The feet are tightly clamped on the triangular panels, and they are skilled in wearing the linen thread, and then thread the needles.

For more than half a century, Zhang Xuexin, a woman worker in Chengdu's three shoe club, has been making shoes for the Citizens until her eyes are blind and her shoulders are left skew permanently.

That needle and thread not only brought her happy marriage, but also recorded Chengdu City.

The historical changes of shoe culture.

At 9:12 last night, the 93 year old Zhang Xuexin died peacefully in the family of Dashi Nan Road.

I was born with shoes.

In the 30s of last century, there was a famous shoe store in the street of Chengdu. There was a new apprentice named Wang Zeguang, who was diligent and eager to learn how to make shoes.

In those days, Zhang Xuexin, 19 years old, was very poor at home. She was very clever and clever. She was good at knitting women workers. When she was free, she always liked to see Wang TSE Guang's shoes in shoe stores. Two people soon became acquainted and often talked about making shoes.

Soon after, the two became husband and wife, and opened a shoe store in Zitong bridge west to make a living.

"I guess my father gave his mother a token of his affection, which was a pair of exquisite cloth shoes."

Daughter Wang Huaiqing said, in the age of material poverty, a pair of cloth shoes made by hand can best express their wishes.

The most qualified person is the third sister.

In the memory of their children, the most impressive impression left by their mothers is that they should take a stool and sit at the door of their home, their feet tightly clamped to make a triangular plate for shoes. They will be shining brightly, shoulders on the left, and skillfully thread needles.

After half a day, a pair of fine, durable and durable layers of the floor were found, and there was no stitch.

It takes at least a day for the average person to have a couple of thousand floors.

Zhang Xuexin made shoes fast, and her style was beautiful.

In the second half of the year, the citizens of "Zhang Sanjie" make shoes.

The fashionable lady wears the cheongsam to be "Zhang Sanjie" Da Da shoes, the student sister loves "Zhang three elder sister" plate shoes, the handsome young man wears the Chinese tunic suit also to match "Zhang three elder sister" the small round mouth shoes and the shoes.

"Mother often stays up late at night to work, and then her eyes are gradually gone."

Wang Huaiqing remembered that her mother's left hand had 4 thick yellow cocoons for a long time, and the right hand had a callus because of the pressing cone.

That is, using a knife to cut cocoons is not painful, long and long.

Love your children's arms

In 50s of last century, public and private joint ventures, Zhang Xuexin became the Chengdu women's shoes three club's female workers, because three clubs did not have a place, Zhang Xue Xin had to take his home as a workshop.

After becoming a shoe factory female worker, Zhang Xuexin Nash shoes have more than one content -- spontaneously for the PLA Nanhai shoes.

Wang Huaiqing said that his uncle sacrificed himself in the war of resistance against Japan, and his mother also had a special interest in the PLA. She often called the sisters together, who would make the army shoes good and fast.

The black cloth has become the most fashionable style at that time, and even embodies the view of life of a generation.

As Zhang Xuexin often taught his children, he said, "no luxury, no comparison, diligence, sincerity, and down-to-earth."

Witness the feelings of history

At that time, a lot of shoe factories were set up all over the country, which ushered in the heyday of Chinese cloth shoes, and also made some famous brands, such as Sanjiang cloth shoes in Sichuan.

It is said that some of the people who founded the Sanjiang shoe brand in West Sichuan were Zhang Xuexin's workers.

Zhang Xuexin thus became the witness of history.

In 1977, Zhang Xuexin retired home, because his energy was limited and his shoes were getting smaller.

With the development of the economy, leather shoes and sports shoes have grabbed the market, cloth shoes gradually fade out of the main stage of footwear, but Chang Xin Xin still has a special liking for cloth shoes, so long as someone asks her to make shoes, she is always willing to give.

At 6 this morning, the farewell ceremony of Zhang Xuexin's elderly was held at the funeral parlour in Chengdu.
