After the national anthem, the leader spoke according to the rules.
"The workers of the country should continue to stand at the forefront of reform, opening up and modernization, carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, actively explore and forge ahead, work hard, and make new contributions to the economic development of the motherland and the overall progress of society.
"Since last year, under the guidance of Comrade Mao Zedong's important speech on his inspection of the South and the spirit of the 14th National Congress of the Party, the enthusiasm of the vast number of cadres and the masses has been unprecedentedly high, and there has been a good momentum to speed up reform, opening up and modernization.
"Since the reform and opening up, the composition of China's social strata has undergone new changes. There have been entrepreneurs and technical personnel of private science and technology enterprises, management and technical personnel employed by foreign enterprises, self-employed individuals, private business owners, employees of intermediary organizations, freelancers, and other social strata.
"Moreover, many people frequently move between different ownerships, different industries, and different regions. People's occupations and identities are constantly changing.
"Under the guidance of the Party's line, principles and policies, the vast number of people in these new social strata have contributed to the development of the productive forces of socialist society and other undertakings through honest labor and work, and through legal management. They are united with workers, farmers, intellectuals, cadres, and the People's Liberation Army commanders and soldiers. They are also the builders of socialism with China's characteristics. "
Suddenly there were whispers in the hall.
Li He didn't know what the others had heard, but he seemed to understand, but he didn't quite understand.
During the meal, he didn't move his chopsticks much and just drank the water in his glass.
He wasn't the only one. Most people didn't move their chopsticks, not even their wine.
For the sake of their image, they didn't even care about their stomachs!
From time to time, Li He glanced at the big red flower tied with thin red silk on his chest, and then saw that everyone else was wearing it, so he didn't feel too awkward.
When the meal was almost over, he, like most people, waited for the leader to propose a toast.
"Your conditions are also first-class in the world. The great changes that have taken place are a microcosm of the development of China's private enterprises. It fully proves that reform and opening up is indeed the only way to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and we must continue unswervingly."
"Thank you for your concern, leader." Li He raised his glass and drank the wine in his glass.
There was another click. On this day, he took pictures of his life.
After the dinner, Li He followed the crowd out and kept hearing people talking about private enterprises. Most of them were whispers, and he didn't understand what they were discussing.
He was not in a hurry to get into the car. He smoked two cigarettes on the road under the bright neon lights. He still did not understand.
"He's here!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
Li He suddenly saw a group of people holding microphones and cameras walking towards him.
He was shocked and quickly hid in the car. He told Zhang Bing to leave quickly and forgot to ask the reporters for photos.
After returning home, He Fang saw that Li He was still sitting on the chair in a daze and did not go to take a shower. She asked, "Why are you in a daze? Go and take a shower."
Li He shook his head and said, "Nothing much."
"Nothing, why are you still in a daze?"
Li He thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell you. Give me your opinion."
In terms of awareness, he would never be able to catch up to He Fang.
"Tell me about it."
Li He roughly repeated the leader's speech that night and then said, "I've thought about it several times, but I still can't figure it out."
He Fang said in disbelief, "You really can't figure it out?"
Li He said impatiently, "If I could figure it out, would I be asking you!"
He felt that his intelligence was seriously insulted.
"Shh! Lower your voice. "He Fang slapped him angrily." Otherwise, Mom will think we're quarreling. Tell me, what's so hard to figure out? "
"Don't keep me in suspense. Just say it." Li He took the opportunity to light another cigarette. In order to think about this problem, his head was hurting.
He Fang asked, "Do you think there has been a self-employed or private business owner who has won the model worker or labor medal?"
"You mean I'm the first private business owner to win the May Day Labor Medal?" Li He felt that this joke was a bit too much.
He Fang was stunned. "You still don't know?"
"Who would think that way? I thought there were all kinds of industries." Li He finally came back to his senses. He thought about it carefully. Before him, there had never been a model worker or labor medal winner who came from a private business. But now, he had suddenly become the first private business owner in China to win the May Day Labor Medal. Thinking about it, it was quite cool.
He Fang rubbed her head and said helplessly, "I just don't understand. What are you thinking about all day long?"
Li He said embarrassedly, "Then continue."
He Fang said seriously, "And this is the first time. This is the first time that private business owners are defined as the builders of socialism with China's characteristics. Do you think there was such a saying in the past? This is equivalent to recognizing the six types of people, including private business owners, as builders of socialism. In fact, it is recognizing that they are also workers and should be treated equally and equally in politics. "
"Political equality." Li He felt enlightened. This was to give the private business, a new group of people, the right to speak. He was rich enough to rival a country, but why did he always feel wronged?
Because private business owners did not belong to the advanced class and did not contribute to labor productivity. In the party constitution, people like him were classified as "other revolutionaries" and not "advanced members of other social classes."
If it was another ten or twenty years, he would also have the opportunity to chat and laugh with many big shots.
As for now, it was a blessing to be able to win the May Day Labor Medal.
He Fang said with a smile, "With private business labor medal winners, there might be private people's deputies and party representatives in the future."
"Definitely, maybe they will even change the party constitution."
The first private business people's deputies were relatively early. As for private business party representatives, it was after the New Era.
The next morning, he specially bought a newspaper.
The headline on the front page was: "Several Opinions on Encouraging, Supporting and Guiding the Development of the Individual Private Economy and Other Non-Public Sectors."
It pointed out that the collective economy and non-public sectors should be vigorously developed and should not be restricted by the issue of proportion. Efforts should be made to find a form of public ownership that could greatly promote the development of productivity. All business methods and organizational forms that reflected the law of socialized production could be used boldly.
This was really a sudden clap of thunder.
Li He realized that he had unknowingly changed history.
At this moment, he did not know whether to be surprised or happy.
On the side page was his photo. He Fang also saw it and took a pair of scissors to cut it out for him.
Then she said, "I have a student working at the newspaper office. I will find the negatives for you tomorrow."
Li He did not refuse, "Okay, don't let them get to the door."
