Li Zhijun and his beloved bicycle
"Permanent brand" bicycle traveling through the city to see you
"Look, the frame, handlebar, fork, and ring are all made of manganese steel, with a net weight of only 18 kilograms." On the day of the donation, donor Li Zhijun came to Chengdu Museum with the permanent brand 13 bicycle that he had accompanied him for many years. This bike has been riding for 51 years, but with the careful care of Li Zhijun, the bike is still neat and exquisite. On the head of the car, the Shanghai "permanent" logo is still very eye-catching, and the instructions and purchase invoices are neatly preserved. Li Zhijun recalled that he graduated from Chengdu Aviation Industry College and went to work at Qingjiang Instrument Factory (now Chengdu Aviation Instrument Company). He lives near Xinnanmen and spends more than three hours on the road every day. Li Zhijun tried his best to get a very tight "ticket" and spent 200 yuan to buy this permanent PA13. In 1967, his monthly salary was only 38.29 yuan. It took him nearly half a year to buy this car. But in the 1960s, it was something that many people envied.
In 1968, Li Zhijun met his wife and got married. At that time, his wife's work unit was on Renmin South Road, while he was in Huangtianba. In order to be able to get together with his wife every day, he rode his bicycle to and from Chengdu city and suburbs every day. This ride lasted for 10 years, from gravel roads and mud roads to the current asphalt roads, regardless of wind or rain. Later, he used this car to take his children to kindergarten. After retirement, he rode it to fish and buy groceries. "This is our whole family's transportation."
Ticket era "Limited life" ups and downs
"Shopping with tickets" was once an important feature of the planned economy era. Food coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, and even color TVs and bicycles need to be purchased with tickets, and it is difficult to move forward without tickets. From the issuance of the first food coupon in 1955 to the end of the food coupon in 1993, the era of tickets has gone through 38 years and has become an unforgettable memory of Chinese people's lives. Tickets witnessed the changes in consumption methods for the 40th anniversary of the country's reform and opening up; tickets also recorded the ups and downs of people's lives.
Qingyang Palace Tickets
Chengdu elderly man Liu Caigeng is 69 years old this year. He has collected tickets for more than 30 years and has a total of more than 30,000 tickets. In his opinion, the small changes in tickets have also witnessed the changes in people's material living standards over the past 40 years of reform and opening up. "For example, the ticket to this cultural park." Liu Caigeng said that before the reform and opening up, the Chengdu Cultural Park and the Qingyang Palace were combined, and the octagonal pavilion printed on the ticket was a witness to this history.
bid farewell to the era of "shopping with tickets", and various bills in people's lives are also constantly changing. The small and thin tickets in the 1950s, the black and white pattern design that gradually emerged in the 1980s, the colorful tickets that appeared in the 1990s, and the popularity of electronic tickets, people's lives are getting better and better. On the basis of using the tickets, tickets have also become a proof of the progress of life that integrates technology and viewing.
The exhibits collected in the past two months, and many citizens donated various tickets they collected. Li Jinshan, secretary of the Party Committee of Wenjiang North Street Community, found grain, oil and cloth tickets, while Mr. Liu, the "old Chengdu" tells the story of a family of families relying on small food tickets to make a living in the 1970s. They recalled the past when "for tickets" and also lamented that they can now buy the speed and convenience of what they think with a mobile phone.
aircraft model holds the aerospace dream of generations
Wickjing and his aircraft model
Wickjing, 81 years old this year, regards Chengdu as his "second hometown". In 1958, he transferred from the army to Chengdu, and then he worked and started a family in Chengdu. By chance, he met Chen Yingming, a well-known , in the field of aviation model production, and then followed him to make aircraft models. "Before I made the aircraft model, I didn't know anything about the aircraft, but after working on the model for 60 years, I learned a lot of knowledge about the aircraft. Making the aircraft model has affected my life," said Wei Kejing. Over the past 60 years, Wakejing has made thousands of scaled aircraft models, ranging from one or two meters long models made at a ratio of 1:5 to a mini model of about 8 cm. Wake Jing used his hands to become the best recorder of China's aviation industry development since the reform and opening up.
In recent years, as the only comprehensive innovation and reform pilot province in the country with the in-depth development of military-civilian integration as its core task, Sichuan systematically planned the in-depth development of military-civilian integration, further stimulated new growth points in the aerospace industry, and made new breakthroughs in a series of high-end R&D and manufacturing such as J-20, large aircraft, and general aviation. Military-civilian integration has gradually allowed cutting-edge technology to enter the homes of ordinary people, and the in-depth development of military-civilian integration has also become a way for the happiness of the people in society.
In the past few months, the Chengdu Museum has received hundreds of items of large and small provided by many citizens, covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and bringing us into that history with the unique atmosphere of different eras. The admission notice when the college entrance examination was just resumed in 1978 carried the owner's excitement of his dreams to come true; the belt with a zipper that could stuff money was filled with the owner's ambition to travel through the business world through the economic wave; the photos of the "yellow whirlwind" of the Quanxing Football Team are the igniting years that old Chengdu cannot forget... More than 200 physical objects and more than 400 photos, using these exhibits that still have "residual warmth" tell the life stories of Sichuan people over the past 40 years, and also reflect the glorious changes in Sichuan.
