1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 28 There is a good ventriloquist in Beijing

During this period, the chief engineer was elected as the chairman of the association, and the first meeting he presided over was the "National Science Conference".

The meeting was held from March 3 to 18. 31 people attended the meeting, and less than 6000 were under 35 years old.

Chen Jingrun sat on the rostrum as one of the young representatives.

The 34-year-old Ren Zhengfei attended the meeting as a representative of the PLA's scientific and technological personnel because he had just won the first prize for military technological achievements.

On April 4, the country received the first foreign symphony orchestra to perform in China after the movement.

Not far from the National Hall B, there is an auditorium that is not very popular nowadays - Hongta Hall L.

In this place with the best acoustics in Yenching at the time, the conductor Seiji Ozawa led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a performance.

In the summer, I took advantage of the song and dance troupe's presence and listened to it backstage once.

On May 5, Yanjing Television was renamed Central Television.

That’s right, the original Yanjing Television Station became CCTV, and the later Yanjing Television Station was established again.

It's like being possessed by someone.
Suffocated!
We still get a day off on Labor Day, after all, it was fought for by the martyrs.

Xia Tian went with his dad to watch a movie, and this time the movie was actually a cartoon - "Havoc in Heaven"!
"Boy! I'm witnessing history again!"

The first time I watched "Journey to the West" that summer, although I seemed to be able to control myself on the surface, I was extremely excited in my heart.

It’s a pity that the movie was only half finished, and it ended with “Please watch the next episode”, but Xia Tian knew that there would be no next episode.

The fun that "Havoc in Heaven" brings to children is indescribable.

Let's put it this way, Dachun went to five shows a day with Xia's father and Xia Tian just to watch it over and over again! They were so obsessed with it!

The charm of Sun Wukong is irresistible!
In May, Dad Xia used his connections to order milk.

You need a card to buy milk, and it is not available every day, only every other day, and you have to queue up. The milk bottles are the same in the whole city.

And Xia Tian found another capable person among the forty factories under Shougang.

An old man in his sixties who is guarding the gate of the warehouse!
The old man has no children and has no plans to retire, so the factory assigned him this easy job.

The old man lived directly in the duty room, cooking, sleeping, listening to the radio and watching the warehouse every day.

And Xia Tian heard that this Grandpa Sun was good at ventriloquism, and it was said to be miraculous!

He went to ask for advice.

It’s normal that the old man was unwilling to express himself at first.

After ten years, these street performers have become terrified and would never want to show off their skills again in their entire life if they have the means.

But how much can you coax in the summer? I don't ask for much, I just greet you every day, and give you a catch if you go fishing, and seasonal fruits and vegetables if you have them.

This tall, strong, fair and handsome young man greets you respectfully every day and gives you gifts like an elder...

Less than half a month later, Grandpa Sun couldn't stand it anymore: "Tell me, what do you want to do? Isn't it enough if I agree?"

After hearing this, Master Ma and Zhu Youguang both said: You are a ruthless person!

This Grandpa Sun has really great ventriloquism skills. He can imitate the sounds of birds, animals, humans, and nature... He's simply amazing!
It is a bit like the classical Chinese text "The Art of Ventriloquism", which means that there was a ventriloquist in Beijing.

You don't need anything, just open your mouth and you can make any sound. You can even imitate other people's voices!
Of course, Grandpa Sun has demonstrated this skill to Xia Tian.

When he was young, Grandpa Sun learned skills from a master and performed on the flyover for many years.

He has many experiences in the underworld, and he is very good at describing them, and his stories are very vivid.

Every time I go there in the summer, I ask for some stories to listen to, which is very interesting.

It was on Labor Day that Xia's father and mother decided to buy a TV after a series of discussions.

At first we decided to buy a black and white one, but Xia Tian said it would be better to wait and buy a color TV directly!
That's a color TV! Xia's father and mother never dared to think about it before.

But this year coincided with the beginning of the explosion of domestic color televisions, originating from the 19-inch color TV - West Lake brand - produced by Qiantang TV Factory of the Radio Factory of the May th Cadre School.

There happened to be a batch of them on the shelves of a state-owned department store. Maybe they wanted to test the waters, so the price was not high, 925 yuan!
Xia Tian insisted on winning it at that time and even donated the 18 yuan he had saved!

"Dad, this is a color TV! We had to import it before. If we don't get it now, we don't know if we will have it in the future! Besides, the price will definitely go up in the future!"

Xia Tian has more say at home, and his father and mother are willing to listen.

In addition, the two of them had saved a lot in the past three years after they recovered from their "illness" in the summer, so they finally gritted their teeth and bought it!
For this price, you can buy three 14-inch black-and-white TVs.

However, it was later confirmed that Xia Tian was correct.

Although Yanjing also launched the Peony brand color TV (the imported Xiao Ri Zi production line) next year, due to the reform and opening up, people's consumption concepts have improved and demand has increased greatly, so the price of color TVs has increased instead.

The 14-inch TV costs 19 yuan! The Xia family's -inch TV is over yuan, which is a good find. There are only a few of them, less than .

Xia Tian's family erected a wooden antenna along the outer wall of the house. It was made of broken car wheel hubs and aluminum pipes and was presided over by Xia Tian and Yan Jing.

You know what, the signal is good.

It is this TV that my friends and I would stay at home with every night in the summer, and only go home when we see the TV test picture (a colorful circular picture) on the TV.

On the afternoon of May 5, Dachun and his friends discovered the "treasure"!
CCTV officially introduced the first overseas TV version of the animated series - "Astro Boy".

When I saw it in the summer, I was shocked: Is this animation so early? !

However, what Xia Tian and his father discussed after dinner was certainly not this black-and-white Japanese animation.

It was the article "Practice is the only criterion for testing government" in the Guang M Daily this morning.

The article is aimed at the "two FS".

And Xinhua News Agency also forwarded this article.

Later, the People's Daily and the Liberation Daily reprinted it at the same time.

Father Xia: "The invisible wind begins to surge..."

……

It is not known whether it was the making of the TV antenna that allowed Yan Jing to find something useful in the secret manual left by his father, but he soon became fascinated with the fields of electronics and communications.

I actually made a crystal radio based on some information!

When Dachun heard the sound from the extremely simple crystal radio, he was completely stunned: Is this the power of knowledge?! It's so scary!

Xia Tian: "Glasses, you are a real genius!"

Xia Tian didn't expect that Yan Jing could figure out this thing by himself.

No wonder I kept going to Xinhua Bookstore to read books and look up information some time ago, right?
Although I roughly understand the principle of this thing, I don't think it is possible to make it.

Xia Tian was not good at science, and although he chose civil engineering as his major in college, he chose the wrong industry.

After working as a mechanic for two years, he just ran away.

I regretted it later and thought I should have chosen liberal arts. It also had something to do with my own media career.

To study science, he could only step on Sir Newton's coffin and fly away on a sword.
……

On May 5, the assistant to the Eagle Sauce leader arrived.

The chief designer met him in the reception hall at the south gate of the synagogue.

When the assistant visited China, he presented us with 1 gram of lunar rock as a gesture of goodwill - only 1 gram, which required a magnifying glass to see clearly.

It is so tiny that it has to be divided into two halves, one half is kept in the Yenching Planetarium and the other half is used for research.

Based on this 0.5 grams of lunar soil, Chinese scholars published 14 papers.

But Xia Tian remembers that after we landed on the moon, we brought back lunar soil for comparison, and it seemed that the one given by the Eagle Sauce was fake?!

Boil
It’s worthy of you, Eagle Sauce!

Of course, some people later thought that the Eagle Sauce’s manned moon landing was most likely faked.

From 69 to 72, in just three years, the Eagle Sauce landed on the moon six times and sent 3 people up there!
Then in 73, the Russian Lunokhod probe was successfully launched, and the Apollo program was magically stopped.
The most amazing thing is that the American astronauts who landed on the moon could run when they returned to Earth, but the astronauts who went to the International Space Station had to be carried into a tent for recovery training when they returned to Earth.

The Russian astronauts had to be carried back to Earth when they were doing manned orbiting experiments. Our astronauts also had to be carried out of the capsule when they were doing manned experiments. Did all the American astronauts get injected with super serum?
A little knowledge: Nick was sworn in in 69 and he was successfully re-elected in 72.

It’s really hard to say now, the boomerang might hit you in the face.

Anyway, regardless of whether they faked it or not, they couldn’t get promoted at all later on.

Moreover, all the information, from tapes to films, from texts to drawings, was lost.
……

On May 5, the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng was unearthed at Leigudun, about 25 kilometers northwest of Suizhou City, Hubei Province.

A set of chimes of grand scale and majestic momentum!

The entire bell stand is supported by several bronze men. The bronze men have their hands raised, bronze swords on their waists, their eyes looking straight ahead, their expressions calm and composed, and the workmanship is exquisite and lifelike.

This is a valuable treasure!
