As a result, several third-line factories in Xiangyang, which appeared in this film, became the most popular tourist destinations this Spring Festival. From the second day of the first month to now, they have received nearly 30,000 local citizens and foreign tourists every day, and more than 300,000 people have visited the clock on 10. Faced with the swarming tourists, Weidong Mechanical Chemical Factory, one of the locations, even posted a notice and refused visitors to visit behind closed doors.
Weidong Machinery Chemical Plant was originally code-named 846 Factory, which was once a secret "third-line factory" for producing grenades, rifle grenades and other weapons and equipment. In the 1960s, Xiangyang, a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, was included in the national "third-line" construction key area.
From 1964 to 1980, under the guiding ideology of combat readiness, large-scale national defense, science and technology, industry and transportation infrastructure construction was carried out in central and western China 13 provinces, which was called "third-line construction" in history.
At that time, the third-line construction required "building on the mountain, scattered and hidden", so most of the "third-line factories" were located in mountainous areas. Xiangyang, Hubei Province, located between the Qinling Mountains and Jianghan Plain, is precisely such a terrain. More than 40 military enterprises named after digital codes, such as Weidong Machinery and Chemical Plant, have taken root here.
"Give youth to life and give youth to future generations." For this unprecedented economic construction and industrial transfer, millions of workers, workers, technicians and management cadres came to the ravine from developed areas such as Beijing and Shanghai and old industrial bases in Northeast China with nothing. However, due to historical reasons, the huge group of "third-line construction" is little known until today.
Jia Lingcheng grew up in Yicheng Oriental Chemical Factory (former 525 Factory) jointly built by Qingyang Chemical Factory (former 375 Factory), 805 Factory, 845 Factory and 255 Factory in Liaoning. It's not hard to understand why in the movie Hi Mom, the actors speak Northeast dialect instead of Xiangyang dialect.
In Jia Ling's films, 198 1 this year is the first year when the "third-line construction" ends and the military conversion begins. Aerospace 42, Huazhong Pharmaceutical, Jiangshan Heavy Industry, Xinhuaguang, Hubei Chemical Fiber Factory, Dongfang Chemical Factory and 3542 Factory. These third-line military factories that used to produce bullets have now grown into well-known domestic enterprises.
Because these "third-line factories" are far away from the urban areas and hidden in the mountains, over time, a closed small society has been formed. In addition to production workshops, schools, hospitals, banks, shopping malls, grain depots, cinemas, clubs, canteens, bathhouses, kindergartens, etc. There is a factory outside. The former "third-line factory" was a small world in the mountains.
Weidong machinery chemical plant was founded in 1964, and still retains the original appearance of the third-line factory. The auditorium, volleyball court, workers' cultural palace, staff canteen, boating reservoir, kindergarten, window and other scenes in the movie "Hi Mom" were all shot in the family area of this factory.
Weidong Mechanical Chemical Plant, 603 Plant, Yicheng Oriental Chemical Plant and Laohekou Chemical Fiber Plant, which appeared in the film, became famous almost overnight. In front of the basketball court, barber shop, popular restaurant and staff canteen in the factory area, the tourists queuing to take pictures are crowded.
"My future daughter, I will make her healthy and happy." What Li Huanying said to Jia Ling hit the hearts of all parents in the world, and it was also the most touching sentence in the film.
The most popular place is the corner where Jia Ling and Michael Chen shelter from the rain next to the staff canteen, and there is no end in sight for people queuing to take photos and punch in. Men, women and children come to "punch in". There are lovers, good brothers, good sisters, a family of three, all learning the posture in the movie. If they take some photos, they will give up their posture.
The third-tier factory, which has been silent for many years, suddenly became lively because of a movie. Looking at the surging crowd in front of you, does it remind you of your aunt's memories?
The young man who devoted himself to the third-line construction has now become a white-haired old man who grabs each other and kills each other. More than 60 years ago, their "third-line factory" was unknown to outsiders because it was a state secret; In the 1980s, "military to civilian" was ignored because it was out of touch with the times.
Spring is coming, everything is reviving, all kinds of seasonal vegetables in the garden are growing well, and the roadside vegetable market full of fireworks is still so lively and full of vitality.
