The market is the northwest textile base built by China during the "15" period, and many new China's "miracles" were born. The Northwest China national cotton factory has been named the "Zhao Mengtao group" named after the national model worker Zhao Mengtao. The textile workers in the factory, Wu Guixian, served as Vice Premier of the State Council in the 70s of last century. The famous director was also from the northwest eight national cotton factory.

But after the reform and opening up, along with the vigorous development of the coastal textile industry, the local textile industry has gone from bad to worse, and some companies have been forced to restructure or carry out policy bankruptcy in order to "get rid of historical baggage and bank debts". There is no way to know where these "historical baggage" come from. As a result, the fact that the local textile workers have been treated at a low level has long existed. According to the workers, a monthly salary of eight hundred or nine hundred yuan has been considered a relatively good standard. "Some young people who have just entered the office get four hundred or five hundred yuan a month."

"The coastal textile companies such as the sun and the sun are all technical talents excavated from the national cotton mill." a private business owner close to the senior officials of the senior market said, "with good regional advantages and industrial foundation, the textile industry is now what it looks like. At the bottom, it is still a part of the system and concept of the state-owned enterprises. The leaders are not responsible for it and do not carry out technological transformation. The product stays at the most elementary stage and the profit margin is very low." At present, there are a large number of private textile factories in the market, which are said to have good production and operation, and the treatment of workers is significantly higher than those of these state-owned enterprises.
