What happened that year (3)

? Wang Huailin is the earliest film projectionist in our factory. I remember that at the beginning, we were showing small 16mm movies. Every time it was shown, he would pull the cables, connect the power supply, and hang the curtain. Just like in the TV series "Parental Love", the audience held small benches and occupied seats in the living area stadium early. In those days, when movies were shown in movie theaters, a "news bulletin" would be shown before the main film. Wang Huailin used slides to show the news, good people and good deeds in the factory over a period of time. I called it Luhua's "news briefing". ?

That era advocated multi-purpose skills and division of labor. No separation. The leaders care about us young people and often encourage us to learn more skills. Secretary Tao Yongjie encouraged me to learn photography, and Director Sun Zhaotang encouraged me to learn painting; but I failed in both. I saw that there were not enough people to show movies, so I wanted to learn how to show movies. Yabei and Yao Ping both showed movies. At that time, the movie was shown in the factory auditorium, and it was a 35mm landline phone. I didn’t have a screening permit and was afraid something might go wrong. Xu Jun and Yabei encouraged me and said, “It’s okay, we’ll watch.” Yabei also taught me step by step how to hang the film.

Let’s watch it while watching. The lingering and pathos arias of the Yue Opera "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the meandering Erhai Lake scenery in "Five Golden Flowers" are unforgettable for a long time. At that time, a film had to be released in several units at the same time, so Xu Jun drove his motorcycle back and forth to film. One time they showed the North Korean film "Flower Girl". Because it had to be filmed with other factories and mines, they showed it to the workers on the night shift. After the second show, it was already dawn...

I remember one time in When we talked with Secretary Tao Yongjie about the Jin Opera "Three Passes Banquet", we praised the Yang family generals for being loyal to generations and dying in battle. When Mrs. She's aria in the play was impassioned and soul-stirring, Secretary Tao said with regret, It would be even better if it was Peking Opera...

Xu Jun and Ma Zhigang are the youngest in the union. In addition to showing movies, they do a lot of maintenance work, and Xu Jun also takes care of it. Wearing photos.

We are very enthusiastic about work and full of confidence in life. Sister Zhang Huicong was also in the labor union at that time, and she was an accountant. She loves literature and art and was a key actor in the Luhua Literature and Art Propaganda Team. She organized and led us to have a fashion show. Due to low funds, we often make our own costumes. At that time, wages were low, and the lesbians in the union would all do some sewing. After work, we would buy pieces of fabric, learn from each other, cut clothes, and sew them ourselves.

We also love beauty. We'll get together and take a photo. Accountant Zhang is very serious and makes us pay for all the photos taken outside of work. Accountant Zhang brought us into contact with more beautiful things. Wang Huailin and my colleagues used their cameras to record the progress of Luhua and also left behind our young figures.

In 1987, I accepted a task to write a TV feature film that reflected the production and life of Luhua and reported it to superior leaders. At this time, a television station had been set up in the factory, with Niu Dangjun as the director.

One Sunday afternoon, I was writing a manuscript at home. It was time to cook. Unexpectedly, it was a broken egg among the fried eggs. As soon as it was put into the pan, there was a splash of oil, and a small piece of it spattered. Egg skin burst into my right eye. I ran to the water pipe and flushed it with clean water, but didn't take it seriously. But at night, my eyes were burning and painful. I thought bad, I have to work the morning shift tomorrow. At this time, there are only two people in the broadcast room: me and Baohua. The next day, I insisted on finishing the morning shift and asked my boss for leave to go for an eye exam. The ophthalmology department of the Workers' Hospital said it was inoperable and asked me to go to Tengxian County Hospital. It was summer, Lao Wang was on a business trip, and I was the only one at home. Yabei accompanied me to Mushi Bus Station to take a bus to Teng County for a visit. The doctor said that the wound is very close to the eyeball. If you come here later, your eye will be in danger...

After coming back, Yabei was afraid that I would not be able to cook, so he bought a few steamed buns and brought them to me. Yabei, she sincerely helped me when I was most helpless.

Director Chen Baomin is here. He is an extremely dedicated person. He is very anxious because the manuscript has not been written yet. My right eye was wrapped with gauze, and I finished writing the first draft of the TV special "Take Flight, Golden Phoenix" with "clear vision".

The annual overhaul is a tough battle in Luhua, and front-line workers are busy. The publicity department is also busy. Every year, an overhaul headquarters and an overhaul publicity group are established in the overhaul plant. Members of various departments in our office building are working on the overhaul publicity team.

The overhaul was promoted through radio, blackboard newspapers, photos and "Overhaul Briefing". Later, a television station was established and TV reports were added.

Since 1978, I have been engraving steel plates in the overhaul publicity team. At that time, the typing room simply could not type so much text, so we used a stylus to engrave the manuscript on wax paper and then printed it out with a mimeograph machine. What I carved was straight lines, which is the so-called "fake Song style". Xia Shangbin is good at typesetting and illustration, and he can carve diagonal lines quickly and well.

Han Pengwu and Du Houyu wrote and reviewed the manuscript. Some other members registered manuscripts, some proofread manuscripts, and some mimeographed presentations. Everyone has an orderly division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation. I remember that the lesbian who was carving steel plates with me was Zhang Liangjun. She was from the Education Department. With the development of the factory, the later "Overhaul Briefing" was printed.

In the early 1990s, a group of college graduates were assigned to the factory, and Shu Yan came to the publicity office at this time. Later came Qian Guangli, Si Pinyi, Zhao Bo, and Xu Zhiling. During the few years we were together, we learned from each other at work and learned from each other's strengths; outside of work, we talked about everything.

Han Pengwu’s calligraphy is very good, and Zhang Guanghua not only wrote the manuscript but also took photos, and the photos were very good. Shu Yan learned broadcasting through her eyes and ears, and sometimes worked as a substitute in the broadcasting room as a "non-staff broadcaster".

At that time, Baohua and I not only were on duty in the broadcast room, but also went to the TV station to broadcast "Luhua News".
