In terms of "clothes": before the reform and opening up, as "the eldest wears new clothes, the second wears old clothes, and the third wears mending clothes". Looking across the street, people wear almost the same color: blue, green and gray, and the styles and fabrics are also monotonous. Basically, it is a Chinese tunic suit made of khaki and homespun and clothes that can't be described by style.

Nowadays, buying new clothes has become a freewheeling thing. People's clothes are no longer limited to a single dull color. Fabric and style? Pay attention to individuality and diversity in dress, and pursue fashion trends. Many people advocate brands, and world-class famous brands and luxury goods have gained unprecedented favor in the China market. Walking down the street? Just like watching a fashion show.

In "food": 3? 0 years ago, in the countryside, "taking class struggle as the key link", farming methods were backward, agricultural output was low, economic income was poor, and food supply was tight. Many things were quantified according to per capita votes, which restricted supply.

Every household is saving food stamps. Meat tickets, sugar tickets, bean products tickets, egg food tickets, and all kinds of things are usually reluctant to use, and they are not taken out until the Chinese New Year holiday to improve food. Every family lives a frugal life. Few grocery stores sell chickens, ducks and fish, and everyone can't afford it with low income. Even those with a slightly better economy have sold out.

With the deepening of reform and opening up and the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, the era of serious food shortage is gone forever. As a historical memory, all kinds of tickets have become treasures in the hands of collectors, and grain shops and non-staple food shopping malls have been replaced by large supermarkets and markets. No matter what season, all kinds of meat, aquatic products, eggs, vegetables and fruits are readily available, and people's requirements for food are getting higher and higher.

Pay attention to the combination of thickness. Light taste and balanced nutrition. Wild vegetables and coarse grains used to satisfy hunger because of insufficient food have now become healthy food on the table. What about now? "Eating" is not only to fill the stomach, but also a way for people to pursue taste and enjoy life.

In terms of "housing": "Living in peace" is the livelihood issue that people are most concerned about. In rural areas in the 1970s, people lived in thatched houses, and families with better family economy could live in adobe houses. ? In the 1970s, cities, urban residents and other countries built houses, and units allocated houses. The top building was the mainstream of that era. Several families share a kitchen and play symphonies of pots and pans. There is no separate bathroom in the house, so they have to go far away to have a public toilet.

Significance of reform and opening up

To speed up China's economic development, we must further emancipate our minds, speed up the pace of reform and opening up, and not be bound by some abstract arguments such as "society" and "capital". Socialism should win greater advantages than capitalism.

We should boldly absorb and learn from all the advanced management methods and means in the world, including developed capitalist countries, which reflect the general laws of modern socialized mass production and commodity economy.

As useful supplements, foreign capital, resources, technology, talents and private economy should and can be used by socialism. The political power is in the hands of the people and there is a strong public ownership economy. This will not harm socialism, but will only benefit its development.
