2008/9/26 14:50:00 48

160 years ago, Lin Zexu's Humen cigarette sales made Humen's Pearl River mouth a world of fame.

Nowadays, the ancient lock of iron lock copper pass has been replaced by the fashionable Chinese ladies' famous town.

30 years ago, only two tailoring shops made clothes for the people in Humen, which had nothing to do with fashion.

In the 30 years since the reform and opening up, Humen's clothing industry has developed from a spontaneous market to a homeopathic factory.

At present, Hongkong, the fashion capital of the world, has released a new fashion fashion (costumes). Humen can be informed on that day that it will be able to finish the design, production and sale on the next day.

Debut (late 70s and early 80s)

Wear 10 pairs of trousers to get through the situation.

In 1982, Liang Liang, a Humen man, was still a young man who struggled for money all day.

That year he spent $16 thousand on a ship with his friends, selling vegetables such as wax gourd to Hongkong.

When he returned to Humen, he had to hide dozens of nylon cloth on his ship and go back to Humen with fear.

One day in 1980, the Soviet Union boss, who made clothes in Humen, bought hundreds of clothes at Sha Tau Kok in Shenzhen and then the friendship mall.

He was afraid to leave so many goods in the daytime. He hired a walking tractor in the evening, dressed under the carriage, covered with feeds, and secretly pulled clothes back to Humen in the evening.

Zhang Yongtong, an old Guancheng man, came to work in Humen in 1950s.

He loves photography. He used cameras to record the development of Humen in more than half a century.

He has an old photograph: an empty old street with many people gathered on both sides of the street.

This photo taken before and after 1979 is a street next to the Zhixin Park in Humen.

In those years, the clothes and cloth secretly brought back by Liang Shu and Su boss will often appear on the stalls in the photos, and they are very popular.

Selling a shirt and pants can earn at least a few dollars.

The two bosses, who are now in great wealth, recalled the situation of "training" in the past. They said: "in those days, many people in Humen, Houjie, Changan and so on were brave enough to join in the tide of commodity economy in the initial stage of reform and opening up.

We go back and forth between Shenzhen, Sha Tau Kok, Hongkong and Humen at different times, bringing back foreign goods which are scarce in mainland China in various ways, including more than once wearing 10 pairs of trousers from Shenzhen Sha Tau Kok to return to Humen to evade inspection.

It is precisely because of the courage and hardship of this generation that before 1979, the "foreign goods Street" under the lens of Zhang Yongtong's old age.

The street was soon known, attracting more and more businessmen from the Pearl River Delta and the mainland.

There are thousands of people there every day when people are prosperous.

"Encirclement and suppression" can not extinguish the enthusiasm of seeking wealth.

Around 1978, Humen people who had successfully escaped from Hong Kong earlier returned to visit their families, bringing back some items such as clothes, hats, socks, electronic watches and so on.

In the early days of reform and opening up, people wore clothes which were "gray", "yellow" and "blue". These "foreign goods" made the people of Humen open their eyes.

A piece of clothing can be sold for several yuan to tens of dollars, which was a great asset at that time.

At that time, the spring breeze of reform and opening up had just blown up, and the Humen people with a strong commercial spirit would not waste their opportunities.

The traffic between Humen and Hongkong is very convenient, at that time it only takes a few hours (now it only takes more than 1 hours).

They will be like Liang Shu and Su boss, go to Hongkong or close to Hongkong, Shenzhen Sha Tau Kok (that is, Sino British street) sell fish and vegetables, and then directly "smuggle" some clothes, cloth back to Humen "training booth".

Tan Zhiqiang is the director of Humen economic and trade office.

When he was young in 1980, he often went to "foreign goods Street" because there were many beautiful things there.

"People used to check in those days, including the provincial departments of Commerce and industry.

As soon as they arrived, all the vendors strolled away.

Su boss said, in fact, they were all "ghosts".

The industry and commerce departments often come to "encircle and suppress", seize everything and confiscate everything.

In order to avoid "encirclement and suppression", they sometimes choose to set up stalls at noon or at night. Sometimes they only take a small part of clothing and sell them home.

Liang Shu said they were always afraid when they took the goods back to the stalls.

But they need money, and that kind of enthusiasm for getting rich is hard to get rid of by "encirclement and suppression".

(early 80s to early 90s)

Set up a management committee to set up a clothing fair.

If the Humen town government voted to build Humen's first large-scale professional clothing wholesale market, fuming fashion city in 1993, it is the most conscious guide to the construction of Humen's professional clothing market. In 1981, Humen's "industrial and commercial self employment management committee" (referred to as the "management committee") was the government's unintended support for Humen's garment market which was not yet formed.
