Shigang Town's Shigang Glory and Past

From 65438 to 0970, the thought of "preparing for war shortage" ruled the whole province. In order to cope with the situation, some units and factories in Fuhe District (that is, parts of Xihu District) moved to Shigang Town.

1972 to 1989 Chen Chuanxiang, director of the Party Office and member of the Party Committee of Shigang Town, told reporters that some factories in Fuhe District of Nanchang City were moved to Shigang that year. "There are Jiangxi Second Chemical Plant, Jiangxi National Pharmaceutical Factory and Nanchang Rubber Factory. There are 93 factories. " At the same time, many units were relocated and established, such as Fuhe Transportation Company, municipal engineering team, bus station, post office and department store.

At that time, Fuhe District Committee established a party branch in Shigang, namely, "Branch Committee of Nanchang Shigang District Preparatory Relocation Headquarters", and Shigang was placed under the direct management of Nanchang City. Part of Fuhe District was "moved" to Shigang Town, 45 kilometers away, which formed a complete urban system.

The population of this town has increased tenfold.

Under the guidance of combat readiness, the remote and quiet hill of Shigang, like a pot of "boiling water", suddenly boiled. In an instant, a small town with only 2000 people has become an industrialized town with more than 20000 people.

Nine new streets have been built in the town: Jinggangshan Avenue, Ninggang Road, Yongxin Road, Ruijin Road, Xingguo Road, Sanwan Road, Anyuan Road, Chen Bo Road and Huanhu Road. The state invested 654.38 billion yuan in housing construction alone. In Tanjie Village, there are construction workers from all over the province, and the streets are full of materials. "No one will take care of it, and it will not be stolen."

The "new immigrants" from Nanchang get along well with the local people in Shigang. Ge told a story: Shigang went to Nanchang by bus at that time, and the fare was 1.05 yuan. Once, a Nanchang man wanted to take a bus, but he only had 1 yuan. A shigang man readily took out 50 cents to help him out. Later, Nanchang people introduced him a lot of business in order to express their gratitude. Everyone in the village said that he made a fortune because of 5 cents.

Culture plastic city

Eight technical secondary schools settled in Shigang.

With the downfall of the Gang of Four, Shigang, an industrial town with a population of more than 20,000 and 100 units and factories, dispersed in a hubbub within a few months, and the factories moved back to Nanchang city one after another, and the population returned to the city one after another. Shigang suddenly became an "empty city".

What about the remaining houses with a building area of more than 200,000 square meters and the "half-pull" infrastructure houses with a building area of more than 9,000 square meters after the construction of Shigang was dismounted? Chen Chuanxiang recalled that in order to protect state property and make use of existing houses, the Provincial Revolutionary Committee decided to set up 1 1 technical secondary school in Shigang in July 1973. Since then, eight schools have moved to Shigang, namely: Jiangxi Electric Power Industry School, Jiangxi Water Conservancy and Electric Power School, Jiangxi Literature and Art School, Jiangxi Health School, Jiangxi Light Chemical Industry School, Jiangxi Bank School, Jiangxi Communications School and Jiangxi Machinery Industry School.

1973 10, Jiangxi Literature and Art School was the first to move to Shigang. At this point, the Shigang area has changed from the original industrial city to the cultural satellite city of Nanchang.

It used to be a sacred place in the hearts of young people.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Shigang was a place that many young people yearned for. This is a sacred place for learning and a cultural milestone. A local resident surnamed Chen told reporters that he lived in the mountain behind Jiangxi Jiaotong School. At 6 o'clock every morning, many students in the school go up the mountain to read and run in the morning. Tang, a native of Shigang, once worked in the canteen of Jiangxi Literature and Art School. He told reporters that the literary school at that time was brilliant, and it was also the most concentrated place of "handsome guys and beautiful women" in Shigang Town and even around it.

The secondary development not only makes Shigang Town a cultural satellite city, but also greatly promotes the local social and economic development. Huang Liangxing, the 68-year-old former head of Shigang Township, told reporters that at that time, Shigang had its own "department store"-Anyuan Shopping Mall, with all kinds of goods; I have my own Xinhua Bookstore, and many people read books on Sundays. Have their own restaurant, "all moved from Nanchang", with high grade; There are two vegetable markets where it is convenient to buy meat, eggs and vegetables. "What is the boundary of the stone hill? The intersection of Fengcheng, Gao' an and Anyi counties is so hot! " Huang Benign said excitedly.

Township merger "return to calm"

However, this situation did not last long. With the change of the situation, starting from July 1977, eight provincial technical secondary schools moved back to the urban area one after another, and teachers and students left Shigang Town one after another. In this way, the "cultural city" of Shigang has once again become an "empty city".

In view of this situation, in 1987, the provinces and cities merged Shigang Town of Nanchang City with Shigang Township of Xinjian County to form Shigang Town of Xinjian County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xinjian County. At this point, after 17 years of construction and two "butterfly changes", Shigang, a small town in the southwest corner of Nanchang, was calm, broke away from the "embrace of Nanchang" and embarked on a new development path.

will not come

The old satellite city will build a small and medium-sized industrial park.

During the interview, walking on the streets of Shigang and looking at the buildings left decades ago, the reporter can vaguely feel the prosperity of this cultural satellite city.

According to Zhou Hui, Party Secretary of Shigang Town, as of 20 13, there were 24 administrative villages, 1 neighborhood committee and 1 community with a population of over 50,000. The cultural atmosphere of Shigang Town is still strong. From 65438 to 0997, it was rated as "Top 100 Cultural Centers" in the province, and Shigang Plum Candle was also included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage. In the future, the town will start the construction of Shigang small and medium-sized industrial park, complete the construction of the town cultural complex, transform the roads in and out of Shigang, and set up a public town center kindergarten. ...

"Shijiazhuang has a glorious past, but we are looking forward to a bright future. What we are doing now is to promote the all-round economic and social development of the whole town with the development of market towns and let the people live a better life. I believe that the future of Shigang will be better. " Zhou Hui told reporters.

Cinema, the spiritual home of Shigang people

On the most magnificent Jinggangshan Avenue in Shigang Town, there is an abandoned cinema. Speaking of it, everyone in Shigang knows it. It used to be the only cinema in Siliba Township and the spiritual home of many people.

Ge, a resident of Shigang, still remembers that going to the movies on Sunday is the most exciting thing. "Tickets are difficult to buy, and they have to be two or three days in advance." The cinema has 1200 seats and is divided into upper and lower floors. The most popular movies are Shangganling, Heroes and Children, Dream of Red Mansions and so on. On the rest day, the cinema was packed, and even the aisle was full of people. Movies were the greatest spiritual enjoyment of small town people at that time. They laughed and wept, enjoying life with the movies.

Stepping into the cinema again, everything changed. The gate that was once regarded as "sacred and inviolable" by Ge Liangjie can be easily entered, but there are no more seats and screens in the screening hall. What appeared in front of the reporter was a huge white wall with wild trees growing on it, and several chickens were foraging around in the ruins. Looking up, there is only a semicircular arch beam on the roof. The sun shines on this once mysterious and noisy place, leaving countless people remembering their youth.
