On November 27, 1978, Liu Chuanzhi, a 34-year-old engineering technician at the Institute of Computing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, went to work on time. Before entering the office, he went to the communication room to carry a hot water bottle, joked with the old security guard, and then took out the People's Daily of the day from the letter with his name written. Generally speaking, he would spend the whole morning reading the newspaper. More than 20 years later, he recalled:

"I remember that in 1978, I first saw an article on how to raise cattle in the People's Daily, which made me very excited. Since the "Cultural Revolution", newspapers have been full of revolution, struggle, and editorial. At that time, raising chickens and growing vegetables were all seen as capitalist tails and were about to be cut off, and the People's Daily actually published articles on raising cattle. The climate is really changing!"

Judging from the information we are looking for now, Liu Chuanzhi, who founded the famous Lenovo Group in the future, may have some memory loss. Because in the already yellowed People's Daily, there is no article on how to raise cattle, but there is a scientific news about raising pigs. On the third page of the newspaper, there is a long report titled "The masses have created experience in accelerating the pig farming industry", which detailed the introduction of new methods for how Guangxi and Tongxian County, Beijing to improve the efficiency of pig farming, such as "one head can be sold and the other head can be slaughtered by yourself", "new methods for implementing public-owned sharing of breeding", etc. What Liu Chuanzhi should have seen is this news release.
