oneMany people say that Hu Xijin has begun to speak more and more human words since he lost money. No, someone turned out a post of his ** in October this year: You may not believe many things when you say it, we only canceled food stamps after 1992, and after 2002, commodities were gradually enriched, bidding farewell to the shortage economy, and people's incomes were generally increased after 2012......So for young people, we've only been living a good life for nearly 10 years, and we really can't be scared. 
Of course, this passage is addressed to some young people who are accustomed to beating chicken blood. I would like to talk about the abolition of food stamps, specifically, the national abolition of food stamps in 1994, or even 1995 or 1996 – not to mention young people, many people may be surprised, but it is a fact. However, many people may not know that as the pioneer of the reform and opening of the year, the time for Shenzhen to cancel the food stamps will be pushed forward by more than ten years. 
II. II. IISpeaking of the famous queuing incident after the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, many people will think of the first turmoil that occurred in August 1992, when millions of people poured into Shenzhen and queued up all night to subscribe for new shares. In fact, before that, there was a queuing incident that had a wide impact, buried in the dust of time and unknown. But it has an extraordinary weight for those who witnessed it and for the grand history – the queue was associated with the abolition of food stamps, and the monolithic planned economy was opened up and collapsed. 
Before we can officially describe this incident, it is necessary to explain to people today what a food stamp is. It is a kind of grain purchase voucher issued by China from the 50s to the 80s of the 20th century, and its types and quantities are known as "the world's most", more than 2,500 cities and counties across the country, as well as some large enterprises, factories and mines, farms, schools, institutions and other units, have issued and used various food stamps to carry out planning. At that time, the food ** certificate, which was commonly known as the "grain book", was as important as the household registration book and marriage certificate. In a sense, food stamps and yellow-skinned and black-lettered food books have become passports for people to eat. 
In 1955, the first set of national food stamps was issued.
For example, in 1961, Wu Mi, a master of Chinese studies, wanted to visit Chen Yinke in Guangzhou. Chen Yinke was very happy, but wrote to Wu Mi and said: "Brother brings rice tickets for seven taels a day, which seems to be available for two meals, and in the morning, brother should not buy eggs as gifts, or there is no problem." Wu Mi replied that he had brought a lot of food stamps, one pound a day, and he didn't need Chen Yinke to prepare another breakfast for him. Wu and Chen were both university professors at the time and had a lot of income, but they still specifically mentioned food stamps in their letters, which shows the importance of food stamps. 
Egg ticket. Therefore, before the reform and opening up, when urban residents moved their household registration, there was a special relationship called "grain relationship", and the grain relationship would eventually be concretely implemented in the grain store, and the person concerned could only be limited to the grain store to buy grain. After the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, a large number of foreign builders poured into Shenzhen, and the population of the special economic zone swelled from more than 20,000 to hundreds of thousands. Most of them have not moved their hukou over, or they are non-urban population, so they have not transferred their food relations. Without food stamps, it is impossible to get food rations**, even eating in restaurants is a problem, and the inadequacy of food rations begins to appear. In 1983, Shenzhen tried to use the method of exchange coupons, and first implemented the operation of not collecting food stamps in some businesses. In other words, if you don't have food stamps, you can eat for a little more. Unexpectedly, even if the ** has increased tenfold, no one is too expensive, and all of a sudden major restaurants and stores have followed suit, and there is no longer a need to take out food stamps when trading. However, as more and more restaurants can eat without food stamps, the ** of food has become a problem. Due to the fact that the whole country was still a ration system at that time, the best grain that could be circulated in Shenzhen was very limited. As a result, Shenzhen once again used the exchange system to raise grain from all over the country, which soon attracted a large number of foreign merchants. For a time, beer from Shandong, lotus seeds from Jiangxi, and sausages from Sichuan were continuously shipped to Shenzhen, not only the materials in the market became more and more abundant, but also decreased. ThreeOn November 1, 1984, Shenzhen officially took the lead in the country to cancel the grain book, oil book, and food stamps - this is an earth-shattering and epoch-making move in today's view, but it caused panic in Shenzhen at that time. Once the habit of buying grain and oil with food stamps and oil stamps for decades has been broken, it has brought people an unprecedented sense of discomfort and unease. People are worried that there will be a situation where there is no food to buy and they will go hungryAfter all, the memory of hunger has a huge inertia. 
So, after the news spread, the new policy had not yet been implemented, and hungry citizens lined up at the grain station to buy grain and oil. According to the "Shenzhen Special Zone Daily", Liu Jingxiu, a native citizen, saw that people were queuing up to buy rice and grain at major grain stations, and even had conflicts with the staff of the grain station. "I went to the queue at 5 a.m. that day, but there was already a long queue in front of me. After the grain store opened, a bunch of people poured in, and soon the grain store said that there was no grain to sell, and there was a riot in the ranks, and many people scolded, and even wanted to go to the grain store. Due to the fruitlessness of buying grain, Liu Jingxiu had to go to other grain stations to try his luck. But no matter which grain station you go to, the result is the same. There was no choice but to wait for the new policy to be implemented. However, she "didn't expect that after the cancellation of food stamps, not only would she not be unable to buy food, but it would also be very convenient to buy food." Zhao Meiying, who came to Shenzhen from Meizhou in December 1984, caught up with the historic event of Shenzhen's cancellation of food stamps. Zhao Meiying said that before coming to Shenzhen, she did not know that Shenzhen did not need food stamps, and when she moved her household, she still moved the grain migration certificate and household registration from Meizhou. And with her to Shenzhen, there is also her life savings - 70 catties of food stamps. "At that time, food stamps were more important assets than money to us, because we were all used to it, and without food stamps, even if we had money, we would go hungry. After coming to Shenzhen, Zhao Meiying found out that just a month ago, the food stamps had been cancelled here, which means that all the food stamps brought were useless!Despite this, Zhao Meiying is still very happy. "When I was in Meizhou, my salary was only 49 yuan and 5 jiao, but when I arrived in Shenzhen, my salary suddenly rose to more than 300 yuan, and a month was half a year's salary!Zhao Meiying said that at that time, every time she introduced Shenzhen to outsiders, she would always add a sentence "Come to Shenzhen, there is no need for food stamps here!."”
It was not until 1993 that the "Notice on Accelerating the Reform of the Grain Circulation System" proposed: from April 1 of that year, grain stamps and oil stamps were abolished, and grain and oil commodities were opened. In 1994, food stamps were largely abolished throughout the country. Of course, there is also a small twist and turn. Not long after the food stamps were abolished, the grain not only rose wildly, but also decreased sharply, and the fear of food shortage quickly enveloped everyone again, and some places hurriedly restored the food stamp system. As a matter of fact, this was only a self-adjustment made by the market when the system was changed, and in less than a year, the market grain prices tended to stabilize, and the grain problem was officially on the right track. From 1994 to 1996, food stamps were reprinted across the country and were withdrawn from the market without even seeing the public. The era of tickets has come to an end, and the shackles on the commodity have finally been opened. Yes, as the standard of the planned economy, it is not a long time before we say goodbye to food stamps, and today we should not only not be afraid of it, but also be wary of its comeback one day. 100 help plan
