"The air was trembling, as if the sky were on fire."
"Yes, the storm is coming."
This is a line of dialogue from the Yugoslav movie "Walter Defends Sarajevo".
If it were used to describe Hong Yanwu's feelings about 1983, it would probably be more appropriate.
As for why, is there any need to say?
People today can basically understand that this is a terrible troubled year.
Hong Yanwu himself thought back to his previous life, and found out that he escaped this disaster purely by accident and confusion.
Because after he resigned from Christianity in 1977, he first wandered around other places for several years.
After that, he returned to Beijing, and within a few months he was "in" again for hurting someone while drunk.
By the time the storm reached its peak, his sentence was almost complete, and no one knew what he had done in the past few years in other places, so that he could survive the disaster safely.
Otherwise, if the things he did were not posted on the wall like "eating black dates", then he would have to go to the frontier. He would not want to come back in less than ten years.
As for now, although he has already been there, he has also made extremely complete preparations for this day to come.
But just because no one knows better than him the serious consequences of this nationwide social security crisis.
Once he really faced this life again, he had to prepare for it and became nervous.
For no other reason than that, he knew that he couldn't afford to lose. If there was any mistake or accident, he would have to pay it to his grandma's house.
In addition, it is actually precisely because he has held this string for a long time and has been paying attention continuously.
With his clear mind and keen eyesight today, he re-observed the formation of this "storm" and gained a more objective, comprehensive and profound understanding of the overall incident and situation.
He was surprised to find that the real "storm" started as early as last year.
It's just that the first stage was aimed at cracking down on crimes in the economic field, and it only caught government officials and businessmen who violated disciplines and famous wealthy businessmen, so it didn't attract the general attention of the people.
The "Eight Kings of Wenzhou" are typical representatives.
The result of this series of battles was that 320 million yuan in stolen money was recovered nationwide.
If you compare it with the data of GDP of 15.994 billion yuan that year, you will know that this number is absolutely a remarkable achievement.
Now, now, it will soon be the turn of some people who have made serious mistakes but are still on top to be unlucky.
Because just on the day before New Year's Day, December 30, 1982, the country officially issued a decision to clean up "three types of people" in the class ranks.
The implementation of this aspect is also very strong.
At least in the end, the phenomenon of overstaffing in many units has been greatly alleviated, and it has also provided room for advancement for young and middle-aged cadres.
Otherwise, even with the retirement system, it will not be so easy to "rejuvenate cadres."
But for the same reason of "it's none of their business", the common people still didn't pay much attention to the whole process.
After that, we must wait until this clean-up operation comes to an end, and then carry out the rectification content that goes deep into people's lives.
The public will finally be touched and even react in shock.
But by that time, few people really knew that this was already the finishing work of catching small fish and shrimps.
All in all, everything is not isolated.
If we regard the rectification actions related to social security that took place in one year only as accidental events caused by the vicious case of "Two Kings", or simply as a bottoming out of the deterioration of social security to a certain extent, it will be a bit unavoidable.
Superficial and one-sided.
In fact, even if there is no "Two Kings" incident, the "storm" will definitely come. And the scope and intensity will still strive to catch them all and eliminate all evil.
Because when it comes to the core issue, it doesn’t just point to the aspect of social security.
Fundamentally, the upper echelons of the country follow the principle of "no destruction, no establishment" and strive to use this thunderous means to create an overall social environment that is disciplined, clean and safe in order to achieve the goal of rapid economic development in the shortest possible time.
In order to ensure the realization of this goal, we will not tolerate any aspect of harboring evil and evil.
As long as anyone understands this, he will naturally not feel unwilling or lucky.
Either go out and take shelter from the wind, or lie down and wait for the wind to pass. This is the rule to save your life.
As for specific preventive measures, Hong Yanwu has been working hard to take care of these things personally since the Chinese New Year.
The first thing is to make active adjustments in buying and selling.
After several years of hard work, Hong Yanwu's business has basically been cleaned up. But now the foreign exchange certificates are still left in the dark.
So I decided that I would be busy until the Spring Festival at most, and after earning enough money for the "third person"'s desperate attempt to give gifts, I would stop the business of selling foreign exchange certificates to tobacco, alcohol and television.
But stop and go, you can't let these people idle, because if people are idle, they are more likely to cause trouble.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu, including Angelo, his daughter-in-law and his wife, including "Xiaobaizi", "Dayong"'s transportation team, and the brothers who worked in the hotel, all had to find a way for them to temporarily change their jobs to do other things.
.
As for the specific direction, he has a rough idea.
For example, Angelo and his wife can be placed at the tourist port. After all, selling things in Longkou Village also earns foreign exchange, so having them as a new force is their rightful place.
As for the "Xiaobaizi" and "Dayong" people, except for the two leaders who can help him with inventory and inventory, he plans to send the others to the cigarette shop of "Naughty" and "Shunzi".
This is also suitable, since they are all about smoking and drinking, and it’s quick to get started.
Only the person number 20 in the hotel gave Hong Yanwu a bit of a headache at first, but thanks to God's help, things got better within a few days.
Fortunately, he heard that a notice was posted in front of Wangfujing Department Store.
The Dongcheng District Government has also officially followed the model of the Xidan Clothing Night Market, building a cast-iron greenhouse in front of the department store and setting up a clothing night market of their own.
So he quickly asked Song Guofu to introduce him and got in touch with the director of the East Chang'an Street Industrial and Commercial Office.
After a lot of eating and planning, he booked sixteen stalls in advance for this group of people.
Calculating the time, Dongcheng District Night Market wants to open during the Spring Festival, which would be a good time.
But if you want more stalls, they will be gone.
This is also because the Xidan Night Market is so successful that people who want to participate, regardless of their relationship, have already lined up in long lines, which really gives the person in charge of the industrial and commercial department a headache.
The second is the change in the rules of living and traveling.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan probably discussed it and decided not to leave the house this year to ensure safety.
No idlers will be seen, so as not to cause trouble outside.
Don't talk about restraining yourself. Visiting the handicraft factory is completely stopped. You can't even go to the Jianguo Hotel.
Because places like this are the focus of national security. When the country first opened, people were watching every restaurant.
When you get older, you have to be in other people's eyes, which is still troublesome.
Simply stay at home and learn English in a down-to-earth manner, or learn cooking skills from Zhang Dashao.
I happened to use the skills I learned to serve my parents, and also build good relationships with my neighbors.
The third is the differentiated treatment in interpersonal relationships.
Not to mention people like the Yang family and the Song family, who are his most trustworthy protective umbrellas, so he naturally has to maintain good relations with them.
Even the policemen they knew had to give some generous gifts during the Spring Festival this year.
As for Factory Manager Yang and the Chief of the Administrative Section, they have to run around a lot on the first day of the new year, thinking about giving New Year greetings to others with good cigarettes and wine.
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. It’s not weird if you give gifts to many people, right?
This will also prevent you from having no one to help you when you offend someone.
As for his brothers, of course Hong Yanwu also had to make his judgment on the severe situation in the future clear to them.
Then they were asked to make their own decisions. Anyone who has behaved inappropriately in recent years should come forward immediately.
He will gradually arrange for these people to go to the Flower City after the festival and come back a year later.
Otherwise, if they don't take it seriously and they are "carried" in by others, don't blame them for standing by and watching.
Finally, for those social friends, Hong Yanwu not only gave one year's "protection fee" to "Xiao Leizi" in advance, but also gave "Old Ghost", "Nail", "Bashi", "Xiao Jujuo", "
"It's a good fit." These guys were all relieved.
There was nothing else but one. He told them his worries seriously and advised them to prepare money and leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble if they had trouble.
Of course, it's up to them to listen or not, but if they don't inform them in advance, they will feel a little embarrassed.
In this way, you are benevolent and have a clear conscience.
But conversely, nothing is absolute.
Once the "storm" passes, there will actually be many benefits.
Because never forget the fundamental purpose of the country.
The so-called "catch and release, catch and release" means catching to prepare for release, and only if you catch it first can you release it later.
This means that unprecedented policy loosening and the prospect of large-scale and all-round economic development are not far away.
In addition, after an unprecedented large-scale purge, almost all the people who could compete with others have entered, and the ecological environment they will face in the future will definitely be extremely beautiful.
To put it bluntly, as today's restless people, whoever can really pass this test is not far away from straightening up and being a good person.
This is really a bit like overcoming a calamity and becoming an immortal.
