How did they stand out from the crowd? What kind of coincidence do they have with paper money? After so many years, with the disappearance of the two-corner banknote, what kind of life are they living now?
Record the imprint of the times, recall classic moments, and taste the taste of life. In this issue, Ziya Boy is a number of popular characters, telling the story of "two dime girls" for everyone.
In 1958, Huang Qiping was born in Yongshun County, Hunan Province, is a native of the Xiangxi Tujia girl, she just happened to catch up with the gospel of the policy, in the era of generally low academic qualifications have a high Chinese, in 1977, Huang Qiping was 19 years old, after she walked out of the high school gate did not choose to go to the city to break in, but resolutely decided to come to the countryside and live in the countryside for three years.
Born in 1963 in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, Su Chunxi is a descendant of the Korean ethnic group, she and Huang Qiping live in different environments, experienced different encounters, the only thing is that she also has a high school education, and after graduation successfully entered the local ethnic museum, integrating work and culture.
In 1979, the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of New China, with the purpose of showing Chinese style, the Beijing National Culture Palace planned to carry out the national ethnic work achievements exhibition activities, the docents in the museum are mostly Han Chinese, not enough to represent the whole nation, so it was decided to let ethnic minorities also join in to reflect the multi-ethnic culture.
This event allowed Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi to meet, the Xiangxi Tujia girls came to Beijing with beauty and elegance, the Korean girls came to Beijing with excellent work skills and outstanding physical conditions, and in April 1979, the two girls had a relationship at a party of 104 ethnic minority representatives.
For Huang Qiping, what bothered her most was not standard Mandarin, which did not meet the basic requirements of the docent, in order to seize this opportunity, she began to put all her emphasis on practicing pronunciation, she talked to herself in the mirror, she did not shame to ask her peers and teachers for help, a period of time passed, her efforts have paid off, and finally solved the problem of flat tongue tone, but also opened the door to her next work.
Su Chunxi is a typical quiet introverted girl, when she was only 16 years old, she did not like to meet new friends, did not like to talk to the teacher, spent as much time as possible in the library, wanted to read more books to enrich herself with knowledge, originally had a solid foundation, in the diligent and studious in exchange for the improvement of ability, each simulation explanation is excellent.
Half a year later, the motherland's birthday came, the exhibition work was carried out for the whole world, and 104 young boys and girls spoke for the nation and became the spokesmen of their nation, making the event smooth and successful. After the event, they continued to stay in Beijing to work for the national style. At the end of the same year, a cameraman came to the Cultural Palace, and among the ethnic minority girls, the four most colorful girls were selected and put on national costumes to be photographed, and Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi accounted for two of the four places.
One afternoon shooting time, the shooting work under the perfect cooperation of the four girls progressed smoothly, their photos appeared on the wall calendar, on the Beijing newspaper, on the "Chinese Nationalities" album, for a while the four of them became the country's red people, both because of their outstanding appearance and because of the national charm they carried.
But they did not know that they had been selected for the 80th edition of the second corner of the yuan, and the two people who were finally determined were Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi. In the lives of the two parties, they have no idea that they are about to be held in the palm of the hands of the people of the whole country, but they have focused their energies on their own lives.
Huang Qiping was admitted to the Central Institute for Nationalities, and then entered the Hunan Provincial Nationalities Committee, she left Beijing, the story of what happened in Beijing in 1979 became a memory, and then the connection with Beijing occurred a few years later, when colleagues who had met in the Beijing National Culture Palace happened to pass through Hunan on a business trip, and came to visit Huang Qiping while bringing a brand-new second-corner yuan. Huang Qiping looked at a new green coin for a long time, and finally saw that one of the two girls on the note was herself.
Su Chunxi later entered the Central University for Nationalities, and after the eighty-zero version of the second corner of the renminbi was issued, she got the new money within two days, and recognized at a glance that the person on the right was herself. The two girls on the screen who are close together have not been in touch for a long time in real life. Huang Qiping was later transferred to work in the province, doing her job well while always keeping a low profile.
Su Chunxi went to South Korea to do trade translation work after completing her studies, and used her spare time to teach Chinese to Korean students, and returned to China again a few years later, she returned to her motherland to marry and have children and became a wife, and she jointly held foreign language training classes with Peking University at work, with the intention of improving the language level of college students.
Two people live their lives along their respective trajectories, without any intersection for decades. Until 2006, Huang Qiping was on TV, Su Chunxi in front of the screen finally saw her again, and then obtained Huang Qiping's contact information through various methods, and the reunion after a gap of 26 years was finally realized, and the two met in Beijing, and the two people at this time were no longer the same as when they met.
Huang Qiping is 48 years old, Su Chunxi is also 43 years old, the two girls of that year have now become stable and elegant middle-aged women, but the call between the two has once again narrowed the distance between each other, as if back to more than twenty years ago, the two are still colleagues who explain national culture together in the Cultural Palace, or the young girls of the year, the sense of intimacy has not diminished, and every scene that happened in the past is still deeply remembered.
Now Huang Qiping is 63 years old, Su Chunxi is 58 years old, the two corners of the renminbi has also become history, is treasured in the commemorative book, the girl's face is forever preserved on the green paper money, but so many years have passed, the two people in those years without contact have maintained a high degree of tacit understanding, that is, never showed off their deeds on the paper money, in the face of various business cooperation both are also rejected, in their hearts can have this honor is happy, but because this opportunity is very special, The meaning behind it is more solemn, it cannot be desecrated, it cannot be touched.
The two young girls have grown up, matured, and have achieved success in their careers, and have also become wives and mothers, and they are no longer the original little girls, but they are always the same as their original intentions, both people are still the same effort, they are still the same for fame and fortune, they shine in their respective posts, do a good job as wives and mothers in their respective families, and then recall the experience of that year, and then see the green yuan, the two hearts are indifferent, this matter did not affect their lives and moods in that year, Today, after many years have passed, it has never become a capital to talk about.
"RMB figures" are not only Huang Qiping and Su Chunxi, but in the eyes of everyone who has become RMB figures, this is a supreme honor, and it has also become a memorable experience in life, but the experience has been very content, each of them has not been blinded by the benefits brought by this honor, each of them continues to return to reality to live a low-key life after becoming famous, they come from all over the world, in their eyes they are still the ordinary people.
