Xie Gaohua is a thin and short middle-aged man, less than 1.65 meters tall, weighing at most around 90 pounds. Walking on the road, he looks like a cotton flower floating. However, it was this "cotton" that made the most stubborn decision of his life. In November 1982, he announced the official opening of the "Choucheng Small Commodity Market" and announced the "four permits": allowing farmers to do business, allowing long-distance trafficking, allowing the opening of urban and rural markets, and allowing many channels to compete. Among the four articles, 'allowing long-distance trafficking' is clearly contrary to the central document, and the other three articles have no legal basis to follow. Xie Gaohua issued the first business license of the small commodity market to a rural woman named Feng Aiqing, who later became a national news figure. In July 1983, the Yiwu County Government invested 580000 yuan to build a 220 acre shed style market, which was entirely covered with cement floors, steel frames, and glass tiles. This was the most advanced professional market in China at that time.
