The learning experience of opening and harmonious Guangzhou is 2 words.

The changes with Guangzhou characteristics can be said to be manifested in five aspects.

The first and most fundamental change can be said to be the change of Guangzhou's social status, from preparing for famine to attracting investment. The so-called frontier of preparing for war and preparing for famine means that before the reform and opening up, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macao were not unified into the embrace of the motherland, and there was a great possibility of confrontation. Because of its geographical location near Hong Kong and Macao, Guangzhou became the frontier of preparing for war, and it could not be the focus of domestic investment, and industrial and agricultural bases were not chosen here, so many people sneaked into Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan because of poverty. After the reform and opening up, it is precisely because of its geographical advantages close to Hong Kong and Taiwan that Guangdong took the lead in enjoying various preferential conditions of economic policies in the country and became the focus and pioneer city for attracting investment. Therefore, Guangzhou has turned into the frontier of reform and opening up, and various favorable conditions have made Guangzhou a paradise for doing business. Many people who sneaked into Hong Kong and Taiwan even came back with funds after the reform and opening up.

Secondly, due to the changes in Guangdong's political and economic life, it is inevitable that people will flow, and the direction will obviously change from north to south. Before and at the beginning of the reform and opening up, mainlanders were reluctant to live and work in Guangzhou. Young people who joined the army in Guangzhou were willing to return to the north after demobilization. That's because Guangdong's economy has not yet developed and living conditions are relatively difficult. It seems that there is no future for them to stay here. After the reform and opening-up, with the rapid development of the economy, the information received is fast and new, the income distribution system is flexible, the employment view is novel, and the dynamic Guangzhou area is increasingly attractive, which has become a place to attract and gather talents. Therefore, many talents from the mainland have gone south to find development space. At the same time, due to the rapid development of the city, infrastructure needs a lot of labor, and migrant workers working in the south have become a trend. There is even a saying that "East, West, North and South, make a fortune in Guangdong".

Thirdly, the concept of city has changed greatly, and the scope and connotation from the countryside to the city can't be compared with the past. People in Guangzhou are used to calling all places outside Guangzhou the countryside, which reflects not only the geographical differences, but also the economic, cultural and psychological differences, but we can't say this now. Due to the rapid development of downtown Guangzhou, the demand for land, environment and transportation facilities has expanded sharply, and the land use and infrastructure construction in downtown Guangzhou cannot support the sustainable development of the city, so the urban area has been expanding. Today's Guangzhou City is completely different from yesterday's Guangzhou City. At the same time, the economy of the towns around Guangzhou is also developing rapidly, and the difference between urban and rural areas is decreasing. Dongguan, Shenzhen, Shunde, Foshan and Nanhai are gradually connected with Guangzhou, and the former urban and rural areas have become large and small cities to form an urban agglomeration as a whole, forming the overall concept of the Pearl River Delta economic circle. This can not be said to be the direct result of investment, reform and opening up.

The fourth aspect is the change of people's interest in life, and people's pursuit of quality of life, which can be seen from the popularity of black sister toothpaste to the popularity of "Beauty in Flower City". In 1986, Guangzhou launched the "Black Girl" brand toothpaste, which is famous throughout the country for its pure and lively girl image in advertisements. With the household name of Heimei toothpaste, the beautiful early morning, wide streets, frolicking young girls and fashionable young people holding mobile phones in the advertisements convey a unique feeling of health, vitality, freshness, joy and confidence of Heimei. The name "black sister" has also become popular, and some people even call it "black sister" toothpaste because they are black. Its advertisements also reflected people's standards of beauty at that time, and the choice of brand for toothpaste also reflected people's quality of life at that time. Now, with the development of Guangzhou, the beauty pageant "Beauty in Flower City" has also affected the whole country, attracting not only contestants from Guangzhou, but also more and more people from all over the country. Guangzhou can be said to be the birthplace of the national beauty pageant. It introduced the entertainment mode of Hong Kong and Taiwan earlier, reflecting the concept of Guangzhou people, and gradually gained recognition. The change from black sister toothpaste to beauty in Huacheng can at least show that with the increasing number of migrants, the second generation of immigrants have grown up, which has greatly changed the diet and living habits of Guangzhou people, even reflected in their appearance.

fifthly, "the phenomenon of foreign goods in the distance and wide goods in the near future" can best explain the influence of Guangzhou's economic development on people's lives. In the early days of reform and opening up, due to production technology, technical equipment and other reasons, goods with good quality were mostly imported foreign goods, and people who pursued fashion liked to buy foreign goods for a while. However, with the development of productive forces and the deepening of investment, Guangzhou, with its advantages in the forefront of reform and opening up, has quickly mastered various advanced technologies, and wide-ranging goods have become popular. Many goods sold in the mainland are produced in Guangdong, and there was a saying that "eat Guangzhou grain and drink Pearl River water". For example, biscuits sold in the mainland are mostly produced in Guangdong. For example, Weihua and Kelijia are all Cantonese-style. All kinds of electrical appliances produced in Guangdong are novel and beautiful, and they are very influential in the whole country, and Guangdong's clothing styles often become the weather vane of the trend ... Guangdong products are fashionable and novel, and the wide range of goods has taken the lead in both the variety of products and the market adaptability of enterprises, and gradually formed a brand effect. Manufacturers all over the country like to purchase goods in Guangzhou. This change from chasing foreign goods to chasing wide goods not only reflects the pioneering spirit of Cantonese people, but also shows people's yearning for Cantonese people who are at the forefront of reform and opening up and have developed economy and culture.
