Dongguan, more time is the embodiment of symbols, rather than a geographical name. In 2015, China's tolerance of main cities list, and ranked first in Dongguan, Dongguan on this list, is still a symbol.
When Chinese farmers, was described as Chinese migrant workers in Dongguan ears the most high profile is one of the most tragic. And when reading when the rich in China, Dongguan can be defined as having one of the invisible billionaires than any other city.
When critics of China's development path, Dongguan can be blamed for the low end of the distribution center for processing trade enterprises. Times call for China's economic vitality, Dongguan can be sought after as "made in China", "mode of Dongguan" representatives.
People lament the flavor of in living color in Dongguan, but accused it of obscenity. Such as a recent one, CCTV unprecedented high intensity exposure, creating another mighty Dongguan "anti-vice" action. Even more amazing is that CCTV even rare broadcast of the famous so-called "WAN service" clear and uncensored images.
These arguments became more serious, and more into a paranoid. Semiotic interpretation of excessive, Dongguan has never really been transparent for outsiders to understand, but because of the chaos of value judgment, less knowable and full of suspense.
Urban and rural areas
Often look at a city, understand a geography, just in the city looking for a few slices, you can find out, but not in Dongguan. First of all, we cannot be absolutely sure where Dongguan.
Dongguan is one of the few Chinese several districts of the city. Recently the 56, Dongguan officially rely on the large and rapid city movement gradually established its urban centers. Still, Dongguan actually is made up of 32 towns and its maze of hundreds of villages.
Each Avatar in Dongguan are members of China's thousand-strong town, so each town from the appearance point of view, is like a city. More outsiders do not know is that, although they are not to be ignored in China economic town, but there are very different development patterns. Even on economic equivalent, also there is a difference.
Specifically, Dong Guan, is made up of 32 development unbalanced town city.
"Town" form in Dongguan is a vague status. If you witnessed the appearance of many town, Dongguan Street, you will find that, although sitting on more than 10 million people, but many on the streets of the town, barely visible. Most of the population live in the factory. In the town, we can also say, is largely made up of 32 Super industrial zone, Dongguan city.
But it is still incomplete.
Because you are most likely in the middle high-rise communities and found some small piece of farmland. You can't joke of this unique landscape. 2 million population is mostly farmers in Dongguan. More affluent they become public is not looking forward to.
This remains incomplete. Dongguan now is more like 60 's of last century in Hong Kong. Free brutal economic growth of private and foreign investment and 32 towns are rarely neat urban planning of Dongguan, Dongguan as a whole looked messy. However in this messy but naturally ordered, all follow the rule: to facilitate production.
Urban operations experts believe that in Guangzhou and Foshan, between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Dongguan, more like in between New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, New Jersey, a network in medium and small towns into cities. New Jersey passed the University building and ecological reconstruction, transformed into a livable city. Dongguan seems to go this route, the past few years invested more than 50 billion yuan to improve the natural environment. Dongguan's officials say, this is reimbursement of economic development environmental debts.
Although some people find it incredible, but the Governors in Dongguan, Dongguan, has been determined to have a livable city.
Now may explain why Dongguan over the years of observation, not always convincing. Because all the observations were not as 32 small town in Dongguan.
If you look to the shoe industry in houjie town hit by the financial crisis is huge, Tangxia Town, that does not mean the depression. Similarly, if you know of a labour shortage in the town information, that does not mean the town next to it will make workers.
Land and Lakes
However, Dongguan has not always been so strangely vague. 30 years ago, Dongguan, is pure country. At that time, lakes of the North is rich in Dongguan, Canal, and convenient transportation, seafood rice. While its southern border with Shenzhen is barren mountain areas, the poor have no food to eat.
The reform and opening up, everything seems to be upside down. Relinquish all land, suddenly had a tremendous economic value. When the Government still does not have enough manpower to receive financial, hundreds of village farmers in Dongguan factory holds land into his own voice.
This formed a completely different context of urbanization of land development with the Mainland. In "legal" under the environment of poor farmers instantly rich. After 30 years, Dongguan 70% land has urbanization or industrialization. Barren mountains 30 years ago, because there are large areas of land turned into a powerhouse, and become the most fertile area of Dongguan.
Traditional water town, becoming a loser competition. Reform and opening up, rivers and agricultural products, is still on the Hong Kong market hit. Locals don't need factories, food and clothing. However when people realize that industrialization and urbanization of the South richer when opportunities are gone.
Dongguan, even water, trying to keep up the pace of urban construction, but also a bit powerless. Their land is not only the land, but was hit out of the sand of the river. Built on sand Foundation of tall buildings, you have to transport debris from the outside.
High input costs, high water costs of urbanization of Dongguan, also makes investments in more urbanized and step back.
Water has now become a hindrance.
Humen, Dongguan, Yue Wan the old pier, connected to the sea and estuary. 63 Hooper drove 8 horsepower of small boats in the sea waves. Hooper is a typical fishermen in Humen, was born in a fishing boat to spend, even if there is no wind in the sea of the cabin awake. But he caught fish of the day, would be able to make more than 10 bucks.
Hooper is one of Humen in the final more than more than 2000 fishermen. These people who return from the ocean and became the lowest and poorest one in Dongguan. Fishermen lacked most of the land, the whole land area of fishing is not more than a square kilometer, and in today's market, no factories can be rented. Adult fishermen more than 90% are junior high school and culture, few are able to adapt to the modern factory work. To accommodate fishermen, the local Government developed a "zero burden" project, newly-built group of houses to accommodate the houseless and fishermen below the per capita housing area of 18 square meters. There are cheaper but also cramped.
Wandering home
Dongguan is not imagined, the local population are millionaires. Drifting out of the land of population and capital flows, and Dongguan, to make a miracle.
In fact, Dongguan not since reform and opening up has become a city of population flows. It has been in immigration. As early as the Qing dynasty Xianfeng, Dongguan, large numbers of young workers had been selling "fooled" into Southeast Asia. Subsequent years, Dongguan people continue to flee, the run continued until the late 1970 's. Especially the giant fled to Hong Kong.
Called Dongguan memorabilia has the record: border statistics of the Office of the leading group for port Affairs of the Guangdong provincial party Committee from 1954 to 1980, expressly events over more than 565,000 people have fled to Hong Kong.
Especially the 1970 's, Hong Kong lacks low-end labor force, in 1974, the British Hong Kong Government to "touch base" policy as long as illegal immigrants avoid the border blocked, into the city to get a place to live or to meet with loved ones, will be entitled to residence.
Flee, death, courage and luck. Until October 26, 1980, overwhelmed Hong Kong ending the "touch base" policy, then removed all possibility of illegal immigrants to obtain legal status.
Context of immigration since the start of this great changes have taken place. Dongguan escape is no longer, but rushed outside. Despite the economic downturn but the Chinese
In 1993, the Lo Wu/Shenzhen crowds Taiwan people Zhang Xifan children dared not to lay down their arms, lest the child be the crowds dispersed. He tried to put his arm around the child, stood for more than three hours in the crowd, finally moved into Shenzhen, Dongguan, and his destination was.
Two years ago, the Golden Gate served the KMT veteran, after years of soaking by hostile propaganda, to unknown or known as the dangerous "Red China." In the wilderness in the weeds in Changping town, Dongguan, his small factory was born. At that time only one telephone in the town street in Dongguan, one minute value of RMB 17. Phone can only hear "Hello Hello Hello" sound. Have no phone home and Zhang Xifan fax customer dialogue. So each fax paper to write places are covered.
Business at the beginning, he even for several days without washing until a container shipped to Dongguan, Zhang Xifan tongue feel familiar with toothpaste flavor. Zhang Xifan crying on a.
100,000 Taiwan people, followed a different path a similar interpretation of the story, groups of immigrants in Dongguan, the ups and downs in the market fighting. People became wealthy, it has been reduced to in Taiwan sells tea on the street. The Rover becoming one of the most unique group of Dongguan.
And like them, millions of farmers on the Mainland in the late 1980 's, drag with fellow recommended, family and friends, or even strangers in the Guangzhou bus terminal in executing our feet, went to Dongguan.
Many of them don't even know what factory a few blocks behind the next door and what looks like. But their one month home save money even more than a year's salary.
Dongguan without gold, eventually drift 10 million farmers in drift, 100,000 Taiwanese adrift, tens of thousands of Hong Kong the arrival of gold was brutally overrun.
Sweet talked with cotton, wine
Funny thing is, the growth in industrial explosive, but let Dongguan to their sense of culture and memory to produce a trance. Industrial crude always, mercenary and bloody and primitive accumulation. Agriculture memories of 30 years ago, is idyllic sentiment, more memorable.
Now in Dongguan, eager to find new spirit and the image of the city. New image and tried to avoid "made in China" means, and pursuit of livability elements. Livable is the product of the post-industrial era, so you need to cast off industry body.
Seeking sweet talked the memory, can be seen as the city's economic geography redefined itself a symbol.
Dongguan-Dongguan Word has been written from top to bottom half of the network to the brainwave reviews current events, in fact, this is known as Guan grass weeds and a spice called sweet talked about. Guan grass can be used to make sturdy clothing. Sweet talked is sweet talked part of the tree. As a traditional spice, it has a powerful allure for the rich.
The Wan grass and sweet talked the Dongguan times the main memory of the agricultural economy. When the Ming dynasty, Wan Xiang are exported to overseas. Collect sweet talked of terminals, ports, experienced a long-term play, finally has a name, called Hong Kong. Or it can be said that Dongguan feeding later, Pearl of the Orient.
Dongguan liaobu town, Xiang Jie. A more than 200-metre long alley, fragrance for hundreds of years. Historical records, ignorance of liaobu, transaction tree sweet talked of thousands a day, customers from Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and wait in line. So, liaobu wealthy.
But sweet talked the teeth brilliant Xiang Jie failed to maintain the late Qing dynasty. On one hand, perfume, spices, China gradually in the West, the traditional sweet talked no advantage; the other side, the then Qing Government not to let farmers grow sweet talked of offshore, no transactions with foreigners. Sweet talked and finally decline. Heung Street have been selling sweet talked the past few decades. In 2007, Liao BU had not even tree sweet talked into pieces.
However, in order to pursue memory back to Dongguan, Dongguan da XING Xiang City again now. Tree sweet talked back to Dongguan, and became a symbol.
The loss of a memory, Dongguan is very sorry. On December 16, 1914, the red top businessman CHEONG Fatt Tze mansion in Tai Po was born in Guangdong Province led a team of more than 40 people sitting for more than 20 days of ship, is on a United States land in San Francisco, participating in world events--Panama world's fair. This is the Chinese largest exhibitors. CHEONG Fatt Tze mansion Changyu wine, wuliangye and maotai, awards, respectively. In addition, cotton also won the gold medal in Dongguan. In 1988, senior wine history expert Liu Jingyuan in Chinese wine magazine published 1915 who won the Panama tournament gold medal article is recorded in this award-winning list.
Until the eve of the 2010 World Expo, Dongguan, Dongguan cotton wine of this record has provoked concern and excitement. But some of the wine and award-winning-run liquor, disappeared completely, even how much information could not be found. We only know that wine is in Dongguan cotton farm test field test of new varieties. After the battle of the Sino-Japanese war, Ministry of agriculture, to save the agricultural crisis in late Qing dynasty and established the agricultural test site. CHEONG Fatt Tze mansion once used funds of industrial nation leaders supported the agricultural test site work, but due to the confusion of the situation, all the agricultural test site ultimately dissipating cloud.
Cotton Yu, maotai wine and not have an awesome reputation. Because no one knows what cotton wine is wine, so the business sector rejected cotton wine trademark cybersquatting in the morning.
Cotton and sweet talked the common experience of wine, the Dongguan agricultural business that doesn't ripple. But they have attached to the cultural feeling excited in Dongguan after the big rich. As they are now too stiff compared to the Dongguan plant culture, appetite seems to be more in the future.
An issue is out, tried to create a new form of urban culture and in Dongguan, how to say goodbye to the past? This proposition seems to be for China. Wang Zhigang has said of Dongguan, Dongguan China, bad article.
What kind of China, Dongguan what naturally.
