Chapter 260 Best Assistant Qian Gaoyun
Xie Yun, overwhelmed by her busy schedule, found time to write another article detailing this women's mutual aid. She didn't specify who donated how much, but emphasized that women from all walks of life lent a helping hand, donating money to the best of their ability based on their own circumstances to help their suffering compatriots.
They want women all over the world to know that if you find yourself in trouble, don't be afraid, don't worry, and boldly seek help. Behind you are millions of ordinary people and millions of women.
Before leaving Eastern Province, Xia Shijie read the article and lamented to Secretary Wang, "Xiao Xie is really good at creating an atmosphere. I wonder what she's going to do next."
Secretary Wang thought for a moment and said, "She's very good at allocating resources. There should be others involved, not just her."
As it turned out, Wang Zhensheng knew Xie Yun very well.
After publishing the article, Xie Yun contacted Qian Gaoyun again and asked her, "Can you express your support for the women's movement in the newspaper?"
“Yes!”
Qian Gaoyun not only expressed her stance herself, but she also persuaded others to do the same. In the Yanbei Military Sub-district where she served, Qian Gaoyun campaigned extensively, mobilizing a group of military wives to join her in the movement. The wives then mobilized their husbands, and ultimately, the Yanbei Military Sub-district officially declared its stance: "The Yanbei Military Sub-district supports the women's liberation movement, gender equality, and freedom of marriage, and firmly opposes any form of arranged or commercial marriage."
The note was handwritten by the military sub-district commander, signed with his name and the name of the military sub-district political commissar.
This note was used as an illustration for Qian Gaoyun's article.
Xiao Qian is a celebrity now, and the articles she published have a great influence.
Moreover, the commander of the Yanbei Military Sub-district was also very smart. After he expressed his position, he pulled other brother units to express their positions together. He could not be the only one to take the limelight.
As soon as Liu Chengjun's father saw the operation of the Yanbei Military Sub-district, he reported it directly to the Beijing Military Region. In the end, many troops wrote such notes and submitted them to the All-China Women's Federation. The Women's Federation then published an article and used all these notes as illustrations to demonstrate the country's determination to support women's liberation.
Along with the article, there is also the famous "March 8th Women's Day Song", reminding everyone not to forget this song:
The glaciers thaw in spring and all things come back to life in spring.
Oppressed women all over the world shouted out their cry for freedom on March 8th!
From now on, we will break the cage that destroys people together.
Suffering makes us more determined, and the ladies of the past become heroes of the new era.
We are like sparks, like dynamite, bright as the sun in the sky.
…
It's unclear how much actual support the troops can provide, but the hype is impressive. For a time, parents nationwide who wanted to sell their daughters for betrothal gifts stopped, as did those who wanted to buy wives to take home as slaves.
Now we need to focus our efforts on resolving the problems left over from before and resettle the rescued women.
Once this momentum was established, things actually became easier. Many women comrades figured it out on their own, and localities reorganized "Women's Rescue Associations." However, this time, the association's primary mission was no longer to save the country from danger, but to save themselves.

The provincial funding for the food factory arrived quickly.
Based on the food factory construction feasibility report submitted by Xie Yun, the Provincial Planning Institute provided the overall planning and design of the factory, as well as the planning of supporting facilities such as water and electricity.
In the early days, the food factory mainly produced two products, crackers and instant noodles.
The task that fell on Xie Yun and his team was to design and manufacture the biscuit production line and instant noodle production line.
Design is easy, but manufacturing is difficult.
Xie Yun and Pan Changqing drew detailed drawings, including the specific requirements for each part. The total thickness of the drawings was almost as thick as a book.
She believed that the machinery factory could make the product according to this instruction manual.
Xie Yun, Pan Changqing and others discussed it repeatedly several times, and after making sure there were no problems, they placed an order with the First Machinery Factory of East Province.
She went there in person, took the approval document from the provincial party committee to the food factory, found Director Tang of the machinery factory, and handed him the product production manual.
Director Tang was so engrossed in reading the manual that he forgot about Xie Yun's existence.
His secretary Xiao Zhao felt very sorry and had to refill Xie Yun's tea again and again.
Xie Yun couldn't stand it any longer and asked him, "Where is the toilet?"
Xiao Zhao: “…”

Xie Yun came back from the restroom and interrupted Director Tang, who was absorbed in his work, and asked, "How long will it take for our factory to produce it?"
Director Tang put down the manual and said, "Luckily you brought your own manual with you, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to produce it. We've never done this before. Now, we'll work overtime for six months. We can produce the machine according to your requirements in half a year. Looking across the entire East Province, only our First Machinery Factory has the ability to do this. After all, your product is new, too new, and very complex, integrating various functions. Even the slightest problem in any link will not work. Our engineers and technicians must first thoroughly understand the information you provided."
Xie Yun nodded. "I understand. That's why I didn't look for anyone else but came straight to you. Let me tell you, it's definitely not just our food factory that will need this kind of machine in the future. Other places will need it too. Our machinery factory has opened up a new production area."
"So, we can produce it and sell it to other places in need in the future?"
Xie Yun said, "Of course. We're doing research for the country. You're a state-owned factory here, so if we give you our research, it's like giving it to the country. There's no difference. Feel free to use it. And as for the price, please give us a discount."
Director Tang said, "Why would you call it cheap? I'll just give it to you. If our factory had developed something like this, we'd still have to make a prototype and send it to the Ministry of Machinery Industry for acceptance. After I make it, I'll have the experts there come over for acceptance, and then I'll give it to you. Then we can actually start selling this product."
Xie Yun asked, "Will it be able to make it to the Autumn Canton Fair next year?"
Director Tang stood up immediately and said, "We must catch up!"
Hearing that foreigners like to eat biscuits and instant noodles, he must sell these two machines abroad to earn money from foreigners!
