Fierce material in Huaiqing dialect (4)
Before liberation, the mainland's industrial base was very backward, and a large number of daily necessities depended on imports, and the common people used to call these imported goods "foreign" goods. Until the 1970s and 1980s, although a large number of domestic products had been produced, rural people still called it this way. After the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the mainland's economy, the further improvement of the people's living standards, and the improvement of the cultural structure, "foreign" goods have finally withdrawn from the folk dialect slang and returned the original appearance of these products.
