let me first talk about 18 years ago. at that time, it was news that shocked the whole country.

it was the early morning of august 13, 2006.

deng zheyu, a 23-year-old working girl from hunan, is walking on huangpu avenue in guangzhou.

suddenly, a motorcycle sped towards her, and the man on the back seat suddenly reached out and pulled her bag.

deng zheyu subconsciously pulled the bag back, but unexpectedly the man in the front seat immediately increased his power and rushed forward.

deng zheyu lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and was dragged by the motorcycle for more than 3 meters.

her head was hit three or four times by the rear wheel of the motorcycle. she rolled several times on the ground and hit the back of her head on the curb.

the gangster whistled and disappeared into the night...

news media reports at the time

today, many people, especially young people, may find this kind of thing unbelievable.

but this was exactly the kind of speeding robbery that was deeply hated by the whole society at that time, but was very rampant.

now, however, similar drive-by robberies have become extinct.

what has happened in the past ten years or so has made our society safer and safer, and people can eat skewers late at night without any burden.

deng zheyu suffered excessive brain bleeding and died the next afternoon. but only half a month later, "deng zheyu-style" death occurred again.

on september 1 of the same year, zhu fengmei, a 27-year-old migrant worker from anhui, was robbed by a car on younan second street, xinchengsi, wuyang, guangzhou.

while fighting with the gangster, she lost her center of gravity and landed on her head. she was sent to the hospital for rescue and died more than an hour later.

the deaths of these two girls stung people across the country. as a result, many people were frightened and hid when they heard the roar of motorcycles on the road, waiting for the motorcycles to pass before they dared to come out.

similar cases continued from the 1990s to the early 2000s.

in 2008, multiple cases of people taking off from trains to snatch gold necklaces occurred in shenhe district, shenyang city.

ms. wang, who works on wuai street in shenhe district, had just walked to the bus stop after get off work when she heard the roar of a motorcycle behind her.

suddenly she felt a strong stabbing pain in her neck, and the huge force of inertia pushed her forward.

the car behind her didn't react and ran directly over ms. wang's right leg. the pain made ms. wang unconscious. when she woke up, she found that her right leg had been amputated.

different from the above two "speeding robberies" that happened randomly in the early morning and night, ms. wang's gold necklace was robbed in broad daylight in the center of shenyang city, which is enough to show the arrogance of the speeding gang at that time.

when motorcycle gangs were at their most rampant, they would ride motorcycles around you in a swaggering manner on urban roads. those who knew the situation would take the initiative to put down their valuables, otherwise a group of people would immediately rush to rob them.

if you don't give it, he will use his motorcycle to drag you with more power until you let go or die; or else he will just go down with a machete and take away your arms and bags.

according to incomplete official statistics, robberies by "speedster gangs" in various places mainly occurred between 1990 and 2010.

the pearl river delta region, especially guangzhou, is the most rampant. from 1997 to 2006, a total of 15,000 take-off robberies occurred in guangzhou, resulting in more than 100 serious injuries and more than 40 deaths.

at that time, there were hundreds of reports every day in guangzhou urban area of ​​such nasty incidents of speeding robberies and beatings of ordinary people.

many people will ask when they see this, why are the speedster gangs in guangzhou so rampant compared to other parts of my country?

this has to mention the general background at that time.

as we all know, in 1978, my country's coastal areas were the first to be affected by the reform and opening up policy and vigorously develop a transitional economy.

especially in guangzhou, the total gdp in 1978, when reform and opening up began, was only 4.3 billion; in 1995, the gdp exceeded 100 billion yuan, reaching 126.031 billion yuan; it continued to increase in the following years, exceeding 200 billion yuan in 1999; and in 2002, it exceeded 30,000 yuan. billion.

in this land, various legendary stories of getting rich are performed every day. what everyone hears is either that a poor boy went to work and became a millionaire, or that someone bought a new car and became a big boss.

money stimulates everyone's nerves. many passionate young people from all over the country set foot on the hot land of guangzhou with the dream of getting rich.

statistics show that in 2000, there were 120 million floating people in my country, and 40 million people moved across regions, of which 11.6 million flowed into guangdong.

among these 11.6 million people, almost 1/3≈3.9 million people flowed into guangzhou.

you must know that guangzhou's permanent population was only 10 million at that time, which is equivalent to a quarter of guangzhou's population being immigrants.

at that time, many big cities in the south, such as shanghai, shenzhen, hangzhou, and nanjing, were very similar to guangzhou, with their economies booming and people pouring in.

but because resident id cards have not yet started to be connected to the national network, it is easy to forge id cards, and the technical means are not as developed as they are now.

therefore, when some people are idle, they form gangs and travel around to commit crimes.

in addition, after the reform and opening up, motorcycles became popular in big cities such as chongqing, guangzhou, and shanghai, but control was not strict. this was also a big reason for the prevalence of motorcycle gangs at that time.

for example, the archives of the guangzhou traffic police department show that in 1978, there were only 3,833 registered motorcycles in guangzhou.

after the reform and opening up, the first thing many households with a savings of 10,000 yuan did was to buy a motorcycle and then ride it back home.

by 1997, just nineteen years later, the number of registered motorcycles in guangzhou reached a historical peak of 401,655.

but in fact, according to estimates by relevant departments, the number of unregistered "black motorcycles" at that time was almost four times that of legal motorcycles, which gave the motorcycle gangs a lot of room to commit crimes.

now that we have talked about the reasons for the popularity of motorcycle gangs, let’s go back to the reasons for their disappearance.

first of all, the most direct reason is the promulgation of the "motorcycle ban".

for example, the "motorcycle ban" policy in guangzhou's urban area gradually tightened, and by 2007, a complete ban on motorcycles was implemented. the ban has not yet been lifted.

at present, more than 200 cities across the country have followed suit and implemented varying degrees of "motorcycle ban and restriction" policies, covering almost all large and medium-sized cities in my country.

tianjin has restricted the use of motorcycles in urban areas since 2006;

nanjing has restricted the use of motorcycles in urban areas since 2007;

chengdu has restricted the use of motorcycles in urban areas since 2007;

chongqing has restricted the use of motorcycles in urban areas since 2007;

hangzhou has restricted the use of motorcycles in urban areas since 2008;

……

in addition to the promulgation of the "motorcycle ban", the public security department has also launched a heavy blow, increasing police force in various places.

for this purpose, the xi'an public security bureau specially invented a "scythe-hook gun" to intercept the speedsters.

once they see the motorcycle gang committing a crime, the security officer immediately picks up the hook and sickle gun, rushes forward, hooks the car and the people, and overturns them to the ground.

the "sickle gun" invented by xi'an police

the promulgation and implementation of the motorcycle ban completely eliminated the motorcycle gang's tool for committing crimes.

coupled with our country's police's severe crackdown on gangs of evil forces such as the speeder party, the "speed ​​biker gang" has gradually disappeared.

old news about guangzhou police’s crackdown on motorcycle gangs

there are many technical reasons why speedster gang robberies have disappeared.

for example, my country's resident identity management has gradually become stricter, with nationwide networking and unified management, and the public security department has severely cracked down on forged resident identity cards.

from 2018 to the end of august 2019, local public security agencies uncovered more than 32,000 cases of counterfeiting and buying and selling resident identity cards, arrested more than 16,000 suspects, destroyed more than 1,900 fake id card production and trafficking dens, and seized a large number of forged resident identities. certificate.

for another example, with the rise of mobile payment, everyone has almost no cash in their bags, and thus the greatest motivation for robbery has been lost.

but the fundamental reason for the disappearance of the "speed ​​cycling party" must be that my country's reform and opening up continues to deepen, and society provides more development opportunities.

in 2000, my country's gdp growth rate was 8.5%, totaling us$1.215 trillion, accounting for 3.5% of the global economy; in 2010, my country's gdp growth rate was 10.64%, totaling us$6.09 trillion, accounting for 3.5% of the global economy. the proportion is 9.2158%.

as the saying goes: there is no life without business, and there is no wealth without work.

our country has always understood the importance of manufacturing to a country.

china has the world's largest manufacturing capacity.

first, the volume has increased. from 2012 to 2020, my country's manufacturing industry increased from 16.98 trillion yuan to 26.6 trillion yuan.

second, the system is complete. my country's manufacturing industry has 41 major categories, 207 medium categories, and 666 small categories. it is currently the country with the most complete industrial system in the world.

data from the seventh census show that my country’s manufacturing industry employs more than 120 million people. this number means that one in every 14 people in our country works in a factory.

especially in guangdong, under the spring breeze of reform and opening up, many local entrepreneurs did whatever they wanted to do with their bare hands.

wang laichun, who holds a 400 billion business empire, once worked at foxconn and rose through the ranks from front-line worker, team leader, and supervisor.

later, an independent portal founded luxshare precision.

nowadays, luxshare precision has long become a well-known “golden brand” of guangdong factories.

it is these entrepreneurs who dare to think and act that guangdong factories can solve the employment problem of nearly 25% of the migrant population in the country. this number is equivalent to that out of every 4 people you meet in guangdong, there may be 1 who lives thousands of miles away. shan yuehai came to guangdong to work in a factory.

no wonder everyone, no matter how frustrated they are in life, dares to say: "in the worst case, i can work in a factory and get food and shelter, and i can still save six to seven thousand yuan a month."

the factory gave confidence to low-educated workers across the country, and also told potential "speedsters": "food and lodging are included, and you still have six to seven thousand a month. it's no better than if you are outside in the sun, and if you are not careful, is it easy to live in jail?”

the factory solves the problems of life, and the speedsters naturally lose their living space.

in the final analysis, development is the fundamental solution to the problem.
