State-run Huixing Cotton Spinning Mill in Memory---Written at the Official Opening of Sanmenxia Wanda Plaza? (Author: Old Tree?)

Huixing Cotton Spinning Mill is one of the thirty-six key projects of the technological revolution identified by the State Science and Technology Commission during China's third five-year plan. From the preparations in 1965, the end of civil construction in 1966, trial production in 1967, the first dragon officially put into production on April 25, 1968, opened the prelude to the production of Huixing.

Hui Xing Cotton Spinning Mill's construction and development, roughly experienced five periods:

1, 1965 to 1969, the preparation and construction period;

2, 1970 to 1978, the period of development of the difficult twists and turns;

3, 1978 to 1984, the focus of the transfer, the period of enterprise reorganization;

4, 1985 to 1991, enterprise reform, production development period;

5, 1992 to 1995, the turnaround system, into the market economy period;

6, 2006 will be the restructuring of the Xing Cotton Spinning Mills, forty years of life end of life.

In the forty years of history, let us remember these for the Huixing Cotton Spinning Mill preparation, construction of the old leaders He Xiangrui, Pei Yonghe, Liu Guanghua, Hu Xikun, Lv Xitian, Xu Chongjiang, Li Yuxiang, Chen Xinhui, Li Shuqin, Yu Genyan, Lu Sulan, Wang Yaohua, Lang Yushun, Zhang Juxia, as well as the end of the Cotton Spinning Mill, Shang Jianzhang.

This is the gate of Huixing Cotton Spinning Mill, not the earliest, it should have been built in the early 1980s. The previous gate would have been a simple janitor's room with two concrete plastered gateposts. Anyone who has an earlier photo, send it to me and I'll add it when I re-edit.

Is this the former spinning room?

This process is now the same process as the photo above.

What shop equipment is this? I don't know if it's appropriate to line it up here according to the production process.

The yarn workshop, where my mother worked as a stopper when she was young.

Is this the preparation workshop?

To the final process, the cloth machine workshop, writing here I suddenly questioned? Why not call it weaving workshop?

Becoming a cloth machine girl, this work is not easy, at that time there is a saying that "the front spinning is dirty, the yarn is busy, the cloth machine girl runs out of intestines".

This is a photo from the 1960s, and the traces of the Cultural Revolution clearly tell us the era in which the story took place.

The young people in the photo are our elders. They were so young and beautiful at that time. Who can tell us their names, write them in the message, and perhaps find their current photos to tell us what it means to age.

This is already in the eighties, and there are already images of the elder brothers in the photos.

This is the last factory, although at this time this factory is no longer called Huixing Cotton Spinning Factory.

Demolition began at this point.

Only half of the factory office building remains, from which the future West Peace Road will run west.

Without the building to rely on, towering high-voltage poles jutted out from the roadside.

The Wanda Plaza construction started from this pit.

Fifty years of history, was completely demolished. Future newcomers will not know the once state-run Huixing Cotton Spinning Factory, only the lively and prosperous Wanda Plaza.

At 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2016, Sanmenxia Wanda Plaza officially opened to welcome guests, and people flocked in. As of 12:00 noon, the Wanda Plaza opened for half a day, the traffic exceeded 100,000 people.

History has turned a new page.

The state-run Huixing Cotton Spinning Mill from 1965 to build, so far has been fifty years. As the second generation in the cotton mill grew up, although not worked in the factory, but the feelings of the factory, is still unforgettable. Half a year ago, I went back to the Cotton Spinning Factory compound where I had lived for more than ten years, and took some photos of the old family building which has a history of nearly fifty years, which aroused the memories of how many people in the compound. Many people want to make a photo album of the factory's photos, as a souvenir, and take the initiative to save the photos sent to me, and even some students to find the Huixing Cotton Spinning Factory Factory Journal, only because I did not work in the factory, the factory's history or lack of overall concept, hesitation for many days, can not write.

Today, the Wanda Plaza opened, this mega shopping plaza is located in the original factory of Huixing Cotton Spinning Factory, today's Wanda Plaza North Gate is the original Huixing Cotton Spinning Factory factory gate main road. The former Central Textile Industry Department directly under the cotton textile new technology model factory, completed its historical mission, retired two into three, became today's Sanmenxia City, the most prosperous commercial center.

Finally, here I would like to thank my classmates, hairy Xu Huiying, Zhou Haoying, Yang Liping, Pan Lihong, and so on, and my brother Wang Huajin, it is they who gave me the photos and related information, so that there is this beautiful piece. At the same time, I feel that this thing would be too rough if it is called a work, and I also hope that students and friends who see it, send your comments and additional information to me, so that it can be modified and supplemented to improve.
