The Voice Of Old Textile Workers In Shenyang: If The Road Ahead Is Bright, We Are Not Afraid Of The Long Way

When talking about Shenyang, people often think of the well-known symbols: capital city of Liaoning Province, national historical and cultural city, Ministry of equipment of the Republic of China, etc.

It's true that the memory of Shenyang is not enough. That is the once brilliant textile industry in Shenyang.

During the "double festival" period, the second China (Shenyang) Qipao Culture Festival ended in laughter. Stepping on the drum beat of the event, the reporter interviewed Li Yi, former president of Shenyang Textile Industry Federation, and listened to him talk about the industry context that created and witnessed the glory of the city.

The beginning of previous life: Although the new era of Shenyang Textile chapter has been out of office for more than three years, Li Yi is still a family treasure when talking about the prosperity of Shenyang textile industry.

"Shenyang's textile industry flourished in the 1980s." In the period of textile industry of Shenyang, the total output value of Shenyang textile industry reached several hundred million, and the total output value of Shenyang textile industry reached several hundred million. Textile industry has also become the largest export earner, far more than machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry and other industries. "

"Wool spinning is represented by the first wool textile mill and the second wool textile mill located near Jihong street in Tiexi District. There are many other wool textile mills, such as the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. From woolen blanket to woolen yarn As long as wool comes in, Shenyang can produce all wool products. Even the famous Wool Textile Group in China, sunshine group, had to rank behind Shenyang wool textile at that time. " So far, Li Yi is still proud of himself.

Historical traces: in addition to wool spinning, the strength of Shenyang cotton textile industry can not be underestimated. In Li Yi's memory, at that time, the annual output value of Shenyang cotton spinning was nearly 300000 spindles. And when it comes to cotton spinning, Li Yi also talked about a period of history related to it.

"Cotton spinning is represented by Shenyang textile mill with the scale of 100000 spindles. The former site of Shenyang textile mill is located in the south of the north market, and its predecessor is Fengtian spinning mill." According to records, Fengtian spinning factory was founded by Wang Yongjiang, then governor of Fengtian, in 1921. Zhang zuolin once became a shareholder and became the earliest national cotton textile enterprise in Northeast China jointly owned by government and businessmen. The spinning factory is also famous all over the country because Liu Shaoqi and other revolutionaries of the older generation once led the workers' movement here. " Li Yi said that Fengtian textile factory changed its name many times and changed its name to Shenyang textile factory after 1958.

Today, walking along Fushun Road in Heping District, you can still see the pin shaped and European style buildings rebuilt in the former site of Fengtian spinning factory. The former Shenyang No.1 and No.2 wool textile mills, which have been demolished and used for other purposes, are also two old factories built 100 years ago. "The first and second wool mills were built by the Japanese. After the liberation of Shenyang, the party and the government carried out large-scale transformation of these two enterprises, and imported advanced domestic equipment, reaching the later production scale. " Li Yi said.

Red memory: in an interview with a packed guest house, Li Yi takes the printing and dyeing factory as an example, and describes such a scene: "in those days, the business of the hostels around the printing and dyeing factory was very prosperous. There were almost no vacant rooms in every family. The guests were qingyishui and they spoke the southern accent." Li Yi said that most of these people came from Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhangjiagang and other places. They were downstream merchants waiting for printing and dyeing factories to ship goods.

"At that time, the printing and dyeing enterprises represented by Shenyang No.1 and No.2 printing and dyeing factories were able to print 13 sets of colors on a piece of cloth, which was very difficult to achieve. Because if the printing is not good, the "double eyelid" will appear at the joint of the two designs and colors, and it will become a defective product Li Yi said that in the 1980s, the annual dyeing capacity of Shenyang printing and dyeing factory reached more than one billion meters. "The corduroy and velvety printed by the second printing and dyeing factory were almost all covered by garment factories in Wuxi, Zhangjiagang and other regions. The manufacturers in these areas used the materials produced in Shenyang to process children's clothing, which were sold at home and abroad."

In Li Yi's memory, the fabrics produced by local textile mills were often not enough to be dyed, so they had to purchase extra fabrics from other places for printing and dyeing. "Sometimes in order to buy Corduroy, you have to" trust the relationship. " Li Yi said.

Years of ups and downs: from the first in New China to missing opportunities, in addition to the textiles that serve people's lives, in Li Yi's narration, the shining national signboards serving other industrial systems are one after another.

Shenyang Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. is one of the famous brands of men's clothing produced by Shenyang dayuntai Textile Co., Ltd., which is one of the most famous brands of men's clothing produced by Shenyang dayuntai Textile Co., Ltd It is no exaggeration to say that under the efforts of several generations of Shenyang textile workers, the vigorous development of Shenyang textile industry not only makes indelible contribution to the local economy, but also makes Shenyang Textile onto the stage of the whole country and even the world.

"At that time, the plaid quilt covers produced by Shenyang weaving factory and bed sheet factory were warmly sought after in Beijing Yansha mall. In those years, they sold at a high price of several hundred yuan, and the demand still exceeded the demand." Li Yi said that at that time, it was absolutely a proud thing to be a "Shenyang Textile man"!

However, with the continuous development of reform and opening up, the economic structure has shown a trend of diversification. In the late 1990s, some problems of Shenyang textile industry appeared in the waves of waves set off by the business sea, and the textile industry in Shenyang, which missed the best opportunity to take off, gradually slipped to the low tide.

Take advantage of: rebuild Shenyang's new textile dream. Now, the successful conclusion of the second China (Shenyang) cheongsam Culture Festival also makes Li Yi, who has never left the textile industry, smile again. "Shenyang still has a lot of textile industry stock, if the measures are appropriate, it is possible to revive the glory of Shenyang textile industry!" Li Yi is full of confidence.

"As far as I know, there is a private textile mill with 100000 spindles in Kangping; Shenyang Beijiang hemp industry, located in Faku, has refined the hemp fiber from hemp rope and made it into clothes, with an annual output value of nearly 100 million yuan; there are 100 enterprises in Kangping's plastic knitting industry cluster, although the production of plastic products is not high in science and technology, but it is sold all over the country; it is concentrated in hongshaling area There are more than 200 clothing enterprises, large and small, with a valuation of billions a few years ago. Kangping also has an enterprise specializing in the production of aircraft arresting nets, mainly for flight training... " Li Yi said that Shenyang textile industry has never lacked bright spots and never left its own track. "Qipao Festival is a good turning point."

Li Yi gave his own opinion on Qianlu: "we have missed the opportunity period in the traditional textile industry. We should not compete with Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces for traditional textile. We should give full play to our advantages. For example, we can develop industrial textiles in combination with equipment manufacturing base. Shenyang has a cluster of automobile manufacturers, and there is a lot of room for development just in the interior decoration of chairs and backs. Secondly, we can also develop home textiles and accessories, not talking about tradition, but constantly innovating on the original basis. As long as the road ahead is bright, we are not afraid of a long way to go. " Li Yi said so.
