The changes in clothing, food, housing and transportation in the past 70 years are now there

Original title: looking at change from "material shortage" to "quality life"

From the fact that matches and nails have to be imported from abroad, to the rush to buy the 'four major items', and then to today, only unexpected and not impossible. Over the past 70 years, people's consumer goods have changed from extreme scarcity to great abundance, which not only brings people a real sense of happiness and gain, but also witnesses the great changes and prosperity of the country.

In Anhui, the world's largest home appliance production base, 35 refrigerators are offline and 21 TVs are packed every minute.

In Shanghai, the world's first B2C full process unmanned warehouse, nearly 600000 packages are delivered to consumers from here every day.

In the home of Beijing resident Zhang Jing, all kinds of outdoor appliances are hung on a whole wall.

Beijing resident Zhang Jing: I use them here when climbing and outdoors. I use them there when diving and photography, so there are almost more than ten kinds of locks here.

Today, ordinary people are extremely rich in daily necessities. China has the largest category of consumer goods industry with the strongest manufacturing capacity in the world, and the output of more than 100 kinds of light industrial products ranks first in the world. However, at the beginning of the founding of new China, materials were extremely scarce. Even small things such as matches and nails used by ordinary people had to be imported from abroad.

Hu Nan, former director of the comprehensive planning department of the Ministry of light industry: in 1949, the total output value of China's light industry was only 4.8 billion, with an average of less than 9 yuan per person. What can 9 yuan do? Only two washbasins can be bought.

Open the first Five-Year Plan of new China, such as matches, bicycles and rubber shoes, which now seem very common. At that time, as the most urgent industrial production category, they were placed in the same important position as steel and ships.

However, the light industry established on the basis of poverty and poverty is difficult to meet the basic needs of the people.

Around the 1970s, bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios were the dream "luxury" of most young people when they got married; By the early 1980s, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and tape recorders had become the "new four major items" pursued by the people, and the hot scenes of competing for purchase often appeared.

Cui Zhaosen, a citizen of Jinan: in my sister's unit, more than 100 people were allocated a TV ticket. Finally, everyone allocated it by drawing lots, and my sister was caught. We were very excited that night. The whole family chipped in to buy the TV.

In order to make home appliances enter the homes of ordinary people as soon as possible, since the 1980s, the state has vigorously developed the consumer goods industry. Only by introducing refrigerator and washing machine production lines, it has taken out US $400 million in foreign exchange. In just a few years, the output of TV sets, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners in China has successively ranked first in the world, and the people have been dazzled by a wide range of commodities.

From "yes or no" to "good or bad", entering a new era, people begin to pay more attention to the quality and experience of life.

Gao Yanmin, director of the consumer goods industry department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, I remember that at the central economic work conference held in 2015, general secretary Xi Jinping referred to the structural reform of the supply side, and especially referred to the supply of high-end products such as rice cookers and toilet seats. There are too many medium and low-end, too few medium and high-end.

In this laboratory in Guangdong, there are more than 2000 kinds of rice on the market. At which temperature each grain of rice is best cooked, it is drawn into various cooking curves. Aiming at what the people want, all walks of life have started a drastic supply side revolution.

Innovation is in full swing, and various cutting-edge technologies such as big data, cloud computing, Internet of things, artificial intelligence and visual positioning are quickly applied to people's lives. Super robots, wearable devices, smart homes, all kinds of new products emerge in endlessly, and people's lives have entered a new round of earth shaking changes.

Wuhan citizen Cao Xuemei: turn on the light, turn it on and turn it off. Medicine box, it opens automatically when the injection starts. There's something better. There's no food in the refrigerator. My granddaughter, she's in Hankou. She can see it so far away from me, so grandma doesn't lack anything in the refrigerator. Now we old people have never dreamed that we can live such a beautiful life now.

Today, China is building the world's most advanced 5g network, and new models such as sharing economy, mobile payment and smart Internet continue to bring more innovative products. The yearning for a better life and the pursuit of individuality are shaping a new green, intelligent and fashionable life for the Chinese people.

Citizens of Zhuji: as soon as the mobile phone is turned on, you can order what you want and get what you want. In addition, you can return it if you are satisfied or not. You see how good life is now.

Hefei citizen: what I didn't dare to think about in the past, now there are.

Hefei citizen: life is so good. I feel very happy.
