How are the two girls who were printed on the fourth set of twenty-cent yuan in 1980 doing now?

The time machine rumbled past, leaving behind too much of the past. Time has changed, everything is changing, beauties have turned into bones, and good generals have been buried in the soil. People always say that "only the RMB is the strongest". However, even the banknotes we commonly use have also undergone great changes.

Our country issued a set of banknotes forty years ago. At that time, the "red ticket" was not one hundred yuan, but one yuan. At that time, there were still two-cent banknotes. The characters on our banknotes were all There are prototypes. For example, the prototype of the one-yuan note is called Shi Nai Yin, and the same is true for the two-cent note. These two girls have prototypes. How are they doing now?

Speaking of two-cent banknotes, many young people have never seen them before, especially those born after 2000. After all, it is difficult to see two-cent banknotes on the market today. Of course, Compared with today's prices, a two-cent banknote seems to be of little use. What's more, in today's era of online payment and scan-code payment, banknotes have become a burden, let alone a two-cent banknote?

The two-cent banknote back then was green, a bit like today's fifty-yuan banknote. It had the faces of two beautiful girls on it, namely Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi.

It all started in 1979. In order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of our country, the Central Ethnic Culture Palace prepared to hold an exhibition on ethnic work. Because the exhibition will involve various ethnic groups, some of them must be selected from each ethnic minority. Representatives served as commentators. At that time, Huang Qiping was the representative of the Tujia ethnic group, while Su Chunxi was the representative of the Korean ethnic group. The two girls, who were originally strangers from different parts of the world, got to know each other because they were chosen as the commentators.

One day, 104 representatives of ethnic minorities came to Beijing, where they will begin a four-year teaching career. By 1980, several special photographers came to the Cultural Palace. They were sent from banks. Among the many commentators, they selected four girls with outstanding image and temperament. Among them were Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi. Wear costumes with strong ethnic characteristics and take photos with the photographer.

Soon after, the faces of Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi appeared on the 1980 version of the two-cent RMB note.

A Tujia girl who is currently an inspector of the Agriculture Committee

Huang Qiping is a Tujia girl. She was born in Hunan in 1958. She started working after graduating from high school in 1975. After working for three years, She came to Beijing as a commentator at the age of nineteen and was in her prime.

She left Beijing and returned to Hunan in 1982 to serve on the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee. Until this time, she did not know that her face appeared on the two-cent banknote, only that her photo was on it. The picture album "Ethnic Groups of China" was published.

Until 1983, a person in charge of the Cultural Palace went on a business trip and passed through Hunan on the way, so he went to visit Huang Qiping and brought her a special gift, which was a brand new The 1980 version of the two-cent note had Huang Qiping's face on it. Only then did she realize that her face was on the two-cent note.

After returning to Hunan, Huang Qiping has been working for the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee. In 1993, she became the deputy director of the Personnel Department. Four years later, she became a full-time official. In 2002, she became an assistant inspector. . By 2005, she came to work in the Provincial Department of Agriculture and served as the leader of the Discipline Inspection Team. In 2008, she became the deputy director, and later became the inspector of the Provincial Agricultural Committee, where she continues to serve today.

As a "renminbi girl", Huang Qiping was once recognized as the prototype of the two-cent banknote, which attracted many reporters and media. Many businesses also wanted to hire her as an endorsement, but Huang Qiping rejected them all. , she said, it is already a great honor to have her profile picture listed on the RMB, and she does not want to have anything to do with profit.

Now she has a happy family, her husband is a northerner, and they have a son, who is already a sophomore.

Compared to Huang Qiping, Su Chunxi is a little younger. She was born in 1963. Like Huang Qiping, she was selected as a commentator together with 103 other girls from ethnic minorities. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was photographed. Climbed the RMB and became a RMB girl.

Like Huang Qiping, her work at the Palace of Culture was temporary and she was seconded. In 1981, she left the Palace of Culture, but she did not leave Beijing and was left to work at the Museum of Chinese Ethnology.

Later, she returned to her hometown to work for a few years. In 1985, she returned to school and studied at Minzu University of China and Peking University. After graduating from university, she returned to society. I work in a Korean company.

In 1989, she came to South Korea to work. After returning to China, she married her husband, who is a Hui. After her marriage, she jointly opened a foreign language training class with Peking University until today.

As one of the "RMB Girls", she also received an interview from a reporter. While chatting with the reporter, she talked about her experience that year. When her parents learned that she was selected as a Korean I was so happy when I was a representative. When I was working as a commentator in the Cultural Palace, the little girls were pursued by many boys because they were all outstanding. Su Chunxi was young at that time and didn't like to get along with others, so she read and studied in the library every day.

Unlike Huang Qiping, no one later recognized her as the girl on the two-cent note. After all, people change with age, and her family also thought about showing off, but She stopped them all and said, "To be honest, I don't want to say anything." Even her husband believed that his wife was once a "RMB girl." Like Huang Qiping, she now has a happy family.

It must be said that being selected as the "RMB Girl" is indeed not an easy task. First of all, at that time, "RMB girls" were selected from countless people. At most three or four young girls of cardamom age were selected from an ethnic minority. It was lucky to be able to catch up with this time; if you want to start from tens of thousands To stand out among hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, you also need to have good looks and extraordinary temperament. This is strength. It can be said that this matter is a matter of strength and luck.

Whether it was then or now, it is a great honor to be able to appear on the RMB. Think about it, what kind of people can appear on the RMB? How many people in the country's more than one billion people can get it? This honor. It is said that they did not receive any remuneration including benefits at that time, and people at that time did not care about these, they only thought it was an honor.

What is worthy of recognition is that neither Huang Qiping nor Su Chunxi is willing to show off this matter. They just don’t know that when two cents were still popular, they were using two cents. How do you feel?
