Tickets are the most representative products under the planned economy system. China's ticket history can be described as a dignified and energetic history of the Chinese nation's entrepreneurship, a history of Chinese descendants' struggle against poverty and hunger, a history of China's agriculture, commerce, industry and service industry, and a true portrayal and proof of China's planned economy. The snowflake refrigerator that my family still uses today is an old object that witnessed the history of New China, because it was bought by ticket, which can clearly reflect the way people bought goods and their living conditions under the planned economy system in China in the 1980s.

I have used my snowflake refrigerator for twenty years. Its simple appearance, simple style and narrow storage space once made me very disgusted and told my parents many times; "Who is still using this broken refrigerator? Small and ugly. Hurry and change one! " But parents always say; "How good the quality of this refrigerator is! You see, the cooling effect is still so good after so many years! "

Later, by chance, I heard my parents talk about things many years ago and talked about this refrigerator. To my surprise, it is much bigger than me. My parents bought it with an electric ticket when they got married. Based on this calculation, it should be 1988. According to my parents, it took a lot of effort to buy such a refrigerator. First, because there was no electricity ticket at home at that time, I couldn't buy any money under the planned economy system, so I had to try my best to borrow it from my relatives. Second, because the Snow Brand refrigerator was a famous brand product with the best performance at that time, it was expensive. More than 2,000 yuan was not a small sum at that time, and my parents discussed it for a long time before deciding to buy it. Although the price was so high, the snow refrigerator once became the leading product in the electrical industry at that time with its good performance and reputation. This is a very nervous product, and not everyone can buy it by e-ticket. In the end, my parents got what they wanted. After that, this refrigerator settled in my house and has been used until now.

After listening to this little story, I gradually got tired of this small and ugly refrigerator. Because I think it has contributed a lot to our family for so many years, and it has never been "noisy", which is really hard to get. It stays quietly in my small kitchen every day and stores fresh vegetables and fruits for us all the time, which is still a little credit of this family! Most importantly, it also witnessed the history of New China and recorded the planned economy system that China once implemented.

From 65438 to 0953, China announced the implementation of the first "five-year plan" and planned economy. Planned economy is the planned production of social data products, the planned supply of goods and the planned distribution of units and individuals. In order to meet the basic needs of people's life, the most effective method at that time was to issue various commodity tickets and distribute them to units or urban residents in a planned way. So the ticket came into being naturally. My snowflake refrigerator not only witnessed the planned economy system that our country once implemented, but also witnessed the ticket history of our country. Now it is really a rare old thing, which is worth cherishing.
