100-word high school sample essay on the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up

Chapter 1

With forty years of reform and opening up, and forty years of changes in world affairs, the silk capital Shengze is like a mirror, reflecting the style of the times. Earth-shaking changes and developments that keep pace with the times have excited the people of Silk City. As a nearly 60-year-old, I have truly experienced and felt that it was reform and opening up that made the people of Silk City economically prosperous and live a happy life.

From black and white TV to smart phones

When I was a child, Shengze’s TV theater (called the Grand Theater at the time), in my vague memory, was so large and powerful. Ang, it was considered first-class in the Jiangnan town at that time. In that era when entertainment was scarce, movies were really rare. Watching a movie with my father once in a while was a great entertainment experience.

In the early 1980s, television was not yet popular, and ordinary families rarely owned televisions. We had to eat dinner early and go to nearby schools and factories to grab seats. Sometimes we arrived late, so we had to squeeze in. The last few rows. Although I couldn't hear the sound clearly, I watched it with gusto and never tired of it.

After a few years, our family conditions improved, and we finally got our first TV. Although it was just a very ordinary 14-inch black and white TV, we were already very excited. Every day, the whole family always happily watches TV programs. The TV set is more than ten years old and has been reluctant to replace it. In 1998, our home was replaced with a 29-inch Philips color TV. Now a 60-inch high-definition LCD TV has also been moved into our ordinary homes, making us feel like we have stepped into high-definition*.

The 14-inch black and white TV that has been with us for many years is still missed very much. It was brought from Shanghai by an aunt from Shanghai after all the troubles. It is like a history book, recording the changes of the times and engraved with the imprint of the times. Thinking of it reminds me of my youth and is full of emotions. Nowadays, every time I sit in a bright living room and watch TV, I think about the changes in the past forty years, and think about their yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is a witness to history and a microcosm of the times.

With the advent of the information age, television has long lost its glory. Nowadays, relatives, friends, and classmates have all set up WeChat groups, joking, talking about the past and present in the virtual space, speaking freely, and everyone enjoys talking and laughing about life. Facts have proved that although we are nearly 60 years old, we still keep pace with the times, keep up with the pace of the times, and enjoy the happiness of life.

The three-level leap of "worry, possession, and excellence"

How many years and how many people have worked hard for the dream of "housing", from the initial welfare housing, housing reform housing, to People have relentlessly pursued commercial housing and property-rights housing under market economy conditions, improving their living conditions. Changes in the living environment have continuously improved people's quality of life.

In the past 40 years, my own housing has completed a three-level jump of "worrying, affordability, and excellence". It is precisely because of this replacement experience that my lifelong dream of living has become a reality.

In the early 1970s, six parents, brothers and sisters were crowded into a rental house with an area of ??only more than 20 square meters. There is only half a bedroom for a family of six, which makes daily life very inconvenient. As the children grew up, they felt helpless. The father asked someone to buy wood and built a small attic in the middle of the house, so he could barely live a "worried home" life.

Such days lasted for more than ten years. Until 1987, when I was 28 years old, I was always worried about my wedding room. At that time, it was not easy to wait for the unit to allocate a house. In order to be assigned a house to get married, I almost crossed the threshold of the factory management department. Fortunately, according to seniority, I was soon assigned a wedding room with one bedroom, one living room, and a kitchen and bathroom. Although it was only about 40 square meters, it finally solved a major life event. In 1993, in accordance with the housing reform policy, I spent another 20,000 yuan to buy this house. Only then did I have my first house in the true sense, and I became a property owner. This was the first time I had a home in my life. Jump again.

After many years, the house where I lived for more than ten years became an old house, and my daughter gradually grew up. Finally, I took out all my savings and pieced together a house with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two living rooms. The new house with a bathroom has increased the living area and improved the living environment. It can be said that it has given me the enjoyment of "preferential accommodation" in my later years.

The road to happiness is achieved through struggle. After 40 years of reform and opening up, I have witnessed the progress of the times and the great changes in economic development. I am proud of my motherland.

Chapter 2

"The 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up" in My Eyes

Reform and opening up is a policy that China started to implement at the xx Plenary Session of the xx session in December 1978. policies of internal reform and opening up to the outside world. China's domestic reform first started in rural areas. In November 1978, Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, implemented the household contract responsibility system (large contract responsibility system) that "distributes farmland to each household and is responsible for its own profits and losses", which opened the door for China's This is the beginning of internal reform, a major reform of state-owned enterprises - independent management rights and independent market regulation.

Reform and opening up initially started in our hometown, Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province. If reform and opening up can be called a prairie fire, then Anhui has been the source of sparks from the very beginning. , thus Anhui Province’s reform and opening up can be called one of the most significant cases.

As a person born in the 1990s, when I was born, reform and opening up was in full swing. I will take you to take a look at reform and opening up in the eyes of our generation.

When it comes to the most obvious impact of reform and opening up on us, it is the various impacts on our daily necessities of life. Now when it comes to the "three big things", many students probably don't know what they are talking about. However, in the period when our country had not yet carried out reform and opening up, the "three big things" were indispensable or extra for our grandparents' generation. A precious gift. I remember my grandmother telling me that the three big things they had at that time were actually tokens of love for both parties when they got married. In the 1950s and 1960s, our country was in desperate need of development. The three major items were "watches, bicycles, and radios." In modern life, we must not be able to imagine that the tokens of love for marriage are just such simple and cheap small industrial items. products. But in that era that had not yet experienced reform and opening up, these items seemed to be very "valuable and luxurious" items. Even at that time, not all families could easily afford it.

From my perspective, the time dimension spans to the 1980s and 1990s, when reform and opening up was in full swing. The so-called three major events also underwent qualitative changes as reform and opening up progressed. With the changes, the "refrigerator, color TV, and washing machine" that are necessary for parents of our generation to get married have become a must-have for parents of this era. Going south, a large number of aspiring young people go south to find opportunities that suit them and contribute to the country's reform and opening up. The reform and opening up affected our parents' generation not only in the life-level culture, but also in the cultural level. People of that generation were keen on watching movies, which was a fashion at that time. Passionate about disco, this form of music was a trend for them. Many well-known domestic directors and actors also became famous at that time, such as Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Lou Ye, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, etc. While the economy is developing rapidly, cultural innovation has never stopped.

Looking back to us in modern times. Nowadays, the three major items that were fashionable in those days have long since ceased to exist, replaced by modern consumer values. Those three major items in the early years have almost become standard equipment in the family. At the same time, due to the power of reform and opening up, the three major items have become more popular. What started out as a "foreign car and watch" for large items has become a high-quality, low-price, and reliable product made in China around us! To borrow a passage from a famous artist's speech at New York University, "The new generation is the most important group of people in the world, because our opportunities are yes, and our country is becoming more and more important internationally. One day, China will become the world To become an influential country, it depends on the efforts of our generation. The creativity of the younger generation will be China’s great wealth in the next few decades. Doing something for China means doing something for the entire world.”

Chapter 3

It is human nature to have dreams. From ancient times to modern times, from the steam engine era to the electrification era, and then to the information age, the development process of human society is also the process of pursuing dreams.

Forty years ago today, for every Chinese, electric lights, telephones, and living upstairs and downstairs were the pursuit of dreams. Today, big color TVs, big refrigerators, and big houses are no longer mysterious topics for people. More and more computers, cars, and small villas will be owned by individuals, and living standards will improve every year. Today, home appliances are constantly upgrading and changing from scratch, from shortage to popularity, witnessing the rapid development of the economy and society. The earth-shaking changes in development and people's lives reflect from one side the historical process of reform and opening up, a magnificent and great practice.

Remember the saying: Think about something every day and dream about it at night. The so-called dream is the combination of expectation and reality. The era we live in is an era where dreams come true. Maybe the expectations we had five, ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years ago will not take five, ten, twenty, or thirty years. , will slowly transform into reality in forty years, entering thousands of households and walking into our side. We belong to a lucky generation. Our generation is the witness and beneficiary of the great historical achievements of the motherland, because we are fortunate to witness the pace of the times when the dual dreams of the motherland and individuals are integrated and realized.

Our generation has all experienced the process of reform in the motherland. We are all witnesses and beneficiaries of the reform and opening up of the motherland. It can be said that the feelings are the most genuine, the affection is the deepest, and the understanding is the deepest. In 1978, with the convening of the XX Plenary Session of the Party, China's economy began to transform from a planned economy to a market economy. The imprint of the planned economy still remains in my mind, such as food stamps, oil stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps, etc. I have been fortunate enough to see match tickets and other products that have strong characteristics of the planned economy. It was popular at that time that even if you had money, you might not be able to buy goods. However, the people did not have money. They had one-third of an acre of land and had no other income. However, parents always look forward to the day when the market will be liberalized and purchases will no longer be bound by receipts.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, the shadow of the planned economy had disappeared, the atmosphere of the market economy gradually prevailed, and the products in the stores became increasingly abundant, but shopping was still based on "tickets", but at this time the "tickets" "It's no longer those colorful food stamps and oil stamps, but real banknotes.

But generally speaking, it is still relatively backward. I remember that if someone had a TV at that time, it would be like playing it every day. Sometimes dozens of people would gather around a 14-inch black and white TV and enjoy watching "Phoenix" "Brand bicycles were also a symbol of people showing off at that time.

I remember that my family lived in an adobe house at that time, and the family could not even solve the problem of food and clothing. A family of three squeezed into a 30-square-meter bungalow. In addition to a 19-inch TV, there were only a set of simple wooden sofas, two chairs, a writing desk and a stove for heating and cooking. There are no other valuable possessions. As time goes by, the hidden problems of the house are gradually exposed. When it rains, the dirty house will rain heavily outside and drizzle inside. It is not enough to have pots and pans floating around. It is subject to "wind and rain". "Threatened, I dreamed that one day I would live in a unit building with large bright windows, a spacious living room, a bedroom, and a study room. This life would be enough!

Time flies like water, and time flies like a shuttle. In the mid-to-late 1980s, China had embarked on the fast lane of economic development, and earth-shaking changes had taken place in the motherland. Unknowingly, in 1978, our party held the xx Plenary Session of xx with great historical significance, ushering in a new historical period of reform and opening up; in 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping gave a speech during his southern tour, and the spring breeze of reform once again sounded the clarion call across the country. ; Experienced the prosperous era of China when Hong Kong successfully returned to the embrace of the motherland in 1997; experienced the return of Macao in 1999, and the motherland took another gratifying step in the cause of reunification; experienced China's successful bid for the Olympic Games in 2001, and the motherland celebrated with joy Exciting scenes; experienced the exciting moments of the launch and successful return of the Shenzhou 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 manned spacecraft; experienced the Chang'e 1 and 2 lunar exploration satellites Successfully launched, the Shenzhou series spacecraft achieved major breakthroughs in launches, space extravehicular activities, and space science experiments. In particular, the smooth manned rendezvous and docking between the Tiangong-1 target aircraft and the Shenzhou 9 and 10 spacecraft marked the beginning of my country's manned spaceflight project. The second step of the strategic goal has made decisive progress. The petaflop supercomputer system "Tianhe-1" was successfully developed, the manned submersible "Jiaolong" set a diving record of 7062 meters, and the 100-acre super hybrid The yield per mu of the rice test field exceeded 900 kilograms, marking decisive and important progress in the second strategic goal of my country's manned space program, marking the continuous strengthening of comprehensive national strength, and marking that the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is gradually becoming a reality. ; China's standard EMU "Fuxing" made its debut; before that, Shenzhou 11 and Tiangong 2 were successfully launched; the domestic large aircraft C919 made its first flight; China's first X-ray astronomy satellite "Huiyan" was successfully launched; "Mozi" The "Sunway" quantum science experimental satellite was the first in the world to achieve thousand-kilometer-level quantum entanglement; the "Sunway TaihuLight" supercomputer continued to win the world's supercomputing championship... A series of "blowout" scientific and technological innovation achievements have exploded, witnessing the society with Chinese characteristics The cause of socialism is flourishing, the Chinese people are becoming prosperous, and the Chinese nation will surely become stronger.

With the continuous deepening of reform and opening up and the development of the economy, we have gone from living in bungalows to living in high-rise unit buildings, and from being unproductive to having property; diversified catering, high-end clothing, electrification of homes, and mechanization of going out have become Daily rhythm. Ganzhou District of Zhangye City, where I am located, has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The appearance of the city is changing with each passing day. New high-rise buildings are rising one after another. They are lined up one after another. The roads are wider, there are more trees, and the city is more beautiful. Especially on December 31, 2008, the Binhe New Area, one of the Heihe Wetland Protection Projects in Zhangye, was announced to be under construction. The Heihe Wetland Protection Project kicked off. In the past, the area was covered with pebbles, barren of grass, graves, and riddled with holes and ravines. The garbage pool in the wasteland is now as beautiful as a picture scroll with clear water. Clear water, blue sky, green grass, birds and tourists are using silent words to describe the bright future of the Zhangye Wetland Protection Project. Nowadays, when walking into the Binhe New Area, two thousand acres of lakes are rippling with blue waves, the lake water reflects the blue sky, the sky and water are the same color, the distant mountains are long, and the forest belts are tangled. They cleverly use the Qilian Mountain wind and the water charm of the Heihe River to enter the city, adding a natural "humidifier" to the old city. and "Oxygen Bar", and blends with the old city style, fully demonstrating the urban personality charm of a historical and cultural city combined with a wetland ecological city. Standing in the Binhu Square and looking out from afar, the beautiful Binhe New Area seems like a long stretched landscape scroll, with carved beams and painted columns, antique style; winding corridors, small bridges and flowing water; they are harmonious and harmonious, reflecting the scenery... In just a few years, The great changes in the appearance of Binhe New District are amazing, and my dream wish has finally come true. Over the past 40 years, my working environment has changed. I was selected from the township government to the district government department, and my salary has increased dozens of times from less than 100 yuan 40 years ago. As my income continued to increase, I bought a building with three bedrooms and two living rooms of more than 90 square meters. This is exactly the kind of home I dreamed of 40 years ago, with bright windows, a spacious living room, comfortable bedrooms, and a study room. At the same time, as incomes increase and quality of life improves, home furnishings have also undergone greater changes: color TVs, refrigerators, computers, telephones, mobile phones, induction cookers, and solar water heaters are all available.

Looking back on the past and looking back on the present, I am filled with emotions. I think that the change in my house from a bungalow to a building, from more than 30 square meters to more than 90 square meters, is not a true reflection of the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in my hometown and motherland since the reform and opening up.

I am lucky because I was born in this era of dream chasing and can quickly transform dreams into reality. At the same time, I am fortunate to witness the development of history. Everyone will have dreams, but Not all dreams can come true, but I feel very proud to be in this era. It is the development of the times that has given me the opportunity to make my dreams come true, and it is dreams that promote the development of the times. Life is not scary. What is scary is not having dreams. Now I still have a dream. I dream that the "Income Doubling Plan" will gradually be implemented, so that all Chinese people can realize their "housing dream" and live in spacious and comfortable houses. Become better and truly realize the "Chinese Dream".

40 years have passed since the glorious years passed. In the past 40 years, the land of China has undergone tremendous changes. In 2018, we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. Now society is advocating harmony, harmony between urban and rural areas, harmony between people, harmony between people and nature, etc. Harmony highlights the development of society and summarizes the development results of China's 40 years of reform and opening up. Harmony is more It shows the characteristics of the times, openness and enlightenment. Looking around the world and at home, we can see the tremendous changes in the past 40 years of reform and opening up everywhere. Industry, agriculture, transportation, national defense, education, people's lives, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all showing charming splendor. Let us under the correct leadership of the great Communist Party of China, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely come. realized in the process of reform and opening up.
