This article is mainly to relay to you a passage from the old workers in Tiexi. After hearing this, I felt a little heavy in my heart, and it was not easy to simply judge right and wrong. Let's listen to it, he talked about a set of enterprise management experience summed up by the mainland Anshan Iron and Steel Company in the early 60s of the 20th century.

Chairman Mao attached great importance to this experience, to what extent? It has been raised to the level of the Constitution, that is, "two references, one reform, and three combinations."

The veteran worker said: Around the 60s of the last century, Chairman Mao vigorously advocated the implementation of the "Angang Constitution." The "Anshan Iron and Steel Constitution" of "two participation, one reform and three combinations" means that the party committee leads everything and ensures that the factory does not remain private. While the factory director is responsible for daily management, he also has to work in the workshop, so that he can avoid production loss and understand the situation on the front line at the same time. The most direct significance of the workers' election of workers' representatives to participate in the management of the factory is to supervise the cadres not to fall into bureaucracy.

In the later era of rapid advance, Chairman Mao called for promoting production while grasping the revolution, and even if the workers in the factory were divided into two factions, it did not affect production. Everyone is curious, won't "fighting a faction war" affect production?

According to the old worker's explanation, at that time, only by doing a good job in production can your faction be able to establish its authority, and if your faction is not good at production, you will be caught by the other faction in the braids. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the workers at that time was very high, and the factory not only did not stop production, but also increased the output a lot, of course, this was partly due to scientific innovation.

The veteran worker also said that in the past, people did not talk about material rewards, but about production contributions. At that time, the wages of old skilled workers were higher than those of factory managers.

After the reform and opening up, the factory carried out the tenure responsibility system of the factory director and profit contracting. The factory director has "people, money, and materials" in one hand, and the party committee, trade union, and workers' congress are in vain. The factory director only stares at the production management and does not go down to the workshop, and the workers only work and do not supervise, and the workers only work and do not supervise. It has also set up separate propaganda and organization departments to increase the number of management cadres in disguise.

In terms of treatment, at this time, the middle-level and above managers of the enterprise generally get high bonuses, and even if the workers work hard, they do not get much bonuses. In the eyes of these old workers, this is a world away from what it used to be.

If the workers are not allowed to participate in the management, the factory director and secretary will not come to the workshop, and the money earned will mainly belong to the boss and the manager. Since then, the society and the media have begun to have the propaganda slogan of "iron rice bowl to raise lazy people", and everyone is talking about it, saying that the efficiency of such factories is getting lower and lower.

The superiors saw that this could not be done without the leadership of the party committee, and there must be a party secretary in name, so the factory director was concurrently appointed as the secretary of the party committee, and as a result, the power of the factory director was confirmed, and conditions were created for later corruption.

In addition, the subsequent appropriations to loans and counterfeit and shoddy products have squeezed the living space of state-owned enterprises everywhere, so that the efficiency of factories has continued to decrease. Private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises have preferential tax treatments, while state-owned enterprises also have to bear the housing, medical care, and pension of their workers, resulting in large-scale losses in factories, and forced workers to reduce their staff and lay off their jobs, and finally have to restructure.

Workers were forced to go home for very little money, especially those in their forties and fifties who were skilled. They have been apprentices since they were 18 years old, working in factories, and suddenly they are kicked into society and have to fend for themselves.

The old workers added that at that time, they were thinking that the country was in trouble and should share the country's worries, but what they couldn't stand the most was that it had fattened the people in the factory who had power. A large amount of land in the factory area has built office buildings. There is a lot of money just for renting and selling houses, and all this money goes into personal pockets.

I would like to emphasize that I am not talking about a specific factory. The old worker didn't say which factory he belonged to, and the story had a certain universality in some provinces and cities for a certain period of time.

Great achievements have been made in reform and opening up, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping advocated that the first rich lead the latter to become rich, and then achieve common prosperity. Therefore, if we only talk about "getting rich first," it is not Deng Xiaoping Theory.

Comrade Deng Xiaoping's complete expression is "let some people get rich first, and then lead the poor to get rich, so as to achieve common prosperity." If we say that reform and opening up is the road to strengthening the country, the four cardinal principles are the foundation of the country, and upholding and upholding socialism is the Chinese road that Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly followed.

It can be seen that this 70-year-old Tiexi worker is quite high-level, and he is able to tell from his own personal experience about the changes in the factory where he works.

I think this is at least his summary and combing of a specific period of his life, which is worth listening to. Of course, I would also like to hear what you think and feel about the old worker's statement.
