CCTV news: I believe that many people will not be unfamiliar with this iconic figure on the mainland's third set of renminbi "one yuan". The prototype of this character is Named Liang Jun, the first female tractor driver in New China, and the earliest builder of the Northern Wilderness.
How desolate was the Northern Wilderness at that time? There is such a saying, 60 miles as a neighbor, 30 miles north and south Kang. At that time, the sowing horse was used to pull the seeder, 4 horses and a planter, one person supporting the back, and one driving the horse. Shoveling, cultivating soil, harvesting, and harvesting grain all rely on labor.
In 1948, at the age of 18, Liang Jun attended a training course for tractors in Bei'an, Heilongjiang, and was the only female student among the more than 70 students in the class. In 1959, when the first batch of Dongfanghong domestic tractors arrived in Heilongjiang, Liang Jun could not help but jump up and take a circle of excitement. This scene was permanently fixed on the third set of one-dollar notes, becoming the common memory of generations of Chinese, and that excitement is also timeless to this day.
Liang Jun's dream is to "turn the wasteland into a fertile field", and for decades, she has interpreted labor creation with youth and achieved dreams with struggle. From beidahuang to Beidacang, for more than 70 years, generation after generation of builders have come and gone, and for decades, they have worked hard to start a business and strive for self-improvement. Today, the Northern Wilderness, which produced only 0.048 million kilograms of grain per year, has been stable at more than 40 billion kilograms per year for more than 10 consecutive years, which can meet the one-year ration supply of 160 million urban and rural residents. From the inaccessible "mangy wasteland" to the rich and abundant "Chinese rice bowl", laborers, laborers, have brought great changes to the Northern Wilderness!
