After 1978, most of them spent the Spring Festival in other places, 7 times in Shanghai, 3 times in Guangzhou, 1 time in Hangzhou, and 1 time in Chengdu. Another time was spent in heaven, and two Spring Festivals were passed in one day. The Spring Festival is not only a joyful traditional festival, but also an excellent time to experience and bravely promote the reform and opening up.
It's New Year's Day in the sky!
At the end of 1978, when the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China achieved a great historical turning point, it was decided to establish diplomatic relations between China and the United States. On January 1, 1979, China and the United States formally established diplomatic relations. At the invitation of the United States, he paid an official visit to the United States in January 1979.
This is the first visit to the United States by a new Chinese leader, and it is of great global geopolitical significance. On January 28, the day of departure in Beijing, it happened to be the traditional Chinese New Year. At 9:45, the special plane of ** and his entourage took off. After the plane was in the air for a while, the flight attendants began to get busy.
On January 29, 1979, ** and the United States** Carter had the custom of eating dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year in northern China at the White House in Washington, D.C., on this day of family reunion, could the delegation eat delicious dumplings on the plane? The flight attendants had been preparing for a long time. At that time, there were no frozen dumplings on the market, and there were no modern food heating equipment on the plane. The flight attendants came up with a brilliant solution - "Cook dumplings in a teapot!" They used the large boiling water cup on the plane to heat the dumplings that had been packed into the ice box in advance, and served them with side dishes such as cold sausages and pickled cucumbers to make a delicious "Spring Festival meal". The flight attendant entered the chief passenger room with hot dumplings, and said humorously: "You can still eat dumplings on the plane!" We celebrate the New Year in heaven today! "At 3:30 p.m. EST on January 28, the plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington. On this day, the whole world celebrates, and the Chinese in the United States also welcome the Spring Festival in a festive atmosphere. The US side arranged for *** to attend a family dinner for *** adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. This dinner caters to the traditional habit of Chinese visiting friends during the Spring Festival. **Savor with relish, the typical American dish of Brzezinski's family dinner, roast beef. He was very satisfied with this arrangement, and spent two Spring Festivals in one day.
Everywhere is full of joy
**I spent a Spring Festival in Hangzhou, which was on February 13, 1983.
In 1982, the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the goal of "quadrupling" the annual output value of industry and agriculture by the end of the 20 th century. Can this goal be achieved? **Decided to conduct field research in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province and Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
On February 6, 1983, it was the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and ** came to Suzhou. On the afternoon of 7 July, when talking with the leaders of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, he went straight to the point: Can Jiangsu quadruple by 2000? What is the path of Suzhou's rural development? After receiving a very satisfactory answer, he said: "It seems that the market economy is very important! ”
In February 1983, ** inspected a farmers' market in Hangzhou.
On the afternoon of the 27th day of the lunar month, ** left Suzhou to Hangzhou and stayed in Liuzhuang. This is the 11th time to Zhejiang after the founding of the People's Republic of China. On the same day, he listened to a report by the leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee in Building No. 1 in Liuzhuang.
He told the leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee: "You think about it, when the per capita GDP reaches 800 US dollars, what will the society look like? What does the outlook look like? He seemed to ask himself: "There is no problem with food and clothing, and there is basically no problem with use; The culture has developed a lot, and the salaries of teachers are not low. He asked: "Jiangsu can quadruple by around 1988." Can Zhejiang achieve this goal? ”
Leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee proposed to triple per capita by 2000. It was a pleasure to hear: "To quadruple by the end of this century, we must have an overall plan, and each province must have its own plan, so that we know it in mind." It seems that there is great hope for the four modernizations! ”
February 12 was the night of Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve. ** To the leaders of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee: Don't have a banquet, it's okay to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In the evening, ** spent a pleasant Chinese New Year's Eve with the leaders and waiters of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee in Liuzhuang.
On the morning of the Spring Festival on February 13, he attended the Spring Festival group meeting held by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the province with Peng Zhen, and celebrated the Spring Festival with nearly 500 local party, government and military leaders and military and civilian representatives, and performed theatrical performances. After the performance, **Peng Zhen and others walked onto the stage, shook hands with the actors one by one, extended holiday greetings to everyone, and took a group photo.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, ** left Hangzhou and arrived in Shanghai, where he inspected the Jiaozhou Road Market in Jing'an District and Quyang New Village in Shibei District. Seeing that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, he said happily: "If you live well, I will be happy!" On the day of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he returned to Beijing by special train.
The 12-day trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou left a deep impression on ***. The great changes in the rural areas of Suzhou and Hangzhou have made the company full of confidence in "quadrupling" and achieving the goal of "well-off". On the train back to Beijing, someone asked him how he felt, and he said happily: "Everywhere is full of joy." ”
Our policy of establishing SEZs is correct
**After 3 Spring Festivals in Guangzhou, the Spring Festival spent in Guangzhou in 1984 was closely linked to the fate of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
In the early days of reform and opening up, under the kind care of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen Special Economic Zones, it was decided to set up Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen Special Economic Zones, but the road to the development of the Special Economic Zone was not smooth, especially the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, which even faced fierce debates on whether to continue before the inspection in January 1984.
On January 22, 1984, ** and Yang Shangkun and others left Beijing and headed south to Guangdong by special train. Arrived in Guangzhou on the morning of January 24 and arrived in Shenzhen at noon. ** Said to the people who came to greet him: "I proposed to set up a special economic zone, ** is determined, whether it can be successful, I want to take a look." In the afternoon, after listening to the report of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, he visited the city and climbed to the 22-storey rooftop of the International Commercial Building, overlooking the Luohu New Town under construction. Then I went to Sungang Road to see the overpass, and visited the Yijing Garden residential area, the new campus of Shenzhen University and other places.
In January 1984, ** came to Shenzhen for the first time and shook hands with workers in Shekou.
On the 23rd day of the 25th lunar month, I visited the Shenzhen Industry and Trade Center of China Aviation Technology Import and Export Corporation in the morning, visited the fishermen's village in the afternoon, and had dinner with the leaders of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee in the evening to celebrate the Spring Festival. On the morning of the 26th, he went to Shekou Industrial Zone to inspect, and then went to the sea amusement center that will open during the Spring Festival - "Sea World" for lunch. Visiting Shenzhen, ** was very interested, but did not express an opinion. The comrades in Shenzhen were nervous and uneasy.
On the afternoon of January 26, the first party went to Zhuhai and Zhongshan, and on the 27th of the lunar month, they went to the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone to inspect, and **Gongbei Customs and Kyushu Port inspected Xiangzhou Woolen Factory and Shishan Electronics Factory. At noon, when resting and dining at the Zhuhai Hotel, ** waved the pen at the request to order the people of Zhuhai to never forget the seven big characters: "Zhuhai Special Economic Zone is good." Then return to Guangzhou and stay at the Zhudao Hotel.
**The news of the inscription to Zhuhai immediately spread to Shenzhen, and the city leaders felt a lot of pressure and decided to send someone to Guangzhou to request an inscription for Shenzhen.
On February 1, the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sunshine in Yangcheng is exceptionally bright, the flower market in Yangcheng is pleasant, and everyone is ready for the New Year. **Get up early and take your grandson for a walk in the small garden where you live. At first, ** planned to write an inscription to Shenzhen after returning to Beijing, and her daughter Deng Nan said that it was not good for people to come back from Shenzhen, and it was not good to have a bad year. So, ** agreed to the inscription. After a little thought, he raised his wrist, hung his elbow and waved the pen dipped in ink, and inscribed word by word on rice paper: "Shenzhen's development and experience have proved that our policy of establishing a special economic zone is correct. **Twenty-six January 1984".
When the thoughtful *** made the payment, he did not write the time of the inscription in Guangzhou, but the day he left Shenzhen, which obviously shows that he had come to this conclusion when he inspected Shenzhen. The news quickly spread to Shenzhen, and the Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years seemed cold and calm in Shenzhen, but at this moment it was filled with an unusually lively and jubilant atmosphere, and the sound of firecrackers from all directions lasted for a long time. On the first day of the first lunar month of the next day, the inscription was met with the general public early in the morning through television stations, radio stations and "Shenzhen Special Zone Daily". Hong Kong television, across the river from Shenzhen, immediately broadcasts it every five minutes**. The whole city is immersed in festivities and joy. This Spring Festival, with the heavy gift of ***, Shenzhen people have a happy, down-to-earth and joyful life.
On the fourth night of the first lunar month, ** and his party left Guangzhou to inspect Xiamen and Shanghai, and returned to Beijing on February 17. On February 24, he delivered an important speech on "Running Special Economic Zones and Increasing the Number of Cities Opened to the Outside World". Since then, the work of opening up coastal cities has been carried out in an orderly manner, and a general pattern of opening up to the outside world has taken shape. **The inscription of the Chinese New Year in 1984 had a profound impact.
Shanghai should seize the tail of the 20th century
After 1988, ** spent the Spring Festival in Shanghai for 7 consecutive years, and every year there were big efforts to promote reform and opening up.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, January 26, 1990, he celebrated the Spring Festival with responsible persons of the party, government and military in Shanghai. During his stay in Shanghai, he asked the comrades in Shanghai to think about what big moves they can take to set up the banner of our reform and opening up in the international community.

The Chinese New Year of 1992 was very special.
