Three months after the COVID-19 epidemic, the situation in Beijing improved in late April, and there were no new cases for many days. Having nothing to do, I suddenly remembered the place where I cut the queue in 1945. It was a small village southeast of Beijing, 33 kilometers away from Tiananmen Square. 1975-76 Graduated from high school in 1999 and cut the queue there for 2 years. At that time, male laborers in the village earned 10 cents a day, and 32 cents a day worked every year; women earned 8 work points a day, and male educated youth also earned 8 work points. It costs less than 10 yuan a month. At the price level at that time, 10 yuan was enough to feed for a month. The villagers also have to dress, raise children, and house; they don't know what to do when they are sick, and they don't remember who has seen the disease. The villagers can only drink porridge at night and cannot afford to eat dry food.

This is a satellite photo of the village. I went back once in the winter of 1997. Now that another 23 years have passed, I don't know how many villagers there are still here.

When you go out at 6:30 in the morning and take the No. 6 subway line, passengers are wearing masks

The inside of county-level buses is very new and clean

Liangshui River. I don't remember there was a river here. I checked online: "Around 2000, the water quality of Liangshui River was already inferior to five categories. When pollution was serious, there were 469 sewage outlets in the main river branch line in Beijing City, and 86 were in the Liangshui River area. In the past, I have often received letters and reports, and situational personnel have to endure the pungent smell even when patrolling the river." The situation has changed a lot now.

This should be near Maju Bridge, within Daxing County

I checked it out: Majuqiao second-hand house, 2 bedrooms, 1 living room and 1 bathroom, 90.91 square meters, north and south, high floor/6 floors, hardcover, built in 2003
, ¥ 2.85 million yuan, unit price 31,000 yuan/m2

This place should have been wheat fields back then. Now it only remains in my memory

Industrial parks are beginning to appear

It also provides employment opportunities for surrounding villagers

Liuminying Station. Net abstract: "The 72nd Lianying is the collective name for the villages named after the camp in the Fenghe River Basin in the southeastern Daxing District. In the early Ming Dynasty, zhi in this area once set up a Farming Bureau under Shanglin Garden Supervision. Since now, Shanxi and Shandong Province have immigrated to the jurisdiction of the Bureau and made a living by herding and planting. Immigrants have built villages along both sides of the Feng River. Most of them have built 58 battalions in the name of battalions. The villagers are accustomed to call them the "72nd Company Camp."

The clothes of people getting off the bus can be distinguished between cities and cities

This forest is purely for greening, and it is estimated that there is no actual income

greenhouses

Let's go to Changziying Town first. It was called a commune in those days

The road is still quite wide

At 9:00, it took 2h30 meters. The storefront buildings on both sides of the road are similar to those in various provinces and counties

1975-4-15 It was from this courtyard that I rode an ox cart sent by the village and received a queue from the village.

The storefront houses here should have a rental income of about 100,000 yuan a month

Dress like this

The town is seven miles south of the village. Go back by car

Get off at Zhangzhangying Middle School Station, which is the place where I taught 3 books back then

There is a man working in the flower shed by the roadside

The public toilet next to the station. Go in and have a look

It's no different from the toilets in the city. Use fewer people and make it cleaner

Taking pictures here is to record the changes in historical progress

Consider that 40 years ago, the per capita GDP of my country and India was the same. Let's make a comparison today. Mr. Jin is right. Whether a country's people's living standards can be improved depends on whether it can be industrialized.

The village on both sides of the road is called Qinshuiying Village

In 1975, this village earned more than our village per day, maybe 1 yuan, which was 2-3 times the income of our village

Now the village is a bungalow in one river, but there are no two-and third-story buildings

The roads on the ground are hardened, and wind and rain will not affect travel.

It is Chinese custom to have couplets at every door. replaced once a year

The shape of the bus in the town. Bibi Bus in New Delhi, the capital of India

It should be a new car belonging to the villagers and it hasn't been branded yet.

Is this couplet handwritten? integrity and who are well-educated

When you have money, you like SUVs. Traveling to Germany, two-thirds of the cars there are hatchbacks, which saves fuel.

The houses of each family are of equal standard. There are no slums or shantytowns around our big cities

At that time, the house was built with adobe walls and a layer of red bricks on the outside. It should be brick exterior walls today.

The entrance of the village has been closed and outsiders are not allowed to enter

Greening in the village

This is the location of the Commune Middle School at that time. In the winter of late 1975, a female teacher in the middle school gave birth and temporarily found our village to send someone to take the classes. I walked onto the podium in junior high school for the first time. My monthly salary is 35 yuan, 18 yuan is given to the team for job points, and the rest is for food expenses.
It should be a lesson for the first grade of junior high school, but I can't remember it clearly now. Living in the school's teacher dormitory, the two of them share a room, and a language teacher lives in the same room; he comes from a nearby village; I remember he once asked how to solve factorization problems because a student asked him that he was the class teacher. He confiscated a headless novel that students had brought to school. I read it. Later, I learned that the title was called "Laughing Marriage". At that time, tuition and miscellaneous fees for students were 2 yuan for one semester? A student couldn't afford tuition and miscellaneous fees. At that time, farmers basically had no access to cash. Eggs are the money of the villagers and are bartered.

I was here when Premier Zhou passed away from January 8, 1976

The main school building. Net abstract: In 2017-10, the salary of teachers stipulated by the state is not lower than that of civil servants, and the salary of teachers in suburban areas is lower, which is equivalent to that of civil servants in Qingshui Yamen. Teaching high school in Huairou, with 6 classes a week and a monthly salary of ¥ 2500, which is a good value for money. Primary school teachers are more than ¥ 3k. It turns out that our organization sent people to a primary school here at my home.

Online excerpt 2018-4-15: In Beijing's Urban area, RMB 3000 per month, and in Beijing's suburbs, middle school teachers who are new graduates are RMB 1600 per month. The same is true for high school teachers. Middle school and high school are at the same level. It mainly depends on how fast you advance. The salary for the first level of secondary education and senior level of secondary education is higher, but it is not well received and the competition is too fierce!

Zhangziying School is used by primary schools and junior high schools, with a total of 1500 students. I think I have to go to Huangcun, the central town of Daxing District in high school. The doorman said that teachers have a higher monthly salary of 5k. The school was suspended, and I, a former substitute teacher, was not allowed to visit.

Take the bus again and get off at the south side of Zhunao Village. Surrounding factory buildings, or office buildings

At 9:50, we arrived at the south gate of Zhunao Village. The plaque says: Zhu Nao Village. At that time, the villagers liked it: agate nao. That is, red agate.

There was a male villager sitting under the pergola. I walked forward and saw that he was the only two high school graduates in the village, surnamed Yuan; but I could no longer remember his name; the other was a girl, surnamed Wei. I haven't seen him since I left the village. After being prompted, he could actually call my name. He is in good health and has a straight waist. This is the benefit of not smoking. There were not many men in the village who didn't smoke at that time.

This is the villagers 'house in the village, with a two-story building.

A building of this color is a family

There is a shop downstairs and people live upstairs.

This is a family's house with three floors

Most of the houses in the village were built between 2015 and 2017. The cost is ¥ 400,000 - 500,000, the building is 2-3 floors, and the building area is 300-450m2. Water supply and drainage, flushing toilets, piped natural gas, Internet cord.

This is the outdoor unit for the air conditioner at home. The household heating electricity bill is 10,000 kWh/year x¥0.1/kWh =¥ 1k, and the excess electricity bill is recorded at the market price. The village no longer burns wood and coal. To solve the problem of air pollution in Beijing, the government provides subsidies. There is piped natural gas for cooking.

This is the new home of Jia Ge, the production team leader at that time, and it is located at the former site of our educated youth.

The owner, Jia Ge, was born in 1952 at the entrance of the restaurant. He is a clean man. The living room is white and the windows of the house are clean. The conditions are far better than I imagined, and I am really happy that they live such a good life.

The land area of each homestead in the village is: 14m X 20m=280m2. Jia Ge's building is a floor of 14m x 10m=140m2 building area = usable area. Spacious and bright. 80 cm X 80cm floor tiles. The skirting line.

The person wearing a red coat is Captain Jia's wife. People recalled that there were more than 100 people in the village, 11 of whom were semi-single. During my two years in the village, I didn't have a new daughter-in-law. Later, all singles had wives.

Several familiar villagers were called. The smoking buddies still smoked one cigarette after another. There is no one farming in the village now, and young people all work to earn money.

This is Brother Xiang, a clerk at the time. He is nearly 70 years old. He is in good health and he does not smoke.

The one in the middle is Brother Sheng, the captain's eldest brother. He was an electrician back then. Maybe I said it. The captain's family is 5 brothers and 2 sisters.

I planned to eat at the village restaurant for lunch. But the epidemic does not open the door. At noon, I ate 5 cold dishes, 5 hot dishes, pies, dumplings, and white wine at the captain's house.

Rural medical insurance payment is ¥360/year for adults, 60 for children, 55 for elderly men, and the annual payment is halved. Nine-year compulsory education is free. The government provides a living allowance of ¥800 per month for the elderly. The income from land industrialization of the villagers 'committee gives villagers ¥2k/person every year. The rental fee for agricultural farmland is ¥200/acre per year, and no one rents it.

A total of 5 villagers were met. I went to each house to see how their living conditions were.

The second family came to Brother Xiang's house. His home is a three-story building. There are multiple rental rooms. There are no paved houses.

Zhunao Village has 150 registered residents, with a monthly income of 700,000 yuan and a per capita income of ¥4600. It mainly includes rental housing (¥700/month) and shops (restaurants of 60,000/month).

Auxiliary corridor on the first floor of the building

Brother Xiang's living room is on the third floor, which is not as big as the captain's home. Brother Sheng's wife left early, and now his son's family lives with him. His daughter-in-law brings us tea and water. The family is very happy.

After leaving Brother Xiang's house, we went to the third house: Brother Sheng's house, where the person who poured water was his sister-in-law.

Brother Sheng's kitchen and dining room

Brother Sheng's bathroom, washing machine, toilet, everything

The fourth one is the exterior facade of Brother Yuan's house. The restaurant on the first floor is outsourced and has a monthly rental income of 60,000 yuan.

The kitchen is also a combined kitchen cabinet

At 15:00, the last and fifth families were Xiaofu's, who was born in 1962 or 1963. His home has the largest construction area, and the homestead is completely covered. The red door is the door of his home.

There is a long corridor in the building, with rental houses on the left and right. Provide him with a steady stream of rental income.

At 15:45, time flew by, and I was back on the bus from which I came.

Outside the car

The sky is very blue and there are some clouds

Foreword The blue road sign reads: Sixth Ring Road, Dayaoyi Road Crossing

This is Beijing's South Sixth Ring Road

Eight lanes away

The villagers in the village have a better life, and there is nothing more gratifying than this.

I wish their next generation and the next generation a better life
