a Xi'an purchase voucher at the upper left corner says "one point", what does it mean What? It is true that we can not afford to lose any more, and we can not measure it with units of measurement. The other two tickets on the left are food stamps and egg coupons for sale. The cost of a city is about 5 grams. And the right side of the soap coupons is 0.1 yuan, imagine a small soap, and then cut a small piece of paper, I am afraid I can not wash clothes several times. (data)
more meticulous than Shao Gencai, I'm afraid not much. He made a personal history file for five family members. Inside, he attached the certificate, information, even the toy invoice and the home appliance instruction to all the people who had been born. He also collected more than 30 thousand tickets for the planned economy throughout the country, and some of them did not necessarily see all the old people who experienced that age. These are only a very small part of his collection.
home becomes storeroom
today, Shao Gencai has a exclusive collection at the District Archives of his hometown in Fengxian, which contains a collection of tickets and home history, and most of the collections are still in their own homes. On the balcony, in the living room... Even tiny crevice, he was filled with various collections -- the black album of revolutionary model operas, and the photos of Shanghai old Shaoxing opera actors. Shen Huijuan, a wife, told Shao Gencai that he had "turned a good home into a storeroom". However, those who are familiar with the old age know that a large proportion of these treasures were returned to Shanghai by their families when they moved back from Guangxi to Hong Kong 32 years ago. After
returned to Shanghai in 1985, Shao Gencai's collection "addiction" was out of control. At that time, the food stamps were useless, and other tickets gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Shao Gencai moved to do a collection of "Shanghai old people's ticket" collection of brains. Every weekend, he took a loaf of bread and mounted the motorcycle and set off. First, they knocked on the door of the old street and asked for the invalid ticket. They also printed many business cards to the waste collector, and begged the other side to pay attention. Later, I went to a grain management office in various districts and counties of Shanghai to ask for collection. Of course, empty handed return is also a common occurrence. Most letters sent to various units to find tickets are lost.
harvest surprise
8 years, Shao Gencai's total group of 6 tickets collection, covering food supply card, feed supply card, daily industrial products purchase certificate, non-staple food purchase certificate and other 8 series, as well as thousands of five kinds of subdivision tickets, such as flower ticket, sesame ticket, shoe ticket, Line tickets, MSG tickets, sanitary paper tickets, rag tickets and so on. It is also the best proof of the old life of Shanghai's citizens.
in addition, Shao Gencai has also gained a lot of "surprises". Between 1958 and 1982, the most exotic tickets in all parts of the country were basically in his hands - the smallest grain coupon, oil ticket and cloth ticket. The smallest grain ticket and so on. In 2009, Shao Gencai's ticket collection was recorded in the 12 largest and 20 largest collections in the world.
