China issued a set of banknotes 40 years ago. The "red ticket" at that time was not 100 yuan, but 1 yuan. There were 20-cent notes. The characters on China paper money are all prototypes. For example, the prototype of the one-dollar bill is called Schneider, and so is the 20-cent bill. Both girls have prototypes. How are they now?
Speaking of 20-cent notes, many young people have never seen them, especially after zero. After all, it's hard to see 20-cent notes on the market now. Of course, compared with today's prices, 20-cent notes seem useless. What's more, in the era of online payment and code scanning payment, paper money has become a burden, let alone 20 cents paper money?
At that time, the 20-cent bill was green, a bit like today's 50-dollar bill. There are two beautiful girls' heads on it, namely Huang Qiping and Su.
Starting with 1979. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Central Palace of Ethnic Culture is going to hold an exhibition on ethnic work. Since the exhibition will involve all ethnic groups, some representatives from all ethnic groups should be selected as lecturers. At that time, Huang Qiping was the representative of Tujia nationality and Su was the representative of Korean nationality. Two girls who have never met in a different place met because they were chosen as commentators.
104 representatives of ethnic minorities came to Beijing, where they will start their four-year lecturer career. At 1980, there were several special photographers in the Cultural Palace, who were sent by the bank. Among the many commentators, four girls with outstanding image and temperament were selected, including Huang Qiping and Su, who took photos with the photographers in costumes with strong national characteristics.
Soon after, the heads of Qi Huang Pinghe Su appeared on the 1980 RMB 20-cent banknote.
Tujia girl, currently inspector of agriculture Committee.
Huang Qiping, a Tujia girl, 1958, from Hunan. 1975 After graduating from high school, she began to work. After working for three years, she came to Beijing as a commentator. She is only 19 years old, which is the time of charm.
She 1982 left Beijing and returned to Hunan to work in the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee. Until this time, she didn't know that her head appeared on a dime, only knowing that her photo was in the photo album of China Nation.
Until 1983, when a person in charge of the Cultural Palace was on a business trip and passed through Hunan, he went to see Huang Qiping and brought her a special gift, that is, the brand-new 1980 version of the 20-cent banknote with Huang Qiping's head on it. Only then did she realize that her head was on a 20-cent bill.
After returning to Hunan, Huang Qiping has been working in the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee. 1993, became the deputy director of the personnel department. Four years later, he became a full member. In 2002, he became an assistant inspector. In 2005, she came to work in the Provincial Department of Agriculture as the head of the discipline inspection team. In 2008, she became the deputy director, and later became the inspector of the Provincial Agriculture Committee, and has been working until today.
As a "RMB girl", Huang Qiping was once recognized as the prototype of the 20-cent banknote, which attracted many journalists and media, and many merchants wanted to ask her to be an endorsement, but Huang Qiping refused. She said that it is a great honor to have her RMB portrait, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with interests.
Now she has a happy family, her husband is from the north, and they have a son who is a sophomore.
Compared with Huang Qiping, Sue is younger. She was born in 1963. Huang Li Ke Qiping, who was selected as the commentator together with other 103 minority girls. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was photographed on the RMB and became a RMB girl.
Huang Like Jiping, her work in the Cultural Palace is temporarily seconded. 198 1, she left the Cultural Palace, but did not leave Beijing, and was left to work in the China Museum for Nationalities.
Later, she went back to her hometown to work for several years. 1985, she returned to school and studied at Minzu University of China and Peking University. After coming out of college, she returned to work in the society and worked in a Korean subsidiary.
1989 came to Korea to work, and after returning to China, she married her husband, a Hui. After their marriage, she and Peking University jointly organized a foreign language training class, which is still today.
As one of the "RMB girls", she also accepted an interview with a reporter. In the process of chatting with reporters, she talked about the experience of that year. When her parents learned that she was elected as a representative of the Korean nationality, they were extremely happy. When she was a commentator in the Cultural Palace, because the little girls were excellent, she was sought after by many boys. At that time, Sue was still young and didn't like getting along with people, so she read and studied in the library every day.
Unlike Huang Qiping, no one later recognized her as the girl on the dime. After all, people change with age, and my family wanted to show off, but she stopped them. She said, "To tell you the truth, I don't want to be silent." Even husbands believe that their wives used to be "RMB girls". Huang Like Qiping, she also has a happy family now.
I have to say that being chosen as a "RMB girl" is not an easy task. First of all, the "RMB girls" at that time were all selected from countless people. It is lucky for a few people to choose at most three or four young girls in their prime to catch up with this time. If you want to stand out from tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, you need to have good looks and extraordinary temperament. This is strength. It can be said that this matter is the coexistence of strength and luck.
It was a great honor to appear in the RMB at that time and now. What kind of people do you think can appear on the RMB, and more than one billion people in the country can win this honor? It is said that they didn't get any remuneration at that time, including welfare. At that time, people didn't care about it, just thought it was an honor.
To be sure, neither Huang Qiping nor Su wants to show off this matter, but they just don't know how they felt when they spent twenty cents in that still popular era.
