During the Spring Festival of 1982, whether on the TV screen or the movie screen, the educational significance far exceeded the entertainment role.
Let's talk about TV first. Starting from the beginning of this year, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 6:20 pm and Sunday at 8:30 am, viewers who turn on the TV will hear the opening song of "Follow Me".
This elementary English teaching program teaches the audience some daily English expressions in the form of short sitcoms.
Because it is close to life and has a strong sense of immersion, the program caused a great response among the audience after it was broadcast.
The first volume of the teaching materials released to coincide with the broadcast of the program sold one million copies.
The host Hua Kelin, a slow-talking red-blooded London girl, became the most famous foreigner in China throughout the 1980s.
In this era when television was not very popular, among the few people who could learn English from television, Chen Liquan was considered the luckiest one.
Because the New Year's gift given to him by Hong Yanwu was a Toshiba video recorder and twelve blank video tapes that had just arrived from the "Friendship Store" and he spent nearly 6,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons.
Although in order to keep a low profile, it can only be used on the black and white TV in Chen Liquan's house.
However, during the five years that the program has been on the air, Chen Liquan was the only person in the country who could record a single episode without leaving the show and studied all the teaching materials seriously.
Moreover, Hong Yanwu himself also learned half a bottle of jealousy.
From this perspective, the price, which is equivalent to a family's entire savings, is well spent.
What's more, Hong Yanwu is relatively experienced, and he bought a full-scale one.
This means that both our domestic P system and the American N system can be used, and at least it can be used normally until the VCD appears, without any further trouble.
It's a bit sad to say it. Just like in his previous life, he often worried about the system issue and took advantage of opportunities to string up ribbons here and there.
There's no way to do it. If the system is wrong, the signal won't be sent out.
Think back in those days, was it easy to watch an "energetic" movie?
The difficulties, obstacles and risks involved are far beyond what young people living in the era of information explosion can understand...
Next, let’s talk about movie theaters. Starting from the first day of the new year, major movie theaters in Beijing will show the newly filmed documentary "Struggle".
This documentary shows the process of the Chinese women's volleyball team's difficult victory in the third Women's Volleyball World Cup last year.
At the beginning of reform and opening up, sports not only became an important stage for our country to show its image to the world.
The breakthrough achieved in sports has also been given more political meanings and has become a banner that inspires the people.
Therefore, "Fighting" also caused a strong response in society, and the spirit of the women's volleyball team provided new supplementary energy for people's values.
Many literary and artistic stars have publicly stated that they want to carry forward the fighting spirit of the women's volleyball team.
Su Xiaoming said, "The key to the women's volleyball team opening the door to the world championship is their fighting spirit of self-improvement. I want to learn this spirit from them in my own performances in the future and demand more strictly on myself."
Movie actor Shen Danping also said, "While filming my last movie, I exposed many of my weaknesses, including my squeamishness, weakness, and lack of confidence. From now on, I will learn from the perseverance of women's volleyball players to practice hard on basic skills."
It is precisely because this spirit has been magnified and projected to the entire society that our people, after the three-day Spring Festival holiday, return to work day after day with a particularly energetic and high-spirited spirit.
Go building and learning.
Naturally, self-employed people in Beijing are no exception.
Like everyone else, they have been infected by the spirit of the women's volleyball team.
Even if they are motivated and excited, at least a large part of it still comes from their desire for wealth and their own benefit.
But if self-employed people are in a good mood, they will be more kind to customers and sell their goods cheaper.
And this generation, no matter what social class they belong to, their patriotic feelings are constant.
If anyone could meet Lang Ping, they would even give away everything for free without paying for it.
Who can say that this is not enlightenment? This is not contributing to the motherland?
Therefore, on the first day after the legal holiday, the clothing night market opened without delay.
Not only are the self-employed people in the market not slacking off at home, they are all in their positions, preparing for a grand opening.
Even the small traders and vendors outside the market are trying their best to make a comeback.
It is worth mentioning that these "undocumented households" who want to borrow land to make money are like rats laying cubs, and their number has become larger.
There were only two people roasting sweet potatoes, and at least three people selling candied haws.
There are countless others selling pants, vests, insoles, socks, gloves, hats, toys, persimmons, dried apricots, needles and thread.
Just look at it and you will know that before 18:30, these people have already crowded the curb and are rushing to get on first.
“Candied Haw Lu!”
"Roasted sweet potatoes, they taste like chestnuts!"
"Thick insoles! They're cheap..."
All of a sudden, there were a lot of people and a lot of noise. It was really chaotic and extremely noisy.
But this is still a serious business after all, and there are still more things that are more unpleasant and unsightly.
There was a young man with long hair standing on the pavement shaking his nylon stockings and shouting, "Come on, come and buy the socks worn by the courtesan in the movie!"
Naturally, everyone on the road frowned.
Some people may be thinking, who would want to buy something worn by a social butterfly?
Hey, in fact, there are actually a lot of people grabbing it.
I saw the long-haired young man collecting goods and collecting money, and he was almost overwhelmed.
There was also a late-arriving tricycle that had no room to stay and was stuck in the bicycle lane on the road.
The owner of the goods shouted wildly, "Hurry up and buy the shorts Liu Xiaoqin is wearing!"
This caused more people to turn their heads and saw a big hand holding up a bright red shorts, which was particularly eye-catching.
The owner also ignored the angry glares from the cyclists. When someone complained while trying to avoid the situation, he yelled loudly.
"Your mother, I just came out of prison. I won't let you get off the bus. I can't kill you by talking nonsense."
Many people simply couldn't stand listening to this arrogant and dirty talk.
"What a mess! It seems like glorious history?"
"No one is taking care of this place! It's getting more and more chaotic!"
"It's just that there are two heavens inside and outside the market. It's almost impossible to stay outside!"
Hey, don’t say it yet. Maybe God is not deaf today, and he really hears the voices of the people and the appeal of the masses.
Just when people on the street were angry and depressed, "market copying" suddenly occurred.
First, a large Jiefang truck with a cover parked inconspicuously twenty meters away from the south entrance of the market.
About ten minutes later, a dozen security guards suddenly emerged from the hood of the car.
These men were all dressed the same, wearing cotton coats and red armbands on their arms. Some of them even held sticks in their hands.
Interestingly, after they jumped out of the car with great momentum, they were not in a hurry to raid and clean up the market.
Instead, they lined up in a horizontal row and waited quietly.
Until another beige GAZ drove up from behind. Like a promotional vehicle from the "movement" period, it used the loudspeaker on the roof to shout, "Announcement! Announcement! Unlicensed operations are prohibited..."
These powerful and majestic joint defense team members slowly but resolutely followed the car and pressed on the crowd on the roadside.
No need to ask, someone screamed before I even got to a stall.
Just hearing a "boom", a pot exploded on the road outside the market.
All the "undocumented households" are like a group of frightened flies, each picking up their things and pushing their carts.
They could either flee into the nearest alley, or they could swarm and flee along the road to the north of Xidan Shopping Mall.
Scattered clothes, pants, shirts, and socks all over the floor and ignored them.
This chaos aggravated the panic, and the panic made the situation even more chaotic, causing the people to avoid getting out of the way.
But it's useless for them to run away, because in reality, this is a seamless network compiled by industry and commerce, taxation, public security, and joint defense.
Also parked in the north of Xidan shopping mall was a Liberation vehicle surrounded by joint defense members.
There was no room to hide in the alley. Police officers from the Xidan Police Station had been waiting inside for a long time.
The people who planned this crackdown were originally afraid of causing chaos and hurting innocent people, and aggravating the situation, so they adopted this method of alerting the enemy.
Do you still need to ask about the result? Nearly a hundred illegal and unlicensed vendors have been "made dumplings."
Then the two Jiefang vehicles became trucks. Bags of collected department stores and various vehicles and business tools were thrown onto the vehicles.
The big man selling underpants lost his arrogance and nodded to the police and begged for mercy. He said he could be punished in any way, as long as he didn't tell their work unit about it.
But the young man with long hair was unconvinced and wanted to fight for his life. He was grabbed by a joint defense team member and then cuffed.
He kept yelling to himself, "I don't have a job, so I have to eat!"
At this time, a person from the Industrial and Commercial Office came over and asked, "Do you have a license?"
The young man with long hair glared and said forcefully, "I want to do it, but you said it's full, so you won't approve it!"
The person from the Industrial and Commercial Office added, "Then you won't ask yourself, is there anyone in the market who doesn't want to do something? If you can convince others, they will give up their land to you forever?"
The young man was even more dissatisfied, "No way, who would be so stupid as to give up such an easy money-making place?"
But the clerk sneered, seemingly unintentionally, but actually he said with intention, "I think you are stupid! Let's make a bet. If I can find someone willing to give up the land for you, all your things will be confiscated."
, double the fine. If I can’t find it, I’ll return all your things to you, and I’ll pay the fine for you. How about it, do you dare?”
This statement made the young man stunned and didn't know how to react.
But the other hawkers present heard this, and all those who were interested were moved in their hearts...
At the same time, no one noticed that at the entrance of the clothing night market, there were two market co-managers, who were placing "Takakura Ken endorsement advertisements" while watching the excitement and chatting.
From their conversation, we can also find some clues about what happened today.
One said, "Master Hong is very cruel. Ignore him, but he suddenly asked the industrial and commercial business to give him a spoonful of stew. Hey, I didn't come to the stall today, but it's really a fortune teller."
big."
Another said, "What do you mean, you are lucky? So what if you don't come? Anyway, your job will be ruined. Didn't you hear the greetings from above? If anyone comes to set up a stall casually, please notify the joint defense team directly and report it to the Industrial and Commercial Office."
This phenomenon must be completely eradicated in the future.”
"Hey, I mean, instead of doing this, why didn't we take care of it in the first place? We wouldn't have taken care of it earlier..."
"Nonsense, I still can't figure it out. When the market was first opened, didn't we have a poor reputation and a single product? In Master Hong's words, we need to gain popularity. Do we still need them now?"
"Oh, then... isn't this burning the bridge?"
"I said you are sick, why do you still pity them? I forgot what Mr. Hong said, we have to turn this place into the most standardized clothing night market in Beijing. Then wouldn't it be a disaster to keep them here? You don't understand this
?Besides, even if Mr. Hong kills the donkey, it is already benevolent and righteous. What else do you want to do if you only deal with them after the New Year?"
