The experience of the rise of Yiwu is familiar to many people. Among them, the most talked-about plot is that in the spring of 1982, a rural woman named Feng Aiqian, who was investigated and punished for setting up a stall, directly "broke into" the office of Xie Gaohua, then secretary of the county party committee, patted the table and said, "I hope to give farmers a bite to eat."
The story starts here. With the responsibility of an outstanding Communist Party member, Xie Gaohua led the cadres and the masses to break through all kinds of shackles, started the Yiwu reform, and opened the legendary curtain.
On August 25, 1982, the leading group for the rectification of the market in Choucheng Town, Yiwu County, issued the "No. 1 Notice" to open the "small commodity market", one in Huqingmen, Choucheng Town, and the other in Twenty Sanli Town.
Three months later, the Yiwu County Party Committee held a congress of professional households and key households, officially announcing the "four permits": allowing farmers to do business, allowing farmers to traffic long-distance, allowing urban and rural markets to open up, and allowing multi-channel competition.
Xie Gaohua said on the spot: "I'm responsible for the problem!."”
Since then, hundreds of thousands of Yiwu people who dare to start a business and are willing to endure hardships have happily poured into the market and thrown off their hands and feet to do a great job. A wooden plank, two stools, and small stalls are placed from outside the city to the city, until they are ...... at the entrance of the county
The small commodity market has been built from the first generation to the first generation, from the open air to the indoor, the facilities are becoming more and more perfect, and the reputation is getting louder and louder, which also attracts people from all over the world to work hard. Among them, Zhang Jiying, a young native of Shangyu in Shaoxing, followed his father who went south to the north to repair umbrellas to make a living, and after visiting Yiwu twice, he set up a one-meter-long stall and sold umbrellas in the Huangyuan Market that opened in the 90s of the last century.
Started with reform and grew by reform. By the beginning of the 21st century, Yiwu, which used to be "chicken feathers for sugar", has "flown to the sky", has the largest and most well-known small commodity market in the country, and has opened the transformation from domestic trade to foreign trade.
