Did people ever know that he was only twenty-two years old when he founded this subject? Education, just an ordinary middle school student.

198 1 One day in late autumn, Cheng Baoquan came out of Hubei University of Finance and Economics with a manuscript of more than 500,000 words. His face was flushed and his lips were white.
This is the first time in his life that he entered an institution of higher learning and met a professor. He stood in front of this great wise man, so restrained and afraid. Associate Professor L looked up at the young man with tender hair on his lips: "I'm afraid your theory is not easy to accept. Because argumentative theories are often put forward by authoritative people, and you are only in your twenties. Moreover, whether your theory is right or not and what value it has remains to be studied. "
Cheng Baoquan felt his mind buzzing, as if the world, people and things, the snake mountain and the great river were shaking and spinning in front of him. ...
Is it fate or the times that arranged for him to shoulder his share of the plow and March hard towards the virgin land of quality economics? When he was a teenager, he never thought about it. At that time, he was so obsessed with the deep night sky and bright stars. There, saturated with his rosy dreams.
He grew up in a remote mountain village in yingshan county, Hubei. When he was just ten years old and was able to express nature in words, he began to make astronomical observations: the stars, the moon and the sun … all year round, never stopping, writing observation diaries and reading astronomical monographs.
But because my father was wrongly classified as the Rightist, despite his excellent academic performance, he was blocked from the high school gate, so he cried bitterly.
He returned to the production team to farm and was sent to work in the "Black Five". In order to reduce mental humiliation, he asked to go to the water conservancy site.
During the day, although moving stones made his legs tremble. At night, he still keeps looking at the twinkling stars. In four years, he wrote more than 300,000 words of observation notes, calculated nearly 10,000 astronomical data, and sent these data to Professor Dai Wensai, a famous astronomer of Nanjing University. Lao Dai replied to him in time, encouraged him, praised him, and told him that these hundreds of thousands of words had certain research value.
He is fascinated-one day, he will be able to enter an astronomical professional institution, how fascinating it will be! Sure enough, the green angel brought him hope and gospel. /kloc-in the summer of 0/978, he was recruited into the college entrance examination preparatory class by the organization department of the county party Committee and took the long-awaited entrance examination. ...

Cheng Baoquan was admitted. However, what he dreamed of was not the astronomy department of Nanjing University, but the newly established finance and trade school in Huanggang, Hubei Province. How difficult it is to cry goodbye to the ideal you pursue!
1979 summer vacation, the school asked students to do some economic management surveys during the holidays. After returning to Yingshan, he walked into the auto parts factory and visited the motor factory ... He heard that a factory director carried the products out for sale, but because the quality was not up to standard, he had to carry them back breathlessly. At first, he really blushed for the director, but an old worker said in the cool, "No wonder the director."
"Who is to blame?" His eyes widened.
"The machine tool has a big error and the quality of raw materials is poor. How can we not produce waste products? " The old worker said very angrily.
Oh, Cheng Baoquan seems to have learned something.
Later, when he returned to his hometown, he was indescribable happy to see that every household turned on the lights. But the villagers complained: "It is not cost-effective to break three light bulbs a month. It is better to light a kerosene lamp. "
Suddenly, Cheng Baoquan's thoughts jumped up and went back to the past:
1In July, 975, he worked hard day and night with 50,000 migrant workers in his hometown to build a large-scale water conservancy project. There is an eye-catching banner hanging on the construction site: "Millennium plan, quality first." After three years of hard work, the dam was completed as scheduled. But soon, the core wall of the dam cracked. ...
These seemingly unrelated phenomena are so closely linked: factories produce waste products, light bulbs are waste products, and dams become waste products. Waste products, inferior products, inferior products, can't we do something about these disasters that everyone sees and feels every day? Where can we find a door to firmly lock up these inferior products that endanger society and mankind?
So many question marks, like rows of huge waves hitting his chest wall, sent out the echo of chasing. Cheng Baoquan resolutely bid farewell to the fascinating space and knocked on the door of quality economics.

As soon as he returned to school, he began to study and write quality economics, entitled "Research on Quality and Benefit".
/kloc-graduated in the autumn of 0/980 and was assigned to Huanggang District Administration for Industry and Commerce as the chief accountant. There is a fundamental deficit in the control of one's time and space: everything must be based on being a good employee.
How easy is it to explore quality and benefit research only by relying on limited spare time?
Ten years of turmoil left him with a congenital lack of knowledge; Economic theory, for him, was a blank sheet of paper two years ago. Now we should climb the Jade Emperor peak of quality economics, and we should learn Marx and Engels' economic theory. Adam Smith, david ricardo, Taylor and Zhu Lan should specialize in their theoretical works; Understand the theoretical articles of Sun, Yu Guangyuan and Xue Muqiao. All this takes time.
As a comprehensive marginal economic discipline, quality economics involves ancient history, economic thought history, natural science, philosophy and mathematics ... as well as the quality data of ancient tools, the quality data of large-scale projects after A.D., and the trends and information of quality research in the world today ... However, there is no dazzling library at present; There are no modern facilities, computers, information transmission and feedback centers. He had to borrow books from the local area and look for information book by book. And all this takes time.
As an applied discipline, quality economics must understand the process of production, exchange, circulation and distribution. It still takes time to calculate, compare, correctly judge and reason all kinds of data.
As a pioneer discipline, quality economics must start from scratch, and Cheng Baoquan is trying to explore it.
His activity schedule is: 6 am to 7 am; Noon 12 to noon 1 point; From 6: 00 pm to 12: 00 pm, he devoted himself to the huge project of "quality economics" except for eating, sleeping and working. Monday to Saturday is used for self-study or writing, and Sunday and holidays are used for investigation and research.
Spare time can't be extended any longer. I don't know how many times I slept with my clothes and books. In order to save time, he wrote a few big characters with a brush and posted them on the wall: "Chat for no more than fifteen minutes". A few days later, he changed it to "chat for no more than five minutes". A few days later, it was simply changed to "chat for no more than three minutes." One night, a classmate came to play and couldn't sit still after three minutes. Cheng Xiao used his quick wits to take out a book and said apologetically, "I want to write something and let this book accompany you." Since then, the story of "accompanying guests with books" has spread …
