Applying for a pass is a very troublesome matter. It requires three procedures: political review by the unit, verification by the police station, and issuance of the pass by the public security bureau.
It's even more difficult for those without a work unit; they need to be reviewed by the neighborhood committee. They also need to check their files to see if they've made any political mistakes. If you're in the countryside, you'll need at least four or five official seals, from the village to the township to the county level, and often you need connections.
It was for this reason that the companion Zhang Chunlei had found gave up and decided not to go to Shenzhen.
Zhang Chunlei's father is very influential in Dalingshan Township, but Zhang Chunlei himself has a not-so-good reputation.
Because he has no job, he needs a certificate from the village to apply for a pass to Shenzhen, then go to the township police station for verification, and finally go to the public security bureau to apply for a certificate.
Not to mention going to the police station, he didn't even get a certificate from the village, saying that he was an unpredictable factor.
To put it simply, this guy is a troublemaker and it's not safe to go to Shenzhen, so it's better for him to stay at home.
This shows what kind of things this guy did in Daling Mountain that angered heaven and man.
This guy's border pass was ruined, but Wan Feng felt relieved. Finally, he didn't have to worry about bringing such a troublemaker with him.
There is a small station here in Dalingshan. There is a train from Guangzhou to Shenzhen in the evening, and Wan Feng and his group boarded this train.
The border pass was checked when we boarded the train. When the train arrived at Zhangmutou Station, it stopped for a long time because some border armed police soldiers boarded the train to check the border pass again.
Wan Feng had already obtained the border pass when he was in Hongya, so they were not afraid of inspection.
But the prerequisite is that these documents will be kept safely on your person. If they are stolen by pickpockets along the way, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
This checkpoint in Shenzhen was started in 1982 and completed in 1985.
The management line starts from Beizaijiao on the shore of Dapeng Bay in the east and ends at Anle Village in Nantou on the shore of the Pearl River Estuary in the west. It is 85 kilometers long and has special zone checkpoints set up at six highway entrances: Nantou, Shawan, Buji, Baimang, Yantian and Beizaijiao.
This 85-kilometer-long management line consisting of 2.8-meter barbed wire divided Shenzhen at that time into two worlds, commonly known as inside and outside the customs.
The area inside the Great Wall was known at the time as the capitalist world.
Although the media publicizes the bad things about capitalism every day, countless people are still yearning for capitalist life, and there is an endless stream of people coming to Shenzhen to try their luck every day.
It is said that a tycoon named Pan did not have a pass, so he paid 50 yuan to find a snakehead to sneak through a hole under the barbed wire.
The dividing line of the Second Line Pass not only separated the fields and villages, but also separated the wealth. "I would rather have a bed inside the pass than an apartment outside the pass" was a true portrayal of the areas inside and outside the pass in Shenzhen at that time.
The income, environment and education in the interior of the country are more than one level higher than those outside the country.
Take running a red light for example. Inside the border, you will be fined 200 yuan, but outside the border, 50 yuan is enough.
Therefore, there are tens of thousands of people wandering outside the customs every day, and migrant workers can be seen lying and sleeping everywhere.
After checking the border pass, the train continued its journey and finally stopped at Luohu Station.
Although there were already many high-rise buildings in Luohu at that time, there were still more low houses. The high-rise buildings competed with the thatched houses, and it was in the transition between the old and the new.
Wan Feng and his group boarded the train at 7pm and arrived in Shenzhen at 9:30pm.
It took more than two hours to walk the 80-kilometer distance.
They found a small hotel to stay in. Because they didn't know the security situation in Shenzhen at night, they just stayed there and didn't dare to wander around.
After waking up at dawn, Wan Feng and Han Guangjia were the first two people to get up.
When the two of them finished washing up and returned to the room to exercise, Xu Bin and other lazy people woke up with sleepy eyes.
Today is March 20th.
They left Hongya on the 10th and it took them ten days to walk along the way.
There are still eight days before the official opening of Huaqiangbei Electronics Market, and Wan Feng plans to use these eight days to take a good look at Shenzhen.
Can you go to Xianggang to have a look?
The 1980s was the heyday of Hunan and Hong Kong, with lights and wine everywhere, making it a paradise longed for by countless Chinese people.
Wan Feng didn't regard Xianggang as a paradise.
Because he had experienced the period when Xianggang was backward and witnessed that China's first-tier coastal cities surpassed Xianggang in just 20 to 30 years, he no longer had any admiration for Xianggang in his bones.
The reason I wanted to go over and take a look was just a little curiosity.
But when I thought about how troublesome it would be to go and check out the customs procedures, I immediately gave up the idea.
Since their purpose of coming here is Huaqiangbei, it would not be a bad idea for them to go to Huaqiangbei first to take a look and understand the situation.
After having breakfast at a stall near the hotel, the group of six took the bus to Huaqiangbei.
Although Huaqiangbei was located on Huaqiangbei Road at that time, this industrial zone was not yet called Huaqiangbei, but Shangbu Electronic Industrial Zone. Construction started in 1986.
From Luohu District where Wan Feng and his friends were staying, walk west for about twelve or thirteen miles to reach Shangbu Electronic Industrial Zone.
The area starting from Shangbu Road in the east, extending to Shennan Road in the south, and from Huafu Road to Hongli Road in the west was the Shangbu Industrial Zone at that time, and Huaqiang North Road was a street in the middle and west of this industrial zone.
Although there were many buildings in the Shangbu Industrial Zone at that time, they were all old-style residential buildings with six or seven stories high. Colorful clothes were fluttering on the balconies of almost every house, giving people a feeling of chaos.
There are many small vendors selling vegetables and fruits on both sides of the street downstairs, which further deepens the feeling of chaos.
At this time, the Shangbu Industrial Zone was not as prosperous as the outside world said, and it was facing transformation.
By the 1990s, the area was in a state of depression. Large areas of factories were idle and many workers left, leaving the area in the midst of a second entrepreneurial storm.
The Ministry of Commerce invested nearly 100 million yuan to renovate Huaqiang North Road. Huaqiang North has thus completely replaced the name of Shangbu and become a business card representing the development of China's electronics industry internationally. Huaqiang North has also become a world-famous electronics commercial street.
The intersection of Huaqiang North Road and Shennan Road is the earliest electronics market.
When Shenzhen residents think of shopping, the first place that comes to mind is Huaqiangbei. When friends come to see the cityscape of Shenzhen, their first stop is usually Huaqiangbei.
My first mobile phone watch and my first date were both in Huaqiangbei.
However, when Wan Feng was walking on Huaqiangbei Street, Huaqiangbei was far from being so famous.
The origin of Huaqiang North Road is naturally related to the Huaqiang Electronic Industrial Company which was established here in the late 1970s.
In September 1979, three third-line factories in the mountainous area of northern Guangdong moved to Shenzhen and established Shenzhen Huaqiang Electronic Industrial Company.
Huaqiang Road was born.
