Yanwen found that the existing form of friendship was too rigid and difficult to arouse everyone's interest, and it became more and more official.

I proposed to my superiors that I would like to use Peking Opera as a medium and invite famous actors to perform at tea parties.

After the performance, an interactive communication section with Peking Opera fans was added to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Peking Opera, as the quintessence of the Chinese nation, still has great appeal and influence on both traditional intellectuals and the "Three Compatriots" group.

Yu Wanyu's performance was very popular, and many people could actually sing a few lines. This way of communication was very interactive.

Many people not only praised it, but also hoped to hold it for a long time and make it permanent.

As a result, not only did Yu Wanyu gradually become famous among overseas Chinese, but Hong Yanwen was also commended for it.

On the eve of National Day, his work had just been transferred from the "Chongwen District Working Committee" to the "Canada Promotion Association" municipal committee.

He served as a missionary committee member and concurrently as the person in charge of the "Peking Opera Association".

This means that his public official level has been raised a step higher.

Even though he is less than thirty years old, he has become a cadre at the deputy department level.

If this remains in the Chongwen District Committee, it is simply impossible.

So not only Xu Chongya was deeply proud of her, but the somewhat snobbish Xu Bingquan and his wife could not help but look at him with admiration.

This will naturally be of great benefit to Hong Yanwen's stable family relationship.

There's just one thing. Because of this, I can't spend the holidays at home, and I get busier over the holidays.

Even he and Yu Wanyu had to go to the fraternity party.

The same goes for Hong Yanru.

1984 was also a year of great development for my country's garment industry.

In the summer of this year, the Beijing Garment Association was established.

The Oriental Neon Clothes Art Performance Troupe openly recruited students for the clothing advertising art performance class in the "Beijing Evening News".

The new profession of modeling has begun to enter the eyes of ordinary people.

In view of the fact that at the beginning of the year, a classic garment that has been popular for at least thirty years began to appear in the Beijing Department Store - the "Great Wall Brand Raincoat".

Hong Yanwu suggested that Hong Yanru try to imitate the design of some women's windbreakers.

The result was just in time. Because Hong Yanru's design was close to the needs of the times and in line with popular trends, she once again won the silver medal in a formal design competition held by the Ministry of Textiles.

Therefore, as a top student with outstanding achievements in the "Garment College", she will also have the honor to participate in the National Day military parade.

He became a member of the college parade in the mass parade.

The most outrageous thing is Hong Yanwu. Not only is this kid happy for his sister, he also wants to steal his sister's copy and make a profit.

He asked his sister to take away the pattern and design of the women's windbreaker, made a copy, and sent it to Huacheng.

Hong Yanwu sent a sample of the "Great Wall Wind Raincoat" to Huacheng as early as the beginning of the year, and Ahua said she could make it.

The two of them made a plan to imitate the "Great Wall Raincoat".

Then Ah Hua started using Hong Yanwu’s advance payment of 150,000 yuan to buy machines, materials, and recruit people.

The plan is to take advantage of the autumn and winter seasons to engage in dumping and make a lot of money.

Now with Hong Yanru's drawings, women's varieties have been added, and another batch can be produced in minutes.

Naturally, the profit will be greater.

Of course, this project can be done in the long term. Hong Yanwu will not be stupid enough to directly create a "fake brand".

He gave his trench coat a more lofty foreign name - "Walkman".

Ahua has already officially registered the trademark.

In this way, it becomes a legitimate business.

From piracy to production, everything was done openly. There was no intellectual property rights at the time, so we were not afraid of anyone investigating.

Finally, there is another big happy event, that is, Zhao Zhenmin is getting married.

After two years of love, he and Bai Yali finally got married.

Their wedding was scheduled for the weekend before the National Day.

Needless to say, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan naturally had to prepare a big gift.

Originally, Hong Yanwu intended to give him a motorcycle.

But as a traffic policeman, Zhao Zhenmin not only refused to accept his kindness, but also seemed quite unhappy.

Unless that thing is dangerous and "meat wrapped in iron", he doesn't even like to ride the one provided by the government when he goes to work.

He also said, "If you want to die quickly, get kicked."

It made Hong Yanwu embarrassed.

So as a final thought, I changed my mind and bought a video recorder for him.

Zhao Zhenmin was really happy. This thing is more expensive than a color TV.

Holding the video recorder with the red word "囍" on it in both hands, he praised Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan for how interesting they were.

Unexpectedly, what Hong Yanwu said later made him so angry that he had to doubt this kid's intentions.

What did Hong Yanwu say?

I'm sorry he actually said that Zhao Zhenmin should use less video recorders and watch more useful and healthy videos.

Don't get a bunch of people to report it and lose your hat later.

Of course, Zhao Zhenmin immediately criticized and denied it with righteous words.

"Hey, you're just looking at this thing and that thing, right? If I weren't a traffic policeman, I'd have to make a surprise inspection on you one day. Don't think about others with your own hobbies..."

But Hong Yanwu said again, "You, don't pretend. You are definitely in a dangerous period now where you can easily go astray."

"Do you know what the word '囍' means? If you take it apart and take a closer look, it is the four characters 'jigujigu'. This means that after the bride and groom worship the heaven and the earth and enter the bridal chamber, the bed and body must be

It emits a mixed sound with a strong rhythm of 'Jigu, Jigu...'."

"So from now on, the 'Jigu Jigu' that you two have been in ecstasy for countless times will last forever. If you don't do this, why are you still getting married? I'm so hypocritical of you, I don't believe you can maintain your innocence...

"

Holy shit! Look at Hong Yanwu’s lewd smirk.

Zhao Zhenmin really wanted to take the video recorder in his hand and smash the head of the wagging dog in front of him!
