Chapter 146: Reform and opening up, finally here! (asking for monthly tickets)

In the office of World Economy, Lu Zhuoming was a little surprised to see a group of students coming.

"What's the matter with you guys coming here?"

Lu Zhuoming looked at the group of students and asked with some confusion.

Now that world economics has become a separate major, it also has an office.

When he doesn't have classes, Lu Zhuoming usually stays in the office.

"Teacher Lu, we came to you mainly to ask you about the geography and economics of Annan."

“The geo-economics of Annam?”

Lu Zhuoming was a little confused.

Li Changhe came to Lu Zhuoming with a newspaper.

"Teacher Lu, we want to publish some articles about the regional economy of Annan in the newspaper, especially its northern economic zone."

Li Changhe pointed at the conflicting news in the newspaper and said solemnly.

Lu Zhuoming took a look at the newspaper and after seeing the news, he immediately understood what they were thinking.

"Okay, but I need a few days to sort out the information!"

"Teacher Lu, I'll help you!"

At this time, Kou Kuige took the initiative to step forward and spoke loudly.

Lu Zhuoming looked at him deeply, then nodded: "Okay, then you go."

But then, Lu Zhuoming looked at Li Changhe and the others and asked thoughtfully, "Who came up with the idea of ​​publishing this news article?"

"Teacher Lu, it was Changhe who proposed it."

Lu Zhuoming then looked at Li Changhe and said calmly, "Okay, you guys go out, Li Changhe stay for a while."

After hearing Teacher Lu's instructions, the others all left, leaving only Li Changhe in the office.

Lu Zhuoming looked at Li Changhe deeply, and then asked calmly: "You must have some ideas, tell me honestly."

The last time Li Changhe studied and researched Hong Kong Island's issues with him, he initially thought that Li Changhe was diligent and studious and was interested in the regional economy of Hong Kong Island.

But later, when the foreign affairs department came to him for verification, he discovered that the boy was indeed studious, but he was also using him as a cover-up.

Of course, he wasn't sure whether Li Changhe did it on purpose or not, but he was sure of one thing: this guy must have done it for a purpose.

And today, because of a piece of news, people are so excited?
"Do you think there will be a fight over there?"

Lu Zhuoming asked Li Changhe calmly at this time.

Li Changhe nodded: "I think that if the other party keeps provoking us like this, they will definitely fight back."

"So, do you think it's better to write about their economic focus and publish it to alert the higher-ups?"

"Just post it and see if it's useful!"

Li Changhe said seriously.

Victory has been proven by history. What Li Changhe is thinking about now is whether he can expand the results of the victory.

"Okay, I got it. Let me study it over the next two days!"

Lu Zhuoming knew the purpose of Li Changhe and the others, so he knew where to start.

Sure enough, two weeks later, Kou Kuige came to find Li Changhe excitedly.

"Changhe, it's passed, it's passed!"

Kou Kuige came to Li Changhe with a military publication.

In the end, it was Lao Kou who wrote this manuscript.

Because of his military background, Lao Kou is also the one who cares the most about this. He stays up all night to check information and data, focusing on what Mr. Lu is guiding, and strives to restore the most authentic data.

In the end, the finished manuscript really amazed Li Changhe. If Li Changhe were to write it, he felt that he might not be able to write it that well.

In the end, this manuscript was successfully published in an important publication within the military.

This submission channel is also something that Li Changhe and Lao Tao do not have.

"Congratulations, Lao Kou!"

When Li Changhe saw Kou Kuige's name as the corresponding author, he immediately smiled and congratulated him.

"Long River, Long River"

At this moment, Haiwen hurriedly ran into the dormitory.

"what happened?"

Li Changhe looked at Haiwen's hurried appearance and asked curiously.

"Changhe, look at this"

Haiwen also took out a newspaper, but this time it was the People's Daily. The news in it described the content of the high-level work meeting held this month. For the first time, it proposed to shift the focus of the next work to economic construction.

"We heard from the minority that the country will reform next?"

"Changhe, what do you think reform is?"

Li Shaomin's family is in the propaganda department, so he would bring back a lot of information to other students and knew more than others.

Not long after, many other students in the class also came over, without a doubt, to discuss "reform" with Li Changhe.

Now the political economy class seems to have a general understanding. If there is anything you don’t understand, just go find Li Changhe, he will definitely help you.

This guy always gives a different answer.

"Changhe, what do you think reform is?"

“It says this is to develop the economy, but how do we do this?”

Li Changhe heard a group of people asking questions and shook his head: "You all ask me what I am doing, how would I know?"

"You know so much about this, don't you know?"

Liu Wei said hesitantly.

Li Changhe sighed: "In fact, reform, from ancient times to the present, is to break the old system and replace it with a new model."

"Didn't you say before that when you were in class and listened to the teacher's lectures on Marxist economics, you felt that some things were different from what you actually encountered in the countryside?"

"In my opinion, this situation is that economic theory is not suitable for the real environment, so we can't apply it mechanically. We should optimize and improve it based on this theory to make it suitable for our actual situation."

“I think that’s probably what reform means.”

Li Changhe explained to everyone helplessly.

The group of people who listened were a little confused. They felt that they understood some of it, but not completely.

"There's no rush for this, and it's not something we should worry about. Just study hard and wait."

In fact, if we calculate the time, the household contract responsibility system should have appeared in Anhui Province by now, but it probably has not been discovered by the higher-ups and the news has not been released.

Li Changhe shook his head and advised the students.

However, even though Li Changhe said this, in fact, reform will still be the hottest topic at Peking University.

And in the midst of such heated discussions, time quickly came to December.

This month, the country also released several shocking news in succession, shocking the whole world.

First, on December 12, the two countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean simultaneously issued a communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, deciding to recognize each other and establish formal diplomatic relations starting from January 16, 1979.

The announcement of this relationship was like a thunderclap that exploded around the world.

There is no doubt that the announcement of this situation has caused an uproar in countries around the world.

However, for the domestic situation, there are actually not too many twists and turns.

What really caused a stir in the country was the plenary session two days later. This session completely clarified the country's future development path and shifted the focus of the country's work to economic construction, which also meant.

The reform and opening up has officially begun.

Of course, this is the literal beginning.

In fact, with the convening of the conference, some changes are very obvious.

The most obvious point is that many songs that were originally banned have begun to be played on the school’s loudspeakers.

A large number of people began to have their reputations restored, including many famous founding fathers, and memorial services were held in the capital.

But these are too far away from Li Changhe.

What really made Li Changhe notice was that in December, the weather gradually turned colder and the students in school began to wear thick clothes.

This year's thick clothes are no longer just big cotton-padded jackets. Some students boldly wore their old overcoats, while others wore Ken Takakura's version of windbreakers in school and even on the streets.

Some couldn't afford the full set, so they only bought a windbreaker, wrapped themselves in the windbreaker, and wore cotton trousers and cloth shoes underneath.

But even if you are dressed so mismatched, as long as you wear this outfit and walk on the street, you will be the most handsome guy, no matter whether you are beautiful or ugly.

At this time, no one cared about whether they wore the same clothes or not. After all, before this, everyone wore the same clothes and wore the same clothes every day.

Li Changhe was not in a hurry to go to school as he was busy taking exams.

The end of December is the end of their second semester, and for Peking University students, busy preparations for exams have already begun.

They added more courses this year, and Li Changhe's time was spread out, so it wasn't as easy as last year.

So before the exam, Li Changhe also had to study hard.

Fortunately, I don’t know if it’s a benefit of time travel, but Li Changhe’s memory and comprehension are very good now.

Even the most difficult advanced mathematics was enough for him to catch up after working hard for a few days.

Time passed quickly and it was January 1979. Facing the howling cold wind, Li Changhe and his classmates finished the exam.

After the exam, the results came out very quickly and no one in Li Changhe's grade failed.

Even Deng Yingtao, who often skipped classes, managed to get above the passing score in every course.

In the dormitory, Li Changhe was distributing money. Of course, he was not distributing money, but many classmates were borrowing his mutual aid fund.

After the test results are out, the next step is to go home and celebrate the New Year.

Schools like Peking University will communicate with the railway department in advance and set up ticket purchasing points at the school to facilitate students to buy tickets in groups.

So most of Li Changhe's classmates chose to go home for the New Year, and if you go home for the New Year, you have to bring something back from Beijing.

This is also the reason why Li Changhe is distributing money in the dormitory now. When he goes home for the New Year, more classmates come to borrow money.

Regardless of the price, it would be nice to spend a few dollars to buy some snacks from Beijing and bring them back.

"Changhe, I wish you a happy new year in advance!"

"Brother, I'm leaving now. See you after the Spring Festival."

"Okay, have a nice trip."

"Let's go, be safe on the road."

Li Changhe was in the dormitory, waving to his classmates who came to say goodbye.

Some people are not short of money, but before leaving, they will also tell Li Changhe that they are coming to the dormitory.

"Damn it, I think Liu Wei must be jealous in the dormitory right now. He is a squad leader but he is not as glorious as Chang He."

Yi Gang, who was sleeping in the lower bunk, smiled and joked to Li Changhe.

"There's nothing I can do about it, I'm envious. Let alone Liu Wei, there aren't many people like him in the whole Peking University."

"But this is what Changhe deserves. This is what they say, 'Peaches and plums do not speak, but they attract people.'"

"Changhe's good relationships with people are all earned through his actions."

Lao Tao said with a smile while sitting on the upper bunk.

"I think both of you are missing the point."

Seeing that no one came, Li Changhe continued with a smile.

"Huh? What do you say?"

"In fact, you have overlooked the most important point!"

"Which point?"

Yi Gang asked Li Changhe curiously.

"Of course our old Li is the best looking one!"

"Then you still need to ask?"

"As a famous young man in Peking University, isn't it natural for me to be popular?"

"Let me tell you, when I was an educated youth in the countryside, matchmakers from all over the country would come to our dormitory to try to find a date."

Li Changhe was bragging about himself at this time.

At this time, Lao Tao on the upper bunk leaned out and looked at Yi Gang below.

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Cut him!"

The two men cooperated tacitly, one dropped from the sky, and the other pounced from the side, and then pressed Li Changhe up.

After a fight, the bedding that Li Changhe had tidied up was messed up again, and Li Changhe's hair was also messed up.

"Damn, you guys are just jealous."

Li Changhe returned home with his bedding. He will have four weeks of winter vacation, just after the Lantern Festival.

When Li Changhe returned home, he looked at the time and saw that it was still early. He was bored at home, so he decided to go to Zhuxinzhuang.

His wife is probably on vacation these few days, and he has nothing to do at home anyway, so he goes over to see if there is anything he needs to bring back in advance.

Of course, it was so cold today and Li Changhe didn't want to ride a bicycle anymore. It was more comfortable to take the bus.

But since he was going to the Film Academy, Li Changhe thought about it and changed his clothes.

Li Changhe took out the windbreaker, straight pants, and leather shoes and put them on. He looked completely different in an instant.

Li Changhe did not wear a cotton jacket underneath, but instead changed into a cashmere sweater, which was both warm and light.

Apart from being a bit expensive, there are no other disadvantages. After all, cashmere sweaters are foreign exchange earning products these days.

Since the Renli Hemp Textile Factory in Beijing cracked the cashmere technology and created the Xuelian brand in 64, this high-end clothing has been mainly exported.

Li Changhe doesn't usually dress like this at school. It's too high-profile. A cashmere sweater is equivalent to other people's living expenses for a year.

But now we are going to Zhuxinzhuang. Those directors and photographers are all about being at the forefront of the aesthetics of the times.

After changing his clothes and looking at himself in the mirror, Li Changhe wrapped a scarf around himself, which was both windproof and handsome.

Sure enough, when Li Changhe got on the bus wearing this outfit, this stunning outfit frequently attracted the attention of other passengers on the bus.

Some people even discussed in low voices whether Li Changhe was a foreign Chinese.

After all, there are still some overseas Chinese students in the schools in Haidian, and they all dress very fashionably.

Li Changhe didn't say anything. He waited until he arrived at the gate of Beijing Film Academy Zhuxinzhuang School and walked straight in.

Nowadays, you can enter and exit universities freely, including Peking University. The security department at the gate will not stop you, and will even give you directions if you ask for them.

To be honest, this was the first time that Li Changhe had properly visited the Zhuxinzhuang campus of Beijing Film Academy.

Then after walking a few steps, I met an old acquaintance, Zhang Yimou!
　I would like to thank several big guys from J Xiaose and You Have Heartache in the World Design Department for the rewards. I bow my head in gratitude!
