Qian Zhiguang: Shouldering The Historical Mission Of Textile Industry And Solving The Clothing Problem Of Large Population

The textile industry is faced with the problem of increasing production, stabilizing the market and developing the textile industry. How to make the textile industry develop faster and better, and find out a more fast, better and more economical way has been Qian Zhiguang's hard exploration and serious practice goal for decades.

In July 1949, Qian Zhiguang accompanied Chen Yun to Shanghai to attend the national financial and economic conference. One of the key points of the meeting is to study and resume the production of textile industry, arrange cotton purchase, stabilize the economy and stabilize the market. Later, Qian Zhiguang presided over the National Cotton Conference in Beiping to solve the problem of raw materials for textile production. Qian Zhiguang pointed out in the summary of the meeting that in order to change the colonial nature of the textile industry, maintain and resume textile production, promote the economic development of the people, and maintain and improve the livelihood of the majority of workers, the solution of cotton supply this year is not only a simple procurement problem, but also a work of great political significance related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

In November 1949, speculative capital snapped up "two white and one black" (grain, gauze and coal) in big cities such as Shanghai and Wuhan, which led to a sharp rise in prices and attempted to bring down the people's Republic of China. Qian Zhiguang arrived in Shanghai and Hankou successively to dispatch the gauze stock in the two places, and at the same time promoted the cotton transportation from central China to the East, so as to ensure the supply of gauze in Hankou, Hunan and Guangdong, and stabilize prices. In 1950, the government implemented the policy of unified purchase and sale of gauze. In order to ensure that the people of the whole country get a proper supply of cotton cloth, the planned supply of cotton cloth was implemented in September 1954. This made Qian Zhiguang more aware of the great historical mission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China ordering him to be the leader of the Ministry of textile industry and to provide funds for national construction in order to solve the problem of people's clothing all over the country.

In the autumn of 1953, Chairman Mao presided over the meeting to discuss the development of the textile industry. Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other leading comrades attended the meeting. Chairman Mao believed that the construction scale of the 2.5 million cotton spinning mill proposed in Qian Zhiguang's report could be larger, thus determining the decision of large-scale construction of the textile industry. In October of the same year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued an instruction to the Party group of the Ministry of textile industry, pointing out that the supply of textiles is a major event related to the life of the people in the whole country, and is also a major event related to the relationship between the party and the government and the people, especially with the farmers. Therefore, under the policy of concentrating on the construction of heavy industry and continuing to exert the productive potential of existing enterprises, attention should be paid to the proper development of textile industry as soon as possible.

Qian Zhiguang made a speech at the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and further elaborated the important significance of developing textile industry based on the practice of his chairing the Ministry of textile industry for several years. He pointed out that the development of textile industry can not only meet the needs of the people, but also quickly accumulate construction funds for the country. During the first Five-Year Plan period, the national textile industry has accumulated nearly 10 billion yuan (including industrial profits and taxes), equivalent to about 38% of the total industrial investment in the first five-year plan. He said that the investment needed to build a new cotton textile mill with 100000 spindles and 3500 cloth machines would be 35 million yuan. After it was officially put into operation, it would take only one year to recover all the investment. Printing and dyeing, wool textile mills, etc., the recovery time should be shorter. The speed and quantity of this accumulation is beneficial to the development of China's industry.

After decades of hard work and hard work, he left the textile industry with a sense of hard work and hard work When leading the textile industry, "the textile industry has become the first industrial sector to step into the advanced ranks of the world, and successfully solved the clothing problem in a large population country."
