"The past generations of reform and opening up are deeply nostalgic for the 1980s, which is my best youth. I am an active supporter of reform and opening up, an active participant in reform and opening up, and a beneficiary of reform and opening up."
In 1979, after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I was lucky enough to be admitted to Nanjing University and become a "new three" college student of reform and opening up. After graduating from university in 1983, I was lucky to come to Beijing business school to work until today. 37 years on, with a flick of his fingers. Looking back, I can see that this is the best time in my life, and also the best time in my country and my school.
The first teacher I met when I came to Beijing business school was Mr. Su Zhiping, then the director of the business and economics teaching and Research Office, and later the first president of Beijing University of technology and industry. Coincidentally, Mr. Su's wife, also named Su, is an editor of the journal, so our young teachers call them "male Su and female Su" behind their backs. My first job was as a teaching assistant to Mr. Wang Xiangqin. Mr. Wang was the deputy director of the office of Beijing business school at that time, and later became the last Dean of Beijing business school. It is also a coincidence that Mr. Wang graduated from the Department of history of Nanjing University as early as 20 years ago, and is the senior of my peers. Mr. Wang's wife, Mr. Zhang Shiqin, also works in our school. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Mr. Su are modest, gentle and elegant. They are not ordinary relatives to our young teachers. We are also teachers and friends. To this day, they still call me Xiaohu as they used to call me.
The teacher who benefited me most was Zhou Mingxing. I was in the same office with Zhou from the first day of work. What's more, Mr. Zhou graduated from Jinling University, the predecessor of Nanjing University, which is my alma mater in his early years. He is a mentor who has influenced my life. When I first met Mr. Zhou, I was a bit awed. He was thin but contained huge energy. His thin gray hair was carefully combed. Mr. Zhou was 67 years old at that time. It was no exception to appear in the office on time every day, which made me awed. In the later days, teacher Zhou treated me like a strict teacher and a loving father. He is full of learning, economy, integrity, self-respect, indifferent to fame and wealth, clean and self-improvement, only asking for cultivation, not seeking knowledge, strict self-discipline, leniency to others, treating others with sincerity, handling affairs with faith, willing to be a ladder of people, selfless dedication, as a teacher. He is very kind to our younger generation and teaches them attentively. I remember that in the first few years of my work, I accompanied his family to Anhui, Baoding, Chengde and other places to investigate. His words and deeds taught me a lot of things that I could not learn in class and books. Later, I moved with Mr. Zhou, and became a neighbor of "upstairs and downstairs". I went to Mr. Zhou's house for a short time almost every day to chat with him. Mr. Zhou, with his rich life experience and profound academic accomplishment, left a precious wealth for our later generations. It can be said that "a high school is a teacher and a good example". The years around Mr. Zhou are the happiest time of my life.
My first job when I came to Beijing business school was to pick up the undergraduate students at 9:30 p.m. on September 8, 1983. The first freshman I picked up was Li Shuyou from Shandong Province, along with his father. Like me, they also came to Beijing for the first time. When driver Liu Baoyu drove by Tian'anmen Gate in a jeep, I was also very excited to introduce the scenery on both sides of the square to Li Shuyou and his son. Li Shuyou, a graduate student, stayed at school and worked. We became colleagues again. Later, Li Shuyou became the vice president of the school of economics and became my leader.
My first few years of work were teaching Chinese business history with Professor Zhou Xingxing and Professor Wang Xiangqin. In the summer vacation of 1985, I accompanied Mr. Wang to a meeting in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Together with Professor Wu Hui, I prepared and established the China business history teaching and research society. The next year, it was renamed the China business history society. The Secretariat is located in Beijing business school. Mr. Wang Xiangqin served as the vice president and secretary general. I assisted Mr. Wang in his work, served as the deputy secretary general, and participated in editing the Journal of value and China General history of business (five volumes) (this book won the 13th Sun Yefang Economic Science Award).
The 1980s was a red era of vigorous reform and opening up in China, and I caught up with the best of times. In 1983, when I was just working for less than a month, the Central Rural Policy Research Office commissioned our school to carry out an investigation on the reform of the circulation system of agricultural products. Huang Guoxiong, then the deputy director of the Department of Commerce and economics, sent me to Jiashan County (now Mingguang City), Anhui Province, to play a front station. I immediately went to the Central Agricultural Research Office in Gennan street, xihuangcheng, Beijing, and found Duan Yingbi (later deputy director of the central finance office) and Cao Xiaoning, a graduate of Beijing business school. I opened a handwritten letter of introduction, and then hurried to Jiashan County. This trip can be described as "all the way green light, well arranged". I also took advantage of the National Day holiday to return to my hometown in Jiangsu, which made my parents overjoyed. After the national day, Mr. Huang Guoxiong led dozens of students and some teachers of Grade 80 business economics to Jiashan County and lived in the county government hostel. Zhou Mingxing, Liu Xiumin, Lan Ling, Chen zumian and other teachers also went to investigate together. During this period, I also accompanied Mr. Huang to Hefei and held discussions and exchanges with the general office of Anhui Province, the Department of Commerce, the Department of agriculture and other departments. At that time, we lived on the top floor of a humble hostel in Hefei. It rained heavily outside and tickled inside. The bedding was wet, but Mr. Huang had no complaints. Hungry at night, we eat a bowl of stinky tofu on the street. I was lucky to be able to follow Mr. Huang in the first social research. I learned too much from him. The reason why Professor Huang Guoxiong can become a major in the field of circulation is inseparable from his down-to-earth, diligent and studious life. He is worthy of being a pioneer in the research of business field after the reform and opening up in China.
Then in the spring of 1984, it was still entrusted by the Central Rural Policy Research Office, still led by Huang Guoxiong, still led by me. More than 130 teachers and students from three classes of Grade 80 in the Department of business and economics went to 10 counties in Baoding, Hebei Province to conduct rural professional market survey. Professor Zhou Xingxing also conducted research together. I accompanied him to Lixian, Gaoyang and other places for investigation. His article on professional households and professional markets was forwarded to the county government by the State Council, which provided theoretical and practical basis for promoting the development of professional markets in all parts of the country in the mid and late 1980s. I also led the students to the Anguo Chinese herbal medicine market, Baigou small commodity market and other places for research. The one month long social survey has formed the survey report collection of ten major rural markets in Baoding, which provides useful materials for the convening of the rural work conference in that year and the formulation of the first document in the second year, and has been affirmed and valued by the relevant departments of the central government.
In the spring and summer of 1985, entrusted by the Central Rural Policy Research Office, we went to Wuhan to investigate the reform of the circulation system of vegetables and agricultural and sideline products. This investigation was led by Professor Tong Wansheng. More than 130 teachers and students from the 81 level Department of business and economics rushed to Wuhan. We lived in a military hostel near the railway in Qiaokou District. I have forgotten how to contact the army at that time Of the hostel. During the investigation in Wuhan, Mr. Su Zhiping also specially came to visit us, which made us feel more cordial. At that time, Mr. Tong was the director of the price teaching and research office. He was no less serious than Mr. Huang Guoxiong. Often in the dark, teacher Tong wakes everyone up, rushes to the field of the suburban vegetable farmers and the early market of the street farmer market for investigation, and comes back in the evening to discuss and exchange, and sort out the investigation notes. After a full month of market research, we have gained a lot. After returning to Beijing, I assisted teacher Tong to revise and collate the Wuhan vegetable agricultural and sideline products circulation survey report set, which was affirmed and valued by the central leadership.
In the summer vacation of 1985, grade 81 students graduated. Mr. Huang Guoxiong sent me to lead Grade 82 business students to Wuxi, Jiangsu Province and Chengde, Hebei Province to investigate the circulation of vegetables, agricultural and sideline products. During 1983-1985, four large-scale social surveys on rural market and circulation of vegetables and agricultural by-products were commissioned by the central rural policy research office. Although my major in university is history, I only minor in some courses of Economics Department, and my understanding of economics is only superficial. But in the first few years after graduation, in addition to the normal teaching work, I spent a lot of time and energy on market research. With the words and deeds of teachers Zhou, Huang, Tong, Wang and Su, I was able to more contact with society, economy and market. In the "big classroom" of society and market, my knowledge of economics With great progress, the leaders and colleagues of the Department call me "investigation professional".
The past generations of reform and opening-up are deeply nostalgic for the 1980s, an era of ideological emancipation and academic freedom, an era of passion for young and old alike, and my best youth. I am an active supporter, participant and beneficiary of reform and opening up. Now, Professor Zhou Mingxing and Professor Huang Guoxiong, who have cultivated and educated me carefully, have gone west. I often think of them, just as I miss that era of freedom, which has long remained in my beautiful youth memory.

"I am full of passion and enthusiasm for reform and opening up, curiosity and interest in economic reform research, and an indissoluble bond with futures."
There is no through train for reform. After the low period of the late 1980s and the early 1990s, Deng Gong's "South Talk" in 1992 made China's economy like a spring breeze. We ushered in another spring of reform and opening up.
In the early days of reform and opening up in 1978, the rural areas promoted the "joint production contract responsibility system", and the agricultural products were implemented with "enough for the country, enough for the collective, and the rest for themselves". This is also the origin of the double track system of agricultural product price. In 1984, the focus of reform shifted from rural areas to urban areas, drawing on the successful experience of rural reform. Urban reform was basically carried out along two main lines: first, the reform of enterprises began to vigorously implement the contract system, and then the trial joint-stock system, which gave birth to the Chinese securities market; second, the price reform, which tried to implement agricultural products and industrial products
