With the substantial increase in residents' income, the structure of household durable goods consumption is changing. By the late 1980s, the "new six" (color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, tape recorders, electric fans and cameras), once in short supply, formed the second round of consumption hot spots. As the supply of goods exceeded the demand at that time, the market adopted the use of vouchers. According to the survey, in 1988, every 100 households had an average of 51 color TVs, 77 washing machines, 81 electric fans, 18 refrigerators and 9 cameras.
