If there is no electricity in our life, can you imagine what kind of state our life will return to? Far away, let's just say that in my grandparents' generation, I'm afraid few people have enjoyed a life with electricity. My grandfather is 74 years old and often tells us their stories at that time. When he was in middle school, it was the early days of the founding of New China. My grandfather said that night at that time was associated with darkness. I can't see my fingers as soon as it gets dark. I use plant oil lamps for lighting at home. In order to save fuel, people adjust the wick to the size of soybeans. It's hard to imagine what such weak light can do. Then there are diesel lamps and kerosene lamps. The whole family eats around the lamps and does needlework. The next morning, everyone's nostrils were black, their throats were dry and itchy, and they kept coughing. At that time, electricity was a scarce energy source, and the most expensive household appliance in the family was a flashlight. The biggest wish of this family is to use a lamp that doesn't smoke any more. ...
By the time my parents arrived, not only the small county became brightly lit, but every household in the countryside was equipped with electric lights. The "four big things" necessary for young people to get married began to be upgraded from bicycles, sewing machines, radios and watches to tape recorders, refrigerators, color TVs and washing machines. ...
I am a young man known as the post-80s generation. Adults often say that we are a generation born in a honeypot, bathed in the spring breeze of reform and opening up and enjoying the fruits of reform and opening up. After taking part in the work, I was lucky enough to join the power industry and become a power person. I have heard and witnessed the development of the power grid in my hometown and the vital benefits brought by "rural electrification construction" to the people.
Please have a look. This is a comparison chart of 1958, 1978 and the total installed capacity of Wudi substation in 2008: 1958 10 When Wudi No.1 Power Plant was completed and put into operation, there were only 1 transmission transformers. By 1978, the total installed capacity will be only KVA；; By the end of 2008, the total capacity of main transformer has reached 19940KVA, which is 35 times that of 1978. As can be seen from the figure, the scale of Wudi electric power industry has exceeded the total construction since the founding of New China in 10.
If these are not enough to impress you, then I will tell you another story about a returning farmer who went home to start a business:
Hu is an ordinary farmer in Hougua Village, Chezhen Township, Wudi County. He worked in Tianjin for a long time and came back after the Spring Festival this year because of layoffs. When I was worried that I couldn't find a way out, the village's "rural electrification construction" project was completed, and the village's power resources were guaranteed from then on. As a result, with the skills he learned abroad, Hu quickly set up a plastic processing factory and absorbed more than 20 returning migrant workers for employment. Their products are exported to Henan, Jiangsu, Xinjiang and other places. In just half a year, the output value reached 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. Hu said happily: "I didn't expect that starting a business at home is easier than going out to work!" Electrification construction has enabled more and more migrant workers to realize their entrepreneurial dreams at home, and many "mud legs" have also become entrepreneurs.
With electricity, the gap between rural and urban life is getting smaller and smaller. Especially in rural areas, electricity is really rich. Just walk into a farmhouse and you will find that air conditioning, mobile phones, computers and cars have become the common "four big things"; Household appliances such as rice cookers and induction cookers are yours and mine. A village party secretary who has realized the electrified village told us: "In the six months after the transformation of this electrified village, the number of farmers engaged in building materials, breeding and vermicelli processing in our village increased by more than 40 people. I roughly estimated that the income of the village this year has increased by more than 600,000 yuan compared with the same period last year. Now rural people live the same life as urban people. I used to be afraid that I wouldn't use high-powered home appliances for decoration. Now that the voltage is stable, I have no worries at all! "
In my memory of more than 20 years, I have also experienced and witnessed how the life with electricity has become richer and more exciting: when I bought my first TV set, I learned about News Network and Spring Festival Gala; When I bought the first air conditioner, I knew that I could change the original temperature by pressing the remote control; When I bought my first computer, I knew what "heaven is still our neighbor" ... If electric lights illuminate people's eyes, televisions illuminate people's hearts, and computers in the Internet era illuminate people's thinking and broaden people's horizons. ...
I can't help but think of a children's song I sang when I was a child: how convenient it is to have electricity, and how endless it is to use it! It is this sufficient power and stable voltage that makes all kinds of electrical appliances play their magic like props in the hands of magicians, so that people can enjoy a rich and healthy high-grade life; It is such an invisible thing that makes the whole world full of light, beauty and strength!
What makes this invisibility tangible? Become you today? There is only one answer: the people of China and the Republic of China. It is the new China that illuminates our eyes, broadens our horizons, condenses our strength, arouses our confidence, and enables hundreds of millions of Chinese people to show their elegance with a brand-new attitude. Without new China, it's like life without electricity. Who wants to go back to the past if there is no electricity in life?
So, let's bless New China with a grateful heart, just as we bless our mother! I want to pick up the golden cup for my birthday and drink the wine to celebrate. I wish my dear motherland peace and prosperity and Binzhou a better tomorrow! (
