1983 Bu Xin's birth year

The great wall will never fall.

The Yellow River flows endlessly for thousands of miles,

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, with overlapping colorful peaks and ridges,

What does it look like to be infected in my country?

——The theme song of the Hong Kong TV drama "Huo Yuanjia", 1983

On January 3rd, the first supermarket in China opened in Haidian District, Beijing. It is only 200 square meters in size and cannot accommodate 100 customers at once. It only sells vegetables and meat, and is 5% to 40% more expensive than nearby markets. The vast majority of Beijing residents came in curiously and immediately stuck out their tongues to escape. The buyers were almost all foreigners who complained that the packaging only had the price without the product name and quality, so they often bought chicken as pork.

In January, a London based "Asia and Middle East Investment Limited" established a "China Investment Capital Fund" with a total amount of $10 million. According to a report by The Asian Wall Street Journal, this is the first investment fund specifically designed for China, which will be divided into 100 equal parts and invested in "medium-sized industrial enterprises with development potential, newly built or existing". This news was reprinted by Reference News, but it doesn't seem to have caught anyone's attention. At that time, 'investment fund' was a term that was too unfamiliar and distant.
