Several third-tier factories in Xiangyang in this film have become the most popular tourist destinations during the Spring Festival. From the second day of the first month to now, they have received nearly 30,000 local citizens and foreign tourists every day, and more than 300,000 people have visited the clock on 10. Facing the swarming tourists, Weidong Machinery Chemical Factory, one of the shooting locations, even posted a notice to close the door to tourists.
Weidong Machinery Chemical Plant was originally code-named as 846 Factory, and was once a secret "third-line factory" for producing grenades, rifle grenades and other weapons and equipment. In the 1960s, Xiangyang, a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, was included in the national "third-line" construction key area.
From 1964 to 1980, large-scale national defense, science and technology, industry and transportation infrastructure construction was carried out in the central and western regions of China 13 provinces, which was called "three-line construction" in history.
At that time, the third-line construction needed "backing, dispersion and concealment", so most of the "third-line factories" chose mountainous areas. Xiangyang, Hubei Province, which is located between Qinling Mountains and Jianghan Plain, is precisely such a terrain, and more than 40 military industrial enterprises named after digital codes like Weidong Mechanical Chemical Plant have taken root here.
"I dedicated my youth to my life and my youth to my descendants." For this unprecedented economic construction and industrial transfer, millions of workers, workers, technicians and management cadres came to the ravine from developed areas such as Beijing and Shanghai and old industrial bases in Northeast China with nothing. However, due to historical reasons, the huge group of "third-line construction" is little known until today.
Yicheng Oriental Chemical Factory (former 525 Factory) in Jia Ling was jointly built by Qingyang Chemical Factory (former 375 Factory) and 805 Factory, 845 Factory and 255 Factory in Liaoning Province. It is not difficult to understand why the actors in the movie "Hi Mom" all speak Northeast dialect instead of Xiangyang dialect.
The year 198 1 when Jia Ling crossed back in the movie happened to be the first year when the "third-line construction" ended and the military conversion began. Aerospace 42, Huazhong Pharmaceutical, Jiangshan Heavy Industry, Xinhuaguang, Hubei Chemical Fiber Factory, Dongfang Chemical Factory, 3542 Factory ... These third-line military factories that once produced bullets have now grown into well-known domestic enterprises.
Because these "third-line factories" are far away from the urban areas and hidden in the depths of the mountains, a closed small society has formed over time. In addition to production workshops, schools, hospitals, banks, shopping malls, grain depots, cinemas, clubs, canteens, bathhouses, kindergartens, etc. There are factories outside. The former "third-line factory" was a small world in the mountains.
Weidong machinery chemical plant was founded in 1964, and still retains the original historical features of the third-line factory. Auditorium, volleyball court, workers' cultural palace, staff canteen, boating reservoir, kindergarten, window and other scenes. Everything that appeared in my mother's movie "Hi" was shot in the family area of this factory.
Weidong Machinery Chemical Factory, 603 Factory, Yicheng Oriental Chemical Factory and Laohekou Chemical Fiber Factory, which appeared in the film, became popular almost overnight. In front of the basketball court, barber shop, public hotel and staff canteen, there are tourists queuing to take pictures.
"My future daughter, I just want her to be healthy and happy", Li Huanying said to Jia Ling while sitting in a public hotel, which touched the hearts of all parents in the world and was also the most touching line in the whole film.
The most popular ones are Jia Ling and Michael Chen. They are near the staff canteen to take shelter from the rain, and everywhere their eyes are lined up to take photos and punch in. People who come to "punch in" are men, women and children. There are lovers, good brothers, good sisters and a family of three. They all learn the posture in the movie, and make room after taking a few pictures.
An old man playing erhu said, "Are they stupid? Why do you want to squeeze a few people into such a narrow place? "
The third-tier factory, which has been silent for many years, suddenly became lively because of a movie. Looking at the surging crowd in front of you, does it remind you of your aunt?
The young man who devoted himself to the third-line construction has now become a white-haired old man who catches fights. More than 60 years ago, their "third-line factory" was not known to outsiders because it was a state secret; In the 1980s, the "military to civilian" was ignored because it was out of touch with the times.
Spring is coming, everything is reviving, all kinds of seasonal vegetables in the garden are growing happily, and the roadside vegetable market full of fireworks is still so lively and full of vitality.
German artist Anselmus Kiefer once said, "I'm not nostalgic, I want to recall". Why is Hi Mom so popular? Perhaps it has uncovered the youth of our fathers and the memory of that generation. what do you think?
