What is the meaning of Gengchen year?
: Morning News reporter: Han Xiaoni
That year, it was 310102 ...
That year, Nanshi was merged into Huangpu. From then on, numbers starting with "310102".
That year, Shanghai’s property market was still divided into domestic sales and export sales, with the unit price of mid- to high-end homes ranging from 6,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan.
That year, Leslie Cheung came to Shanghai to hold a concert. It was the first time he came to the mainland to hold a concert, and unexpectedly it became his last time in Shanghai...
In 1999, 26-year-old Pu Shu sang "I Go to the Year 2000", full of hope for the new era. Thousands of years of anticipation.
Twenty years later, we will also go to the year 2000 to see what Shanghai was like at that time.

The Spring Festival in 2000 was on February 5th. That year was the Gengchen year of the lunar calendar, commonly known as the Year of the Dragon.
Chinese people have always had a dragon complex. Someone did the math:
The year 2000 is known as the "New Millennium". The entire millennium of the Gregorian calendar coincides with the Year of the Dragon. It will take "three thousand years to wait", and the next time will have to wait until 5000 (also the Year of Gengchen). .

The rapid development throughout the 1990s gave Shanghai a good start in the new millennium.
At that time, Shanghai had become the city with the most buildings in the world. By the end of 1999, there were 3,185 buildings with more than 8 floors.
You know, in 1990, there were only 739 buildings in Shanghai. In just ten years, the number has almost quadrupled.
Among them, many high-rise buildings are concentrated in Lujiazui, Pudong. The 420-meter, 88-story Jin Mao Tower was "one of the tallest buildings in Shanghai" at the time.

However, the Shanghai Financial Center next to it has passed the project approval, and it is only a matter of time before it reaches a new high. ——You also know the subsequent story. Lujiazui now has a “three-piece kitchen set”.
Pudong has delivered satisfactory results in the past ten years. The first Pudong New Area was established that year.
On the 10th anniversary of Pudong, a promotional poster was erected at the entrance of Yaohan. /Photo by Zhou Honggang
In Puxi, Huangpu District and Nanshi District were “removed to build one” in that year, and a new Huangpu District was established.
Since then, "Nanshi District" has retired from Shanghai's administrative map. Numbers starting with "310102" will follow.
However, as the location of "Shanghai Source", "Laonan City" is still a name that many Shanghainese dream about.

That year, Annie Baby, the first-generation Internet writer and now renamed "Qingshan", published the collection " Farewell to Vivian". The urban men and women she writes like to wear white cotton skirts and cotton shirts, and like bars, music and perfume.
The male protagonist in "Farewell to Vivian" of the same name lives in Shanghai. "Every morning he takes the subway to work at the company, buys a cup of hot coffee in the subway car, and drinks it while waiting for the bus. ”
At that time, the first phase of Metro Line 2 was officially opened to traffic after 9 months of trial operation. Six months later, the first phase of Metro Line 3 was opened for trial operation.
Near Zhongtan Road of Line 3, the outline of the "Cosco Two Bay City" reconstruction project of "Two Bays and One Lane" has emerged. /Photo by Wu Wenji
Oh, by the way, Shanghainese used to call Line 3 the "Pearl Line" at that time. During the trial operation, its driving interval is 30 minutes.
Compared with the 17 lines that now extend in all directions in Shanghai, as well as the driving intervals of several minutes during peak hours, we have to say that things have changed over the past 20 years.

In September of that year, the world’s attention turned to Australia, where Shanghai hosted the 27th Summer Games.

In her hometown, Shanghai Kangcheng immediately announced that it would give her a house.
Perhaps it is a marketing method. It is said that this real estate developer is gearing up to prepare 10 similar houses as gifts for Shanghai gold medal athletes.
The newspaper of that year published the news of the donation of houses in Kangcheng, Shanghai
In the end, Tao Luna and Wang Liqin each got a house. News at the time said it had an area of ??100 meters, two bedrooms and two living rooms, and was worth 300,000 yuan.
If you are good at math, you can do the math with your fingers. Yes, the unit price is 3,000 yuan.
At the beginning of the new millennium, from the Xujiahui business district, Xinhua Road and Hongqiao area in Changning District, to the southern part of Jing'an District, near Jianguo Road in Luwan District, and Ouyang Road in Hongkou District, the unit price of mid-to-high-end products in Shanghai is basically 6,000 Between RMB 1,000 and RMB 7,000.

Even the houses for export, which were originally high and out of reach, are also reducing their prices and switching from export sales to domestic sales.
For example, the Renda Apartment located at the intersection of Panyu Road and Pingwu Road has dropped from the original price of US$1,200/meter to 5,300 yuan/meter.
In the newspapers at that time, it was reported that the export-sold houses were transferred to domestic sales and sold at reduced prices
The price gap between domestic-sold houses and export-sold houses was filled, and it was reported that year The news of the merger of domestic and foreign sales houses has also become a matter of course.
Since then, export housing has gradually faded out of the historical stage of commercial housing in Shanghai.
At that time, Shanghai was really worried about encouraging citizens to spend money on housing.
The deed tax on real estate transactions has been reduced from the original 3% to 1.5%, of which half is the local subsidy, and citizens actually only pay 0.75%;
The purchase price paid by individuals to purchase commercial housing and Interest on house purchases can be deducted from the tax base of personal income tax within 5 years...

Looking back on 2000, many people sighed and regretted not buying a house. However, it still took courage to come up with savings and apply to buy a house.
After all, the per capita annual disposable income of urban households in Shanghai that year was only 11,718 yuan.
Many Shanghainese chose to take a small step first: buy the public housing where they live.
Before June 30, 2000, the price of single-use public housing in Shanghai was calculated at 1,198 yuan per meter of construction area.
Before the price adjustment, many districts and counties’ public housing departments saw people queuing up to buy houses.
Before the National Day that year, more than a thousand people queued up to buy residential public property rights at the Yangpu District Real Estate and Land Bureau Title Management Office every day. /Photo by Wang Zhaohui
What also makes many Shanghainese regret is that they did not seize the Shanghai stock market's cross-century bull market.
On July 19, 2000, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index reached the 2,000-point mark for the first time.
The Shanghai Composite Index started at more than 1,000 points on May 19, 1999, and reached a high of 2,245.44 points on June 14, 2001, doubling its increase in two years.

However, who can say for sure about stocks? After reaching its peak, the Shanghai stock market immediately began a three-year long bear market.
