First of all, eat, food is the first thing for the people. Thirty years ago, the general price of rice and flour was 0. 17 yuan, but now the price is about 1.30 yuan, which has increased nearly eight times. The price of non-staple food is staggering, and the price of vegetables has risen from an average of 50 cents a catty to an average of 1.50 yuan a catty, up 30 times. The price of pork, for example, has risen from 0.82 yuan to the current average 6 yuan, which has increased by more than seven times. The price of beef and mutton is at least 10 times, and the increase of edible oil is about 7 times. Think about it, it's really scary.
Secondly, to put it bluntly. Now a decent suit costs more than one or two hundred yuan. 30 years ago, the problem could be solved within 20 yuan. So the price of clothes is 18 times higher than that of that era.
The following topic is alive. Thirty years ago, people lived in adobe bungalows and burned wood and coal, which caused great pollution to the environment. Now, every family has entered the era of electrification. Everyone likes to use fuel that doesn't pollute the atmosphere.
People's ideas are changing. In the past, adults didn't pay attention to the importance of learning and thought that learning was the same as not learning. Now, every family wants their children to enter the university campus and learn scientific and cultural knowledge, especially farmers, who realize the importance of science and technology.
The next topic is ok. Now some people ride bicycles, some ride motorcycles, some drive private cars, and of course some people like to take taxis. These are not representative, the most representative is to take the bus. Tickets cost 50 cents 30 years ago, but now the ticket 1 yuan has increased 20 times.
After analyzing the basic necessities of life, let's talk about medical care, education, social security and so on. Thirty years ago, we had a relatively complete medical security system. Workers are reimbursed by the unit for medical treatment without spending money. Farmers have cooperative medical care and serious illness co-ordination. Medical care is basically free. Then, let's assume that a person has no unit and spends money on medical treatment. How much does it cost to go to the hospital once? 30 years ago, the common cold was solved one by one, even the maximum amount of drops was more than 10. Now? Not to mention going to 30 yuan for 20 minutes. If infusion, 100 yuan is not enough. If you are seriously ill, it will be even more troublesome. Medical expenses have increased 80 times!
Now, our income has also changed a lot: in the past month, dozens of dollars can support more than a dozen people in the whole family. What about now? It has risen to several hundred yuan or even several thousand yuan, and wages have risen ten to dozens of times.
The problem of education is bigger. Nine-year compulsory education is real. When our parents went to school, the tuition and fees for the whole year were around 5 yuan. Your boy can go to college, and you don't have to pay 1 cent. The money for eating is managed by the state, so you can't afford to read. At present, primary schools are several hundred yuan a year, middle schools are several thousand yuan a year, and universities are tens of thousands of yuan a year. There are too many people who can't afford to read! ! The cost of education has increased by 300 times. Yes, now our country implements nine-year compulsory education, and the tuition fees for primary and junior high schools will be free in the future, but we haven't caught up yet! It's really a pity.
A few years ago, Huadian people ate their own well water and planted Kaschin-Beck disease. Now people eat tap water and mineral water. Even the tap water has been treated.
In short, the reform card has brought great changes to our motherland, our hometown and our life!
Ten achievements of reform and opening up
(1) Establish a perfect material production system.
After 30 years of reform and opening up, China has ensured peace and stability, established a complete material production system, and made remarkable achievements in economic construction.

At the same time, China's economic scale and economic aggregate are also expanding.

(10) People's lives are more colorful.
The material life and cultural life of the people of China have entered an era of synchronization with the world.
Reasons for the achievements of reform and opening up
The fundamental reason why we have made all the achievements and progress since the reform and opening up can be summarized as follows: we have opened up the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and formed the system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory.
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, our Party has deepened its understanding of the laws of governance, socialist construction and the development of human society in the practice of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. From "development is the last word" to "development is the first priority", and then to Scientific Outlook on Development, the ruling concept has been enriched and developed, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has made great achievements, social productive forces have developed unprecedentedly, people's material life has been greatly enriched, and their ability to overcome natural disasters has become stronger and stronger.
China has made great achievements in the past 30 years of reform and opening up. The basic experience is that China has followed the "four-color theorem" of economic growth. The development history of China and the world fully proves that the "four-color theorem" of economic growth-peace and stability, open structure, human capital and structural growth are the necessary and sufficient conditions for economic growth, and also the basic experience of China's reform and opening up. Follow the "four-color theorem", the economy will develop and the society will progress.
Experience and lessons of 30 years of reform and opening up
More than 70 years ago, American President Roosevelt said, "In our country, the only things that are really valuable are natural resources and people." It is also appropriate to use this sentence to understand China today. In the past 30 years of reform and development, if there is one thing that we have really failed to do well, it is that we have asked too much for natural resources, the environment and the rights and welfare of working people, and given too little. Specifically, first of all, the environmental cost is too high and the resources are excessively consumed. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and economic development comes at a price. China's sustained and rapid economic growth has made great contributions to the world economy, but at the cost of serious damage to China's resources and environment.
Secondly, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened and the rights and interests of workers have been damaged. According to the results of three large-scale income distribution surveys conducted by the income distribution research group led by Zhao He, Institute of Economics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, from 18 to 2002, the Gini coefficient gap between rural and urban areas was widening. Relevant statistics also show that in the past 30 years, the average annual output value of domestic and foreign-funded enterprises has increased by more than 10%, while the annual wage growth rate of workers except monopoly state-owned enterprises is only 1%-3%. All these situations show that the income level of workers has not increased year-on-year with the growth of GDP.
Third, the social and moral environment is worrying. In recent years, it is estimated that the increased transaction cost due to the lack of credit accounts for more than 10% of GDP in that year. If the moral foundation of economic and social development appears
