When I first started working in 1990, there was an old man who was a janitor and had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He was a platoon commander transferred to a local prison. Told me a lot of stories about the heroes of the Volunteer Army. What puzzled me very much was that he later voluntarily gave up his status as a cadre and voluntarily asked to be a worker.
It turned out that after he transferred to the local prison, he soon got married and started a family, and gave birth to 11 children one after another. The burden of providing for a family is getting heavier. At that time, cadres were paid a monthly salary, and monthly food stamps were also rationed. On the whole, it is not as good as the treatment of workers, who earn daily wages and supply more grain than cadres. So in order to support his family, he offered to give up his status as a cadre and become an ordinary worker. This was a rarity in their time.
A volunteer hero, who returned to the local area to be treated as a cadre as a worker, and even offered to be a worker as a worker? This is the true story of that era. At that time, the cadres not only did not pay as much as the workers, but also took the lead everywhere, and really played a vanguard and exemplary role, so that the workers below would be convinced of you and willing to work hard with you. At that time, it was common for one person to earn a wage to support a family of seven or eight people. Compared with the present, many people have sharpened their heads and want to climb up as cadres, and the treatment of many leading cadres and ordinary workers is 108,000 miles behind. Two generations of a family have to pay off the mortgage in order to get married, and the limited salary income is stretched thin, which is really different from what it used to be, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
