When Hong Yanwu became more energetic, he was able to raise his attention from the front of his eyes to the normal level in the past.
A month has passed and it is early April.
Not to mention, the world outside has changed a lot.
Not only are the peach blossoms blooming, willows turning green, and the spring breeze warming people up, but there are also many differences in the society in the capital.
The first is that after the retirement system was implemented, the benefits quickly became apparent.
Because this not only frees up a large number of grassroots cadre positions, it is conducive to the rejuvenation of cadres, allowing young people from all walks of life to look up and be motivated, and it is also conducive to the development of people's livelihood and economy.
At least the large and small flower, bird, fish and insect markets across the country have begun to flourish.
This even directly contributed to the skyrocketing price of Changchun Clivia.
The "general" who was far away in the north had just collected about two hundred pots of clivia, and the market price suddenly soared by 30%.
These boys have already seen the flowers blooming, and they are so happy that they can't stop thinking about transporting the flowers to "Bincheng".
In addition, sales of various newspapers and magazines have increased significantly.
After all, there are only a few retired cadres who can enjoy the "contract supply system", and retirees are accustomed to reading newspapers. Moreover, they have more free time after returning home.
Therefore, even if they can no longer read public newspapers for free and spend their own money, they have to continue this habit.
Director Chang, for example, not only ordered most of the newspapers that can be seen in the work at the post office after officially quitting his job.
In order to pass the extra time, he also likes to visit bookstores and book markets, and buy old books and newspapers.
In Liulichang, Hong Yanwu met him unexpectedly several times.
When Hong Yanwu discovered Director Chang's hobby, he quickly sent two thousand yuan to the Chang family.
It was said that he wanted to compensate the Chang family for the collection of books they had lost due to him, but the intention was self-evident, because he was afraid that Director Chang would not have enough money.
As for Director Chang, he pushed the offer several times but failed to turn it down. Seeing that he was indeed sincere, he finally accepted the offer happily.
This is great, the old man is more enthusiastic about soaking in the pile of old books every day.
Don’t forget, these things weren’t worth much at the time.
Even rare and ancient books are worth ten or twenty dollars.
If you want to use this money to do this, you won't be able to spend it for two or three years.
Generally speaking, the retirement system has begun to turn the elderly into a specialized consumer group in society.
It's just that people at the time didn't realize this yet.
Secondly, in contrast to this elegant hobby, the spiritual pollution spreading from coastal areas to the inland has also reached a very serious level.
Therefore, on March 12, 1982, the top level of the country issued the "Regulations on Strictly Prohibiting the Import, Duplication, Sale, and Playback of Reactionary Pornographic and Obscene Audio and Video Products," which kicked off the first nationwide campaign against mental pollution after the reform and opening up.
For example, Song Guofu led a team to raid bookstalls and newsstands in Xicheng District and confiscated many obscene and pornographic books, represented by "Rose Dream" by Yanbian People's Publishing House.
There are more than 30 kinds of books and nearly 2,000 copies.
Although some books were inevitably "lost" after being confiscated, leaving some residual poison in the innocent world, there is nothing we can do about it.
The five fingers are not even on one side. As long as it does not continue to spread at the social level, turning a blind eye is considered an internal benefit.
Because it is really serious, we have to start from above. The deputy director alone picked up more than a dozen books.
They say it's "criticism", but who knows what's going on.
So Song Guofu was not polite and secretly kept a set of "Rose Dream" to take home.
He first solemnly wrapped the upper and lower volumes in book covers, and then wrote "Industrial and Commercial Administration Materials" on both the cover and the album pages, and then put them on his bookshelf for "criticism" at any time.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally had the nerve to tell Hong Yanwu about this, and it was the first time I was alone.
Of course, everything has two sides.
If the banning and confiscation of these books is a matter of course, it will have a certain positive effect on the construction of social atmosphere.
However, unreasonable situations will also exist at the same time, such as criticism and imprisonment of going too far and not doing enough, which occurs in the audio and video market.
As a landmark event, the People's Music Publishing House published a book called "How to Identify ****".
The authors are all composers of the older generation, and some are very famous.
This book contains nearly 50,000 words, is priced at 22 cents, and has 33,030 copies printed. It focuses on collecting criticisms on the popular songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan that have just been introduced to the mainland and are worshiped by many young people.
Among them, "When Will You Come Again", "Scent of the Night" and "Rose Roses Bloom Everywhere" performed by Teresa Teng received the most severe criticism.
The book says, "Such vulgar songs are actually sounds of pornographic temptation and an agent of mental paralysis to some young men and women in our country."
Once this book was published, it became the basis for banning songs, and subsequently affected the definition of mainland songs.
For example, among the most popular singers, no one dares to criticize Yang Weifan, Su Xiaoming, and Zhu Fengbo.
However, Gu Yi, a soloist with a stubborn personality who was not favored by the group leaders, became a negative model in the country because of her "angry" singing style of "Hometown Love" and was heavily criticized in newspapers and publications.
Public opinion described this song as a replica of "When Will You Come Again", a song of surrender, a song of betrayal, and a reactionary song imitated from the West.
So Gu Yi, who had always been criticized in the group because of whether the songs she sang were considered love songs, had a harder time.
Not only was her song "Hometown Love" banned from being played, listened to, and sung, but because she refused to admit her mistakes, she was almost banned from performing on stage.
But conversely, the same is true.
Blessings and misfortunes can be transformed and can also be viewed through a dialectical approach.
The more unlucky some people are, the better it is for others.
For example, Hong Yanwu observed this situation in the newspaper and regarded it as an opportunity to return Yang Weifan's favor.
He took the initiative to remind Yang Weifan that their "Haifang Song and Dance Troupe" should take this opportunity to take Gu Yi under their command, so that they would have an extra pillar.
In the future, he will definitely add glory to the group, which will not only increase Moody's work performance, but also reduce Yang Weifan's work pressure.
Otherwise, when this gust of wind passes, this store will no longer exist.
Yang Weifan was convinced, so he turned around and used Hong Yanwu's words to persuade Moody.
Moody was a little worried, but Yang Weifan said, "If you want to be approved, you can't keep approving it? Besides, it's not like our regiment has never been criticized before, including "The Ring of Spring Water" and "Night at the Military Port".
A target? A few days ago, someone wanted to criticize Cheng Lin's "If the Wine Is Sold Without", didn't you also press it? Besides, dad's situation is different now, what are you afraid of?
"
Indeed, when it comes to this point, we have to talk about the retirement system.
It must be said that there are always exceptions to any system.
For example, General Yang, although he has passed the age limit a long time ago, when he reaches his level, the secular rules are no longer effective, and no one dares to let him go down.
They were even granted an audience by the "great man" and heard such words with their own ears.
"Given the situation of our party, it is a fact that our cadres are aging. But the veteran cadres are the backbone, so we cannot deal with it too hastily. It will not work if we do it too hastily. We need an advisory committee to make the transition. You have to be prepared to lend a hand."
And this is equivalent to saying that Yang Yaohua's past mistakes have been completely exposed, and he has once again entered the category of "great man" and "confidant".
Therefore, not only will the power of the Yang family not be weakened by the implementation of the retirement system, it may even go further after the establishment of the "Advisory Committee".
Because of this, Moody listened to his son's words and then smiled and obeyed.
It turned out to be a coincidence. When Moody sent the deputy leader to contact Gu Yi, she re-recorded "Nostalgia" because she refused to listen to the leader's advice. The leader criticized her and made her cry.
At the same time, because she rashly sang this song on the stage of the Great Hall of the People, the "National Music Ensemble" even issued an expulsion order for her, telling her to leave wherever they want you.
Under such heavy pressure, the helping hand of "Hai Zheng" is simply a timely help.
Gu Yi didn't mention any conditions and agreed to be transferred to "Haifang" without saying a word.
So this matter came naturally, and "Haifang" made a big profit. It would make the National Music Orchestra regret it in the future.
Once the limelight was over, thanks to Gu Yi's participation, the "Haiphong Song and Dance Ensemble"'s song program performance soared, completely occupying a leading position among the country's literary and artistic groups.
For example, when discussing military literary and artistic groups in the future, the basis for the common conclusion among the masses was, "The general administration is genuine, the air force is vacuum, and the navy is crazy!"
Even if Mao Amin appears again in the "General Political Affairs" and Hang Tianqi appears in the "Air Affairs" in the future, the influence of "Coastal Defense" has not faded.
The reason is that there are too many pillars in the "Haiphong Song and Dance Ensemble", and many young actors come here to be famous and try to be their disciples, which leads to super strong hematopoietic function.
It is precisely because of this that the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" has far surpassed its own status as a second-tier song and dance troupe, and has almost always been on par with the General Administration.
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu once again changed the structure of the military art world with one word, and accomplished something that is usually only accomplished by big men hiding behind the scenes.
