It is a pity that during the Spring Festival Evenings, there have been no car-related programs for many years. No matter whether it is songs, sketches or comic dialogues, or other topics, it has not been covered. This year's Spring Festival Gala has a line of words and a car touched on the side: "Yesterday was going out, and it was only today. The road was blocked." The reason why I say something, the only line in this line is traffic, from the car. Still far away.

In fact, Chinese cars have been bustling for 10 years. As far as Beijing in my life is concerned, after the policy of restricting the purchase of cars was implemented at the end of last year, a joke quickly appeared: We started to prepare to buy a car, but Beijing restricted it; we had just enough money to buy a petrol car. You are ready to buy an electric car. We paid for the car. You bought a car and gave you a subsidy. We finally got into the car and you can't walk anymore.

Rather than saying that this is a joke, it would be better to say that this is the epitome of China’s car dream for 10 years and also the Chinese.

Now people buy cars, most of them will be puzzled by hundreds of models. As far back as that time, cars are not only a symbol of status, but also there is only room for choice. Only Sangwi (Santa, Jetta, Fukang) is defined as a passenger car abroad. The car, in China, was called a sedan, which highlighted the symbol of feudalism and identity. It is said that the name of the sedan was derived from the middle and low heights used by the officials in ancient times, and the four strong men used the shoulders to carry the officials. Sedan chair. The influence of cars on people is ubiquitous. I recall that many years ago when one of my Shandong relatives described the annual profit of his small factory, he repeatedly described it as “making Santana a year.” Another sedan chair. The corroboration of the impact is that Chinese people only recognize sedan cars for a long period of time, and they do not recognize hatchback cars. Even many people who do not have tails are not car prejudices.

So that in a few years later, when Shanghai GM proposed the concept of “10 million yuan to buy a small Buick”, the entire Beijing auto market was in a hurry. I remember that at the time of the delivery ceremony held at a 4S shop near Yuquanying in the South 3rd Ring Road in Beijing, the female car owner who got the car key was full of excitement. The delivery ceremony was on the front page of the media in the capital the next day. Today, 100,000 yuan is just an ordinary car for most people.

It is the same for companies, from the sole Shanghai automakers, FAW-Volkswagen and Shenlong Fukang auto companies, to domestic auto giants such as North and South Toyota, North-South Honda, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. It's all about snapping things up for 10 years. In particular, after China's accession to the WTO put forward the policy of “encouraging cars to enter the family”, the Chinese auto market has entered the “blowout” market for 10 consecutive years. China’s auto production has grown from 2 million in 2000 to 8 million in 2010, ranking first in the world in production and sales. Zhang Xiaoyi, president of the China Association of Automotive Engineers, once said that the blowout growth has been maintained for 10 consecutive years and it is also very rare in the history of the world’s automobiles.

The company’s sales volume has undergone changes from quantitative to qualitative changes in the past 10 years. It was difficult to sell 100,000 vehicles each year. In 2010, Shanghai GM, Shanghai Volkswagen, SAIC-GM-Wuling and other three years were born. Production and sales of more than one million companies. An Tiecheng, FAW-Volkswagen's general manager, said that 1 million vehicles could not have thought about it before. Now it is an immediate matter.

The automotive products have also grown in popularity over the past 10 years. From simple hatchbacks, they have extended the dazzling names of C-RVs, SUVs, MPVs, SRVs, and CUVs, from luxury goods to common tools. The change is also the last 10 years or so. After only a short period of 10 years, General Motors, which has repeatedly been selected as an MBA course, went bankrupt. Toyota also fell into the biggest recall ever, and our own brands Chery, Great Wall, and Geely not only went abroad, but also Volvo was Income Geely's.



This year's Spring Festival, carpooling is quite popular. It reminds me of an experience of the Spring Festival in 2007. On the third day of the year, Shandong’s “pro-gazette” was on its way to Beijing, admiring a street in Jinan, famous for its “kebab”. Unexpectedly, he just turned into the street and parked the car in front of a shop, and saw a Jetta car of the Beijing brand also came in and stopped by us. Drivers and passengers probed each other and looked at the license plate, smiling heartily.

When driving from Beijing-Shanghai high-speed to Beijing, the Beijing-made car has already formed a mighty Beijing returning team: exquisite Alto, QQ, simple Jetta, Beverly, luxury Mercedes, BMW, majestic cutting, Toyota, beautiful POLO, Vios, some loaded with old and young, some full of New Year's goods, and some carrying a small couplet, Beijing car back to work! After the festival, I went to the Internet to know that wherever you wanted, during the Spring Festival there were Beijing car tours: Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Huangshan Resort, Daxinganling, Qinhuai Riverside, Zhangjiajie, Qiantang River, city, countryside, and snow. , Jiangnan......

This is not just a change in the mode of travel. Traveling by car and traveling by air and train have a fundamental difference in the way of life and economic differences. The United States is known as the "country on wheels," and its gross national product and economic efficiency are ahead of the world. For individuals, having a car means an increase in the radius of life, which means an improvement in the quality of life. However, for a city or country, the increase in car ownership will directly increase economic efficiency and make economic value inflow. Expansion will lead to economic development tending towards balance in accessibility, which will lead to an overall improvement in the quality of the people, and will make the country’s strength substantially evolve. This is the true meaning of life on wheels.
